I've said it before, I've said it again: Bluesky has a disproportionate and extremely loud percentage of users who think it's morally righteous to abuse people as long as it's for a good enough cause, and an even larger percentage of users who specialize in justifying why causes are good.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault

Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

I think that 1 of the reasons so many men get so angry when there's a conversation about consent or rape going on &feel a need to push back is that every single guy in the world has at some point made a woman uncomfortable, or crossed a line, or failed to listen properly to what was being said 1/2

539. At this point the mythology and the cosmology of this series gets simultaneously way too complex and way too simple; it goes in some wild directions that I love, but it also starts raising the problem of theodicy, which is a bit of an issue. The return to Vorgossos was fun though.

Screenshot of text that says: Hi, I'm juniper. I'm a single disabled mom who's waiting on SSI to help my kids and I get by. I use to work 2 jobs until my body couldn't handle doing it with my long covid issues. In December 2022 my health landed me in the ER where I was in AFib. My heart had to be restarted because it wouldn't come down from over 215 bpm. Not only was that experience extremely traumatizing but it was also eye opening that I am the only one caring for my kids. I realized I needed to do whatever I had to to make sure I stayed around for them.
Which brings me to the main reason outside of my health that I cannot work. One of my kids is disabled with level 3 autism. It is the most severe type of autism. He is nonverbal, aggressive when overwhelmed/ can't communicate and doesn't understand to avoid dangerous things. I have to lock my house up tight so he can't elope as drowning is a HUGE cause of death among severely autistic kids like my son. I'm in high alert majority of the day unless he sleeps.
He is 9 years old and it's equivalent to

Screenshot of text that says: He is 9 years old and it's equivalent to watching a toddler all day who isn't potty trained, know danger and is constantly making messes. That's the best way I can describe it to someone who hasn't lived it.
My son is smart but he struggles with danger awareness, verbal communication and being sensitive to noise and everyday things you wouldn't bat an eye at.
I tried getting him caregivers but he did worse and was hurting those caregivers because he was so upset, I would have to take off work to come home and help him as well as relieve the caregivers. He needs me with him. I take him to his weekly therapies (when we had a car) which is 3 therapies and do everything for him as he has issues even using the bathroom, bathing himself and things kids usually know how to do by
4. This has put me in a very difficult situation not being able to work and waiting on government assistance to help. I'm now stuck needing help online.I'm extremely thankful to have this community and genuine people care about my kids and I.

It boggles the mind that people are still parroting the same Stalin propaganda that was used by naive foreigners in the 30s - at least until they visited and got a reality check. At least they had the excuse that noone knew all the stuff we do looking back. But, it's been half a century 1/2

From "Andor" written by Tony Gilroy. 'The Trail of Political Consciousness' Read it. Remember it. Learn From it. Always resist.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.
