Black, queer, radical, female, femme people & orgs literally diagnosed the problem so well that "them goons are coming" became accepted wisdom and so now everyone thinks THEY had the idea and don't need to acknowledge the work that so-called Woke Movement damn near killed themselves to teach you.

Leaving him doesn’t foreclose his growth. It just accepts the truth of his actions: he may become better but he won’t be better for you. But, yeah, this is just such a huge red flag. I’ve never seen it get better.

Save these to use when you need them: You linger where trust is forced and supervision thins. Sanctuaries make excellent camouflage. You are most comfortable in a role where doubting you feels impolite.

As of this week, hundreds of thousands of Haitians lost their legal status. Most have lost work permits as well. That's left many people unable to support themselves. Here is a verified link to a fundraiser supporting Haitians in Springfield. Please drop links to other fundraisers in the replies.

One of the principles that has served me VERY well in "activism" is this: Find the fights that indigenous people, trans people, or sex workers have picked and start putting in work with them. It has led me astray exactly zero times.

Print this, frame it www.thehandbasket.co/p/refusing-t...
In a November conversation at the Urban Consulate in Detroit, the great writer and thinker Tressie McMillan Cottom was asked by host Orlando P. Bailey, “Do you have a daring idea for us to ponder and sit with for our collective future?” McMillan Cottom replied with this: “When people try to sell you on the idea that the future is already settled, it’s because it is deeply unsettled. I think that this promise of an artificial intelligent future is really just a collective anxiety that very wealthy, powerful people have about how well they’re gonna be able to control us in the future. If they can get us to accept that the future is already settled—AI is already here, the end is already here—then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” 
Today, I refuse.

It's a good day to honor the memory of the late, great Mira Bellwether by buying a trans woman a pizza or other food of her choice. If you're not familiar w this legend here's the cover of her most famous zine ($10 at fuckingtranswomen.org). I can't believe it's been 4 yrs since we lost her 💔
Text reads Fucking Trans Women, 80-page Giant!! lssue #0, October 2010. Black and white illustration of a woman in 1920s style bathing suit with an open coat, cowgirl boots, and short hair, one hand on her hip while the other wields a whip like a ringleader of a circus. At her feet are seven tiny human figures running and trapped inside a metal ring.

Community is *not* built on liking each other. It's built on acknowledged impact on each other and, thus, obligation to each other. Expecting someone to be your friend or be *nice* to you before you'll help them, show up with them, or work with them is part of the problem.

I still use a 2G flip phone for a wide variety of reasons, so this is easier for me to put into action. But I really think people need to start integrating this into their daily lives and mental habits: In today's USA, your smartphone puts you on a repressive state's map.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

The magic words are "I was working in the yard and something jabbed me in the thick bit of my thumb, it healed right up but someone said I should get a Tdap booster just in case" (outside, puncture wound, healed over fast are the three major risk factors for tetanus)

Periodic reminder: the vaccine efficacy of the pertussis vaccine drops below 50% at 4.5 years. You should be getting a Tdap booster every 5 years, not every 10. It is especially vital if you have contact with pregnant people or infants too young to be vaccinated.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves
In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.
