I feel fr people who work for billionaires. The workers do 99% of the work and the billionaires don’t pay them fairly. If they did then everyone in the company would be wealthy together. It could work in the systems of today, but too many folks are greedy.

I believe in people changing. Without that activism is pointless. Some folks I’ve met, who have been abhorrent, changed into really good people.

This man’s values are based in power, greed and division. They are so far removed from the values of the Australian people.
We need a government that has the courage to stand up to him, reject his racism, reject US bases and forge an independent peaceful path for Australia.

When I started looking into the intersectional feminist community on Twitter, about 10 years ago, I had prolife in my bio, and my first words were not all men. Some of the women saw something in me and followed, maybe it is my willingness to change. I’m very different man now. This is a 🧵about hope.

There’s nothing like a circle of women who want the best for each other. Women who strategize. Women who mediate between one another and manipulate the world with a unified, equitable objective. You were probably taught that this isn’t our nature. Society stole that from you. We are the best at it.

The right wing in the United States, trying to get rid of higher education, makes a bit of sense when you realise that their version of an academic is Peterson a boring, waste of an education, on an unwise misogynistic, dullard.

You are not sticking it to the publishing industry by pirating books; you're just hurting individual authors.
You want free ebooks, use Libby! The authors will still get paid!

Oh yay, piracy discourse, more people to block. I did a spree yesterday but I'm trying to hit 3000 manual blocks by the end of the year, gotta keep working at it.

On another app, I’ve been talking about the ways I have changed over the last year.
Social and anticipatory anxiety is still there, and I’m fighting that hard, but I’ve had some victories over myself.

Some time ago, while exploring the net I stumbled upon a PUA site. I was about to leave in disgust, but I thought I’ll have a quick look and report on what I saw. It was as you’d expect, men talking about women as things to be conquest and conquered, before being thrown away.

I’ve changed over the last year, I’ve tackled the worst parts of me, learned new ways to deal with certain things through feminism, and books, gained friends offline. Learned some more cooking. Still struggling with a bunch of things, but I’m definitely a better man.

The US rape kit processing backlog was estimated at nearly 400,000 in September of 2024. That’s 400,000 unsolved crimes - not civil infractions - where the evidence that could convict the perpetrator is available, but unchecked. If ICE wants to fight crime, get those agents a GED and a lab coat.

SNAP benefits increased under Biden, not because an abnormally large number of recipients were added, but because the admin increased the per person allotment under the Thrifty Food Plan from an average of $4.80 /day to $6.20 /day. The most recent prior cost of living evaluation occurred in 2006.

Started writing a book and I’ve finished my rough draft in a couple of weeks. Tiny bit slower than before I got sick, but still pretty good. Just off 70,000 words.
Mum read through it and loved it. Asked for an honest critique.

I don’t think that everyone who voted for Trump is a NeoNazi. I think that a lot of them are the most gullible, daftest, voters on the planet. Trump is a terrible con artist, so there is a lot of self delusions too. Only someone without wisdom could believe that Q nonsense, also.

For justice in Israel/Palestine Bibi and Hamas’ leaders would be tried for crimes against humanity.
Imagine if the US signed a peace deal with Hitler and Hirohito during WWII, as long as they promised to not murder and rape people anymore, then lets them get away with it.

In my lifetime I’ve seen so many American governments declare peace in Gaza...
If by some miracle it’s true this time, then the actual negotiator is more likely to get a Nobel Peace Prize than a man sending troops into cities in the hope they will murder democrats.
