Police unions are unions like AI is intelligence.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

I hope someday I am able to get better enough to make it happen again but it’s sometimes really hard not to feel really hopeless about it all when there’s no guarantee of getting better and we all live in a system built to let it just get worse

Weird to think about how I built a career doing creative work I love that was on a trajectory toward being somewhat financially sustainable and then I got sick and most of that has all fallen away in the couple years since

This 1000%! My very smart partner who works in education reads tons in the summer but barely cracks one open the rest of the year—I wonder why that is!

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

How much worse this will become as the internet continues to gentrify and corporatize as fascism escalates can only be guessed at, but I think the answer is in an aggressive return to physical media, relationships, and culture

This is one of the reasons so much of the discourse is so unfathomably disconnected from the material concerns of the most marginalized—for more people than ever before in history, queerness is something that takes place primarily mediated by a screen

Once upon a time you stayed closeted, found local acceptance, or moved to cities with thriving and specific subcultures. Now there are so many people who live second lives online as who they really are while remaining closeted in all ways that matters—it sucks to see!

The internet created space for people to put words to their queerness and find community where they feel they can't find it irl, but I worry this is a stopgap that keeps many in a kind of arrested development who would pre-internet be forced to go out and find in person community
