Good morning. It's refill on the meds day and I'm going to need $30 to pick everything up, preferably this morning if anyone has a few dollars they can help with? #Helpsky #MutualAid www.paypal.me/arnicaxross

Have you caught up on Dreams? Episode 1 is the perfect scary start to Hallo-Week 🌙🎃✨

At least 62 people have been killed after gunmen attacked a community in northeastern Nigeria, the country’s emergency agency said.

The blood of dead trans children stains the hands of every cis person.

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

I read the NYT piece earlier, and I had no idea there was a new rape allegation against the president until I saw this thread. The closest the Times got to saying there’s a new allegation was “it largely cites allegations that have already been public.”

I don't care for how this has become almost a joke people throw in along with how he's old and fat and orange rather than a stomach-churning, existentially horrifying thing for a nation to know about its head of state.

I get they're inextricably intertwined but I kind of feel like leaning so much into how he was the longtime best buddy of the world's most notorious sex criminal has given it something of the feel of a political gotcha rather than the important part, which is that the president raped people.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Not the end!

maybe you should stop attributing all the agency to voters, who only count in the aggregate, and none to the candidates who could, singlehandedly, simply not do the thing that turns off voters.

I really need the world to understand this: THE MOST VOTED CONGRESSPERSON PERSON IN BRAZIL IS A BLACK TRANS WOMAN. Her name is Erika Hilton. DO NOT LET ANYONE THROW TRANS AND BLACK PEOPLE UNDER THE BUS.

Apropos of nothing this fine Monday morning. ☕: ko-fi.com/asalwaysimani

Increase Your Lexicon: MISOGYNOIR (noun) Shoutout to Dr. Moya Bailey for this term that describes discrimination against Black women specifically. It's important, and sadly, all too relevant in many ways right now. #misogynoir #IncreaseYourlexicon #words #vocabulary #voiceover

I cannot stress enough how the one person does not need to be on the tracks. The one person track can JUST BE CLEARED. Because otherwise panel 3 stays true REGARDLESS. There's STILL BLOOD AND AT LEAST ONE DEAD BODY

How it feels right now

This isn’t really a gotcha when Donald Trump entered the political mainstream via birtherism, as in, claiming that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States because he was Black. (Yes, he had a white American mother and grandparents, but racism don’t GAF)

Forged in FIYAH is an anthology everyone should check out: it features some of the best stories @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social has published over the last 10 years and the work they do in highlighting BIPOC voices is so important. PLUS THEY'RE JUST DAMN GOOD STORIES GO READ THEM #booksky

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Me, looking at my hand and then her butt while the words 'if it quacks like a duck' echo ominously in my head...

PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY RENT i don't wanna be homeless in a week im trans and without income im struggling all my work is free please help me

Friend, every explanation ever needed is included in the art I...I WANT this. I want this as a hoodie and then you wear an enamel pin of your favorite starfleet Capt pinned over the Nacels like a it's a homegoing service teeshirt

Winter is leaned up against a wall somewhere right now, coldly amused & half-asleep, like a patient mobster who knows there's no avoiding him.

GUYS, A COUP IS IN PROGRESS IN BRAZIL PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE BEING PREVENTED FROM VOTING. THEY'RE DESTROYING OUR EVMS AND BLOCKING ACCESS TO BUSES ON POORER AREAS PLEASE, IF YOU FOLLOW ME, YOU NEED TO SPREAD THIS TO OTHERS!!!!!!!

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

The endless 4 year cycle is Don't sabotage them, they're just trying to get elected They just got into office, these things take time We're gearing for the presidency, we can't take risky moves The president can't just wave a magic wand to do good things

Yes the math washing of AI is especially pernicious because it plays to the stereotype that Black people aren’t rational and can’t do higher order math/reason. Which is why I’m extra annoyed.

Ultimately, if you only have time to know one thing about all of this, just know that not a single solitary tech oligarch, tech company, or tech-backed politician has a single solitary serious commitment to the existence of Black political power or economic security in their plans for the future.

I’m being uncharacteristically direct. I usually like to let people drink the water themselves. But I’m overstimulated, everybody is annoying, and the world is getting on my last good nerve.

The next turn will likely sound like Malcolm X with an AI battery in his back. Something something about determining our own economic destiny. You should also ignore that. It’s nonsense.

I’m sure folks know this but you don’t need to know about dual cooling systems to know that you don’t want or need a data center in your community. Additionally, no, we don’t need a Black-owned data center in the name of a “seat at the table.” just to get out ahead on that foolishness.
