Haha hey did you know we are all living with a high level of anxiety and worry about the future and instability and that could be what's making you tired, sad, moody, spacey, and/or forgetful? In case you need some normalization today, plus a reminder that yes you're resilient but you have needs

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance.
Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Oh please please i am begging, don't use generative AI for any reason if you can avoid it.
It's being marketed as a quick time-saver, but it's messy, inaccurate, it is putting entire industries of people out of work, and the environmental impacts (energy and water usage) are huge and debilitating.

Okay, pals.
Time for action this month.
We're going to do that by funding classrooms that are specifically seeking out Black history books. These classrooms are those that are in historically underfunded communities.
These asks are from teachers whose students benefit directly.

Questions to ask yourself:
1. Who can you turn to in your community to do the work?
2. Which orgs are you supporting?
3. Which issues will you be focusing on? (You don't need to focus on all of them?)
4. What are your news sources? How do you get the news in a way that's actionable BUT -

I like the part in “Shoop” by Salt ‘n Pepa where she says “I swear, I stared, my niece my witness” because most songs don’t even bother to include independent third party verification of their claims.

Maybe before making up just-so stories about why and how the left forced the Silicon Valley bros to go hard right, you could look up the bros' personal histories, their family histories, or the entire history of ultra-rich people in general

Ex-librarian here—I'd say encouraging your followers to put in requests for books with marginalized authors/MCs and check out those books both in person and online would be best. To get books and keep them on shelves in times of scrutiny like this, there has to be a quantifiable demand for them.
I'm not uniquely qualified for anything but as book bans will become stricter on stories of the marginalized in the coming years I want to ask librarians if there is anything I can personally do with my small platform to help out

resolved: people who insist that all social media sites must be places where users are constantly encountering and arguing with people over fundamental disagreement do so because their actual, real lives are echo chambers where they do not encounter any meaningful difference from day-to-day.

So, here's my blind dog (who may or may not be allergic to fucking GRASS) being real mad about having to wear toddler socks in order to go outside.
You're welcome.

The combo of a Christian Zionist for ambassador to Israel and a SecDef with a Deus Vult tattoo is not great and I would once again beg, simply fucking beg, the 21st century to stop making crusade studies relevant.
