We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

latest thing driving me crazy about the current round of vote scolding is that even if given benefit of the doubt that these dems aren't personally transphobic, they're just getting votes, people are still being asked to put faith in the bravery of cowards kind of a big flaw there, the cowardice

as i get older, i've come to place greater importance on not minimizing crimes and harm to society. but part of that is that in order to properly grapple with harm, you cannot feed perpetrators into a gratuitous torture engine. it eclipses the gravity of the crime and obscures the debt to others

Boston’s chief planner is a true believer in the San Francisco model, in which you make it impossible to profitably build apartments by-right so developers are forced into a politicized discretionary negotiation with the city, which relaxes the rules in exchange for below-market units.

Bits of the Avatar: Seven Havens fandom think that conscription is slavery. It is not. It's true that slavery does involve compelled labour, so they share that in common. But slavery is a more pervasive social/legal standing. Everyone read Orlando Patterson then you can enjoy the children's cartoon.

During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!

The whole world no longer smells like cigarettes.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?
