F) For the love of all that is good and holy stop wondering if your idea is any good! That way lies madness. Your idea, whatever it is, will live or die by its execution. Commit to your idea. Eat and drink your idea. Play with it, have fun with it.

It feels incredibly bad watching how quickly social media jumps to threats of doxxing or physical harm when there's someone else on the internet with a slightly different perspective than their own. Or the same perspective worded differently! *Especially* when the target is already marginalized.

Victim-blaming rhetoric works against victims of sexual assault by imagining that they were really at fault for the offender’s violence. It works against victims of food insecurity by imagining they are at fault for the wealthy’s refusal to distribute resources fairly.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

When you start critiquing the behavior of the oppressed in service of appeasing their oppressor, you have already surrendered power to the oppressor to set the boundaries of what behavior is acceptable

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

I finally read Wild Faith earlier this week, and I can't recommend it enough. So many details I was vaguely aware of, but to see it all laid out and connected to exactly what's happening now is immensely powerful. It puts it all into much-needed context.
that book is here, it's about how unfathomably fucking evil these people are and how much power they have, came out a few months ago and still has zing bookshop.org/p/books/wild...

The photos of gleeful, hateful bigots are really something. Imagine what kind of absolute loser you'd have to be to invest any part of yourself in destroying the rights of some of your fellow humans, let alone your entire identity.

Fuck terfs. Trans women are women.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

A lot of people are explaining what Trump can and cannot do, based on the law and Constitution. The reality of the situation is that we're about to find out what legal walls and safeguards will hold and which will crumble. Right now, we don't fucking know.
