This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.
regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society

Y’all know the whole point of the Greenland thing is to fuck up NATO, yeah? US attacks/annexes Greenland, NATO is obligated to respond for Denmark, NATO states either come at the US military or dissolve the alliance. No matter what, Putin wins. Trump is a KGB asset.

Tell me again about how voting for Harris was voting for genocide
UPDATE: Trump said he and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu talked Tuesday about relocating Palestinians and leveling Gaza, which he suggested could be the “Riviera of the Middle East” under U.S. ownership.

It took many decades for power to bleed from the other branches to the Executive. Both parties played a role in this (and everyone liked things like executive orders and signing statements when their side was doing them), but that gets us HERE. Remember Schoolhouse Rock "I'm just a bill"? Outdated.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Post TikTok’s comeback, check who you’re following. I was “randomly” unsubscribed from AOC and some vocal mainstream center left accounts. Also: go block FB, Insta, Meta, and WhatsApp on there. Your FYP will suddenly go back to normal.

Community is how we survive. Frið is what gets us through this. Found family can save lives. Fascism likes when you comply, but it loves when you think you’re alone. You’re not. Reach out. Build community. Weave frið. Help who and where you can, strike back where and how you can, but always: survive

Times are going to be real bad for a while. Not four years, but more like ten to twenty. Protect your queer friends, protect your trans friends, raise your kids to know that this shift in the culture is a hateful bag of garbage. We fight as we can, we hunker down as we can’t. We pull together.

What is the etiquette of finding an animal corpse and stripping it for the skull? There’s a roadkill of some sort in the back of the neighborhood and, hey, free skull! But I’d need to get it and clean it and like… do I ask the property owner? Been there a couple days. I just want a cool skull.
