as it's the season, @elliesaur.bsky.social and I got to talking about the media hand-wringing about "estranged parents", and, well:
if you're a parent, and you want to keep your relationship with your kids once they're adults, treat them like real humans who you'd like to keep as friends.

forum culture is a great introduction to the internet because it teaches you both to be humble, and that no matter how well you think you've designed rules for a community to be fair and transparent, you always need a "no assholes/no bad vibes" exception because someone WILL test every clause

This is a genuinely insane position from someone who should know better. It’s about wielding and building online clout and completely corrosive to the actual practice of resistance, organizing, or protest, which involves, yes, signing up for things and not being anonymous.

Even if this was likely to happen (it isn’t) YES YOU SHOULD WANT TO MAKE THE FBI COME TALK TO YOU. Make them spend the time and resources, draw attention to their overreach!

The fascist turn in this country doesn’t purely come from MAGA. It’s in the blue cities that purge the homeless. It’s in TERF politics. It’s in the belief in a “strong border” just with slightly more due process. It’s the disdain for red states full of disenfranchised people.
If your response to hearing that a bunch of people died in a flash flood is anything other than heartbreak and compassion I think you might be the baddies

I hope that mossy forests once again cover the earth.
I hope someday we'll meet together under starry skies.
But until then, all we can do is try to make this world a better place.
Take care, friends.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Continuing to creep a vehicle forward when pedestrians are in a crosswalk is incredibly threatening, in the same vein of slowly clicking off the safety on a gun

Knowledge-keeping is subversive. Remembering the stories they want to rewrite, to take from schools, to make dangerous to say, keeps our ancestors’ struggles alive. Keeping those embers lit so they can be blown back to life with a breath is power. Memory is power.

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.
