SO much love for the covid cautious spaces that maintain their shared principles under enormous pressure to capitulate. When organizers commit to accessibility they send the message that the participation of disabled agitators is understood as critical.

The person claiming to have doxed Jane Doe in the Cornell rape case is Aidan Thompson, a groyper nazi who runs "AF Post" which he took over from Ali Alexander (who also once faced sexual assault allegations of his own). Thompson described himself as a "rape expert" in his videos leading up to this.

I really don't care if YouTube is gonna demonetize your video but if you're going to censor words like 'blood' and 'rape' in your video about actual crimes then you might as well not make the fucking video in the first place. We need to call this out for what it is: cowardice.

this tweet but instead of it being about toxic yuri it's just about the fact that steven universe is funny. steven universe is funny! like, actually funny, funnier than a lot of its contemporaries that are know for being funny. people forget about this.

missed out on my hpv vaccine at school so i finally got it today! reminder to anyone who missed out on it and who's eligible to get it done. if you're under 25, get it before you turn 25 (it's twice as expensive if you're 25 or over, and the vaccine isn't cheap even if you're under 25)

Apparently Google has only partially updated its satellite photos of Gaza, so there are currently these weird images where whatever algorithm they use is utterly failing to blend before and after shots

The bottom half shows densely packed neighborhoods with, many of which appear to have sustained damage from aistrikes, with some small patches of trees. The top half shows continuations of the neighborhoods in the south, but with much of them now completely flattened to yellow sand and smudges of grey rubble.

Rafah, a city which had a pre-war population of 170,000 and once hosted the "humanitarian zone" for over a 1,000,000 Palestinian refugees, no longer exists in a meaningful way. Literally ground to dust.

And I really do think that's what most of our disabled comrades are complaining about, insofar as they are. Not that we haven't eliminated all health risks in our spaces but that we don't behave like this stuff matters for all of us as a movement...

*We're" the ones who force them into having to consider their health individually when we decline to think about it collectively, rather than working with our disabled comrades to make reasonable choices re: weighing risks. Something they have more experience with anyway!

And yeah when you put people in that position, you are only gonna hear from certain people. You aren't gonna hear from people who don't want to talk about their personal needs in an organizing context, they'll just be quiet and protect themselves. Which is a big loss.

padding the word count of my novel by adding "So anyways," to the front of every paragraph. obviously you can't really do that with the first paragraph of the book, but in all other cases it's fair game. if you can drop in the occasional "So basically what the whole deal is, is that," even better

i want to say something about the last ditch bar but i want to stress: covid is still a threat, even if most people act like it's not. masking is still important. two-way masking is better than one-way masking which is better than no-way masking. there is value in mask mandates even in 2026.

Whatever you thought about the situation before, realize that much of America is high-fiving rn over the vibes of "well at least we're not like those too-woke, mask wearing, communist lesbians" and I beg you to see why that's unequivocally a bad thing during the rise of fascism.

one thing that annoys me about the whole "one way masking is actually enough" spiel is that 1) it's not true (it is better than no-way masking though, don't use this as an excuse to not mask) and 2) even if it were, maskers often find themselves in situations where they may need to unmask!

it's not just liberals that you can scratch to get a fascist. most leftists are like this too. see how they react when asked to do something unfashionable and inconvenient but necessary. like wearing a mask. most leftists prioritise comfort over justice, just like everyone else.
