The Protestant work ethic with the glaring exception that rich people are allowed to hook each other up.
this ship has sailed, but the people whose conditions were most locked down were the people in prisons who had no PPE and no health care. some even got coerced into making eleven million gallons of hand sanitizer in New York, a bunch of which went to waste
New York made 11M bottles of hand sanitizer. Now it has 700,000 gallons it can't get rid of.
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered the production of the hand sanitizer by the state's prison system. A spokesperson said he makes "no apologies for single-handedly solving a hand sanitizer shortage."

Moses killed a mighty pharaoh and an entire imperial army by raising his staff. He was lied to his entire life, unleashed plagues, death, frogs and chaos, and finally knocked off his adoptive relative when he came to enslave his people. And he's celebrated too for it. That's the interesting part.
I really appreciated Angela Davis' clarification in a webinar that most of us were not subjected to a lockdown as us sheltering in place in our homes could not remotely compare to the carceral experience of COVID, especially when we know how many folx died from it in the prison-industrial complex! 👀
My friends were living in Shanghai in 2020 and THAT was an actual lockdown
Kashana@kashana.blacksky.app · 3d agoLockdown people are so funny. They pull out their hair at the fact that schools were closed for five minutes, and then you ask them if they actually want to educate poor and minority children and they’re like of course not

Loki. Stolen from his people and then lied to about it for his entire life.

A message and video from my friend Tasneem in Gaza: "A house has been bombed. We are now living through unimaginable terror. Fear surrounds us from every direction, and we don’t know what will happen in the next moment." Please give to Tasneem. No amount is too small. 💕 chuffed.org/project/1587...
Running in and out for one thing is no problem. But if I have to go shopping, two stores is my absolute max

Yeah, but so is acid house. So I still consider it a win.
Anything’s possible on this timeline
the yarddog@stevetav.bsky.social · 5d agoWill this bring acid rain back too?
I regret to inform you that the worst of the 80s is back: acid washed jeans
wnba has shown that a lot of people who are “progressive” in a lot of ways will stop just short and do weird transphobic shit (hey stewie) so unfortunately can’t be 100% sure without evidence
MIL called to let us know that one of her nephews died suddenly yesterday. This is just two weeks after his brother was buried. If I were their parents, I'd never leave my bed again.
Congratulations to everyone who worked hard both through the organizing campaign and the contract! It's a stain on ProPublica's board and management that this has taken so long. You all do incredible fearless work and I hope this leads to your employer respecting you all without question. ♥️
ProPublica Guild@propublicaguild.org · 5d ago🚨 WE HAVE A DEAL! After three years, in a major step forward for our members, we have ratified our first contract with @propublica.org’s management. We deeply appreciate everyone who supported us along the way. Here are some of our big wins👇

I am by no means perfect, but I can rest assured that I do not instigate conflict to avoid addressing my own insecurities. I grind my teeth, lose my appetite, and keep myself awake at night like a goddamn adult.
Any Dem candidate for 2028 who won’t commit to never hiring anyone involved in Biden’s Israel/Palestine policy shouldn’t be taken seriously
Perry Bacon@perrybaconjr.bsky.social · 6d ago"What does it matter that Sullivan or Blinken claim that they were sad or upset when they went to bed every night — it doesn’t matter to the person being bombed. It is irrelevant. So, as a journalist, why does it matter to you? It’s not verifiable." citationsneeded.medium.com/news-brief-v...
The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.

I couldn’t believe I was listening to a sitting MoC, it was a great interview
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 7d agoVan Hollen's interview with Peter Beinart was extremely impressive and arguably makes him the most left wing would be candidate on Palestine for 2028.
one of the biggest myths about #adoption is that most or even many adopted people are orphans. Almost none of us is a true orphan. We were orphaned by a sociolegal system, not by death or fate.
Dr. Sandra Steingraber 🏳️🌈@ssteingraber1.bsky.social · last wk.🥚 A story as old as the adoption industry itself: Brazilian adoptee discovers she wasn’t abandoned in basket after all. She was stolen from her mother, assigned a new birthday, and spirited out of the country with forged documents. Adoption = corruption swedenherald.com/article/adop...
