This silly #antifascism #song I wrote a million years ago. Please, please fight. I’m trying to find a way of my own as someone who has people who could be hurt as a result of my #protests

Most Americans genuinely believe there's some grand overarching force that stops illegal things from happening. That's the truth. We think there's a Boss who says "I won't allow this" and are genuinely surprised when an illegal or unfair thing happens anyway.

I do not understand why homelessness pisses people off enough to criminalize it, but not enough to fix it

Today would've been Marsha P. Johnson's 80th birthday. She spent her life advocating for LGBTQ people, youth experiencing homelessness, and people living with HIV.

Artist Osaze Akil Stigler honored Marsha with this panel as part of our Freedom to Be quilt on the National Mall earlier this year.

Wait so is it just like…..white people, facing any kind of adversity for the first time, have decided chaos and mass death is the only answer to solving that? Cause, I mean, yeah of course that’s where they’d go with this.

Recent-ish research in political science identified the concept of some people having a "need for chaos," which is also correlated with anti-democratic attitudes. Wouldn't be surprised if this is the case for some of these folks' as well.

transphobia is a fundamental tenet of fascism, so if a political party accepts transphobes in their ranks they are contributing to the normalization of fascism no matter how progressive the party otherwise claims to be

because it has to pass again in the house everyone PLZ call and writer your congresspeople AGAIN and tell them they MUST votes against it. The current Medicaid bill lasts til Jan 2026, then it will kick 20 Million people off Medicaid. 40% of all children are on Medicaid. 70mill Americans total.
Use this form to demand that your reps vote to keep Medicaid intact

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Do not, under most any circumstances, use the information provided in the AI summary

At the very least scroll down to the blurb from the first article, and better yet click in and confirm

Pretend like it isn't there
my wife googled “united airlines customer service” the other day and the AI summary seemed legit enough so she called the number that it listed. she got like 30 seconds into the call before they were asking for her BANK INFO. a scammer had gotten their number prominent enough that the AI grabbed it.

The highlight of my day had to be screaming at the automated customer service for my colon cancer screening. Trying and trying to give my birthday just to be able to poop in a bag and get it tested.

I think the one humanizing bit on this website is that, really, we’re all just a set of broken toys here.

At the doctor’s office, and I’m just vibrating with worry. A physical which gets compounded by recent lab work showing i now have diabetes. Just feel ashamed.

You know what i miss? Eating fistfuls of wintogreen Tic-Tacs, not to stave off bad breath, but to feel flush and alive with minty excess.

Sleep’s like those automatic spikes in a parking garage. Do it right, and no one gets hurt. Do it wrong, and you’re slashed and bewildered.
