hi everyone! Recovery is harder & more expensive than expected. I'm still healing & underestimated what this would actually cost. If you're able to donate or share, every bit helps. Full details are on my latest GoFundMe update. Thank you for staying with me through this. Reposts appreciated. 🏳️‍⚧️💜🏳️‍⚧️

This is fantastic. We need more quality data visualization in the world.

It's hard to believe but Democrats ran for decades against the "Bush tax cuts" and then made most of them permanent. Then ran against the "Trump tax cuts" and then didn't repeal them either.

my hair is so pretty today

I defended my dissertation and started my teaching career using overhead projectors. Now I use a document camera when I want to solve a problem in front of a large class. 🎢🍎

Man they shut down public transit in working class cities and were blocking highways and he still cleared by a wide enough margin that it’s not in doubt. Juice levels literally off the fucking charts

As well telling a candidate you will not vote unless they grow a spine is extremely useful rhetorically, because its one of the only ways you can assert your needs towards a candidate. It is good actually to criticize politicians for their wrongs especially if they are being bigoted.

If trans people & our loved ones not voting would lose you the election then maybe its not us that needs to budge on our basic human decency and rights but you who needs to stop whining that people aren't nice enough about your open bigotry. Experts agree its a genocide, you're pro genocide.

Wild chain of events: An artist on FB asked who the subject of a painting was--she'd painted from a photo. A friend alerted me. I was able to tell Shannon Burch that her painting of a woman protesting at Broadview ICE... was me. Honored, to say the least. Abolish ICE www.instagram.com/p/De48EQUGYSF/

seriously tho, I admire her stamina so much. we transitioned around the same time, and yet I quickly tired of trying to persuade fuckwits that the sky was sky-coloured and retreated to writing my dumb little stories. she, on the other hand, has changed the (trans) world. like. wow. genuinely.

special mention to Liara T’Soni, who probably would have done this for me too if i had played Mass Effect first. definitely some of the most impactful games of my life, and where I got my love for RPGs! very bummed to see to see Bioware destroyed :(

divorces are good. breakups are good. ending connections with family is good. ending friendships is good. it all hurts. it all sucks. but the alternative, which is people *not* being able to leave relationships they don’t want to be in, is so much worse. and it is a much more entrenched problem.

You can skip the gender metaphysics debate entirely if you say, "I don't care about that. I care about the material consequences trans people experience for living the way they want to," and then hammer the point home that no amount of gender metaphysics can ever justify transfemicide.

“Not being able to leave an abusive relationship is a symptom of being in an abusive relationship, not its cause. An abuse victim is not continuing to experience abuse because they refuse to leave, the abuse is creating a context in which the victim unable to leave.” butchanarchy.org/why-dont-the...

At the time liberals like Klein and Wynn did NOT even remotely grasp the magnitude of the threat during Trump 1. We only got out thru a combination of i) antifa brutally crushing fascist networks, ii) trump's incompetence and random media filters, iii) defections of Trump's appointees.

After being brought down by the noblogs shutdown, my website is finally back and prettier than ever ✨ This is where you can find an archive of my work as well as a theory library collection of nearly 300 articles and books! butchanarchy.org

We entered, imo, the middle of the revolutionary era, on October 7th, 2023. But unlike in 2011, both revolution and reaction were well in motion, well organized, deeper entrenched and/or better infrastructured, meaning they lack the explosive historical novelty and clarity of the events in the 2010s

Bolsonaro, Vucic and Orban out, Flamingo and Cockroach Revolutions, French uprising and Iberian housing movements, Nepal and Bangladesh popular insurrection, Iranian and Serbian movements, these too are heralds of the current moment. We are once again in a time of movement and revolution

lore is so important i agree

I really need that first promotional image with three flower & bonkers amazing costumes to inspire so many works of art, including but not limited to sapphic t4t romances and erotica. And, again, commotion for the outfits & the icons wearing them! Also Sasheer Zamata was in this show & she rulz!

oh, i *need* Aubrey Plaza's outfit in that first pic. I would look so good in green i bet.

YES! and its hubris knows no limit bc not only is it unapologetically queer, it also has the coolest campy witchy aesthetic, i think three? huge plot twists, a real good soundtrack, and easily one of the best episodes of the entire MCU near the end— I really really recommend it!

You can't go wrong with Aubrey Plaza doing gay things 🥰

Nine months of Portuguese lessons just so I could mostly understand this meme!!!

Lula has been a leftist for a long goddamn time. Love to see it. The people of Brazil deserve prosperity & for US imperialism to leave them the hell alone.

Fuck, you love to see it.

You could be this cute! Get your crop tee from the amazing Sage!

coulda done a benjamin button meet-in-the-middle

i feel like this is understating it but i can understand why you might want to be tactful in your "the cybersmith" explanation

anti-communism is one of the first red flags that someone is highly likely to be a fascist
