I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

I just saw someone admonishing someone trans to shut up about trans rights because there are concentration camps in the US, and you know who I see overwhelmingly and disproportionately on the front lines standing up against concentration camps? Trans people.

I think part of the comedy of “We Are Charlie Kirk” is that, to the extent the lyrics can be interpreted the same way as something that had actually been written, they are fundamentally based on the idea that Charlie Kirk cared about something

For the SF tour, I got discounted tickets from a random Instagram code and paid I think $180 for maybe 8th row orchestra? It was great to be IN the space, but even there you start to lose detail. Seeing the people up close who have *lived* the characters off and on for a decade was unreal.

A brilliant theatrical performance where you can really see their expressions for the princely sum of *fifteen dollars* depending on what area you’re in? Incredible.

Book bans have already changed the conversation. Now some leaders are questioning whether libraries themselves deserve public funding. We explored this troubling shift & why defending the freedom to read means defending the libraries that make it possible www.freedomtoreadproject.org/beyond_book_...

Beyond Book Bans: When the Target Becomes the Library Itself
Book challenges are increasingly evolving into challenges against libraries themselves, threatening funding, services, and communities' access to knowledge and opportunity.

Freelance, from home, creative work and indie projects are often the only profession disabled people can pull off and I've seen everyone's work dry up because of AI. This tech is about as anti-disabled people as you can get and I'm tired of the proponents using as an excuse for its existence.

Right? Fics just tend to be more indulgent, so I generally overlook some of the repeated patterns. Sometimes it gets to be too much, though. I hate that our reality is: is this benign second language inconsistencies or literal art and planet-killing maliciousness?

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police. I will hold your hand as I say this: Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit. Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.
