This really puts stuff like publicly funded third spaces in perspective for me. It's so relatively cheap to build out community centers, gyms, makerspaces, studios etc.

FAFO aside, his shock is a great distillation of how whiteness as a social construct is built around shattering communal understanding of our interconnected human ecosystem in favor of a mythical individualism How whiteness leaves its adherents defenseless against our shared oppressors: capitalists

A reddit crafts community banned TERF Wizard crafts. Naturally, a large number of responses to this are in the vein of "oh, sure, that'll change the world". So, to make it very clear: THE WORLD CHANGED. Yesterday, these crafts were allowed in this one corner of the world. Today, they are not.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.
Nichole Hiltz
The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

If you think it's really important, in the short term, to vote for a compromise candidate while doing other work to protect the vulnerable people that candidate's words or actions might harm? Then your job is also campaigning. You have to campaign now, to convince people.

So we wind up in this weird juxtaposition where there’s a ton of energy and enthusiasm for the getting rid of the police people feel are extra bad while a muted and frankly unconvincing reaction when we find the “good” police performing the same functions.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

the trans moral panic pushed by the NYT and Atlantic is about transphobia, obviously, but it's also about older wealthy readers believing that as adults they have the right to control their children's identities and futures.

Tbqh this is like reversing cause and effect. If you were at all on the internet in 2014, you would know the young Nazi problem was part of Trump’s rise to power in the first place. In fact, there are emails between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein about leveraging far right-leaning young men.

I won't pretend this means a Dem nominee can run within six points of a Republican in West Virginia, but Trump is working hard to demobilize his whole party & we are going to win in places we couldn't imagine being on the table a year ago. We should be working *now* to recruit everywhere for 2028.

When Trump is finally defeated, remember that the hangers-on and the ghouls surrounding him, the JD Vances of the world, will all claim that they were trying to moderate his evil and they should be thanked. And we need to remember that this is a lie. They were willing to do anything for power.

But - contrary to the expectations of many - the *overall* suicide rate dropped as well. People think "if someone wants to kill themselves, they'll find a way." The data doesn't reflect that - it turns out, you need to have the ideation *and the opportunity* at the same time. Which is important.
