Kids don't want socialism, they want socialism!!!! This is VERY contradictory if only SOMEONE would have SAID something in the form of a MANIFESTO about it

Data centers and immigration enforcement are two of America's biggest issues - and they've come together in little Springdale Borough, Pa. A team from @publicsource.org explored at the Allegheny River town's turmoil www.publicsource.org/how-ice-and-...

How ICE and a data center turned a small Pittsburgh suburb into a civic battleground

At the intersection of two major issues in the United States, Springdale stands divided. Now residents, organizers and local leaders are asking about policing, power and accountability.

In 1986, contracting HIV meant you were going to die, usually slowly, painfully, and alone. Now it's a chronic illness like hypertension. In 1986, gay and lesbian couples couldn't have their relationships legally recognized and had to adopt elaborate legal workarounds.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

I like the concept of sufficiency being added here because it does open the door for a discussion of CripTax. CripTax is, basically, when it costs a Disabled person more to live at the same or equitable level of comfort as a non-Disabled person.

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 3d ago

A good commissioner steps in now before every WNBA game becomes a rightwing performance space, like school board meetings were during peak CRT. You just have to throw the hammer down on this. Do not give them an inch.

Lynx official account casting shade

WNBA (the org) courted this. They could have nipped this in the bud, but instead they placated anti-trans activists, so now bigots have glomed onto them. If you don't tell them their opinions are vile and are unwelcome, they will destroy you or leech on you forever. just ask amnesty international

I really loathe the way terfs have managed to do the patriarchy's work for it by convincing people that trans rights and cis women's rights, particularly body autonomy, aren't THE SAME FUCKING ISSUE.

Full quote on Natalie Nakase’s answer to being asked about what she thinks about regarding the ongoing Sophie Cunningham/trans-athletes debate that's swept across the WNBA - kenzo fukuda on x "Im all about women, little girls deserving to play & that includes trans women...im all about inclusivity"

Good. Transphobes get out.

I am looking for PhD students and postdocs to join my lab at the University of Pittsburgh in Fall 2027. Anyone excited about urban evolution, hummingbirds, & community engagement, please reach out! And/or find me at #AOS2026 this week! More info here: www.valentina-alaasam.com

I get that it feels bad to be corrected. It feels bad to /me/ to be corrected and I understand and have thought about this stuff more than most people. But when we prioritize the feelings of those being harmful over the welfare of those being harmed we are perpetuating injustice.

This is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911-Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was read nationally in the US. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger. Patty Jo became a toy doll.

Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”

I had to stop reading the stupid Animorph’s dinosaur book because there was something near the end so heartbreaking to think about that I almost started sobbing. You cannot make me ponder a T.rex looking up at the night sky and wondering why it looks different. I’m going to throw up. 😭

I sincerely appreciate the way Mike is framing this. Anyone with experience in addiction, harm reduction, substance abuse disorder… can see the parallels. I hate genAI just as much as the next guy - I’m an artist, a writer, a teacher, and a researcher ffs. But I’m also an alcoholic. 😔😔😔
