It is easier to criticize and distance than build. What are you building? In real life. And not just personal relationships. If you are able to leave your home, your leftism means nothing if it entirely consists of posting on the internet. It means nothing if it consists entirely of "right belief"

From the makers of "calling out racism is the real racism" comes "not wanting to give money to fascists is the real facism!"

I think a lot of those people would consider themselves leftists rather than progressives, including me. Progressive has always meant incremental progress & reform to me, which is meant to work w/in liberalism for the most part. (But also liberalism requires leftists to help move the Overton window)

I guess the question that raises is what is a "progressive movement." TGLF was progressive in the sense that it was trying to achieve progress but in my experience "progressive movements" genrly refers to movements that ultimately operate within liberalism to expand rights.But maybe splitting hairs?

Not a single progressive movement has ever "gone too far".

it's always odd when "you should expose yourself to more diverse ideas" always means a certain kind of conservatism instead of like, Indigenous art, new fusion foods, math paradoxes, or the Dvorak keyboard layout

Either a people-displeaser or a isolated-displeaser, depends on if you're reflecting across one axis or both

I'm from (and live in NC) and can confirm about the pines. (& I have an interest in taxonomy & I have figured out not to trust common names for crap when it comes to botany & even much of their taxonomy is still broken. Animals are in better shape mostly. DNA really threw a wrench in Linneas' plans)

People who don't know or consider the origins of words (most word users) will change language in ways that make things more self-explanatory to them. Sometimes it introduces unnecessary ambiguity (checkin rather than check-in might be checking without the "g"), but often it's harmless or even useful

Emerson @em-agical.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
The issue is more that given multiple definitions of the word "cone", of which seed cone is a minor player, it decreases confusion to call pinecones (the most commonly recognized seed cones at least where I'm from) as such. I'm sure many people aren't aware there are other species with seed cones

“What a beautiful universe, hon" says a telescope as gazes upon an aurora borealis. “It really is”, responds the telescope's partner, who it turns out is not a telescope, but a microscope. Hands full of algae, she wades waist deep in a disgusting swamp, amazed by the heavenly microscopic life all around them.

I love how much you could see she wanted to walk again. She was trying so hard and desperately wanted to succeed and here she is! And now she's so proud of herself! Never been so proud of a dog

Also, the assumption that this is all going to be fixed if the Democrats retake control of the government is a fever dream. They have no recent track record of significantly cleaning up GOP messes. And when it comes to militarism, they tend to go along with whatever Overton dragging the GOP has done

from my own perspective this is one of the greatest harms done by this government and plotting a course to reverse this damage is must be a very priority in our speech and our activism

I would really love to hear what positive things in US history she's referencing, genuinely. Every good thing that's ever happened that I can think of is either because it's righting an egregious wrong that America created or it's something not at all unique to American history

folks when we find a guy who's saying a bunch of dumbass shit can we get back to blocking them instead of screenshotting them and talking about their dumbass shit? these losers are not worth our time & when we let them waste it we insult the revolution

"Why do innocent people flee the police?" Idk, maybe the fact that they kill newborn babies and puppies might have something to do with it. Just saying.

How do you decide which dogs you have to extensively medically treat you send back out to where they were before? It seems like most of the dogs that need extensive medical treatment get adopted out, but not Shaq

Lily is trans & her videos are staunchly trans rights and social justice as a whole! Totally cool if you don't want to watch a video that involves discussions of that man, but I highly recommend her other stuff. The video on surveillance is great and I think about The Fascism of Endings all the time

Is @hankgreen.bsky.social 's new podcast made in collaboration with Amazon?? The link on the main page of the Humans podcast is to art19.com/shows/humans, which is a proudly Amazon company. What's the deal with that? I'm disappointed if so, seems like an uncomfortably pro-oligarchy move

Unfortunately, I'm not sure there is much shelter infrastructure in Thailand. Obviously abandoning this dog is horrible, but it's not as simple to do the right thing in places w/o shelters. We need to make it easier to do the right thing in underresourced places (which Happy Doggo is working on!)

Ezra Klein is allergic to saying anything is just plain bad (even fascism apparently) and I am deeply, deeply tired of him being held up as anything but an apologist at this point.

It makes me so mad how so many people in power fail to understand how fragile and vulnerable people who return to faith communities are after suffering church abuse.💜 To acknowledge the fragility & care needed for these folks would for higher-ups in the church to acknowledge the harm church has done

My dog also has a probably fictional birthday! It's funny to explain that to people when they ask. But might as well celebrate on the day! It's (maybe!) close enough!
