always blows my mind when people talk about teachers telling them they'd never amount to anything as a kid. like I can't imagine how that would feel, as a child, but also as an adult who doesn't even like kids that much I can't imagine saying that to a child!

@datagram.bsky.social . The BlueSky policy continues to prevent us from clarifying the suffering we are in. We are in dire need of help. We are dying without any mercy and can't find anything to eat. This method is our only hope to share our story💔

A common canard about the civil war is that it was about states rights, or that the union didn't care about slavery and...like all good lies, there is an element of truth there

But only an element - it ignores the fact that the war directly exposed the union troops DIRECTLY too slavery

"I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on" is metal af

Post by user @jamellebouie.net that reads, "from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"

Nothing made slavery's toxicity more obvious to Union troops than its effect on the fundamental unit of society, the family. For one thing, slave sales separated families. In the Upper Sout, where many Union soldiers were stationed in 1861, about one in three first marriages was broken by sale, and about half of all slave children were separated from at least one parent. With their own eyes, soldiers saw slavery snap bonds between parents and children. The men of the Seventh Wisconsin were awakened by gunshots one November night. The following day, soldiers "learned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro women—a mother and a daughter." The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the "goodlooking" daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage. Outraged by the plight and moved by the vulnerability of the mother and daughter, "every private in the ranks" cursed "that system which tramples on the honor of man, and makes merchandise of the virtue of women," according to one member of the regiment. When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, "By G-d I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on."

Somehow I got out of the habit of making Jeremy daily salads, but I made him one today. Romaine, hibiscus, zinnia, and calcium supplement.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

literally can't even make a silly thread about some guy eating too much HARIBO without it becoming a national scandal because our state broadcaster decided not to include the fact this man is a racist media figure as if that's just no big deal.

trasgernder @gemma.transwrites.world · 13h

edit: turns out the guy in the story is a nasty horrible racist prick. Naturally the BBC did not feel this was important to disclose. But it absolutely is, he is not just "some guy" he's a racist media figure.
