Cat mom. Mug collector. Social justice Christian. Nazis are for punching.

Trans rights are human rights.
St. Nicholas of Myra, on whom Santa Claus is based, was a Turkish bishop focused on social justice. Most of what we associate with Santa today had its origins in a brown man angry at injustice, trying to help the poor. You know, like Jesus, who is the reason for this holiday.

This is evil.
ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

Welp.

Fuck Liam Neeson.

Support for #Wormbrain is a dealbreaker.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

Stop. Buying. Books. From. Amazon.
Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised.

Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org

This. Is. EVIL.

Medicare should NOT work this way, exists because privatized healthcare screws people.

God curse the people who did this.

(Also the replies & quotes are *full* of other receipts about ways that Newsom has been a jerkass)
"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

What kind of pissing contest is this?

I have no intent to ever visit the UK or patronize their country if this is how they treat people. Shame on them.
Many of you may have heard that trans girls are now banned from Girlguiding in the United Kingdom, their version of the Girl Scouts as we know them in the United States.

It is a cruel new low in a country that has treated trans people horrifically in recent years.

The latest from S. Baum.
UK's 'Girl Scout' Group Has Banned Trans Girls From Joining In Cruel New Low
“This Government must be held responsible for the long-lasting damage they are doing to a generation of LGBTQ+ people.”

Apparently the British govt is also sucking RFK Jr’s dick, and conspiracy theories are sexually transmittable.

Don’t go to England. They are aching to be as awful as America rn.

I don’t know why we are shocked Olivia Nuzzi’s book is terrible. The brain that wrote that book is the same brain that told her to fall head over heels for RFK Jr.

The popular idea of luddites is entirely due to generations of capitalists trying their damnedest to obscure what is a very simple issue.

An easy way to explain luddites:

Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.

And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.

That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.
Target quietly added ChatGPT in its app last week.
