Get it together Dems. If we can’t protect & support our most vulnerable people, what are we even doing?

Max P III@blackballer.bsky.social

Deeply anti human strain of politics in both parties. It seems the only thing american politicians learn is how to toss vulnerable groups of people overboard when they deem it politically expedient.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

For everyone who spent #MeToo fretting “what if this goes too far?”—be of good cheer! It turns out we didn’t go too far at all! It turns out we didn’t nearly far enough! Good job guys!

Apologies in advance, but I can't afford to feel bad about it. It is time for the big push for my book KAIBYO THE SUPERNATURAL CATS OF JAPAN. Preorders this month will make or break not only the success of the book, but my future books with the publisher. Please buy link.amazon/B0d6PY7Gv

Today would be a great day to hear from the Hennepin Attorney with an update on the potential prosecution of the killers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. They were killed in January.

"Meanwhile, Jane Doe dropped out of Cornell and was denied her request to get her tuition refunded so that she could transfer to a different college. She hence faced more severe consequences than most of the men who she alleges gang-raped her." www.thecut.com/article/what...

Replying to @mskellymhayes.bsky.social

Saying anything that’s meant to be positive about Emanuel is obviously offensive, but I cannot get over this description of “middle-age married sex.” It’s like dude’s saying, Rahm reminds me of the way I’m an uninteresting lover with zero stamina and that’s good, actually.

I’m very sorry to need so much support but expenses are piling up & apparently my SNAP benefits were suspended without my knowledge (as I just learned on the way to the grocery store) My partner did get a job but it doesn’t start til 10/2. Sharing helps a lot even if you can’t spare any dollars. 🌻

Updating my pinned post for ongoing direct & mutual aid. My 3 person household is trying to survive on my monthly disability check while job seeking and it’s not enough to pay our bills. Any support, including sharing, is appreciated. V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel Zelle/paypal via DM 🌻🌻🌻

I think, when public feuds about justice issues go down, asking oneself, am I siding with someone who was in the Epstein files or siding with someone who was not in the Epstein files is not the worst starting point for moral inquiry?

Very good thread on AI and cybersecurity

Once you understand the corporate culture of AI hyperscalers is everyone cooking their brains by locking themselves in the bathroom, holding flashlights under their chins, and saying "Aaaaaaaaaay Eyeeeeeee" until they wet themselves in terror, things snap into focus: pluralistic.net/2023/06/04/a...

Well neither of us have managed to find a job yet (😩🙃😔) so the income shortage continues. Currently I’m overdrafted and my next SSDI check doesn’t come til 9/12 so I’m just boosting for ongoing support. 🌻🌻🌻

It’s looking like I’m gonna need financial support to get through June and July. 🫠😩🙃😔 If you’re able to chip in or share to help my partner and I stay afloat while searching for new employment or some kind of money tree: V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel Zelle/paypal via DM

1) what about the competitive sanctity of women’s sports?! men are changing their genders so they can win at college swim meets!! our precious female athletes!!! 😭😭😭 2) Title IX is unfair discrimination against men [we are here] 3) women’s sports should be banned

Rachel Cohen Booth@rcobooth.bsky.social

"both competitive drive [of men] and male friendship have suffered under the weaponized application of Title IX" @heritagefdn.bsky.social claims...adding that "cheerleading, dance, yoga...and recreational intramurals" are "more aligned with average female interests" www.heritage.org/gender/repor...

What horseshit. She embraced gay people at the height of the AIDS crisis, embraced trans people at the height of the war against them, supported Black communities and artists, and wrote the most pro-worker's rights feminist pop song of all time. Neutral my ass

if your parents are still reasonably healthy, start looking up filial responsibility laws and what exists in terms of long-term care options sooner rather than later because it is an EXTREMELY unpleasant surprise

After Alex Pretti was shot while peacefully witnessing during the immigration crackdown in Minnesota, the US government did not investigate his murder; they investigated groups that were supporting efforts to witness and document, calling them agitators. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/u...

if mamdani is in any way a future indicator of the threat abdul el-sayed poses as a potential senator, it’s that he will be tremendously normal and misunderstood intensely.
