Phew. Okay, so, this is tough.
I can't afford to pay for the surgery my beloved Eugenides needs to save his mouth from severe inflammation and infection. I'm chronically underpaid by my day job and already struggling financially.

"Trans ideology, in this telling, is tricking people into thinking that there's nothing wrong with transitioning. That being trans is awesome, and loving yourself is a good thing, and you should live your truest self. And you know what? I subscribe to that ideology whole-heartedly."

It's extremely effective if people just do it. Kids' trans sports bans? Oh you want to examine the genitals of all the girls playing sports? That seems like a big problem and people should be worried about you.
Same for bathroom bans

Cis people are really underestimating the satisfaction and effectiveness of looking a transphobe dead in the eyes and asking why they care about other people’s genitalia. Stop ceding ground and start getting REAL petty.

The larger structural issue of farm systems depending on exploiting and underpaying its workers also must be part of this conversation. The Fair Food Program is a key piece of this puzzle.

I desperately hope this makes it into Galileo the Musical (I have tickets to see it next weekend but know nothing about it)
beef is what got Galileo arrested!
the church wasn’t mad he wrote about heliocentrism (Copernicus did it years before and they were like *shrug emoji*), they were mad he took the pope’s money to write a book about how dumb the pope was
the real story is so much funnier and bitchier than the lore

I saw someone say beef doesn’t happen in other genres and … just say you’ve never heard of alexander pope

I'm sure thst unless you follow Jewish media you have seen absolutely nothing about this but today a group of Isreali and US Rabbis were arrested at the Gaza border for demonstrating while attempting to bring a shipment of food to Palestinians. They are part of the group Rabbis for Ceasefire.

AI is inevitable. Just like blockchain was inevitable, and Bitcoin and crypto were inevitable, and NFTs were inevitable, and the metaverse was inevitable.
“Inevitable” is just tech bro and VC speak for “I sunk way too much money into this shiny new thing that doesn’t really work please bail me out”

To be against genocide is to be against genocide.
To back (or blithely permit) genocide of another in hopes it will prevent different genocides is to commit to genocide happening and gamble the bottomless pit somehow fills up before your turn.

Hey San Franciscans, I noticed there are a lot of right wing voter guides going around this year masquerading as Democratic voter guides. If you don't plan to vote like a RW billionaire or one of their lackeys, here's a useful guide from the League of Pissed Off Voters.
