As a white woman, I would like to emphasize for my cohort, LISTEN to those who’ve been working for a while. DO NOT Bigfoot yourself into a group already doing the work. Listen, learn, follow directions when you participate. If you’re lucky enough to work with BIPOC-led group, LISTEN & LEARN.

Well said.
For all the USA people posting, “Dear Canada. We’re sorry. Love, America,”…
We know what’s going on in your country. We’re paying attention; we have some of the same problems here. We get it.
We don’t want you to be sorry. We want you to clean up your fascists. I hope we can shut ours down too.

Big time 🚨 energy. Calling all of the 🧪 feed. Please re-skeet.
From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Post a cover from your favourite @gailsimone.bsky.social comic you think other people may not have read.

I've decided the best way to deal with the times is with uplifting Can-con classic rock, loud. How about...

The concept from economics of "diminishing returns" can be perfectly experienced by eating twenty Dorito chips in a row.

If you're into ttrpgs, particularly solo rpgs, and you don't know much about Ironsworn, I highly recommend checking out this video.

“Now, there's this about cynicism, Sergeant. It's the universe's most supine moral position. Real comfortable. If nothing can be done, then you're not some kind of shit for not doing it, and you can lie there and stink to yourself in perfect peace.”
Preemptive surrender masquerading as cynical weariness is absolutely virulent rn, and we could probably be doing a better job on the whole of calling it out.
If "the rule of law is dead" no resistance matters beyond performance art, and that's just not a thing we have the luxury of conceding.

I usually say "money buys margin," which is to say, if shit happens, you don't have to scramble to deal with it. When my cat had a urinary tract infection two weeks ago that could have killed him, I didn't have to choose between him and an electric bill, or groceries. That's margin.
Money doesn't buy happiness but it buys security. Not having the anxiety of losing everything if you lose your job or are hospitalized is far better than happiness. Someone who tells you money doesn't buy happiness doesn't appreciate the feeling of security.
