You also need to say this shit when people get fired for mentioning their personal gender or get roughed up for looking at ICE the wrong way.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

"the cruelty is the point" got sloganized out of meaning as so much messaging does, but basically reminds us that they are doing the atrocities on purpose, to cause fear and pain, because they benefit strategically and materially from it

Braiding is very hard. Physically challenging. I am trying to imagine the manual dexterity an automaton would need to have to braid well--and I think we are many years distant from that possibility. There is an assumption in the article that this is an easy skill. It's a racist assumption.
Video games still can’t render Black hair properly, but ok.

Draining public dollars and leaving kids behind. Public schools don’t do that, but charters and voucher schools do too often.
🚨 A West Palm Beach charter school is closing just weeks before school starts—after 3 years of low grades: bit.ly/3IKydCF
Charters drain resources from public schools, then disappear when things go wrong. Our students deserve better.

Here’s what pisses me off: the people who scream “censorship!!” the loudest are the same chuds who cheer when LGBTQ+ books are banned, drag shows are criminalized, or queer games are shadowbanned. It’s not about free speech—it’s about control.

The curse of modernity is everything must work. Time must work, land must work, the sun must work, trees must work, the water must work. If anything cannot be justified as productive it must be made so.
"Plus, she says using AI is convenient and fast. “Why would you make yourself walk someplace if you have a car?"
Because walks are fun and lovely and you get to see cool stuff and be part of your neighborhood
Why does every thing have to be about efficiency and meeting goals? That's not living!
