It’s most def a “driving force” in regard to our subjectivity, which is hard to separate from economics in our culture.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

here it is! my CareFax 1.2 update, with a link to a template I made on Canva so you make your own edits, fill it in digitally, or just print copies to try it out with your people IRL.

I would love your feedback and to hear about your experiences if you try it out!

template: bit.ly/3KAAul4

carerax
In a world that profits from our exhaustion and isolation, taking care of each other is a radical act. CareFax is a body-centered friendship tool that helps us emember how to live differently-to build webs of care strong enough to hold us through grief, burnout, and transformation.
CareFax is a starting place for conversations about mutual aid, community care, nd tenderness, designed to help your people show up for you (and you for them) in ways that resist the myth of self-sufficiency.
Because we can't do this all on our own. While corporations and self-help grifters try and sell us the idea that the right thing will cure us or make us happy, what we actually need is each other. start your own carerax:
Gather your friends, family, or community members and fill out your CareFax forms-either together over tea, or on your own time. You can print them and keep them in a binder, or make a digital folder that you can update as your life shifts. You can even keep your own CareFax filled out to share with folks as your relationships grow and blossom.
Over time, your CareFax can become more than a set of forms, but a practice of collective tenderness and interdependence. miigwech, ashley fairbanks find me at ziibiing.com or as ziibing on all socials

When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries. Here, today, police look at rising fascism and say “Finally. We’ve been waiting for this.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...

1. Bear head lake is probably my fav state park that’s not on the north shore
2. Minnesota state parks & rest areas are so so good

Minnesota Star Tribune @startribune.com · 1d

Minnesota is No. 1 in places to go No. 2: A restroom inside Bear Head Lake State Park near Ely, Minn., is a national winner.

See the Minnesota park bathroom that won an award for best in the country

The park facilities “raise expectations for public spaces everywhere,” according to Cintas, which gives out the award.

NeoLiberals use the phrase “purity test” as a dog whistle for bigotry and open hatred for those seen as a threat to their power and influence.

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

the tallest stone @talleststone.bsky.social · 1d

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

Going to take a moment to point out this propaganda being pushed by Gavin Newsom bot accounts across the resist circles because it’s a good illustration of the fascist nonsense these neoliberal corporatists believe and are trying to seed across democratic circles.

georgiamushroom.bsky... @georgia... • 2h
No he has the right idea. These single issue advocacy groups lost us a win. Trans rights and LGBTQ issues are important but not important enough to the voters. Dems have to get the message back towards center to win and thats what newsom is doing. Change can be effective after we control government.

The #GavinNewsom veto is about the new trend of the Democratic party.
Establishment dems will step away from trans rights and other critical points of contention in an effort to bolster support for the upcoming gubernatorial and 2028 elections. Culture war issues lost us the vote last time.

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."
