We’ve been hearing for 20 years plus how we should just sit down and have a meal with people who think black, Latino and LGBTQ people are subhumans who must be killed. No.

To get out of this worsening crisis it's really going to have to start with a pretty simple but surprisingly difficult thing: seeing through the performance and framing and just realize the tech oligarchs are really, really fucking stupid.

Trauma clinician here. Even if those kids are released tomorrow they will never be fully released from the trauma of their incarceration. They may leave Dilley, but they will never completely leave Dilley behind them. The impact is forever. That is what our government chooses to do to children.

Went on a 20 mile bike ride through Taipei's riverside park system this weekend. Stopped near a temple for a rest and saw a flowering plant surrounded by mesmerizing hummingbird hawk-moths. I watched this with a sense of childlike wonder, grown adult awe and a sort of reverence.

Fun story for everyone. I grew up a Jehovah's Witness. When this song was popular we were forbidden from listening to it because the religion said it was Native American religious chants. Decades later I got married and moved to Taiwan. Friends, the chant in this song is a Taiwanese drinking song

This isn't a frame journalists have to accept. The cost of a service provided by the government isn't a profit loss. It's a choice to allow elected officials and the people they appoint to abdicate responsibility for maintaining a core function of the government by claiming its's something it's not.

You ever have anxiety so bad that it surpasses 'anxiety' or even panic and becomes a weight of dread in your abdomen with fizzy terror in your extremities?? I call it 'the horrors' and I'm experiencing it right now. Anyone have a scary movie recommendation??? Sometimes that helps...

On a serious note, it's true though. Take it from someone who lived in fight or flight for decades. Your body needs the calories! It wasn't until I had a life changing experience that I stopped being in fight or flight all the time and the reduction in hunger was extreme. bsky.app/profile/nika...

Making it a priority directive to scrub the mere *mention of women in leadership & indigenous people is wild + gives the game away again They were never concerned about ~meritocracy or some ~reverse discrimination bullshit but the presence, the *existence of people other than cis straight white men

This is a false dichotomy. It’s important we say “We understand and we welcome you to complete the work necessary to reconcile, with the safety and protection of the people you targeted at the fore front “

Seeing a blatant fascist dismantling and takeover of the government and using it as an opportunity to mostly complain about the left or throw trans people under the bus means you're helping them. No other way to slice it.

You are likely seeing lots of "wow, I didn't know America was indoctrinating me / China is amazing!" posts flitting through social media today in the wake of the TikTok ban (and legal defiance of that ban). That's China, signal boosting its shit, in exactly the way Congress said they were doing.

“Some of the aid that children in Gaza need is not aid that we can bring in on trucks. Every single child in Gaza today is deeply, deeply scarred and traumatised by what they’ve witnessed,” Bollen said. “They’ve gone through things that no child should ever have to witness,” she said.

How many times have we been warned not to put undocumented people at risk with careless disclosures, not to use apps collecting reproductive health info or 23AndMe. Are people so eager to believe in a trustworthy state they can't imagine how a Chinese state app might endanger a diaspora community?

Look, I know it's difficult, but could we PLEASE learn to criticize the US without claiming that other authoritarian countries are somehow better?? Living in Taiwan it's really worrying to watch the discourse re: China right now. The CCP are NOT better, or more humanitarian as a gov't. Both suck.

I have to thank @kendrawrites.com for getting me to watch "The Expanse". Not only is it a great show, it's satisfying to finally have a character (Amos) who just shoots the bad guy right off the bat rather than giving them ample opportunities to escape. Gonna have to watch it again soon.

I remain convinced that if you resort to convenient bigotry to win votes, the people whose votes you gained will eventually vote for a more sincere bigot, while the people you abandoned will never trust you again.

Related: "we need male role models on the left". Trans men and drag queens are often great role models. Oh, you meant a reproduction of patriarchal machismo with a thin veneer of socialist paint and malewashing of the working-class? That's wrecker shit, actually.

Your reminder that if your concern with trans women is that men might claim to self-ID as trans, to gain access to women's spaces and assault them, then your problem is actually with predatory men and not trans women.

You cannot and should not ever “meet people halfway” when it comes to your rights and/or your existence as a person. You will either be accepted as a human being who is different from them or they can fuck off.

I would love someone to do a documentary on Idiocracy: what the filmmakers think about it now, how each scene can be tied to a real news event, and how each character represents a different trope in “American” culture.

You have 38 days till Trump is President. You will start to see more movies, TV shows, podcasts, etc that are sympathetic to fascism even if they don't openly support it. You'll need people with you to condemn this and push back against it.

I am so sad and upset over something seemingly small. My favorite mobile game changed how currency is earned and increased the price of decos. Now it's impossible to earn enough to get more than one deco per month. I used this game to self regulate and keep track of time, now it's useless to me :(

I actually think that it’s very, very important that now that we have completely heard the nonsense concerns of the Trump voter and seen the effects of their vile intentions that we reject them utterly and build a compassionate sustainable world without seeking their permission or assistance.

So many in media continue to fail to acknowledge the entrenched white supremacy of the current social order. It's apparent in the election results. It's apparent in the continued courting of "moderate Republicans" by the Democrats.
