I think this is important
Text reads, 'PSA to trans allies: Always write it as "trans women" and not "transwomen". TERFs try to smash the two into a single word so they don't have to acknowledge that trans is an adjective for (and thus a type of) women. I know that sounds pedantic,  but it's really important.'

What people think it would be like if they were a teacher vs what it’s like to be a teacher
Happy teacher surrounded by happy students who love and appreciate her.Teacher stood at the front of her class while students generally riot, destroy everything which is not screwed down and, worst of all, chew gum. She’s thinking, ‘I can’t believe I got an advanced degree for this!’

Her pretty face has a slightly startled expression . She wears a spotty frock edged in lace with a furry collar. Her little arms and legs dangle from the correct areas of her body. I love her and so should you

Terrible shame.
It would be a terrible shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hates, respiratory and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the hardware stores. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kinds without the hole in the top), upside down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain tears by placing them over the canisters.

It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are illegal to own on the US, allowing them to learn where the police are moving and what routes they intend to take. It would be a shame if they learned these scanners can be used to send as we as receive, allowing them to flood the scanner frequencies with noise.

All this would be a terrible, terrible shame.

It would be an awful shame if you copied and pasted this (with alt text) so they couldn't delete the original and all linked posts. Again.

Via Mastodon.
Not verbatim. 

If you're unemployed it's not because there isn't any work.
Just look around: a housing shortage, crime, pollution: we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there is work to be done.
So ask yourself,  what kind of world has work but no jobs? It's a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs. A world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business.

What to do if ICE comes to your door.

Do Not Open The Doors - ICE cannot come in without a signed warrant. Tell them to pass the warrant under the door before you open. (If it is not signed by a Judge it is not a court warrant).

Remain Silent - ICE cannot come use anything you say against you in your immigration case. 

Do Not Sign - do not sign anything ICE gives you without talking to an attorney.

Report The Raid - Call Rapid Response Hotline on 1-844-724-3737. Take pictures, videos and notes.

Fight Back - get a trustworthy attorney and explore options to fight for your case, protect your family and neighbours.

Bee seems nice. No, sorry. Not 'nice'. More 'an interfering, opinionated bat'.
ThisStarChild: (in reply to Jess Phillips) Well, we've all been here for a while and we've managed not to 'mess this up'. Why don't you see if you can join in and play nicely?
Bee: Maybe you could follow your own meme and be kind?
ThisStarChild: Thank you for your comment. I had a response to share and .ade it politely. That's kinder than being rude or aggressive.  I feel I have followed my aviation closely enough.Bee: If someone joins, maybe leave them to find out about the site and not snipe politely.
ThisStarChild: I'm sorry. Who exactly do you think you're speaking to?Bee: (in response to it being suggested she follow her bio description more accurately) Maybe you could mind your own business, comrade.

English is a sparkling and ridiculous gathering of stolen and borrowed words. It’s never going to make sense 🙁 Or, if you prefer…
Reads”The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion,English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”
