Bluesky, I need your help. Or rather, my friend Makgosi does. She's trying not to get evicted from her place - as a wheelchair-user, accessible accommodation is so difficult to find - and is in a huge pickle this month. If you've got anything to spare, her PayPal is mletimile@gmail.com ❤️

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I love the South African Constitution.
Love this! "The ruling comes after two Free State women and their husbands challenged the constitutionality of the act and won in the lower court. They then decided to take the matter to the apex court, saying the act is, among other things, archaic and patriarchal." #SouthAfrica
Husbands can now legally take wives' surnames

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

Crying ‘antisemitism’ at UCT a smokescreen to suppress criticism of Israel
Inconsistent definitions and selective reporting on anti-Jewish sentiment by the board of deputies and David Saks obfuscate the real war going on at the university

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.
