Our traumatized nervous system is going to fall right into feeling controlled, trapped, and/or in trouble if we try to force ourselves to do things. Don't try to bully or pressure yourself.

Think I'm going to try this behavior for two minutes, & always leave yourself an out.

I like Mastodon, have been on/off for years & basically every time I try to Make It Do Something, I feel pretty stupid. The problem is that "a little bit of effort" is required constantly. That's good if your goal is to learn new things, but not if your goal is to, you know, post on social media.

This strategy is conventional wisdom for a lot of people and the funny thing is how it never ever actually works to win national elections.

one thing I learned during 2020 is that "less than lethal" munitions are explicitly designed to be shot into the ground so they lose velocity and bounce up into people and the reason I didn't know that before is literally NO ONE has ever deployed them that way.

Reporter's notebook: I actually began working on this story shortly after footage of the incident showed up last month.

But by the time I finally got ahold of folks, the story grew: 2 *other* faith leaders I spoke with *also* reported being shot w/pepper balls while protesting this ICE facility.

I think this is true, but it's been unexpectedly useful to be able to see that a person who's just followed me is following 12.3k other people, because then I know this is not a serious person and I can just ignore them.

Along those lines, have you ever seen John Ganz' Jock vs. Creep theory of fascism? It's living rent-free in my head right now. It signed a 99-year lease and isn't making any payments whatsoever.

It is totally legal to vote not guilty if you think a law or an application of a law is bullshit, even if you think there is enough evidence to convict.

Like I'm sorry, but the AI weirdos have DELIBERATELY created this confusion 100% so they can capitalize on the assumptions people who don't understand the difference will make.

This was the endgame of all the AI bros! no one knowing the difference!

Sorry they created this mess BUT THEY DID!

One reason former Republicans have been better at opposing Trump than many progressives is because they correctly understand that the GOP’s descent into fascism represents a dramatic shift, and is therefore scarier, where the latter groups feel the need to argue it’s just a continuation of trend

I've said it before but the main reason why democracy is the superior system is that, while the average person is a moron, the average elite is even more moronic
