In 2025, the Trump administration ended several consent decrees and many more investigations into police departments with histories of misconduct and violence.
This is part of Trump's "unleashing" of police.

The obsession with debates, rather than careful analysis and argument, is very much a part of #TheStupidestTimeline.
I get these overtures to debate this or that person and let me ask you something. Why, in god’s name, would I do that? Is this high school? Do I have abs again??? Stacked bangs? What’s debating do in 2025??

These are individuals who if every single show never had a person of color in the writer's room they would say it was just about competence and then wonder why people assume they think everyone else is incompetent
My favorite part was where he claimed a TV show wasn't allowed to hire white writers because all their writers were white.

There's a piece of this that people do not acknowledge: these ppl deeply believe white people are global and non-white people are meant to be contained. They belief that wealthy able bodied white people should be able to move & travel freely.

So I watched the Lemonhope episodes of Adventure Time and realized Lemonhope is a great analogy for
1) Solo poly communicating with KTP idealists, AND
2) siblings who escape abuse but don't want to be caregivers or tied to other siblings

#Polyamory Truth: Most folks need to challenge what they learned about relationships when they engage in polyamory, but that doesn't mean they have to give up everything resembling monogamy or monogamous culture.
What most matters is everyone is identifying their needs/wants & communicating.

My ADHD-friendly work flow has been:
1) Keep regular working hours and a meal routine. My brain REVOLTS against the schedule every day but it helps so so so much
2) Have several projects in progress at once, ideally different types of projects
3) Keep all active projects IN MY LINE OF SIGHT

Hot #ENM Take: Ultimatums only cause problems when they're weaponized over mundane and small matters, and by those who have no respect for their partners autonomy.
In larger life matters like living together, child-rearing, physical safety, etc. they can be unavoidable.

You're partner not feeling/thinking the way you believe they should think/feel may not be gaslighting or lying.
It may be them having a different emotional experience than you.

One of the most common things we learn about holidays is what is "normal". Often that involves obligation but we need to go beyond just assumption. We need to talk about expectation and why we get so hurt by the conversations we don't have

Cheating isn't a reason for polyamory. Cheating is a symptom of something else.
Can being in denial of a relationship style orientation contribute to cheating absolutely but yeah being poly isn't going to solve those issues even if it's part of the issue

Recently, we had someone reach out and ask why we don't consider hierarchy in polyamory innately unethical. And that's a very good question...

They’re citing burnout, mismatched corporate values and a desire to redefine success on their own terms.

A few very short poems written by me.
Here's one:
"Sometimes equality is…
Too quiet a word,
Too small a word,
A not-enough word,
A word not able to bear the weight of yesterday,
Not strong enough to carry tomorrow’s visions…
Sometimes equality does not say enough."

I'm getting a lot of responses from blue wave accounts talking about Trump. Frankly, that is already a known threat. What I'm trying to raise the alarm about here are the NYT, The Atlantic, and other reactionary news outlets that still carry legitimacy in liberal urban circles for some reason.

I had to share this reddit post because it perfectly captures the attitudes underlying why some folks are DEEPLY angry that anyone unlike them is visible in the world: They do not want their kids to know different people exist because knowledge is predatory. Knowledge is dangerous.

Here's a decades old fact the tech industry won't tell you: Facial recognition software is less able to accurately detect people of color, specifically darker skin; in some cases it is better with certain Asian demographics bc they're the developer-test subjects. Can we see the problem with this?
After years of articles on inaccuracy...
“ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match.. is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien,”

New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets
