People often say w/pride, 'I'm not interested in politics.' They might as well say, 'I'm not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future.' If we mean to keep any control over our world & lives, we must be interested in politics. -M Gellhorn
You may think you are apolitical but you will definitely be remembered for your politics.

i related to this poem so hard as a borderline
It’s the oldest story in the world. The Epstein Files reminded me of this piece I wrote on a devastating anniversary.

“It’s illegal not to like me” part ♾️ bsky.app/profile/jake...
The president is now attacking a US Olympian as a “Loser” and misrepresenting his words for his mild unspecified criticisms about things going on in the US right now.

This poem leaves me feeling raw and vulnerable, and even more empathy for the survivors of the evil President

It is getting very boring being told that "the youth love reform on tiktok" with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

I am so tired of rich people refusing to build anything new and just burning everything that exists as a public good to the ground instead. They have decimated journalism this way. Remember when they used to be scared enough to build public libraries and parks?

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

I strongly believe that you need to qualify your doomerism with active solutions that you believe will help, otherwise you are simply adding to despair which depresses liberation movements.

We can and SHOULD use it. Often.
Every time the White House backtracks or deletes something because of pushback, it just proves to me that those losers are still terrified of backlash. This is a good thing. We can use that.

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?
Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…
Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.
Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Another way to say "not all men". Because in a society that collectively oppresses women with lower pay, sexual harassment, rape, domestic violence, etc, the real sexism is when people make men feel bad.
Nb4 anyone comes in to say men can be victims of those crimes. Yeah. Mostly caused by other men.

One of my ongoing issues with people describing men who commit heinous acts as “monsters” or saying “those aren’t real men” is that it successfully otherises the problem instead of acknowledging the issue that is male violence. The only reason we do this is to protect men’s feelings.

The greatest joy in my life as an academic is being asked this type of question
the greatest joy in my life is asking overly qualified academics really dumb questions about the field of study they have devoted their lives to (i.e. did medieval people smoke weed?)
it's here! a really fun conversation with our friends at @wowiftrue.bsky.social podcast about "crusadercore" and which group of medieval people would be the best Twitch streamers.
have a listen and please share widely! #medievalsky

One of the stupid things about the Epstein files is people keep pretending we're going to find in them the facts the victims, who are also the witnesses, have been testifying to for years and years. We already know. Of course he doesn't want to. Of course X is its own child-abuse nexus.....

I just yelled at someone for this, but sitting in your pants at home and judging people outside in -5 degree weather protesting through song because they’re not being “violent enough to kill all the Nazis” is the most online thing I’ve ever seen. Go out and touch some grass.
