it’s so tough to log onto this website full of the supposedly preeminent thinkers of our time and hear again and again both handwringing about our extraordinary present challenges and derisive annoyance (and worse!) at those ~*~forever covid wackos~*~ as if they are disconnected when…

hate to be such a broken record, but as a lupus patient who could not access my hydroxychloroquine due in no small part of members of that over-exposed charlatan class, it’s infuriating to me that the conversation—like our culture—seems to desire stagnation over taking responsibility for our present

…in crisis after crisis, the folks who’ve taken the time to understand both the risks & the tools are also the ones who get them—at little to no cost—to communities. these are groups of often predominantly disabled ppl doing what gvmts should be being regularly met with contempt—& its infuriating.

obviously i’d prefer none of this happen, but it is. that’s how a lot of us felt during the last administration, when “back to normal” pushed people— you?— into a false sense of complacency, so we organized. who were the people prepared when LA burned? when measles returned? who’s ready right now?

I am honestly pretty entertained about the prospect of Britain and Argentina having a second Falklands war over Israel. I think we should have a game show where people can vote on the next historical conflict to rerun.

The number of Palestinians who had to die before some people came around to “murdering Palestinians is bad, actually” I’m glad you get it now but I really hope you think deeply about the moral rot that allowed you to see it otherwise so that you have a real relationship with “never again”

One Woman’s Message From the Hell of ICE Detention

My husband, son, and I have been locked up for months—despite being permanent residents with no criminal record. It is an unendurable, unending nightmare.

one of our cats has been hiding and acting really unhappy for the last two days and i'm worried as shit

I know people are like "he's using it in the broader white people context" but I don't actually think that's ok. It's ceding linguistic ground to the people who said "woke" when they knew they'd get in trouble for saying "Black".

“My daughter loves to bake so my agent plans personalized recipes for us to make together each weekend.” Of all the things I don’t believe in this manifesto, the thing I don’t believe THE MOST is that Mark Zuckerberg has normal fucking weekend routines with his kid.

For example, my agent flags interesting information and helps me prototype ideas.
It helps keep me healthy by monitoring my sleep and then watching as I train and giving feedback. My daughter loves to bake so my agent plans personalized recipes for us to make together each weekend, orders the ingredients, and then offers suggestions as we're baking.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

I just saw that interview AOC did where she quoted someone else saying "woke 1.0 was crazy" and I'm so annoyed. Alot of the convo I see around this is as I saw someone mention in some YT comments just the centrists/center-left ceding the framing of the abolition movement to the right.

I encourage everyone to learn a little about human kinetics. At the very least on how to treat and use your joints in a way that will keep em in tippy top shape~ You wanna be able to lift your own body weight safely in old age (i.e. stand up without falling)!!
