We are currently living through several genocides not like anyone here ever notices because apparently it’s okay for perceived “bad” people to die along with women, children, and their whole families. Blaring cognitive dissonance and display of lack of empathy/awareness. Congo Gaza Sudan

BREAKING: in July 2026, *every single one* of the 2,528 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 10,255 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

And then next June @timhortonsofficial.bsky.social will put on some bullshit corporate Pride promotion after directly funding the genocide of trans people.

Just had a great zoom with a very talented undergraduate student from another country I would love to recruit. I really don't love telling students not to come here, but because our funding and visa situation is so volatile I can't in good conscience recommend a PhD in the US.

Yeah i can’t believe as an American I would also recommend NOT coming to the US rn for grad school

UC Davis will no longer pay the difference so that GRFP recipients earn the same as other students. So mid-PhD students will lose nearly 25% of salary & new students will make less than their peers. Apply for the GRFP, it’s a wonderful help to your career. Just don’t come here if you get one.

No one should ever go hungry. Libraries do all they can to help 💛 Video Description: Too many people don’t have access to food. Mychal stands in front of a Library, saying libraries try to help by offering summer meals to kids and teens. He points up to a library sign highlighting this resource ✨

It’s #DisabiltyPrideMonth and I’m not feeling much pride. Our medical system has been on the verge of collapse. And our gov spent all the money on a soccer party…they didn’t even win. If you watched #FIFA even worse enjoyed it, you and I are in different social class. Not politically aligned at all.

Sally Rooney said the European political class had “torn international law to shreds” and “made a mockery of their own voters” to retain their protected place in the US imperial system.

HM. IT'S ALMOST LIKE RATES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARE HIGHER AMONG GROUPS THAT ARE GIVEN UNLIMITED RESOURCES TO HARASS AND TERRORIZE PEOPLE UNDER THE LIE OF MAINTAINING SAFETY. WEIRD, RIGHT?!

A new study by the Mayo Clinic “identified persistent cerebral hypometabolism in Long Covid patients, especially those with fatigue with PEM, up to 2 years post-infection,” which is a reminder that some of us may be post-infection, but none of us are yet post-pandemic.

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.
