Or, at the very least, antibiotics, fMRIs, the measles vaccine, and public water infrastructure

a university is not for generating profit, it provides cultural enrichment via weird little gremlin people who love visigoths or haikus, and very occasionally a scientist who figures out faster than light travel

I hate when one claims to be pro-law-enforcement and also wish to send the cops after people who have committed no crimes, but just happen to do something you don’t like. Doubly so for wishes to send ICE, because that’s a much more specific and disgusting kind of threat.

Not unexpected, but still sad about the folk who love Dungeon Crawler Carl all the way until vol 6 when their own sacred cow is gored. It’s ok to make fun of everybody else’s worldviews, but once Uzi Jesus comes out of the deck, they’re ready to Isaac Hayes the heck out of there. Alas, Babylon!

I’m once again pondering Becky Chambers’s oeuvre. Is there a compound German word for wanting a tea monk, and simultaneously wanting to be a tea monk? #psalmforthewildbuilt

What did veterans ever do to him? It’s a tough, underpaid job in an exploitative industry where people just trying for opportunity are used up by rich corporat… oh, I get it now.

That’s rather pithy. I love it.

As Michael Hobbes keeps saying, if you want to know if you might be falling for a moral panic, identify what you don’t need evidence to believe. Your reaction to hearing this should have been “that seems both impossible and absurd.”

One of the reasons they’re here and in power is because history HAS been too kind. I don’t foresee see a significant change in wypipo willingness to take responsibility for their own and their forebears part in the reification of whiteness as property, and resulting harm, without great effort

K Wilde@flowerchildob1.bsky.social · last wk.

People say history will not be kind to those in power right now. I'd prefer justice to not be kind to them, as history is generally whitewashed and ignored by the people who put them in power to begin with.

It certainly saved us from learning that the repeated and convincing success he had portraying small-minded bigots was the result of something other than excellent acting

JK Rowling is basically if you handed the Westburo Baptist Church a bag of infinite money and a whimsically yet problematically painted handgun to point at its targets.

“Regulations” are protections. We should call them that.

Abolition works, too. After the accountability, of course. Truth & reconciliation. Try them all, repair the harm, burn it down, salt the earth.

Must-read OpEd by @dianemgoldstein.bsky.social: "Despite changes in agency leadership and carefully worded statements about the importance of accountability, nothing about the underlying system appears to have changed."

"America imagines itself at once as a Beacon of Freedom and a White Republic. Those two things cannot be held together without contradiction and depositing a kind of madness at the heart of the country." - Eddie S. Glaude America, U.S.A. 2026

Remember kids, it isn’t ageism unless it originated in the (fictional) French region of Aage! Otherwise it’s just sparkling ableism.

Seriously, one of the most venally bigoted people on the earth. Each engagement with ANY of Moldemort’s work effectively endorses this legacy. It makes me sick that she has hijacked the joy we felt as youngers by corrupting the ideals of equality and inclusion we once read into her early works.

Don't fall for this. Rowling wants trans people to self censor and to stop sharing the report. If this report really was as defamatory as she claims, she wouldn't be cheering on its spread. What she really wants is a costly settlement from AI UK, humiliating apology, and permanent silence.
