We aren't fighting fascism right now

and most people aren't willing to admit that because they don't want to say

" I am invested in a world where I am UNABLE to wield certain privileges when I am uncomfortable"

I long for the day that people stop using smugness about astrology in order to look smart

Neil needs to keep the word “astrology” out of his mouth, respectfully. Because the man does not know what he’s talking about when it comes to this subject, and it’s embarrassing for everyone.

If I get extrajudicially got because I did research and writing about fascism being bad, you all need to scream from the rooftops that who they got was a mom of young kids who volunteers at a preschool.

I will haunt each and every one of you if you do not

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

As you fight ICE in your neighborhoods, always look for potentially positive outcomes to counterbalance your anger and despair. For me this continues to be meeting more neighbors, talking to more neighbors, and finding that others close by have also been fighting in ways I was unaware of.

It is amazing how much the brain does when you tell it to take a break and go on a walk.

Mariah McCourt @monsterteatime.bsky.social · 13h

When I struggled with something writing-wise I take a walk. And 100% of the time I end up figuring out the solution. I would never, ever, ever, ask a machine to do that for me. Wtf.

I hate it when people do the "tell me one good thing, what's something great going on in your life?" bit. I can never think of anything on the spot and they're just standing there looking at you like "this poor son of a bitch"

Dolly Parton has been a good person all her life. She does so many kind things for people. Compare that to someone like JK Rowling who wakes up every day and decides to be an absolute asshole.

I sincerely hope that my friends don’t mind this. 😬

I know it’s not technically polite, but I love having a conversation with other people who are comfortable with short interjecting interruptions. To me it makes the conversation feel more like something we’re weaving together rather than alternating individual presentations. It feels more alive.

I have a friend who is so totally offline despite being as online as I am and I'm trying hard to be like "what would she do? Would she post? No, she wouldn't care and would just move on" and then I do that.
Friends make us better etc etc

Wanna hear some good news? My college students are using gen AI way less this year than in previous years. They LIKE drafting by hand, and their typed work is full of human heart (and errors).

It's a huge shift. ❤️

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”
