My life is meaningless if the lives of any group are devalued. I’m grateful for my body’s ability to sense danger, be pushed into a corner, and have all its fucks to give shaken out like lunch money. Its what makes protest easy. I’m only compliant when life has meaning. #FAAFO

I always feel stupid asking, “How are you holding up?” especially in times like these. So I’ve started saying, “I care about you and will do whatever I can for you.” because that is not a question.

Hate being poor and having to rely on sadists.

This photo is truly horrifying based on how disgusting and sinister it is. Nothing about this is about #education. This will be in a history book one day for children to learn like we learned about Hilter. I’m truly sick at my stomach. #NaziAmerica #Trump

#America is not for sale. We’ll give it away as long as you provide us human rights. Hell, we’ll pay to have someone adopt us. A small sensible country could make bank with all the capital gains we’ll liquidate in the sale. We even have DuoLingo. We’ll learn your language!

I hear you can report your daily bowel movements and even upload files. Do with that what you will.

Are you considering syncing your Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok posts with Bluesky? I’m getting rid of those platforms and never want to miss a moment of your humor during these dark times. ♥️

I am not Thomas
BladePactWarlock • 6h Look, I don't know you and I won't pretend to be able to read the future, but I will mention one thing. I had a group chat in college with my roommate and two friends, also in comp sci. Just guys being dudes for a few years. Boom, one of us is non-binary. Boom, second one is a trans woman. Boom, I'm a trans woman. Now my best friend is the only one of us who is still cis. One might think it's only a matter of time before he breaks, but l've come to a different conclusion. As the years go by more and more people in his orbit end up queer. His gf is bi, his only sibling is gender fluid, more and more of his friends come out as trans, and I think I know what's happening. He's slowly consuming the heterosexuality and cisgenderism of everyone around him. Soon there will only be two kinds of people on this earth. Queer people, and Thomas. IT GETS BETTER

AL SHARPTON'S DEI BOYCOTT PLAN 24 HOUR BLACKOUT on FRIDAY FEBRUARY 28, from 12 AM to 11:59 PM. THIS IS THE FIRST STEP to counter the attack on DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) • Do not make any purchases. • Do not shop online, or in-store • No Amazon • No Walmart • No Best Buy • No McDonalds and other fast-food stores • No Gas • No Major Retailers • Do not use Credit or Debit Cards for non-essential spending. Try to buy all you need before Friday, February 28, but IF NECESSARY: • Only buy essentials of absolutely necessary items such as food, medicine, emergency supplies) • If you must spend, ONLY support small, local businesses. WHY THIS MATTERS! Corporations and banks only care about their bottom line. Disrupting the economy for even one day sends a powerful message. If they don't listen we make the next blackout longer. Our numbers are powerful. This is how we make history! SPREAD THE MESSAGE! Please share with all of your contacts. Talk about it, post about it, document your actions that day! We must use he power we do have and send an economic message with our numbers as did Dr. King!! FEBRUARY 28TH. The 24-Hour Economic Black Out Begins.

When men refer to themselves as "alpha males", , I hear that in the context of software, where alpha versions are unstable, missing important features, filled with flaws, and not fit for the public.

Lost a #friend who was everything the world needs right now—compassionate, loyal, fierce in her love. She had a deep heart, full of light, for all the #students she taught and the friends she made. In a time of such #darkness, losing a light like hers makes #hope seem futile. Be at #peace, friend.

There should be a website with a playlist of current & former #activists talking about the toll it takes & how to keep #hope. While the forms of activism may need to change, the principles for personal & #community care likely will not. We need our #elders.
