β€œYou keep us alive while I roll the joint,” feels increasingly possible as my actual last words.
You’re either a bot or a man thinking anyone needed this explanation.

My point was we have 3 years. Say β€œno” now, and loudly, so he never gets to be one of those 2 people.

Why you should care about @karenattiah.bsky.social’s firing: β€˜It never stops just at black people when our voices are being silenced. It never stops when it’s just marginalized people being silenced. It is always a test case for what is possible to other people’
New:

I sat down with @aljazeera.com to talk about my firing from the Washington Post, being the last Black staff columnist left at the Post.

And how I believe the right is not just engaging in β€œcancel culture”, but β€œannihilation culture”.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

Netanyahu broke the ceasefire & killed 104 Palestinians, including 46 children. Israeli soldiers executed a 9 year old boy in the West Bank as he watched a football gameβ€”he's the 1001st person they've killed since 10/7.

And corporate media has largely ignored it.

Israel Executes 9-year-old Palestinian Child in West Bank, Netanyahu Resumes Bombing Gaza
The Israeli military has killed more than 100 Palestinians since the "ceasefire" and still faces no accountability while western media remains largely silent

Maybe I should stop buying my ice trays from Dollar General.
I can only ever find ice trays at the local Dollar General in the summer, and I just shattered another one.

Here's hoping the last two hold on till April. lol
Resin butts and skeletons are sexually suggestive, y’all. So sayeth th BlueSky AI.
I met my very first love and light only witch and she is highly upset by this mirror. She says I’m inviting negativity. But it looks even better when the sun hits it. (Alt text on image in quoted post)
Oh did gas prices go down? I must’ve missed that when I paid $435 for 100 gallons of oil. (Last year, it was 3.25/gal)
So don’t let it come down to Newsom. You can’t end fascism by continuing fascist policies. Gavin Newsom wants to continue fascist policies, like criminalizing homelessness and taking away certain people’s healthcare. Join his detractors and make sure he doesn’t have the opportunity.

This is why Gavin Newsom is a non-starter for me.

Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader.

A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.
I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY

I recently found out that not everybody knows about this absolutely awesome resource/website.

If I'm buying a hard-copy version of a book online, I do it through them.
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
The other day, this lady stopped me in Dollar General to tell me she liked my hair and then asked what I use to do it. So, I told her. And then she said, "well my daughter's a hairdresser so she already knows all that." <.< lol
IT people at some colleges are just…

β€œWe have winter break coming up, so could you do this work on the 24th or 25th of December?”

They’re a Catholic school.

I’m tellin’ Jesus.
Definitely. Why wouldn’t you? Even as civilian Joe Average, why would you want something permanently on your body that you didn’t understand?
In a similar vein, I didn’t know what a totenkopf tattoo was until the hullabaloo about Platner’s tattoo. I wouldn’t have recognized it as a Nazi tattoo bc I had never seen one.

But to the people saying they wouldn’t know a totenkopf from a Jolly Roger…just shut up. We all know you’re full of it.
I didn’t know The Sound of Music involved Nazis until I was an adult.

When I was a kid, we always watched an edited for TV version that had the swastikas removed.

I have not rewatched it as an adult and am realizing I don’t know the real story behind that movie/family at all.
