I can't do this course, unfortunately, I have other commitments, but having done workshops with @corrintachibana.bsky.social I am certain it will be a wonderful experience.

What was the point of all that defense spending for for all those generations if the most powerful economy and military in world history was just going to be handed over to a single South African national by the host of The Apprentice in one weekend when nobody felt like changing their plans?

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

Remember that fascists want you to feel hopeless and helpless. We are neither. Continue to be a pain in their fucking ass, even if that just means refusing to go away.

Re-jailing a 77 year old climate protestor because her wrists are too slender to wear an electronic tag is fatuous. Welcome to a parable about how the people who claim to crave law and order have lost the plot. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/68...

imagine if people went to retailers and just took stuff and called it "generative shopping" and then, when the retailers said that's illegal, people said "regular shopping is too expensive so we have disrupted it" and then the retailers were like "OH! Carry on, innovators!"

The concept of transgressive joy makes me very happy. Our joy empowers us. Makes us find meaning, purpose, community. I know that people are hungry for it because I see it everywhere. I can feel it in my bones. And I see it make a difference. We need to build our joy.

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance. We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is. Joy is my favorite weapon.
