the thing is if you have a six hour day for eight hours pay & full employment you now have time to enjoy walking your dog. to cook yourself something at leisure. to enjoy taking care of your dwelling. the answer isn't magic robots. it's unions, it's workers getting the means of production
A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

not wanting to "do discourse" but compelled by conscience to say that Gavin Newsom accepting right-wing framing of gender-affirming care and trying to position himself as some Solomon of hard choices is bullshit. care is care. the people who need it and the people who provide it are the experts
I'm supposed to be gathering berries in a forest but instead every day robots attempt to seduce me to get to one of my credit cards
If you’re cis & you want trans folks to know they’re valid and cared for, here’s a tip: Don’t say it to a trans person. Go talk to a cis person.
Talk to your dad. Your coworker. Your friends. Ask if they know whats going on. Ask if they have uncertainties when it comes to the ~trans issue.~

The audience for trans books is not our enemies, it is our friends, and the hegemonic knowledge constructed by our friends is a propaganda narrative that flattens us and yassifies us into safely positive representation side-characters for cis people’s stories.
I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.

“Hope doesn’t preclude feeling sadness or frustration or anger or any other emotion that makes total sense. Hope isn’t an emotion, you know? Hope is not optimism. Hope is a discipline… we have to practice it every single day.”

Big reminder to be as precise as possible in what you share, regardless of the story, as we go forward. Without details, the info is useless and adds to the chaotic/fearful information environment that many good folks are trying to reign in and organize.
As Trump takes office & pledges mass deportations, here is a shareable film series written *by immigrants for immigrants* on how to safely defend against ICE.
The first of four: 🚨If ICE is outside your door, don’t panic. Don’t open the door. Ask to see a warrant. ICE can’t enter w/o one. Part 1:
