If the existence of trans people is knowledge restricted to adults, a lot of trans people will never make it to adulthood.

I will never forgive the entertainment industry for convincing so many people that persistence in the face of rejection is a successful courtship strategy or that a grand romantic gesture can substitute for actual two-way communication

@nytimes In Portland we modestly cut the police funding back to 2017 levels. According to a whistleblower in 911 dispatch, the Police starting clearing emergency calls w/o responding and GPS showed them parked in the same spot for hours. This is a stoppage by a protection racket.
Weird how $300/week in unemployment is a "handout" but $1.9 trillion in tax cuts, $800 billion in PPP and trillions to prop up the stock market is a "stimulus"

Thread about MAGA violence and calling it out. MTG's comments aren't just about Nazis. Her words are in line with a narrative of Trumpism: endorsing violence or threat of violence for political gain, a throughline from 2016 to 1/6 to disenfranchisement efforts. 1/https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1396205444117536775

This is in a New York Times article about people in rural Oregon counties who wish to secede from the state and join Idaho. They feel their interests aren't represented in the state.
I'm sympathetic to their point—I believe everyone should have as direct control as possible in the systems that govern their lives—but golly, conflating the two ideas as they have done here is very indicative of the modern American conservative movement.

Without the leverage of a work stoppage and public demonstrations, companies would never agree to any union demands.
Don’t be fooled: A law that doesn’t allow strikes or picketing doesn’t allow unions. #UnionStrong

These people are so desperate to uphold a white supremacist mythology about this country that they are literally introducing bills that would, in essence, compel teachers to straight up lie about how racism shaped our current society. nytimes.com/2021/05/20/us/…

If you pay even the slightest attention, you'll see clearly, every one of these right-wing alleged free speech defenders actually believes that what they call "cancel culture" is excellent and valid and good. They just want it to stay as it always has: targeted at others.

Arguing with me is a privilege reserved for those I already have a trusting relationship with.
This is a rule of thumb I'm trying to stick to in order to keep my brain healthy on global-scale social spaces like Twitter.

Or: they want to be able to finish the job of wrecking democracy. Which is why they’ve been denying what happened. Burying violence creates the conditions for more violence and keeps perps free for next round of action.

Ah, that's my boy. I'm pretty sure he hitchhiked from the Willamette Valley up to Ontario, singing songs and writing poems to pay for passage.
He will be welcomed back at his new home. I mean his home. Where he definitely lives.
Do you recognize this cat? He is a very big, very friendly kitty who is about 2 years old. He was found on a forested trail in Rockwood by a kind family who brought him to #UCHS. Please contact the shelter at 519-833-2287 if you recognize him.
2/ It does not mean, "I have known I am pregnant for six weeks." It means, "The first date of my last menstrual period was six weeks ago."
