Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.

“Yeah I hear you, taxes suck. It’s just, we’re not wealthy. And it’s cheaper to pay into a system that provides certain services than do everything on our own.”

No, it’s not a painting—these surreal skies are real! This is a rare ‘fire rainbow’ spotted over the Rocky Mountains, created when sunlight hits ice-crystal clouds at just the right angle. Seeing a fire rainbow requires extreme luck.
People say 'the work speaks for itself'. Maybe that's true for some things, but it is never true in organizing. You absolutely need to share the work, often and always. There are new people coming of age daily and also most organizing is not visible to most people.

“Make them get their own lawyers so we can have our libraries” needs BILLBOARDS who’s got cash?
We pay that much in lawsuits and settlements every year in NYC. Make them get their own lawyers so we can have our libraries.

Whenever someone asks me where the Mayor should get the $150 million more funds for NYC public libraries, the answer is the cops. Period.
13yo: I learned why communism failed. [tells me]
Me: [Deep existential sigh]
13yo: Is that wrong?
Me: [Checks traffic on Waze]. Okay. We’ve got some time. The first thing to understand is that communism has never been tried…

The older I get and the longer I parent I am seeing how much of this contempt is the mirror young people hold up for us—on so many different levels.
I’m late to this but wow, a must read. BRAVO @tinavasquez.bsky.social
Watching the astronaut press conference live from SPACE and so touched by the intelligence and lovingness and sincerity of these people 💚👨🚀
Felt this in my elder millennial white girl SOUL
All of us are dissociated and dissociating to make it through today. I hope you give yourself and others grace.
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
My husband—as well as our plural term—is def “like bro”
These alphas are a trip 😂
What do your tweens call you? I am currently “Like girl,”
losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice

No big deal just a solar eclipse as seen from the moon streamed to us here on Earth by astronauts who are farther away from their home planet than any human has ever been
If you haven’t gotten to watch it yet, please go to Instagram and watch @doula_cherise skillfully break down bodily autonomy for pregnant people. It’s a masterclass!
I hadn’t heard of the listings project, thank you!
NYers—what are the best sources for finding apts these days (besides knowing someone)?
it sounds like the good guys have the numbers on this one but, dude, Alito is so far gone. soooo far gone. brain fully melted, leaking out onto the dais, forming a puddle of racist Republican goo
And while I know that sounds like crazy pants bullshit to come up at a Supreme Court hearing... remeber that Alito watches Fox News all the time and is NO DIFFERENT than your racist uncle who does the same.
The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.
