I'm a creative-type cryptid—sometimes I vanish mysteriously, but I'll reappear with newfound knowledge or art to share. Talk to me about making stuff, 3D printing, Disability Justice, Linux, FOSS, D&D, video games, my cat, or whatever shit I'm hyperfocusing on this week.

"To any governors or state legislators out there... if you are in a position where you have the power to redraw your maps... if you have the ability to meet this moment with the urgency that it deserves, I'm calling on you to do exactly what we're doing in California and to fight fire with fire."

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

If you’re donating to a food bank, consider donating some respirators too!

Food banks will be overwhelmed and crowded.

Covid is still with us, still disabling and still killing.

Many folks are losing food assistance & healthcare.

A well fitted respirator can keep you healthy!

Two countries in the UN voted against making food a human right… the US & Israel

The US is about to let 42 million people starve at a time when half of all Americans can’t afford a basic standard of living

Abolish the billionaire class

They’re enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else

It chaps my ass on how there's a legion of library, school, and healthcare workers who consistently and quietly deal with substance use disorder, mental illness, domestic violence, and a wide array of other issues with little to no acknowledgement while law enforcement needs constant affirmation.

One of the right wing's top cultural initiatives was trying to destroy the idea that assholery deserves shame and we'll have to reverse that. "I'm just expressing an opinion I'm entitled to." Ok but you're an asshole. "I'm simply doing a business practice that technically isn't illegal." Ok. Asshole

i can't claim to know Kat as well as I'd like but there's never been a shred of doubt in my mind that she believes what she says and is willing to put her body on the line for that belief. I admire her.

William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social · 15h

Kat Abugazeh’s campaign has crossed a threshold where the risk she’s taking is significant enough and the actions admirable enough I sorta am past caring if it’s a publicity stunt/brand building exercise or not, it’s still brave and worthy of respect.

Maaaaan, this. So much this. Every time there's any kind of actual in-depth survey we find that the American people are *abysmally* ignorant about even the most basic political facts, but the pundit class just immediately forgets & proceeds with political analysis based on subtle policy differences.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 20h

Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.

The majority of the people in my neighborhood speak languages other than English, and the only effect it's had is making me want to learn more languages. Diverse neighborhoods are beautiful places to live, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Tiger Elephant Giraffe Hat @kenwhite.bsky.social · 21h

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

You should care about Jamaica and Sudan even if you don't know anyone there and the news isn't covering it. The anti-Blackness embedded in folks' lack of empathy is gross.

I hear rich guys are saying they’d move away from New York City if Zohran Mamdani becomes the new mayor. Funny, I was thinking that if he wins, it’d make New York City the only U.S. city I’d consider moving to. #Mamdani

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.
