A hill I will die on is that you cannot be pro-Black and anti-queer at the same time.
Because queerness is more of an affirmation of our humanity than whatever bullshit colonizers violently enforced globally.

She ran as a moderate. Maybe you think that’s good and maybe you think that’s bad. All I am arguing is that the endless takes about how Democrats should pivot to the center should explain why it didn’t work in this election (there are good reasons!) rather than pretending she didn’t.

The answer is not to bring more shame, the answer is to de-stigmatize needing help.
Provide more robust social supports and ensure everyone has food, housing, healthcare and a living wage.

“We need to bring shame back to welfare”
There’s always been shame.
There shouldn’t be, but there is. It’s a dehumanizing process to apply for benefits.
The world judges you, treats you like a failure and many make it clear they would rather you die.

I've listened to several podcasts and read several articles on why people are souring on capitalism and they all don't mention Occupy which is weird to me because of nothing else they mainstreamed a lot of the language we use today. And it was a genuinely big deal at the time.

Guys, I don’t care if you are in the Pete Buttigieg fan club. He’s not going to be president without significant support from people of color, especially Black people, and being Republican light isn’t going to cut it. Argue with someone that knows less about the subject.

And if you think you’re better just because you live in a “blue” state or city, I’d suggest you might actually just be deeply insecure and trying to make that blue state identity stand in as a substitute for your character and empathy ✌🏻

The Black/trans/queer/disabled/immigrants etc who live in the South are some of the most badass, compassionate ppl you’ll ever meet because we’ve been living with variations of GOP/fascism lite for decades (sometimes forever). We know how to organize and how to show up for each other

As a queer Kentuckian, I am honestly so fucking sick of hearing “fuck the South” from liberals and progressives. It’s a shit take and incredibly essentializing about one of the country’s most diverse and gerrymandered regions. Ppl need to get their hearts right
You seem to think I’m talking about MAGA. I am not. I am talking about the Black and queer and immigrant and Democratic voters who live in the South too. I think it IS sneering condescension to characterize everyone in the South as “Hitlerville” especially in light of Jim Crow
"you don't understand, it has to be okay for people from hitlerville Alabama to try to kill and torture people because it's sneering condescension if you decide you don't like them for it"
Our society would be infinitely better if liberals hated conservatives as much as they hate us.

The rapid spread of AI content is proof we dont slow down and really watch/read/comprehend the shit we share.
The sharing is knee jerk.
Everything is just mindless reaction followed by
“DAMN I DIDNT REALIZE THE RABBIT RIDING THE BACK OF A GRIZZLE BEAR BACK WAS AI”
OR “oh well it was funny”

Constant commentary on bodies is something we can do without, even if you think it's great that we've lost all our pregnancy weight, etc. Also things we can do without: being called, and defined primarily as, 'moms.'

Tip on being human for faculty men:
Things never to mention to any student, unless directly asked: their clothing, their bodies, their romantic lives. Ever. (Even new hair and outfits, obvious pregnancies, engagement rings, etc.) They will bring it up if they want your opinion. It's not that hard.

Yeah as a woman who has fended off comments from men and women about my outfits throughout my career no matter what I wore I’m here to second your comment. If you look too nice in something they’ll tell you you look too sexy to be serious but if you dress as I did at one point in overly large

Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?
Alice could not eat food for years.
And yet at Christmas she would bake cookies and mail them to me—such was her desire to provide care for the people she loved.
