Know how I know vaccines don’t cause autism?
‘Cuz, if they did, we’d have generations of empathic folks intolerant of injustice and cats would be everywhere and we wouldn’t be dealing with this shit.

Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips — made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 — show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself.

“It is deeply disrespectful and hurtful to see my father’s image used in such a cavalier and insensitive manner when he dedicated his life to truth,” Shabazz, whose father was assassinated in front of her in 1965 when she was 2, told The Washington Post. She questioned why the developers were not acting “with the same morality, conscience, and care … that they’d want for their own families.”

The deployment of tear gas throughout the Chicago area is a growing health concern. ICE is deploying tear gas in residential neighborhoods, near children, playgrounds, stores, etc. What are the health implications on our communities?

Since Trump has destroyed funding for special education programs, donate to my old school. If you support and care for children then start proving it.

Mutual aid is a primary way we will survive now.

Donate. This school saved my life at the age of 15.

This is my old school. It's a private special education school that serves a vulnerable population of students with physical, emotional and mental difficulties. Trump has destroyed special education. If you care about children then donate to my old highschool.

Mutual aid.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

It's funny what y'all don't care about. Like the destruction of special education classes, programs and schools under Trump. Yet you all swear you're allies who love children.

Right.

Prove it by donating to special education schools right now.

Pardner finally cleaned out the dresser and it turns out they had a bunch of great hats and ties this WHOLE TIME? The whole time?!

So I played dress up and we watched Madonna videos from the 90’s.

(I just happened to have a fitted blazer.)

The fact that Moore disowned it and blames people’s misreading of it for the rise of endless superhero slop movies is pretty telling.

I read Peter Thiel’s essay on Alan Moore’s Watchmen and it unquestionably proves that piss poor media literacy is foundational to this recent rise of fascism.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

I’m going to cry every time I watch the trailer for Hamnet and then I’m going to drag Pardner to the theatre ( unless I find a more appreciative date) so I can cry watching it.

Cogito, ergo cum @buckshot.bsky.social · 2d

Recently reminded of the time Pardner and I were coming down from acid and they put on a movie.

“What is happening?!” I begged after a half hour.

“I don’t know! I thought it was a feel good story about a girl going on an adventure with her pig friend!”

Friends, it was Okja.

When a guy gets “friend zoned” he bitches because a girl he wants to fuck just wanted to be friends. Like, she enjoyed his company.

When a girl gets “friend zoned,” she shuts down quietly because a person she had a connection with couldn’t tolerate not fucking them.

I think it sucks more for girls

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 4d

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.
