At my bookstore job I wanted to give some options for folks who are scared right now. Trying to get stuff that covers mutual aid, anti racism, abortion, climate change, queer and trans history, immigration rights, abolishing police/prisons, or anything else Project 2025 fucking hates 📚🙏

"The dog that didn't bark" is a phrase from a Sherlock Holmes story that means the absence of evidence can be a clue to solving a mystery. The dog's silence indicated that the thief was someone the dog knew, not a stranger. Meaning: what is not said, seen, or done, can be as revealing as what is.

I’ve lost 50 lbs in the past 6 months. It feels weird to get congratulations from folks, especially the nurses who take my vitals for exams. Bc my reply is a genuine one of “it’s because our ETB money got cut form $300/m to $90/m for two people”. Idk how to cushion your feelings 😭

My roommate kept asking me “who played Troy Bolton” and after the third time, in exasperation, added “from Castlevania!”

I could not contain myself as I laughed at him “you mean Trevor Belmont????

I’ve never known community until I met my coworker. She, an immigrant + busy mom, brings me food every week because she heard my SNAP got cut. She scolds me for saying “thank you” too much to her. She expects nothing in return. I keep myself going because she nourished me. That’s how I repay her.

Bro the Bee Movie is about antisemitism. I’ve watched it like a thousand times and I feel stupid for not realizing that until my 1,001th (jk) watch rn.

I quit Duolingo and am trying AirLearn. It feels basically the same, but they DO have a little more explanations for grammar.
But the art… it looks like AI and idk if that’s just my untrained eyes or actually what’s going on.

“Trans people are mean to me in the replies.”

The people in power are trying to kill us. Do you understand? We do not have time for nice. We do not have time for whatever compromise you have in mind. If you don’t know well enough by now, why should I believe you hold anything but malice towards us?

If we had any kind of functioning regulatory system this is why there would be no spacex etc.
"These satellites are mostly made of aluminum, which turns into aluminum oxide when burned at high temperatures..This aluminum ash accumulating at high altitudes worries scientists because of its potential to damage Earth's protective ozone layer & alter its albedo"

How much do SpaceX's reentering Starlink satellites pollute Earth's atmosphere?

Heart Eyes was trash and pretty anti-kink while promoting heteronormative sex values. Plus, palm trees in Seattle 😭

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles 🚀

Biden’s legacy - and that of everyone who worked for him - will always be defined by his support for what Israel did to Gaza. They can and will try to distance themselves but can’t.

I (boldly) said “I’m going to make an edit for Corio Snow to Circus by Brittney Spears. Tell me it doesn’t fit him.”

My partner replied “It fits but then I’d have to bludgeon you to death”
