happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

if you’re not Catholic, let me real quick tell you about the breathtaking audacity of bringing the monstrance with him

a monstrance is a big bedazzled gold ornament with a round glass window in the middle where you put a consecrated wafer, usually the bigger ceremonial one and not the bite-size

It’s fine to use “antifascist” or “antifa,” but it doesn’t matter much.

They operate under the Friend/Enemy paradigm: EVERYONE in opposition to them is considered THE ENEMY in their eyes.

What matters is getting comfortable being seen that way and refraining from engaging in splitting on our side.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

It's very windy out, as well as dry, and I think someone a few blocks away is shooting off a bunch of fireworks and I just have to say, not all the children are the future. Some are just fire hazards with limbs.

All you peacenik liberals wringing hands over what to do: Yes, of course, vote. It's your primary responsibility as a citizen.

But now more than ever, fulfill your second civic responsibility: Serve on juries. Never has it been more imperative to thwart rogue injustice.

Atheists like this unironically make the fundamentalist Christian Right's job so much easier. Almost like they inexplicably promote Christian Hegemony by treating other faiths and ethnoreligious groups as if they have the same structural power as the Christian Church 🤔🤔🤔

The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Maria Corina Machado, has praised Donald Trump as a "visionary" and approves of his military attacks on Venezuelan civilians

Nobel Peace Prize winner hailed Trump as ‘visionary’ just days before her victory

Maria Corina Machado was given the award for promoting democracy in Venezuela and says that the US president is the country’s best chance for regime change

Giving the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado is a very effective trojan horse because everyone can pretend that it's a middle finger to Donald Trump when she openly supports the US doing regime change in Venezuela (which is what he also wants)

Mr Sri Lanka. This is a rare case where I think the outfit would be better without the giant gold snakes around his head. Maybe add a cape, but I think the rest of the outfit (what little of it there is) is so great that he doesn't need the snakes.

Reminder that one of the punkest acts of resistance against fascism is putting a mask on in shared air.

It immediately marks you as a brave and safe person for disabled folks. It’s not easy to stick out, yeah.

So imagine how we feel.

Anna Holmes @annabookwriter.bsky.social · 16h

It’d be great if you wouldn’t help them by extending the benefit of the doubt, following dubious health advice, treating their side as “reasonable concerns”, and particularly and especially refusing to get vaccinated, wear masks, and clean the air.

There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. And the sooner we accept that he’s not going to save any of us the sooner we can start saving each other.

Politicians and community organizers at the city and local level are doing far more than he is, despite having far less power and money.

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

Eugenics is about collectively demarcating who among us is “inferior” enough, in the “right” ways, to be actively or passively cut out of society. It relies on us not caring about disability justice & also encourages people to disable each other to the point they can be easily,wordlessly left behind

NightMar on Hicks Street, Part 4: The Rabbit’s Revenge @histoftech.bsky.social · 1d

Long Covid is more prevalent in children in the US now than asthma. We are fucking destroying the next generations w/our behavior. (And adults.)

If you do care about resisting eugenics maybe start by not being the vector that disables a kid in RFK’s US. That is not too much to ask. It really isn’t.

genAI is so good nowadays that we're all gonna get got eventually, but being told/shown over and over that you're disseminating a lie, and just ignoring people who point it out, is a serious red flag.
