An annual reminder:

The cognitive & emotional toll of staying in contact with abusive family can be both significant & difficult to recognize.

There's a kind of social contract that abusive parents have violated. You owe them nothing. Nothing.

Thanksgiving doesn't change that.

Catholic sisters are all about doing the thing, not talking about the thing.
In the US, Catholic sisters return Wisconsin land to Ojibwe tribe in a historic first. The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have transferred a lakefront property to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for the same $30,000 they paid in 1966.

For the first time, Catholic sisters return land to a Tribal nation
"This return represents more than the restoration of land — it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked."

I usually create a thread of options for people who would like to donate to a Native cause or struggle, but it has gotten HARDER to fundraise on socials over the past couple of years, so I am zeroing in on one ask this year. Pls support Native organizing infrastructure: nativeorganizing.org/donate/

I always see lots of "here how to deal with your bigoted family" posts around this time and, you can just leave. Just go. That's your only power if you're one of the childless peripheral family member people
"But I can't-" you can, trust me. Make it clear why and then leave

99% of Discourse could be avoided if people simply accepted that multiple things can be true at the same time, and often are. The universe isn't divided neatly into heroes and villains. Humans are messy and complicated. Everyone always thinks they're the good guy, no matter how awful they are.

We need it. Not only are the classes full, but also concert halls, libraries - we've gone to a bunch of classical concerts this year as an antidote to despair and guess what - they are full. They were not as full before, but they are now.

"Humanities are shrinking" is artificially imposed top down.
"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

There need to be social consequences for enacting anti-evidence policies that kill kids.

One of Danielle Smith’s staffers just called me over (??) at an event wanting to say hi.

Once I realized who she was, immediately questioned her about trans rights.

"ICE and the Israeli Military Are 2 Sides of the Same Coin -

We Must Resist Both.

Opposing ICE in the US while backing genocide in Gaza is senseless. These struggles are intertwined."

I just want to remind everyone, again, that before you start talking about smug shitlibs like Gavin Newsom as inevitable “because no one else will stand up to Trump”: nobody had heard of Zohran Mamdani a year ago, and heretofore, nobody has humiliated DJT as effortlessly. life comes at you fast

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship.

She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

@dansinker.com we’ve got graphic whistle cards that work great when you don’t have a common language with all your neighbors. And lightens translation loads on very diverse neighborhoods.

We punch a hole and put it on a key ring.

Why the Fuck are we saying literally ANYTHING positive about Sarah McBride on fucking Trans Day of Remembrance? She's literally been trying to sell us all out from day one from the fucking bathroom bullshit to blaming trans activists for transphobia

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
