She’s a serious candidate; at this point I think most people dismissing her seriousness are at least partially motivated by misogyny; and this is a clearer articulation of a progressive foreign policy than I’ve seen anyone else running for office make
Since #Meta was hit by workers' rights lawsuits in #Kenya, it moved it outsourcing operation to a secret new location.
We found them, in Ghana, where conditions appear to be even worse than those documented in Kenya.

How big is the story content in Watchtower? I'd assumed this was mostly story based, but there also seems to be a lot of new mechanics and systems!
Absolutely true.
Is Seven Soldiers Ystin trans? It seems unclear. Demon Knights Ystin is intersex, but I'm not sure they're actually the same Ystin, because there are multiple Camelots in-world and repeating archetypes.
there is such an insane amount of money and clout to be made by any Democratic elected leader willing to get arrested and given a show sentence by Trump right now. if someone like Pritzker spent a couple months in jail they'd raise enough to run for president in t-shirt sales alone
If you've, at any point, said you support trans people and our right to exist, great, now is when you put your money where your damn mouth it.
Support our fundraisers. Give us jobs. Hire trans writers. Trans artists. Defend us when we're attacked. It's not hypothetical anymore, don't be a coward.
Whenever you see one of these stories you learn: it was acquired by private equity, it took on debt to pay the new owners dividends, it raised prices to pay off the debt. Every time.
defining the US “working class” as “white men who drive pickup trucks” creates remarkable tunnel vision
the working class in the US is majority female, racially minoritized, and disproportionately made up of immigrants
retail and service jobs are the core of the working class
but not the “vibe”
My music isn't important right now, only Ciri's luscious, thicc, dark eyebrows are important! Should I make this petition my pinned skeet? lol

what a lovely video 🥰🥰🥰 (it's nice cos it's like 15 minutes of a guy really liking rollerdrome 👍👍👍) youtu.be/l1DCpCT5pbE
one of my iron clad beliefs is that there are very few actual “schemes” in the world. instead, there are just a lot of stupid, venal people and quite a few of them hold positions of real power and authority
Lots of folks share Alex Norris's "oh no" comics with their name cropped out and no credit to them anywhere. It would be nice to throw a few bucks their way to fight this predatory situation.
this tradwife cleangirl shit is like the logical conclusion that greige enshittification was always going to wind up at.
colour, uniqueness, character, are "used" and unclean. nondescript plastic-wrapped genericness means wider appeal, and therefore retail value. They're the McMansions of people
low key the most egregious condescension is this idea that conservatives do not have agency and are not making choices but are purely reactive and have no mind of their own
You're always responsible if you had the opportunity to save those lives.
Did nobody watch Spider-Man??
Creating a starter pack of people I think would be most likely to succumb to the madness and ruin their life with posts if they had more followers
a graphic showing a linear relationship between emissions of co2 and the warming of earth, projected out also into various scenarios
"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm
This isn't some saccharine 'hopeful' message: it's the hard, inarguable physical reality.

Madine had to do it to 'em
i feel obligated to point out that this is from the movie, not the book, and it's directly counter to tolkien's ethos.
in tolkien's worldview, great acts of heroism are needed. you must fight. but that strength can come from anywhere. small people can hold the darkness back, but not small acts.
Happy 20th birthday Half Life 2
A comic panel from Watchmen, showing a partially muscled skeleton (Dr Manhattan). Text reads: “November 14th: a partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing…”
Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those that celebrate.
on the other hand, i went to a HUGE school and while there were absolutely cliques, they were super blurry and people crossed between them without issues.
Me looking for people to follow here
A four panel screencap from ANDOR PANEL 1: Karis saying, "So much going wrong, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly." PANEL 2: Cassian looking on as Karis continues, "The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it." PANEL 3: Karis, continuing, "And that is the real trick of the imperial thought machine." PANEL 4: Karis, finishing, "It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident."
i know it's cringe to post star wars as ~revolution~ or whatever, & that's not what this is, but I do think about this sequence from Andor a lot bc I know how paralyzing it is to feel overwhelmed. So, I'll continue working in the lanes where I feel the most needed/helpful.
The hot new fall drink is a big mug of hot garlic butter.
All the cool people are slurping garlic butter as a beverage
Historically, NSFW creators and SWs are always the foundational users of any new social site, and historically, they're the first ones to get hidden/forced off once corporations start sniffin' around looking to make money. Use your dang moderation settings if NSFW bothers you and let folks be
the important thing to remember is that I am very very stupid
i'm ngl i've known you for years and this is the very first time i have considered the possibility that your name was short for ANYTHING, much less eleanor
hugely important. queer people have an absolute right to do their own safety calculus and being “out and proud” is a privilege not everyone has. please don’t ask queer/trans folks to try and change hearts and minds by outing themselves to the Trumpers around them. let’s just keep them alive and safe
