"We don't want to be Luddites --" brother, Luddites were opposed to bosses concentrating wealth by using technology to make inferior product with warehouses fulls of starving exploited child labor. You don't have to wear the team jersey but respect the game.

I know it's too much to read the words that many of us write, but what we are actually mad about are systems that force people into car dependency and policy choices that mean living somewhere walkable and bikeable with robust public transit is ridiculously expensive. We want to fix this!

I will NEVER vote for a politician who votes for anti-trans legislation. Never. I don't care who it is, it's a dead issue. Move on. If my vote is so important to the future of democracy they should have thought of that before they voted to exterminate my child.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups.

Hi @warren.senate.gov just to be crystal clear I never wanna see you at Boston Pride again prancing around in a feather boa.
By cosponsoring #KOSA you are actively helping the Trump admin take away lifesaving resources from LGBTQ youth.
We asked you to meet with our coalition. You ignored us.

Trial by combat should be an option in academia. We should be able to present a tenure packet and challenge the decisions of the provost/dean in a trial by combat.
We should be able to challenge the provost to combat if they "can't see the pedagogical merit" of a course.

"Everbright On Dark Days" Female Northern Cardinal, 10"x8" Oil on panel
The days are dark and short, and my mood seems to follow. But sometimes a thin ray of sun cuts through for a moment, and lights up the things I love, reminding me of how wonderful and beautiful they are, and it keeps me going

A fun exercise is driving the speed limit in a school zone during dropoff/pickup times and seeing how mad the other parents get.

anyone who has paid attention to the abuse aimed at Greta Thunberg knows that young people are not entitled even to form to their own convictions, much less to having those convictions accorded any weight, about matters that affect the future they are going to live through.

When I say Spotify is Surveillance, I don’t just mean it’s creepy that they are tracking what music you listen to and using that data to serve ads.
I mean your Spotify data is deeply intimate and can be used to glean information about you like your daily habits, your moods, and more.
