Every damn time. Someone posted a talk about ableism, eugenics, and genocide. Commenter: people forget that Nazis sent the disabled to camps, too. No, sweetheart, people forget they used us as prototypes for the camps. They tested mass murder on disabled people first. We’re cut out of that story.

campus rape culture isn't a problem specific to Cornell. After my own activism at my old college, I met many (and taught some) activists across the country. I beg people to look beyond one case to see a systemic problem.

How do we incentivize people to paint wizards on their vans again I haven’t seen a wizard van in a decade and it feels like we lost something precious Can we offer up a tax credit? Little bags of shrooms? Start a wizard van painting program at vocational schools?

Hey #TeamADHD who are also #readers . Your comfort reads that you have read again and again, do you find that you are actually reading rather than plowing through? Like. I’m maybe not reading all the words that have always been there, but I’m reading a whole lot more of them. Anyone else?

ICE are currently chasing and kidnapping immigrants in New Bedford, Massachusetts, a town that is at this point probably most famous for being the starting point for Ishmael’s journey in the great American novel Moby-Dick, which portrays a multiracial crew including many immigrants, working together

Reviving this thread on why the gentry — liberal and conservative — *really* hate trans communities and trans organizing. I think this explains a lot about why more Dem candidates are going openly anti-trans even though it hurts their electoral chances. They regard us as a threat.

I am once again pleading for any RPG creators who make PDFs to put *something* on them to let me know what game this is for. When I am trying to sort through hundreds (or thousands) of files and I come across handouts.pdf or charsheet.pdf, I'd really like to put them with their parent game.

Also, also, can we PLEASE call out how FUCKING CREEPY it is that the discourse is about *children's bodies*? Like... it's just another aspect of the disgusting predatory outlook, and we're acting like it's a legitimate health concern. It's not. It's *obsessing over children's genitalia*. EW.

I need a better word. A word for, “it’s not that I/you don’t have the brain power, it’s just that the available brain power was not used for this particular decision.” And there is a difference between fumble, in that regard, and an obstinate refusal to think through/accept any opposing views.
