I don’t think anyone can solve another persons problems, nor should they try. However, I’ve found that talking some things through with someone can help me come to my own insights. Also hearing other perspectives, that you trust and respect, can help you see angles you may not have considered before

republicans used to complain about the violence in gangster rap and now they want to livestream an execution

Spent the last century turning all of Central America and half of South America into fascist dictatorships controlled by American corporations until they all collapsed into narcostates controlled by violent gangs led by CIA-trained psychopaths and we have the nerve to pretend *theyre* the problem.

Were you wondering when the first current or former US lawmaker was going to have to flee this country for their safety and/or wind up in jail under this Nazi administration? That really terrible scenario you kept envisioning? That’s what they are doing to Representative Omar.

I was traveling and forgot to post late last month when the wonderful Porch Light Books in Edmonton restocked NO SLEEP 'TIL FAIRBANKS once again! Get yer Alaska/Yukon nonfiction fix here, and support my pursuit of the coveted "Porch Light 100" designation (awarded to books that sell 100 copies):

As a PhD student designing my first survey, I added what I thought was a throwaway question at the end. To my surprise, thousands of academics answered it! The paper is out today: doi.org/10.1093/pnas...

You're being pelted with anti-trans ads? Don't validate the frame: punch back. MAGA Republicans present a vast, target-rich environment, and Trump is doing everything in his power to shackle these people to him. Make *them* answer for *that*, follow the lead of the Dems who are doing this.

Insights into 1970s Alaska sex lives by cartoonist Bud Root, from the 1975 Alaska Pipeline Workers Handbook, an unofficial if high quality one-shot magazine that targeted newcomers to Alaska. Perhaps relevant, the editor and publisher were women. #alaskahistory #alaska

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

I'm glad Canadian media at least continues to report on this, because it continues to be a very big deal.

This *is* a fantastic story!

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

My dad lettered in 3 sports in HS, was a diver for UNC, and got us season tix to UNC football and bball. I played soccer & hoops for my jr. high; my brother played soccer through HS. We were sports nuts. We could have fallen into gambling *so* easily. But we didn't see DraftKing ads 24/7.

this is literally how all these spineless Dem backtracking statements sound to me

UPDATE: SCP Foundation have posted a statement saying they were not consulted or contacted about the A24 SCP project. scp-wiki.wikidot.com/statement-on...

they're already attacking him for being pro-trans anyway, so you might as well be vocally pro-trans. when will people learn that you do not need to ever validate a fascist narrative?

I know times are tough for everyone, but I’m just… really tired of how much folks talk about diversity but can’t chuck $20 a year at orgs doing good work. So many smaller mags that have been critical to SFFH have shuttered.

Please, we can’t fail another magazine. If you can, support them.

The evolutionary purpose of grief is saving life. Not only do we stifle its full expression by enforcing emotionally flat social conformity, we don't encourage the wielding of grief to inspire harm reduction NEARLY enough. We're meant to SAVE lives by exposing our whole heart through the tears.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Override HB 78 Veto. Write one here: act.aflcio.org/letters/over...

@pavlovforgoths.com Is there any way you can get someone to help a nonbinary artist/writer in Iowa? www.paypal.com/paypalme/kar...

we're gonna actually succsesfully translate caves of qud, at least into our first target language. We've got per-file project burndown tracking and have a big enough team on it (our biggest so far!) that it's just gonna get there 99% of people will be like "ho hum" and 1% will be like WHAT THE FUCK

I don’t have the words for how depraved this is

Would people be interested in something like a non fiction book about my experiences in Palestinian folk religious practice and magic? It would emphatically not be a “this is how we do things” kind of book. It could be a series of essays on esoteric subjects and philosophy though.

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

📆 Register now for our upcoming #HealthLaw Symposium, "A Defining Moment for Vaccine Science and Policy," exploring the immense challenges facing the field under the Trump administration & focusing on what can be done to strengthen vaccine policy in our current climate and in the years to come.

8/ Especially inside this ethically barren Administration, OF COURSE there are games being played to make money off information that only Trump's inside circle knows. How about this weird story about a press briefing abruptly cut off.

7/ But the most immediate crisis is that these markets are wildly corrupt, because there is no law that bans this type of insider trading. Hours before the Maduro raid, one secret bettor placed a big bet on an imminent invasion, and made $400,000.

oh and also: - imgur is now entirely inaccessible (???) - sites like fucking INATURALIST are getting verification slapped on them - as a whole accessing the internet just increasingly feels like a chore trust me it's about surveillance. they don't gaf about the kids.

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:
