i dont know, man, apparently a lot of people point to 'Around the World in Eighty Days' as Verne's gay baby, but just listening to arthur lane describe Cpt Nemo has me convinced our gaydars are on the fritz. - 🌻

Mutual aid groups led the charge on distribution of Narcan, fostering a grassroots response to the overdose crisis. Autonomous networks can continue to work to meet needs of our communities, as the state doubles down on repression and enriching their real constituents: the corporate elite.

1) and subsequently 2) the delivery jobs youre referring to are just as bad. they arent paid in the capacity you seem to think, have to work other jobs there simultaneously, and often use their own vehicle. door dash+ simply applied pressure where the industry was already failing.

youre gonna have to change the view of the entire service industry, or youre chasing symptoms. 3) not believing in people's ability to self-manage, and calling them (potential) "petty tyrants," shows you just might not be "leftist" enough, babes. 🌻

after years of playing Kerbal Space Program, there is no amount of press coverage that could make me excited about a short suborbital flight full of celebrities. congrats on having money, i guess. 🦑

pushing into activism with chronic pain/exhaustion is fun because it feels like we can never be consistent enough, or focused enough. we can never truly feel comfortable with the effort we put in. but we keep trying. sorry if its not enough. -🌻

if your taxes are honestly lower in any way, you know its because of the cuts to programs that keep people safe and alive. so if youre barking about how they use your taxes, and then suddenly get money back, you know exactly where you should be sending that money. -🌻

They're coming for the dissidents, the scholars, the lawyers, and the media first, which is what dictators often do. Shut up the loud opposition, shut up the people who know history best, shut up the tools of legal opposition, and shut up those trying to provide transparency.

🦑 the blindness of perspective is fascinating. faith paints your vision with a slurry of blacks and whites, politics skews your connection to the people in your community, and knowledge makes you prone to discredit sillier or less effective things that the unwise feel is their sole choice.

this is why its so important to constantly challenge your own beliefs and seek new perspectives. learn about other people and cultures and faiths and poltical bodies and their own needs. you very quickly learn how impossible it is to remove the rest of humanity from ourselves. we're the same.

the important thing to remember here is that these views dont change the reality of things; we are still tiny dots on a tiny speck, making arbitrary rules and expectations for one another. so if a faith/party/group wants to remain true to the collective experience of life, they adapt their view.

collective experience, i hear you say? well, its easy enough to have a system of beliefs that explains the world for you, but the universe exists outside of you as well, so our collective experiences serve as an updated series of perspectives that cant be discounted. nor can the implocations.

but what REALLY gets me is attempting to understand perspecrives you dont have. senses and experiences youve never tapped or been subjected to. aphantasia for instance, for those that dont have it, can you dissect how much of your daily life is reliant on those images? those emotions on recall?

but lets talk more about holding views, and engaging with others (that may have differing views). the way that we organize and qualify the world inside of your mind affects your perception of the it. no matter your faith+, thats sort of the point, no? and its the same with modern politics.

to people that DO have aphantasia, its just life. they still write and draw and make musicals. but their connection to those things and how they experience the world, in the moment of an event, and after, is vastly different. some require visual aids stay engaged with verbal content, for example.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

FWIW, the choice was scrubbing their website or potentially closing down because their funding was turned off. Sure they could have sued, but what then?

"(b) the National Institutes of Health and other health-related research funded by the Federal Government should prioritize gold-standard research on the root causes of why Americans are getting sick;" babes, they already researched this. its the fucking capitalism 🐍

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished
