just in case it wasn’t clear: when you stigmatize drug use you not only dehumanize people, but *also* make it harder for ppl to get medical attention for things that are not drugs

Started watching Botched for the first time thinking I’d half pay attention while I finished a writing assignment and hours later I fear I’ve only written a few sentences

It’s insane to do this but it’s even more insane to SAY THIS, like this man has gotten wayyyyy too comfortable

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous.

Stephen Miller views the air strikes as an opportunity to paint immigrants as a dangerous menace, according to one of the White House officials.

I love it when academics publish papers that are like, "I checked and I'm still right"
www.jstor.org/stable/24393...

In this paper I review research since 2000 and conclude
that it has vindicated this view

The experience of realizing you procrastinated too much and you gotta pull an all-nighter to finish writing something and then you look back, strung-out and half-alive, and LIKE what you wrote, and could only imagine how good you could be if you were kinder to yourself

...that's the important stuff

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

Eli Valley @elivalley.bsky.social · 3d

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

Also it’s insane how none of these people know ANYTHING about Christianity, yeah man for sure, caring about your fellow man means your religious beliefs are compromised, let’s get you to bed you must’ve hit your head

I think there are still shared norms we can appeal to when we talk to the marginal MAGA voter. But there really are no shared norms left with the core of the movement.

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s
