You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

"cite your sources" is not just an externally-imposed mandate but a personal discipline on thought itself. "cite your sources" is how you keep yourself in contact with reality. "cite your sources" is how you keep yourself from shadowboxing your own imagination."

Pope Leo: “Creation is crying. But many powerful people do not hear this cry: the wealth of the earth is in the hands of a few, very few, increasingly concentrated – unjustly – in the hands of those who often do not want to hear the groaning of the earth and the poor.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

I love to be told that feminism has failed women by women whose careers and ability to flourish in public life, let alone have a credit card, only exist because of feminism

Great thread that puts me in mind of Donna Haraway's "Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Plantationocene, Chthulucene: Making Kin." We are in this together, including the bees :)
My friends, I don't want to rush to Mars or the moon to theoretically have the energy and materials to prop up extractive capitalism for another century or so.

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

I don't get posts about celebrating Trump's end. I'll be relieved & TEMPTED to celebrate, sure. He's neither a good man nor a good president. But he's a symptom of a broken system, not the system itself, & the one thing that systems needs to survive is hatred. I don't want to play the game that way.

I know it's not the point but it's deeply sad to reflect on Donald Trump's interior life - it seems godless to me, devoid of joy, incapable of connection - and I don't wish it on anyone.
Also it seems like there's some real degeneration going on and I wish somebody would get him.
