“Good doesn’t just exist to change the world, but in spite of it.”

I don't think we've confronted the fact that the perceived excesses of the "woke" agenda are coded feminine, and the actual excesses of the Trumpist agenda are coded masculine. Given how deeply misogyny is embedded in US society (and not just), it's obvious why the latter won that contest.

‘Woke’ didn’t lose the US election: the patrician class who hijacked identity politics did | Nesrine Malik

Why is this simple explanation being so widely embraced? Because it does not require a commitment to real, structural change, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Raskin made a holy shit observation on MS Now this afternoon: Since taking office, Trump has made a million dollars per hour for himself. Every hour, he has made more than twice the president’s annual salary.

So often what are called “culture wars” are one set of people saying “please can we live without perpetual persecution” and another saying “no, f*** you” but the press considering the latter group have “legitimate concerns” and must be perpetually platformed

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.

My sister took this little #opossum in about a month ago after its mom abandoned it in a nasty alley behind a dumpster. Lately I’ve been tossing him my peach pits after I finish the fruit, and he loses his mind over them. This little trash alley opossum has turned out to be pretty damn cute. 🍑🩶

A light gray and white opossum sits inside a wire enclosure, happily eating a peach pit while looking toward the camera. The enclosure contains a plush purple hanging hammock with a cream-colored interior, a teal hideaway, soft fleece bedding, and an autumn leaf-patterned fabric backdrop. Warm indoor lighting gives the scene a cozy feel, while the cage bars frame the curious opossum as it enjoys its snack.
