There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

When I lived in Osborne Village, I had to cross Donald at Stradbrook either on foot or by bike to get to work. I was nearly hit by trucks while I was in the intersection with the right of way on three separate occasions. It was so bad that when I got pregnant, I stopped walking or biking altogether.

Oh okay so within the past few weeks, two kids got hit by cars leaving shool, someone else was hit crossing a big street on foot, and someone got run over walking on a crosswalk near me. Cool. Very cool.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

Roslyn and Osborne is a deadly intersection because it is built to move cars through it quickly. Every design decision has been made for the convenience of drivers, not safety for the people like Rosalie who lived there.

I walk and bike across this intersection all the time with my family. It feels like the “safer” option than Osborne and River, but it’s still designed entirely for the fast flow of cars through Osborne Village, not for the many other road users in this very biking and walking-heavy neighborhood.
Getting word that the pedestrian hit by a driver at Osborne and Roslyn last week has died.

These people are shallow twerps so lacking in perspective and independent thought that they need a predictive text generator to insult others for them. There's a level of pathos here that would have Arthur Miller frantically taking notes. Emotionally stunted, empty, mean-spirited, miserly people.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

really is incredible how often "men are having a problem, let's fix it using someone else's entire life" comes up. does the institute for family studies understand that children are whole complete human beings whose existence cannot be used as a coping mechanism for their fathers' anxieties? (no)
