As a defender of traditional gender roles, I am concerned that Ed is promoting Finding Nemo, where Marlin stays male after his wife died. When the dominant female dies the largest male clownfish turns female. This is basic biology! I don't want my child to grow up confused about clownfish.

Digital organizing is a skill and one you can refine to be more effective. For most people it won’t be the most effective tool in their personal toolbelt- they might be capable of other things, and should pursue those. It is just one of many, and one that does take skill.

To be clear: just posting willy nilly isn’t effective digital organizing. You do need to be strategic, spread action items not just doom, and build community not just rage clickers. You have to coalition build, and coordinate with people able to use other strategies.

This kid slightly misunderstood their homework assignment and we could not possibly love it more. 12/10
a white sheet of paper hanging from a black clip against a blue wall. the paper is a worksheet with the words, "my dog is a..." with the instructions to circle one of the following words, "hero," "companion," or "worker." instead, the word "circle" has been circled in pencil, and the rest of the sheet reads, "because he is round" in crude handwriting. next to the explanation as to why the dog is a circle, is a drawing of a very rotund dog with a tiny tail and little feet. this is an A+ assignment if we've ever seen one.

On the one hand I think psychoanalysis is congenitally misogynist, and its popular reemergence is a symptom of backlash that will ultimately be wielded against the cause of women’s freedom. On the other hand, conservatives keep saying shit like this.

If you want to oppose Trumpism, one thing you can do is make sure that men who would call clergywomen "so called" don't think you're joining them in that assessment. It comes up a lot more than you might think.

A large, stocky animal with a short, flexible snout stands in a lush green environment, surrounded by dense vegetation. The animal's dark fur contrasts with its lighter facial markings, and its ears are rounded with white edges. It appears to be looking directly at the camera with an open mouth, creating a dynamic expression.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Today, we remember the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Over the years, I have found strength in Dr. King’s leadership in our country’s darkest moments. I am especially guided by this teaching from his Letter from Birmingham Jail which feels prescient today.

A reminder



Very few executive orders change policy immediately. They cannot immediately change
regulations, and they cannot change the law as established through statutes and the
courts. Rather, there will be steps that take time and follow a clear process (such as the
regulatory process requiring agencies to make notice, to solicit comments, to review such
comments, and then to issue final rules). In some instances, litigation is not only expected
but is also already being prepared.


We do not want to encourage anticipatory obedience, rather than asserting what is and is
not happening at a given moment.

@aoc.bsky.social e-mail going after TikTok & social platforms collaborating with Trump - with a shout out to @bsky.app
First of all, Donald Trump is not president right now.

He's a private citizen. He does not have access to presidential powers. He does not have the ability to do any of that.

Please understand that TikTok's decision to name Trump in the notification is a choice. They are signaling that they have agreed to privately collaborate with Donald Trump and the Trump administration.

For all of those concerns that people were saying that TikTok is gonna be used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese, understand they're using it as a propaganda tool for the right.

Now, I want you all to put all the pieces together because what this effectively means is that every mass social media platform in the United States has been taken over by the right wing, with the exception of Blue Sky (but Blue Sky is still very small, relatively).
