Let us disdain the world in poetry and prose, even as it poisons us.

It is so weird that there are people who can lose billions and be fine at their job. One time at Starbucks my drawer was off by a dollar and my job was in jeopardy. 😅

every couple of weeks some entity or orginization tries to float gavin newsom for president and every couple weeks i post some version of "gavin newsome sucks ass and everyone who likes him is a stupid nerd" and i guess that's just how it's gonna be for the next few years

A cool thing I just realized. Bluesky’s positivity algorithm means if you are replying to brands or companies with about their treatment of workers, how their products are poor quality or have ethical issues your reply will likely be hidden because it’s not “positive” Fun!

and their only example of why radicalization against the failing status quo is bad was DOGE, e.g. the far right doing whatever they want. Liberalism is just being resigned to permanent failure as politics.

It's simple: if they do this then, people will not work for minimum wage. Every business and corporation will have to treat its people well, and to pay them more, thus making profits go down for them. It is because billionaires do not want solutions, but more money hoarding.

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Trans people have exhaustively detailed the links between the anti-trans and anti-abortion movements, we warned that transphobia was a wedge issue for the religious right to roll back women's rights, only for us to be ignored, and of course UK TERFs are setting their sights on abortion.

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies. This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

What progressives won’t say about abortion
The sanitised narrative ignores ethical truths

Today is an excellent day to restore Link’s account, as other people who did the exact same thing were only given short suspensions. He was one of the most positive voices here and he deserves to be reinstated.
