i really have no patience whatsoever for people who are scared of muslims having elected office

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot

As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Happy 40th birthday to Lily Gladstone, and I will forever be pissed that Emma Stone took home the Oscar for Best Actress instead of her.

Lily Catherine Gladstone was born #40yearsagotoday. Gladstone appeared in "Killers of the Flower Moon." The next year, Gladstone became the first Indigenous woman to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress. She is also the first Indigenous woman to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. #xyearsagotoday

I feel really sad for Ariana Grande. Ppl are not gonna be happy until either: A) She’s forced to reveal a medical condition she wanted to keep private or, even worse, B) Forced to publicly admit she’s dealing with disordered eating. What an absolutely cruel situation to put someone else in.

Globally, we need to grieve the height of Covid-19

I feel like I see way more mutual aid requests lately. Heartbreaking. Like this life isn't sustainable. How can the masses help each other if the masses barely have anything?

To build your homes and towns, they burned us out of our villages and huts. To think this wouldn’t find you is the folly of the settler. My heart breaks, but it breaks differently.

15,000 years ago, in one of the the earliest settled communities in the world, a child collected fine clay from the slow-moving river by her home. She then committed an act familiar to all inveterate play-doh enthusiasts; rolling and and pinching the squishy clay into tiny round balls.

Some people can be an open book where you can ask them anything but not be so open to where they’re vulnerable unprompted.

Women should always be strict. Matter fact, BE MORE STRICT!

Currently rocking my doula baby and every second I get to hold her is making my soul happier

We need to bring yearning back.

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 keep thinking about how we decry the alienation of capitalism on one hand but some progressive organizations and collectives are turning to gen ai tools for stuff they would have asked someone to volunteer for just a few years back.

Yall have to forgive me if I ever quote you and start rambling. Whatever you said sparked a thought and we might not end up where YOU started but it makes sense in MY head 😅😅

if anybody ever accuses me of using AI I'm not worried because no generative fuckshit could even HOPE to come up with the creativity of insults I have waiting for y'all

climate change will manifest as a series of people giving condescending explanations of disasters to those living through them, getting closer and closer to where you live until you’re the one being condenscended to

It's not abnormal. It's a paradigm change.

For anyone who wonders if dogs can tell time, Krissy, who is on an overnight trip, usually takes Charlie for a walk at 8:00 a.m. in the morning. Precisely at 7:59 a.m., the dog walked into my office with this expression on her face. Guess what we're gonna do now.

Faaaaak 😩
