God, I'm tired of having to chase nutjobs from platform to platform to get them kicked off. Being a woman on the internet can be fucking exhausting.

We'll see how long this can continue if energy prices remain elevated, but the Y/Y growth rate in Indeed job postings is gradually converging to zero (And to the degree that you think the seasonal adjustment is correct, we may have already bottomed - but we've seen headfakes)

I just started the audiobook for @chuckwendig.bsky.social's "Staircase in the Woods," and there's a discussion of this kind of non-supporter supporter and how, in a way, they're worse. Because they never openly claimed it, they were always "just asking questions" and helped the extremism weasel in.

a lot of the problems with this administration come down to the fact that the people in charge seem to believe we are living inside an action movie

Dudes, dolls, guys, help me report this menace. He's been threatening, harassing women on various platforms AND doxxing them. Actual police reports about him have been filed over this now. He bragged that he could live stream a 💀 and get off scot free because of "insanity". Acct in comment.

The reality is this isn’t politics or governing anymore. These are gangsters who manipulated a system and are now operating on fully systemic corruption. They’ve made it very clear that they intend to ignore or corrupt any system of accountability. That’s the basis we have to resist from.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

1000% this. Public libraries are actually pretty radical--free to all, and based on the idea that info should be available to all. Get a library card! Use your library! Those numbers often play into their funding.

Gentle reminder that almost every company uses AWS (Amazon Web Services) in some capacity. There is absolutely no way to fully sever yourself from enriching billionaires. They did this on purpose. Do not bemoan the fact that the game is rigged or lament every purchase you make. Just do your best.

When you are this deliberately argumentative and pedantic when you know exactly what a collective “we” represents I context you sound just like the “not all men” people and I yeet you out the airlock.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

What the bishop did yesterday wasn’t just confront a man we all know doesn’t care and won’t change a thing. She made sure the people who feel insane witnessing all of this right now felt seen and cared for instead. And did it in the middle of his “moment”. That stuff matters in all of this.

One thing I’ll say: We are all hurting. Hurt people hurt people and the temptation to clap back, be snarky and mean, to lash out in anger at strangers online will be stronger than ever. One of the best things we can do is refuse to do their work for them and mindlessly go after each other.

Can I just say how much of a relief it is to start reading journalism again that actually says this stuff out loud instead of gaslighting and capitulating? The Contrarian off to a ripping start. 🔥

Watching Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth demonstrate his appalling lack of credentials, knowledge, and character for the job for which he was nominated I am compelled to ask: Is the Trump administration running a DEI program for incompetent, unqualified, and/or ethically compromised Whites?

They’re also perfectly content to move the goal posts and if a fact disputes their worldview, they make it a conspiracy instead. You can’t win anti-intellectual arguments with intellect. Making hateful and willfully ignorant people social pariahs is the only way.
