I'm no one special. But I see so many people seeming to give up already. NO! NO NO NO! It's not over. As long as one person keeps the flame of freedom and love for neighbor alive, the powers that be HAVE NOT WON! Nemik's Manifesto, from Andor, is worth reading, and remembering:
I learned this at one of the trauma panels at #aarsbl25 and yes, I completely agree. I don't have this, and it's something I have to think about as I move forward with my career. I have lots of casual friends but no one close.

there is so much to be glad of, to be grateful for.
the times are evil, the future is uncertain at a fundamental level, the powers of sin and death stand arrayed against all that which seeks the good of this world and those who live in it.
and there is still so much to be glad of.

Things like this make me agree with the endless screaming account.
Countries that have abortion access, DEI policies or protection for LGBTQ+ people will be considered “human rights violators“ by the Trump regime
We’re in the upside down.

Mine keeps making random turns down interesting looking streets
I think of my brain as a Maserati that spends 70% of its time in the shop waiting on some dumb little part to be imported from abroad
Similar here. I describe it as being in the car, revving the engine, but the gears aren’t so much stuck as unpredictable.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is a day when we in the trans community remember those who have been murdered or committed suicide in the last year. We read their names, so that they won’t be forgotten. For many of us, it is an emotional day. We know that it could have been us.

Say their names. ALL of them. Because I was almost one of them this year.

Today we remember and grieve all those we have lost. But we also commit – collectively – to fighting for those of us who are left. There will be hope as long as we continue to stand together.

I mean . . . I might actually be able to get on board with the SCA and the Penguins
The year is 2035. World War III enters its third year. The United States has reverse quadruple defected and is currently aligned with Lesotho, the Society for Creative Anachronism, and a rebel faction of penguins in the Falklands. NATO has applied for admission into Ukraine.

No. No they are not different. Ew.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

This is awful. So sorry to hear, @leximcmenamin.com . This is a true loss.
if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this.

Read this thread from Talia. Especially if you used to be evangelical. Stop with the black and white thinking and learn to see nuance
The way Westerners discuss conservatism and oppressed people in non-Western cultures is so utterly, irreparably broken.
I did not say "white", by the way. I'd have said "white" if I meant "white".

I agree with Dex to a point. Ableism IS a problem. Stupid is the wrong word. However, I do think the majority of my fellow citizens are WILLFULLY ignorant. The information is out there, can be simply explained, but they CHOOSE not to engage with it.
The number of people who responded to this with basically “no, my fellow Americans are stupid” is deeply concerning. Ableism runs deep in the left.
I want to gently push back on this: not being able to read complex writing is not the same as being a low information citizen. Many people can comprehend the topics involved just fine if they are presented in an accessible and understandable manner.

This. Exactly.
Seeing a lot of discourse around trans meds again.
I don't want anything to do with them.
If anyone is trying to gatekeep transness, you aren't welcome in any community I am a part of.
There is no magical threshold of "trans enough".
