It’s so funny that they pubbed this the day before “john roberts invented the trump era shadow docket to make sure fossil fuel companies could keep killing you and make money doing it” bsky.app/profile/cris...
100% if my 9yo understands so can you
and the poor white people who did most of the actual oppressing *did* believe the lie plantation owners were better than them. & believed the lie the enslaved people they tortured were worse.
The lie that the rich are better than the rest of us & that immigrants are worse echoes / is this
Dems, if the opportunity ever presents itself: "It's just not the norm, so we have to endure two more years of fascism and corruption."
trumps appointees being alcoholic incompetents and trumps jan 6th supporters being pedophiles seems like something historians are going to be studying tbh
Adding to the DSM not my greatest thought. But I’m horrified thinking of all the therapists men who abuse their wives see, who don’t feel an obligation to root out the misogyny of their patients. It should be *treated* seriously both as a society and in the individual. How do we get there?
"Defunct startups are being liquidated for their Slack archives, Jira tickets, and email threads—operational exhaust that AI labs now treat as premium training data."
This is more broadly generalizable: If you don't do the research yourself, you have no idea if AI is making stuff up. And if you do the research yourself, then AI isn't saving you much labor, if any.
Oof totally. I’m currently horrified thinking of all the therapists men who abuse their wives see, who don’t feel an obligation to root out the misogyny of their patients. Misogyny should be treated seriously both as a society and in the individual.
Yes and… I’d love to see misogyny added to the DSM.
"Buffer zones"? WTF, NPR.
Israel illegally invading, blowing up people's homes and villages that were thousands of years old.
We are deciding right now if we are to be a nation of concentration camps and ethnic cleansing. And there is much citizens can do!
According to Mike, LA teachers will walk out tomorrow morning. UTLA (the teachers union) agreed to a deal a few days ago, but they said they would walk out if the other two unions representing support staff failed to reach an agreement. That's exactly what happened.
FRESH BABY
But there is just so much of it, and I'm tired. Because I write about this, I get told a lot of stuff in private, so I carry that too. I'm so tired of rapists. I'm so tired of rape culture. I'm so tired of the dehumanization of girls and women.
men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.
I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
To be nine again and making stop motion movies over spring break <3

I wonder if JD Vance regrets killing Pope Francis now that Pope Chicago is in charge
They oversaw a very important social media influence operation for the Kremlin, got caught, fled. And now they're not just back, they're guests at Donald & Melania Trump's Easter Egg Roll at the White House.
I don't know how I wasn't crying in joy. Today was a hell of a day for mental stability but omg what a way to end it 😭😭😭 🐣 🪶
Gritty as judge.
Actually do it in Independence Hall
Something I really appreciate about Andrea's writing is that every blog includes some actionable way to fight back, such as supporting organizations like @immigrantjustice.bsky.social. It's important to know what we are facing, but also how we can resist.
We have an Iranian friend in Tehran who has devoted his career to translating Thoreau for an Iranian readership. Starting with 'Walden,' through Thoreau's anti-slavery works and essays on civil disobedience, the lot.
We have not heard anything from him since the bombardment began.
This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.
The president is clearly threatening multiple nuclear strikes. I don't see why we're not discussing impeachment proceedings or, in lieu of that, military activity intended to prevent such an attack.
I'm generally of the opinion that we believe people when they tell us, then act accordingly.
