Texas, the voter registration deadline is coming up next week. If you live in Texas and want to vote, be sure to check that you are registered properly — even if you you think you did what you had to. A statewide database to check: goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-mvp-ui/...

*raises hand* Given the sheer number of societies that engaged in exo-cannibalism (at least occasionally), most of which did not subsequently engage in colonialism, what makes European cannibalism uniquely special?

See, now I'm wondering why the cat can open a sliding closet door and all the cupboards but not the sliding screen door to the backyard. I guess hanging from the screen is more fun. 🤷‍♂️

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

Burning incense or other herbs is cool, but white sage (Salvia apiana) is sacred to certain Native tribes and being overharvested (often illegally) from the wild, two good reasons to avoid sage bundles.

Tired of ICE mercenaries terrorizing your community? Afraid that they're going to murder yet another person—perhaps one of your neighbors? Find out where they sleep. Go there and make sure they cannot sleep. It's easy enough. Here's how people did it in Minnesota: crimethinc.com/noisedemos

crimethinc.comThe Noise Demonstrations Keeping ICE Agents Awake at Their HotelsParticipants in the noise demonstrations targeting hotels that house federal agents in the Twin Cities recount their experiences and explain how this tactic might be employed elsewhere.

Studies have shown that authoritarians (which a lot of Republicans are) get more bigoted as their lives improve since then they have more time and energy to dedicate to being the culture police.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

REI workers did not make this decision lightly, but the company has left us with no choice. We’re boycotting May 15-25 and taking action to hold them accountable, supported by more than 70,000 REI members.

From a certain point of view, all modern vampire media is this. I mean, when was the last time you heard of a fat, ruddy-faced vampire who went around killng their family members. Historically that's what European vampires were.

Has anyone actually read that Alexa-makes-kids-talk-rudely paper? Because it's JUST A ONE-PAGE THOUGHT EXPERIMENT. No data, just possible concerns. And maybe they're legit, but the paper itself provides no data, no evidence, just "this could happen"-s. Here's the whole thing:

NEW: The President once again called to eliminate federal library funding in his federal budget proposal. We have been here before. And when we make our voices heard, we can overcome this again. Tell your Senators to reject the cuts & #FundLibraries in next year's federal budget: ala.org/showup

Ignoring your hardcore users is one thing, but Bluesky employees have been actively hostile to them, repeatedly. Of course the hardcore users no longer trust them!

I also suspect a big part of the backlash is that dedicated users have a long list of features that we've been requesting for years now - and this was absolutely not on that list. (The ability to make accounts private is the most important unrealized feature. I know it's hard! But it's key.)

We've got to stop Trump's farm worker wage cuts. Their H-2A rule change drastically cuts wages for H-2A farm workers and local workers alike. We filed suit in federal court to block it, but lawsuits take a long time and are very expensive. Please help. act.seiu.org/a/trumpswage... #WeFeedYou
