My teenager had me join this new little social media site (sprout.spot) that reminds me of MySpace + original Twitter. No algorithm, anti-AI, no corporations/ads, etc. And while I feel slightly out of place because I'm the oldest person there I've seen so far (lol) it's refreshing and I love it.

Instead of: A hill I'm willing to die on I'm gonna start saying: A hill I'm having a picnic on Just... spreading out a blanket with a food basket and staying a long time ✅️ too many ppl dying already ✅️ picnics are cozy n nice ✅️ nobody wants to eject someone having a nice picnic on a hillside

Truly fuck all these people. Anyone willing to throw trans people under the bus can't be trusted to have integrity on any other issue and also THROWING TRANS PEOPLE UNDER THE BUS IS ALREADY A DEAL BREAKER, fuck anyone who doesn't stand with trans people.

Vote Democrat! They're the heroes fighting fascism. All you gotta do is sacrifice trans people. And immigrants. And homeless people. And Palestinians. And people who oppose genocide. And the environment and last hopes of mitigating the worst of climate change. There's more but I'm out of characters.

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be “It’s simple math, vote blue no matter who, grow up” and ALSO believe you are fighting fascism by making calculations as to who’s expendable. The world we’re in now demands more from us. More from everyone.

Once you've granted the idea that it's dangerous to allow trans kids to play organized sports, you're already 99% of the way to agreeing to bathroom bans. You've stipulated to the transphobes' central argument.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Was thinking about an educator I know who used to be so passionate about things like plagiarism and academic honesty. Once genAI started showing up everywhere, they jumped on the train, shifting to how to use genAI in classroom. 🙄 They "recognize there are concerns" but never address those concerns.

A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.
suzpretti
18 hours ago

Today marks the six-month anniversary of Alex's murder. No one has been held accountable, no apologies, not a single phone call from any governmental official, hospital personnel, or the mpls police dept. Six-months of pain, a roller-coaster of trauma over and over. Every time another a death, another mention, a picture, a tribute, a sorrow so deep. I wonder how to move forward. Will I ever get over this loss and this pain?
Will I ever be able to enjoy life again? How does one live knowing that I have no power to change what has happened?

And yet the outreach not only from Minnesota, but from around the world has been nothing less than spectacular. Every card, every gift, every heartfelt letter has been read, touched, held, and cherished by us all. The kindness you've all shown us is beyond words. Please never forget Alex and what he believed in ~ equality and peace for all. I will remember the things that made you, you. It will never take your memory. As long as I'm here, you will never be forgotten.

For all you asking what you can do. Continue this fight. Never give up your right to speak out, protect your neighbor, your community and don't forget to spend time with those you love...

stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.
