You cannot go about your life thinking about ways to avoid making fascists angry. You will not succeed, and you will not be free.

Everyone will not just. 1) took some time for me to grasp 2) important for social pragmatics and 3) boy, is it ever annoying 😑

[Everyone will not just
If your solution to some problem relies on "If everyone would just..." then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At no time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they're not going to start now.

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

Did you ever see Invader Zim? Zim wants to prove that he's human, so he begins stealing organs and cramming them in his body to trick the school nurse. She praises him near the end: "He's a very healthy boy! So full of organs!" And basically, I want that. But for vaccines. My measles titer was good!

Hands down, the best and most unsettling annotation I've ever found in a used book came this week from Thomas Moore's "Care of the Soul": the front inside cover was filled with aphorisms like "I can do hard things" and the back cover just had this www.thechatner.com/p/the-most-u...

A nightmare
Hell
Show me hell
and give me
a nightmare

honestly show and give
it to me forever

It’s state sponsored rape and murder of a disenfranchised demographic of its own people. That, folks, is a key component of fascism.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Conservative billionaires are funding a coordinated effort to dismantle public education to pay for private school vouchers that largely benefit wealthy families and enable corporations to avoid their fair share in taxes. Now they have a friend in the White House.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

When I was 11, I used to offer to buy other kids' souls for spare coins. I bought 3 or 4 on the bus one afternoon, and a mom got SUPER upset, and they made their son give me back the 50¢ to have his soul back. I mean, sure. Have it at cost. Sorry you're in trouble. I was deeply weird, I guess.

People getting super into handcrafts and geeking out about process is soooooooooothing. I don't want to do the crafts, but just, like, enjoy the co-regulation. I love Bernadette Banner videos to calm down. Even more than pimple extraction videos, and that's saying something. youtu.be/MRkDtGu0ryQ?...

I'm exhausted and this feels like the best option for #FossilFriday this week. This is coprolite. What is coprolite, you ask? It's fossilized feces. It's mineralized, doesn't smell. It's important for science to find pollen or pieces of bone. Also proves you can polish a turd.

We need to start pushing back. The idea of neurodiversity is about taking MORE responsibility for how our neuro traits interact with the world, not to deflect or obviate responsibility.
