I said I’m more of a lurker than a poster. Clearly I lied. Follow if you want, I guess? MAGAts, trolls, evangelicals, and ads/promo accounts get blocked immediately.
Pinned
Lesson learned: don’t judge a poster by their username alone; always look at the profile and post history.

The evangelicals can fuck right off, though.

Posting this again. There are special elections in Virginia right now that need your help. Starting in February there are local and statewide elections in at least 31 states including Supreme Court justices in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Virginia and New Jersey have statewides. Let's go!

Inspiration!
Move me brightly
Light the song
with sense and color,
Hold away despair
More than this I will not ask
Faced with mysteries dark and vast
Statements just seem vain at last
Some rise, some fall, some climb
To get to Terrapin

A Senate probe found Amazon manipulated injury data to make warehouses appear safer.

It's twice as high as other warehouse jobs.

But sure. Tell me Amazon warehouse workers don't need a union. #UnionsForAll

Society has reached the tipping point on inequities. Especially those leaving the masses to suffer and die.

The deportation of citizens has already begun. I feel sick thinking about that mom with newborn twins and two more little kids being dropped in a city they don’t know. They must have been so scared.

Kirsten Gillibrand and feminist legal activists say the ERA could offer a new avenue to potentially restore a federal right to abortion. And while direct action from Biden to ratify it would obviously face legal challenges, there's nothing to lose:

The Biden administration is reportedly ghosting Gillibrand and Senate Democrats over the Equal Rights Amendment, which could offer a new path to restore abortion rights.

It's pretty clear the far right radfems and their fellow travelers worked hard to try and disprove alleged ties between the shooter and "femcel" terf users like radfem Hitler.

this girl was too young to navigate the plane on her own, but her dad assumed we'd figure it out so he could take a nap and read his newspaper and chat with his other seat mate.

i'm exhausted of picking up the slack for men--and them assuming i will. *women are not your built-in babysitters* fin/

Some weeks ago, a person I work with had to take short term disability due to a medical emergency. They’re still struggling but had to come back for 20 hours per week after a call went out asking for PTO donations. (1/4)
