the same people telling you to be ashamed of celebrating anyone’s death are the ones that only offer thoughts and prayers when children get shot

my favorite thing about southern enbies is they often have strong opinions about being addressed as “ma’am”

my favorite person is a quadruple amputee that relies on disability support from the government. today was a hard day but when he heard me distressed over the phone - he told me to just download epic and play bloon TD 6 because it is free today. i’m still crying but i hope that helps someone else<3

disabled people are worth whatever cost or resources is needed to keep them alive. disabled people are worth it even if they don't live long. they're worth it even if they will need extra support and resources for every day of their life. they're worth it even if they spend all they life indoors. none of it is wasted. none of it is in vain. time, effort, money, resources spent on a life are not wasted. these things have served their purpose. the joy of someone's existence is not undermined by not lasting forever. there's no meaningful point, some threshold where you can say "okay this is enough. after that it's not worth it." it's always worth it.

The Democratic genocide in Gaza has conditioned this Trump moment. It made Dems permanently unelectable, and fully normalized police-state repression of dissent. There is nothing Trump is going to try on us that we haven’t already approved- on Palestinians. Imperial boomerang, incoming.

In 2016, we contacted the Atakapa-Ishak Tribal Council with a question - what do you call Houston? The answer was that the original name had been lost after generations of language suppression. The last fluent Ishakkoy speaker died in 1979. But in 2016, the tribe was in the midst of a (1/4)

Seeing people talk about the "DEI" orders but not much on the fact that they have added an A for "Accessibility" - ie, Disabled people. They are targeting disabled people too. And it looks like they are coming for the ADA.

Throwing sand in the gears of terrible machinery is also resisting.
Post on Bluesky from alyssaharad.bsky.social: "Listen, did you ever had a bad boss, a terrible person, at a job that you can't, for whatever reason, quit? Did you learn to delay, obfuscate, frustrate, and otherwise fuck up that person just to the line where you could keep your job? Congratulations, you have the tools to resist authoritarianism!"

There are only two types of political science professor right now: (1) those with a haunted look in their eyes, their voices sounding like they should really be speaking to a therapist instead of a classroom full of students right now. (2) absolute psychopaths.

To be clear, I don't particularly care that Elon Musk very clearly made Nazi salutes. We've just spent 15 months watching the US empire carry out a live-streamed genocide, and Elon Musk is one of the managers of that empire. Doing Nazi salutes just puts a wrapper on the product.

It’s weird. It feels like just a second ago everything to Zionists was “antisemitic.” All across the world. And governments were painting everyone as antisemites saying “we got a real antisemitism problem here.” But now all of a sudden zionists don’t see a fascist salute as antisemitic.
A man wearing a hoodie with a watermelon is “antisemitic.” 
Bit a billionaire doing a fash salute isn’t antisemitic.

It's only a Nazi salute if it's performed at a rally in Germany in 1930-40sth; otherwise, it's just a sparkling white supremacist on drugs salute.

I've gone from "Wikipedia is not a real source, students" to "I will defend Wikipedia with my life" in a short span of time. I don't know what we should do, I'll be looking to others for guidance on that, but I do know we have to defend every remotely democratic or open source tool we have now.
