I left the bad place in February of 2023 and have been over on Spoutible, where I still am, but really missed so many of my peeps that I'm finding here. My army of cats is now 5 - Tony the tabby 13, Fidget 20, Winnie the calico 5, and Vex & Vax 2. Please share your fur babies!

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

Unity is not conformity..not victory..not partisan. Unity is a way of being that..respects our differences teaches us to hold multiple perspectives..as valid.. enables us in our community.. and the halls of power to genuinely care for one another even when we disagree

Practical: I'm extremely good in an emergency and can think on my feet to solve or fix any problem I'm presented with within physical limitations.

Impractical: I get along extremely well with small children. As my wife says I'm fluent in 3yo.
I want to know, if we’re all in the apocalypse together, what one practical skill and one impractical skill are you bringing to the commune?

Reminder: Gender is a construct, and the fact that there exists in reality no rigid gender binary & that gender is more of a spectrum & there are certainly more than just 2 identifiable genders has actually been known for millennia. It's not new. The obstinate ignorance of right-wingers is evil.

I think I've had mine since 2000 but my parents have had theirs since 1978.
How long have y’all had your current phone number ?

I’ve had mine since high school.

I understand the confusion and anger from Democrats right now.

However, one thing that would be super counterproductive is forming a strategy going forward that ignores the 3 groups who voted correctly: Black people, Jewish people, and the LGBTQ community.

Don't abandon our base to win bigots.

Both are emblematic of our nation founded on white supremacy and worship of unrestrained free markets. There is no justice only the almighty dollar.
So Luigi Mangione who killed the healthcare ceo, allegedly, will be a villain to big media and handwringing folk on both sides of politics…

But Daniel Penny who murdered a random Black man is a hero to …

You know what.. Never mind..

Monday in America.

Maga got a new hero-Daniel Penny.

See them celebrate the 400-year norm of a white man publically murdering a Black man and walking free.

The same ones celebrating their criminal president promising to pardon Jan 6 criminals, now say justice prevailed.

Monday in America.

And if she'd given him the cold shoulder we'd be hearing about what a frigid b-word she was. Fuck the media and all the misogynistic horses they rode in on.
Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner suggests that Jill Biden is having an affair with Donald Trump: "Clearly she gravitates towards power."

After co-host Emily Compagno starts oohing and ahhing, Faulkner doubles down.

"I will just say it, because it is the truth."

If you want to understand how systemic white supremacy functions consider that zero cops went to prison for killing Fred Hampton in an illegal raid 55 years ago today but Leonard Peltier still languishes in prison 47 years after defending himself from two cops conducting an illegal raid.

The only time I've used Borax was to kill fleas in my carpet from a kitten that I rescued. Are they getting dumber by the day?
So the anti-vaxxers are eating Borax now?

A timeless message! If you're in Chicago, I cannot recommend Women and Children First Bookstore enough. Not only was it founded by lesbians but they sold it to the employees when they retired a few years ago.
Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.

Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

Lack of empathy is what has defined and continues to define the modern Republican. They view addiction as something to mock, something that makes the addict less than human. I had heated words at a business dinner because an associate was mocking Hunter and everyone was laughing until I went off.
They don’t hate his pardon. They hate his manhood.They offer no sympathy or empathy to drug afflicted or drug affected-the “war on drugs” taught us that.

Like the war on fentanyl is mis focused on Mexico while ignoring prevention, treatment, post treatment

Even for their own white children/adults

People who don’t consider themselves “criminals” underestimate how quickly things they take for granted having the right to do can become criminalized under authoritarianism. I have friends who’ve been imprisoned for years for protesting (Egypt) and defending a client as a human rights lawyer (KSA).

The only people who think President Biden pardoning Hunter is somehow a bad thing are the same people who have used his son's struggle with addiction to harm and torture the Bidens. For the rest of us it's simply a continuation of the kindness and grace we know is in the President's soul.

Joe Biden was at work for the American people when his wife and baby daughter were killed and his young sons suffered life-altering injuries in a tragic accident.

The entire Biden family has given more than enough to this entire ungrateful nation and provided enough red meat to the pundit outrage porn machine.

You are going to have to find another excuse for your bullshit.

The Biden family is done giving.

Fuck your faux outrage about it.

400+ years after the "First Thanksgiving" most Americans have no idea that the Wampanoag people are still here. My tribe, the Aquinnah Wampanoag, is on Martha's Vineyard and we're still fighting for our land and rights. We’re also doing some cool stuff. 🧵👇 if you’d like to learn more & support us
