You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

I gotta sleep but everyone please take this moment as a prompt to check in with friends and make sure everyone is on the same page with your wishes: Do you want to be woken up when it happens or not?

Believe Women is an epistemological stance. It doesn't mean you assume that every single woman is telling the truth and women never lie. It means you understand that in the system that we exist in, there's much more risk and pain for women coming forward about abuse than there is anything to gain.

I say it often but once again: By granting them borrowing privileges and protecting their privacy, public libraries afford children a form of civic standing and respect that has few parallels in our “free” society, which mostly treats children as chattel. Vociferously defend public libraries. 📚

I am so fucking tired of woman having to stand on a national stage and tear their hearts open and pour their trauma out in front of the entire country. And still not be believed. Or be told it doesn’t matter because we need her assaulter. I’m so tired of it.

The reason racism is solvable is that it in no way biological destiny. White people aren't genetically constructed to do wrong, they can always choose not to, & we always have the choice at every moment to deconstruct whiteness & get rid if of it collectively.

you: Please, dr moreau. your unholy creations are an affront to god. creatures of land should not combine with creatures of the sea. a baby belongs with its mother sheep, not imprisoned within a pearlescent shell until you see fit to pry open its hinges dr moreau: clamb

The place I donate blood gives points that you can exchange for gas cards which means I actually know the current exchange rate of blood for oil. Blood is going for 20.618 times an equivalent amount of oil.

wow lots of people following me from (i think) the trans speculative author list...hi! i wrote a poetry collection about disorderly eating + psychiatric abuse + when one's lived realities become sites of unlimited body horror...maybe you'll "like" it?

so strange to bookpost in times like these™. but my debut poetry collection, Differential Diagnosis, coming out with @nupress.bsky.social in two months! it's about embodied and enminded noncompliance w/ institutional medicine, disorderly eating, being trans, all the usual Cavar fare. Buy it here:

Originally, I was going to quote tweet this and flippantly describe @cavar.bsky.social as Mad Baddie and Bad Maddie, but I was so moved by this interview that I just want to strip away defensive irony and earnestly rally to the flag of Madness held by my comrade and friend and hero.
