when your class is online asynchronous but canvas is down because of AWS crashing. 🙃

i don't know, y'all, seems to me like letting three companies run everything is a bad idea.

People will literally die if the Republicans plan goes through. Am I not allowed to be emotional about it?

bluesky is an even weirder place than twitter. does my post say we should repeal Obamacare

no

does it say that the institutionalist instinct to devote so much emotion to defense of it rather than sympathizing with what it didnt/still has not fixed (for many) is misplaced?

yes. and i stand by that

So, I turn 40 today.

And I've never had coffee in my life. So you all know a 40 year old who has never had coffee. Congratulations.

Satire isn't wish fulfillment or fantasizing about what you actually want to do.

If you can't treat the people in the tent with humanity then it's you not joining the tent, not a "purity test" keeping you out.

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

Where the fuck are you from? I'd love to know the perfect place you love where you can judge other people for "allowing themselves" to be oppressed?

I saw two different video advertisements of a woman being raped on YouTube this weekend, for some AI chat it that promises it has "no filters". I am so appalled I can't even process it. I got no response so far from reporting and blocking the ads.

I want to live in a world where even just posting a picture of themself in a crown is enough for a president to get removed from office, let alone fantasies about using military vehicles to dump literal shit on people you don't like.
