" These men desperately, for reasons they can’t quite articulate, want to use racial slurs, and they want to use these hurtful, loaded terms without losing their jobs and their friends and their wives and kids. They want their racist cake and they want to eat it too."

In the moment, people tend to blame people for taking actions that antagonize violent and genocidal governments and bring down repression. In retrospect, however, those actions are easily understood as morally justifiable, even if they aren't necessarily strategic.

Tbh It's actually okay to suck at stuff you enjoy doing. You don't have to gear into competition or be the absolute best. Existing and having fun is just as worthwhile. You don't have to make money off it. You don't have to get published. You can literally just create it, fail, learn, and make more

Big and small.
Never forget where you came from.

Support smaller communities whenever you can.
There is no competition.

If you don't support smaller creators because you are afraid of them, or see them as competition, you're a loser. ✌️

It's really hard to overstate how hugely favored conservatives were up until two months ago.

Here's the graph of Canadian polling between March 2023 and March 2025. (Reminder: blue is conservative.)

Those are months and months of 20+ point leads for Tories.

Hey Canada,

Lawyers are recommending you leave your main mobile phone at home and buy a burner phone if you need to travel to the US.

THIS MEANS YOU SHOULD NOT BE TRAVELLING TO THE U.S.!!!!

The response was entirely positive, so let the Nazi Punch of the Day begin. It seems appropriate to start with a classic. This is from Captain America Comics #1. The cover date was March 1941, but from what I've read, it was on the shelves several months earlier.

Please, please archive your work. Please. I’ve recently been saving lots of my essays as pdfs just so the Internet doesn’t suddenly delete them all (this happened to a whole load of blogs I wrote for The Independent years ago). I don’t want you to wake up and suddenly find your work gone like I did.

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

People often ask me why I’m outspoken about trans rights. I’m not trans so “why do you care?”

I care because what the government is doing to trans people is wrong. I care because we are being conditioned to accept atrocities. 🧵

but in all seriousness, calling sign language 'wild gesticulation' is a big part of why deaf people are so much more likely to be killed by cops. maybe if we all had more exposure to deaf people and deaf culture it wouldn't be so confusing for them to see someone communicating that way!
