the court ruling in favor of Drug Users Liberation Front in BC today declares a clear violation of human liberties created by the inconsistent moralism scribed into law by the carceral legislation of drug addiction. An astoundingly clear ruling on the intersectional materiality of human rights:

Honestly, something that would immediately improve things for higher ed workers is if somebody started a dedicated news outlet reporting on higher education from a labor perspective. Or if a major paper assigned even just one reporter to focus on higher education labor issues.

One day I'd like to try and do an Open Collective for import / export. Like, just setup the global organizational infrastructure to facilitate that on behalf of any local grassroots group. Fund it with a cost+ model and let donors sponsor specific shipments.

I think ironically, and perhaps a tad optimistically, we are going to go back to seeking out knowledge and experience from our communities and our elders because the internet as it is now has made it near impossible to find real info.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

States can and have banned 287 agreements within their borders. There’s a template for this, and any state that hasn’t done so is choosing not to do so.

i was on my college conduct board. i do t think anyone can get mad at me for telling you: 20 years ago, a student threatened his female friend, took her by the shoulders, and shook her. you know what we did? we expelled him. that was "all" it took. he laid hands on a girl, so we kicked him out.

Excellent news to see that the Dutch ban on importing goods from the illegally occupied West Bank and Golan Heights also applies to "private passengers who are bringing in products as souvenirs or gifts."

One of the big tricks is a sex party/orgy seems like a place where you go and hookup with a bunch of randos but its actually a place you go and smoke a joint w people you basically already know from a distance, then have scheduled and preplanned scenes with people you are already fucking

It's funny because if I get my covid protocols really wrong there's solid odds I end up dead or debilitated (thanks, genetic condition!) but even far too many radical spaces are really shitty about the very topic. Then they wonder why their support networks crumble and "everyone's sick all the time"

I want to make another point here, that I think Faine does an excellent job of highlighting: there isn't anything particularly wrong with putting on sex parties with consenting adults A big issue here is that women are being pressured to attend in order to network *professionally*

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

We’re at the “shipping container courts” stage of ICE’s mass expansion of the enforcement system.

Each detention unit would sit on asphalt or concrete behind an office's existing security fence, with a counter for processing people and a separate holding area fitted with a toilet and sink for detainees according to the draft work statement.
The agency also wants a 300-square-foot unit for interviewing people in custody and a 60-square-foot "Virtual Immigration Court Unit" for hearings run by the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency that operates the immigration courts.
Both must also be designed for their purpose before delivery.

Once again asking Bluesky developers and mods to please for the love of all that is good to make it a site policy violation to run unannounced bots that interact with users and to provide a user control setting to preemptively block interactions from announced bots. This is a scourge on the site.

New Hampshire has an extremist group ^^^ called the free staters. They're recruiting armed fruitcakes from around the country to move there and infiltrating local elections under a libertarian banner but they're far righters who hate taxes. This is why you need to vote in local elections.

dawg if you're gawking at a news article about a blowup at a queer bar over a policy change, all you're telling me is that you don't do any organizing. cause when you actually try to organize resources for your community this stuff happens all the time. It's simply not an interesting story

Queer communities are actually pretty much the only spaces that still give a fuck about the health of the disabled and chronically ill. They’re certainly the only place I’ve found continuing support (and I’m not even queer!). We should be celebrating and emulating that acceptance.
