They meet at La Met--La Maisonette restaurant. They give you the price. Then they give you another number to call if you're interested. This guy... all you get is this here recording, but u-w--I don't see how he makes money.

My baby learned "fly like a butterfly" from Ms. Rachel, and flaps her arms like she's flying whenever she sees a butterfly. She was doing this and I was looking for the butterfly when I realized she was seeing the Bluesky logo

I didn't think people could get madder at Ed Sheeran than when he showed up in that episode of Game of Thrones, but he's pulled it off.

They'd caught the guy, and got the stuff he stole. He came to our house and asked what we'd lost. I told him. He held out a GPS and said "Is this it?" It wasn't, so I said no. He said, "Oh well, you can have it" and then left

My only other experience with crime and the police was once someone broke into a bunch of cars on our street. They stole my GPS, which was broken so I didn't care. But a cop came door to door after the event

Which...like, what am I supposed to do? Wait for this person to show up with a gun and then be like, "Hold on, I think the police can do something now. Let me call."

But the church trustees insisted on calling. A cop showed up just to be like "Yeah but did you die?" and condescendingly tell us "We can't actually do anything unless they really try to kill you. A threat isn't enough."

when people say "who are you going to call when someone tries to kill you," I think of the time when, as a pastor, someone DID threaten to kill me. I didn't want to call the police because I don't like the police & I felt this was a person going through a mental health crisis and had no actual plans

The thing about all these dem politicians backing down on their support of trans people is the republicans are still going to release attack ads saying "so and so is for they/them, not you!" So what is the point?

There's always an implicit threat there too. "We've given you more than you deserve, so quiet down and be nice or we'll take that away too." (they'll try to take it away anyway no matter what you do)

This is the truth about so many movements though. Activist fight tooth and nail for liberation, using a wide variety of tactics, and then when society decides they've given folks enough, they try to homogenize the movement to a milquetoast slogan and demonize the folks who built the foundation

Wild how many folks want to rewrite the history of queer activism to pretend people just said, "Can we pretty please have gay marriage? Love is love!" and society was like, "Oh sure, you seem nice, here you go." There are entire books about LGBT/queer history. You can read them.

My child , on the other hand, has many beautiful bright colored toys but right now she is playing with a post-it note she pulled out of the trash. No one has to care this much about what kind of toys other parents choose for their kids.

Someone made a cute, silly tiktok about how they bought their kids neutral colored wooden montessori toys, but their kid's fav toy is an ugly plastic thing from the thrift store. The comments are so mean to this parent, who was being self-deprecating while clearly respecting their child's choices.

I am so tired of parenting discourse. If your kid is vaccinated and doesn't work in a coal mine, they have it a lot better than children of the past. The sad beige toy trend will not kill them, they will be fine.

"Why take the creativity out of everything?" Minimalism and neutral tones are a creative choice. It's fine, actually, and the kids will see colors like...in the world? They will learn colors and it will be fine. Trends come and go. Kids used to hit hoops with a stick and make corncob dolls

My child has colorful toys and I think the "sad beige kids" memes are funny, but really who cares if someone buys their kids beige toys? I see people accuse parents of child abuse for having beige toys, or saying their kids won't learn colors. It's actually fine if kids have beige toys.

9/11 was one link in a long chain of violence, forged by colonialism and global capitalism. We responded to it by adding to the chain. It's time to break it.

I was 11, but I don't remember a country being united after 9/11. I remember racism and hatred. I remember my friends and family remembers being sent off to fight a country that had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks, and then coming back traumatized and suicidal.

And this at a time when people are saying things like "Woke 1 was crazy" and "In Woke 2 we're focused on class, not identity," as if feminism is solved and now we gotta focus on the REAL issues

Anyway, I expected like 3 people (who probably know me personally) to read this so I didn't include much nuance. Take that into consideration before you spend a bunch of energy calling me a liberal or whatever. Or don't. I probably won't check this site again for like 3 weeks because I don't care

Not to say all critiques of Steinem are this. But people being like "dumb bitch CIA op died, yay" are just trying to be edgy in the same way right wing misogynists are.

I don't use bluesky often and have complicated thoughts on Steinem (I majored in Women's and Gender studies, so I know the critiques of her and have my own), but coming back on here to these responses: I stand by my original post.

The whole "Gloria Steinem was CIA" thing is just supporting my personal theory that a lot of men become leftists so they can be misogynists but in a cool way.

If we're gonna survive we give everything away. Every skill you learn and every tool you build, every community you walk into and every dollar you make, if we're gonna make it your first thought has to be how to give the whole world whatever it is you find. How to make yours, ours.

Honestly, if you want intergenerational community, public service, ritual, morality, a framework to make sense of evil, injustice, suffering and mortality, a place where people visit each other in the hospital — you could do a lot worse than walking into a church, synagogue, mosque or temple.

The play kitchen in the kid's area of our library has a toy fridge that is modeled after a smart fridge (the screen is just a sticker but still) and it makes me question my decision to bring a child into this world
