The useless people here wrapping themselves in the language of social justice will use fear and urgency to get you tripping up. Urgency is vital, panic isn't urgency. Consistent actions matter. tiny.cc/reemhelp @pepsffk.bsky.social #keepfolksalive #MutualAidRequest

Man. A fifteen year old kid running too help a wounded man, murdered by a double tap strike from a drone that certainly saw him. Yet another thing I will not get over. Israel is a Nazi state. It was before, people just didn't want to see it, or admit that they saw it.

Exceptions to bestiality laws have to be in place for animal farmers to stay in business and out of jail. No, you read that correctly.

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

It’s not that I don’t care how you feel or even your opinions regarding abortion later in pregnancy….its that your feelings don’t fucking matter if that makes sense

republicans know that a democrat being transphobic will lose that dem votes. that's what the they/them campaign is about. it's not saying 'dems support trannies so vote for us'. it's about tricking dems in to being transphobic so they lose votes it's a trap and dems are stupid for falling for it

Trump said that if I didn’t vote for him, gas prices would double. It looks like he was right.

Is anyone actually upset by the Sweeney ad or are people assuming someone else is mad and writing based on that?

LATE NIGHT DONATION! 100/400 Mohamed checks his campaign daily so he’s likely seen this; i bet we’re both crying. money can’t protect his family from IDF violence, but it buys food + necessities, sends 6 kids to school, pays their small pocket money—it’s vital material support. bit.ly/help-mohamed

Did you know there's a "utopian scholastic" genre tag on Bandcamp that's all like synthy soundtracks from educational software and TV shows from the early '90s? (I want to make a joke about calling this "Encartacore", but I don't remember if Encarta had music.) trndytrndy.bandcamp.com/album/virtua

I swear this is the only thing people screeching about "parents rights" are ever concerned about

And of course the actual child at the center of all of it is deprived of a voice of what they want. They're treated as property of the parents and not a human being who has volition and can articulate that they have been abused by their parents.

Every time one of these stories comes out, it's shown that the parents were actually abusive. There is an asymmetry where the parents are given a platform by Christian nationalist orgs and Fox News while the state cannot discuss any details due to privacy. So the narrative is set by the parents.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

If you're trying to propose to people with trans children in their lives that their lives are a worthwhile sacrifice for other Democratic priorities, consider whether you'd be convinced that your children should be sacrificed for the greater good of someone else's family.

The economy is headed towards a debt spiral and that keeps me up at night. But people seem to think that an economic crash means “olly olly oxen free” and we all hit reset. No. Bills are STILL DUE in an economic crash.

i call this "neoteny of the oppressed" btw. because children are the archetypal objects of legitimate coercion (violence, authority, control, etc) any vulnerable group can have their autonomy stripped by first linking them to children & childlikeness. the comparison legitimizes any act of coercion

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄@goddessblade.bsky.social · 6d ago

Transphobia and the oppression of children are linked to the point that trans adults are often treated like de facto children. One way we see this is how we’re told continually that we don’t understand grown-up politics, as if our political concerns are childish and immature.

Hell of a thing to watch Democrats fuck up on trans rights the exact same way they did on abortion rights. The exact same play book, zero pattern recognition. Like, even aside from, you know, BASIC HUMAN DECENCY.

Have you donated any vegan essentials to a food bank recently? Plant milks, beans, cereals, rice, oats, pasta, tinned fruit etc?
