My husband's school was shut down about 6-8 weeks total and he was back in the classroom with almost no precautions and our governor racing toward actually banning mask mandates, but folks on twitter were still going all in on how teachers & their immunocompromised spouses just should STFU & die. 🤷

If you couldn't locate Greenfield on a map of Massachusetts without looking it up, you don't need to be commenting on the house policies of a lesbian bar there. You can sit this one out, I promise.

working on a theory of history called "the worst guy" theory basically whatever movement you create will eventually come to be controlled by its worst guy, and will likely be defined by its worst guy, so you gotta be really vigilant about figuring out where your threshold for worst guy is

I get really annoyed seeing so many people say "Since everyone uses AI to write papers..." or "Referee reports now are just written by AI..." Look: Everything I have written has, for better or worse, been my own writing. Don't project your cynical expectations on my work. Seriously, screw gen-AI.

look, you can't just punish trump when dems are in power. that might make republicans do something crazy, like stage a coup, illegally shred the federal bureaucracy, or even vstart abducting people off the street and extraditing them to torture sites all over the world

It's not like trans people haven't been beating on this fucking drum forever. And yet, some of y'all still act surprised when we say "no." "No" is all we have left.

Legacy news challenge: Write about fascists like how you write about some random lesbian bar's mask policy or public school kids wanting to play sports with their friends

We could probably get some cool stuff done fast if everyone in charge of crafting a shared reality for us didn't try to make the weirdest scariest shit just like normal Wednesday news this is weird! You can write it so it sounds weirder than this! You're the news! You get to decide how you write!!

Bisexuality does not require you to have dated X number of people Y times to count. You attracted to more than one gender? Cool. You count. Anyone saying otherwise is a jerk.

Imagining a guy who's anxious for Andrew Tate to beat the charges so he can write more Substacks

Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 6h ago

What gets you booted from Substack? Andrew Tate still seems to have a newsletter there while charged with: 10 counts of rape, 3 of trafficking for sexual exploitation, 3 of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, & making/distributing indecent images of a child. possessing extreme pornography.

the "AI could make humanity extinct within a decade" stuff likely comes at this point in the AI bubble for a reason one, it provides an excuse for the slowdown in AI investment and revenue loss two, it enables the time-honored scam artist tactic of creating a problem and selling the solution

The foundation of an anti-vax hypothesis is “Eureka! I can make money off this bullshit!” That’s it, that’s the science, nothing else, the realization that the world is full of rubes and you can cash in by killing them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/u...

I'm waiting to hear someone running say 'financial forensics' and then that prob will be my rooting interest in a primary

this administration illegally shut down federal agencies, impounded money from Congress, set up for-profit concentration camps and sent children there. They dismantled our public health infrastructure and children died of measles. Doing accountability for crimes against our Constitution is the work.

I know someone who had Long Covid, who has Covid right now, for the past week. Yesterday she was able to sit up in bed for a half an hour.

I know you’re now rolling your eyes and going “ughhh Bluesky scolllld” and I’m going to tell you right this very second you have absolutely no idea, not one fucking clue, the trauma there is from the social isolation that immunocompromised people have faced since Covid started.

@marypeltola.com I want to put this in terms an Alaskan hunter might understand. When an armed hunting party goes drunken into the woods, yelling about how much they hate deer, chanting and singing their hatred, are they a threat to the deer?

That thought also reminds me of an article from last December about the "canaries" who warned of Trump's dangerous authoritarianism in 2017 or before and have no wavered from that assessment even as they've been given the full Cassandra treatment. @polphilpod.bsky.social

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned

Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

Many liberals on here share the same views as Ted Cruz, it seems. Some of y'all are even using the same ableist language as him

they also published a transphobic op ed the exact same day. and their subscriber numbers went way up. the bigotries are out in the open but because they're two of the most accepted bigotries in society (transphobia and ableism) they get a pass

Hey so uhhhhh that Boston Globe story about the lesbian bar relaxing its covid rules is an *absolute fucking hit piece* targeting the disabled, chronically ill, and covid-conscious and it would be great if folks sharing and joking about it could recognize that framing.

Bold move, since Duckworth is up for re-election in 2028. I hope someone runs against her, makes her justify her "no impeachment" stance

Meredith Shiner@meredithshiner.com · 10h ago

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

i strongly suspect the reason that they are hiding this is not because cops are moonlighting for ICE contractors off duty but because many of them are working for ICE contractors *while clocked in*

LAPD cops working for ICE contractors off duty — while the department fights to keep its moonlighting records hidden. That is the accusation now being leveled directly at LAPD leadership after a judge ordered the records turned over.

Dems replaced action on trans rights with hollow statements, then dropped those statements, then embraced anti-trans rhetoric. Now supporting anti-trans laws and blocking pro-trans ones. At every step the "they're betraying us" radicals were correct and "be patient" liberals were completely wrong.

Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited future governors from handing over abortion providers, helpers, and patients to red states for criminal prosecution. The bill also barred extraditions involving transgender care.

Moral panics are manufactured concerns created to push an agenda, don't hold up under scrutiny, and the fallout always harms more people than will ever be helped. Stand up for trans people.

Micah@rincewind.run · yesterday

stand up for trans people: it is the right thing to do and it just will not hurt you, not now, not in this environment and maybe folks can start to relearn that trans people are pretty fucking cool, actually
