Burdekin abandoned pacifism in 1938 out of the conviction that fascism had to be fought

A screenshot of a post that says "How I Defeated Fascism With the Power of Love by Dimitri Chapter 1: The Power of Love The first step in my journey was realizing that it is impossible to defeat fascism with the power of love. Chapter 2: The Power of Incredible Violence"

Looks like only a pacifist to a point – once again providing historical precedent for the "How I defeated Fascism with the power of love" meme

Mercer Island is trying to cram all of the density that it's being required to allow under state law within its small Town Center to the south of I-90, and Councilmembers are complaining about "abrupt urban edges."

It's never going to work unless they have a confusingly sexy smoke monster doing a snappy jazz number

Two men in fatigues with their hands ziptied being arrested by Capitol Police

Dozens of people in fatigues lined up in the Capitol Rotunda with signage demanding an end to the Iran War

Car Free Pike Place™️ is for (gay) lovers

I've never wanted to learn how to knit until I saw the slutty Aran sweater crop top from the space Irish episode of TNG

Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!!

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Tree "Action" Seattle is so full of BS

The person on hunger strike is on his 6th day. Everything indicates that reprisals against him continue. Today we can't communicate because they don't give him access to a tablet or phone.

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

The shitty part about this is that even if you manage to remove yourself from all these databases, they'll just overlook you for the person who hasn't managed to do so since they're focused on paying the least.

Collective action + regulation is the only way

It's not real childhood trauma unless it's from the Don Bluth region, otherwise it's just sparkling childhood trauma

I was 40 yrs old when I finally learned how to actually see a magic eye poster

There are 3 axes to explain Tree Action Seattle. 1) Individualism vs collectivism - they are extreme individualists who hate the commons & love hoarded nature on their own private property only. 2) Malthusian vs anti-Malthusian - they think ppl (esp poorer folks) are bad for the environment & equate

Had a decent time at Sakura-Con despite being tired

Most of Share The Cities volunteers hopped over to HON and they all really need funds right now for helping to rezone Seattle! Social Housing folks want upzones! Donate to help them educate and organize — today!

Give 50 bucks to honor Laura (STC founder) who is turning 50 this weekend!

Seattle needs more public bathrooms.

Would you support the City of Seattle or King County paying big box stores to keep their bathrooms fully open to anyone and be placed on a public bathroom map?

a blue Chicago recycling bin with two arms, a pair of eyes, and a name tag which reads “Loop” the top of the bin is slightly open, making him appear as though he’s smiling, friendly, and approachable

Chicago Streets and San are celebrating Earth Month with the introduction of Loop and I am immediately enamored with him

We're all official members of the Dyson hater club now

I don't understand the hype outside a small handful of things they make

Wish my partner wasn't obsessed with Dyson products, I genuinely hate using most of them.

He has this mop thing and when it's my turn to mop it makes me feel insane. It takes longer to clean it after than to clean the floor itself, it's fiddly and parts of it fall off. I'd rather use a manual mop 😤

So data centres are literally Hexxus from Ferngully – just way less sexy and without a charming jazz number and doing actual harm to the environment

Honestly good for him

“Trans sports bans are not intended to be some kind of concession or compromise position. Rather, they are a stepping stone toward further bans and restrictions. This is why trans people almost unanimously oppose them. And it’s why you should to.”

This is the 2 Line, to Lynnwood City Center.

Ah at least they issued a correction

I take the 28X regularly and it drops me off right in front of Pike Place.

Unless they mean a bus from Ballard to Capitol Hill or First Hill? In which case no, there isn't a direct bus. 🤔

This is my bio on growlr tbh

Thread. I'm begging people to realize how much we've already given in just the past 25 years. I'm old enough to remember when surveillance wasn't ubiquitous and before ICE or the TSA existed. There was even a time when the average cop wasn't kitted out for full on urban warfare.
