I can't say that I'll be boycotting Chili's as it has been years since I've been in one, and you can't really boycott a restaurant you already don't go to. That said, I'll be happy not to change my habits, transphobia leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

How IHS is Responding to Terrifying Changes at Amazon - I Heart SapphFic How IHS is Responding to Terrifying Changes at Amazon - TB here. This is going to be a long post, but it's worth reading. The gist of it is that Amazon is up to a bunch of terrifying nonsense, and IHS...

😮😱🤣🤣🤣

Wow... WOW. This is so over-the-top wrong, even The Onion hasn't thought of it. Very strong "Señor Chang from Community" vibes. 😅

Take a few seconds to click and hear for yourself.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

On the right is the screaming tiki guy from the Charlottesville riot. I know his name is a matter of public record, but I refuse to learn it - תמחה את זכר עמלק.

PSA: stop depicting Haman with a big crooked Jew nose. I know we obviously don’t mean it as antisemitic but those cliches are so ingrained that it’s hard to unconsciously avoid them.

Instead depict Haman like this:

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Mom whose 7-year-old has brain swelling from measles still wouldn’t vaccinate EXCLUSIVE: South Carolina parents living in the state’s measles epicenter tell Rhian Lubin of their devastation after their unvaccinated 7-year-old son, Ethan, developed encephalitis, a complication f...

“If I knew this could be the outcome, I still wouldn't have given my son the vaccine.”

This was said by the mother of a child in South Carolina who has been hospitalized with measles encephalitis since January.

I tried out several sentences for this spot, but none could capture my thoughts.
