Ok, American football is a fucked up, and high school football is so bullshit on many levels...
But my kid is in the band, so I'm listening to the game livestream (so I don't get there too early), and honestly it's delightful. The other coach just got a sideline penalty for shouting at officials!

Starbucks is probably the best corporation I've ever worked for...because when I worked there, it *chose* to be fairly decent.
This is why we need unions: treating employees ethically should not be a *choice*. When your locals baristas strike, get your latte somewhere else.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.
Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.
Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here
“don’t be bigoted towards AI.”
your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ

The thing that most helps get me through this puppy life I'm currently living is the mantra "at least he's not a human baby, at least he's not a human baby". 😂
No shade to human babies or the people who love them! I'm good with babies. I just don't want to cohabitate with one.

I don't know who needs to know this, but if you look for synonyms for "asshole" on OneLook, the term "Mel Gibson" is number 79. YOU'RE WELCOME.

It's astonishing how many (white, they have all been white) moms tell me I'm lucky my kid is a boy because boys are so much easier than girls. Like. Is this just projection? Do these people not have brothers or friends who experienced boyhood? It's wild as fuck. Adolescence screws every body.

Me at the high school football game taking many pictures of my kid, who's playing tonight.
He's in his cute little uniform and shit just like all the other kids.
And yes, he plays tenor sax. 😂 Was there something else going on tonight? <looks around vaguely>

That moment when you're agonizing over wtf happens in the last 25% of a novel (and your deadline is in like a couple of weeks), then it occurs to you to read the synopsis you wrote two months ago where, miracle of miracles, you spelled out a fun, exciting, nail-biting last 25%.

Which is also why they reacted so strongly to being called ‘weird’.
A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

I keep learning new things. I thought "planking" referred to people doing, you know, planks in public. Like. The exercise. I didn't get it, except I have seen people post workout videos so hey.
APPARENTLY IT'S EVEN WEIRDER THAN THAT.
Gif is what I thought people were doing...

When the US began to strip trans people of rights, revert documentation, move trans women to men's prisons, censor research, and move towards healthcare bans, most cis people posted things like "the government can't tell you who you are!"
They think our biggest issue is validation, not actual harm.

I know folks shy away from this, but I don't see how there is any other conclusion to draw. I am white; I vividly remember other white people giving me the "I don't like him, but I don't think he's *racist*" line in 2016. White liberals pulled this shit. SOMEHOW THEY STILL ARE.
All shade, but this is also happening because people underestimate the overwhelming evil nature and racism of white people.

I know a lot of non-binary folks are afraid to call themselves trans. Because they don't experience biological gender dysphoria or any dysphoria at all.
And I'm here to tell you: You are trans.
Being transgender means that your gender does not match you assigned sex at birth. That's it!
