Support them. They have great authors. It's all weird and horrific and a lot of queerness. I've not been dissatisfied yet. I got stickers and a pin too 👑

sometimes people are like Well which of the two ways of non-binary are we talking about. And well, you see, that's the thing,

I came across this a while back and ended up saving it because it was so accurate and depressing

whoo this sentence really jumped out <<In one case, The Washington Post ran a front page story advertising the location for white servicemen to meet and carry out further attacks on black people in the city.>>

I think today's liberals in the US are used to a social environment where pogroms are rare and don't realize the role armed self defense plays in that state of affairs www.history.com/articles/red...

I'm starting to suspect that my tax dollars are going to munitions I'll never use, either

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d ago

People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

Appropriate air quotes because the most infuriating part about Americans debating "lockdown" is that it simply never happened. Having to pick up your Applebees and eat it on the sectional does not count. There wasn't even a brief moment where "everything" was closed. That's not real.

i'll add: it also shaped my idea of campaigning, the power of just being more annoying and inconvenient than the alternative. that's what terf law suits are, and it's what we need from trans allies

i dunno, that's not all that relevant but it shaped my worldview anyway, that every individual is worth the whole world

The ARCs for Backmask are available! If you're interested in reviewing a Sapphic Satanic Panic historical fiction thriller about a music producer with visions of his next hit, let me know! @haruspex-audio.bsky.social @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.
