I'm just another nerdy progressive enby GenX weirdo trying to leave the world a little better than I found it.
Yesterday, my 18-year-old called someone out for treating him like garbage. They talked over him, interrupting him every time he spoke, and repeatedly disrespected him. I'm assuming they behaved so abhorrently because of his age, but I can't know for certain since I won't speak to them again.

Just a quick reminder that beauty exists. I've been in a dark place, but VoicePlay is my happy place.

Marco Rubio in Canada: "The president has made his argument as to why he thinks Canada would be better off joining the United States."
And Canadians have made their argument as to why Trump can go fuck himself.

I love seeing all the protests, here and abroad, against these smug, fascist traitors.
We're fighting a class war & as a child of the 60's & 70's, I know that if people band together, we can win the fight against these assholes.

I already loathed Newsom for being centrist garbage who pretends to be progressive when it gets him points, but ugh. Can we get some Dems with a spine who stand up for marginalized folks instead of throwing them under the bus whenever it's politically convenient?

Lol. All the anti-trans, reflexively contrarian, “anti-woke” scientists have contributed to a book about how science is under attack.
Somehow, there are no chapters dedicated to how Republicans are decimating research and firing experts.

It's striking to see the impressive speed and unity with which our government can ban an app where the poors are talking, considering how woefully ineffective they've been at stopping school shootings, slowing climate change, and listening to demands to stop funding a genocide.

Here’s why it doesn’t matter if Musk did this apparent N*** salute on purpose or meant anything by it:
All the N***s in the crowd and watching at home think it was on purpose and are emboldened by it, no matter what he says or does now.
