I want to challenge everyone in 2025. Consider only posting news stories about local concerns, international news stories, nature, charities, education, healthcare, travel, safety, and human rights. Stop posting political news grabbing headlines for 30 days. Your entire outlook will change.

Why I am fine with Eat the Rich: Jeff Bezos announcing that he's marrying his next wife, Lauren Sanchez, in a lavish $600m ceremony. They live in Florida. $600m would cover 2 years of FL k-12 free lunch programs. Last year the state discontinued the office that helped schools file for free lunches.

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"

Please do not reply with a solicitation to the people making #MutualAid requests. You won’t reach them, you will reach me, and i’ll be hiding those replies. People are allowed to ask for help without being targeted by anyone else’s business. If you really want to help, just boost and/or donate 🫶

Bsky has made the admins’ priorities clear, and there is no surprise here. They primarily seem to use banning policies to stifle #MutualAid requesters For my money, social media without Mutual Aid is worthless So this thread will boost all MA requests made to me. I’m not here to gatekeep empathy:

Starting a new thread for this by request. Resist #scarcity doctrine- helping one person does not have to mean taking away from another. Empathy is like love. The more you share it, the more you have to share #evergreen

A two-paneled image shows an outdoor, lettered bulletin board. The first panel shows the board’s actual message which reads: “Why is narcan free to a dope addict but my insulin is $750 a month”

The second panel shows the same sign with part scratched out to read: “Why is…my insuling $750 a month”

Listen to me - if you’re one of the oppressed or especially multiply marginalized people living here right now? Your job is to SURVIVE. There’s nothing else i need from you more. I need you to know that you are never less important than any other human being. Fight, run, hide, i don’t care. LIVE.
