This is from an assignment I did in sixth grade. Apparently I have always been like this.
I give commotion generously, and yet I get so little commotion in return.

tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

FWIW, the idea that Black women can't win competitive races is not born out by data. It's about (to borrow from Mitch McConnell) candidate quality:
-Cheri Beasley outperformed in North Carolina (but Schumer didn't fund her)
-Lucy McBath won a Trump district
-Lauren Underwood won a Trump district

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.
Now you're upset?
Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.

ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.
A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

The Founders were not infallible. We shouldn’t still be looking to the intent of white men who didn’t consider women or Black people to be their equals. Society was supposed to evolve past that.

Pro tip: If you’re constantly advocating for legal precedent to return to any year that starts with “17” or “18,” (and often a “19”) you’re almost certainly on the wrong side.

What’s interesting is that little “very fortunately for me” part because she’s not saying he didn’t do all of it or wasn’t actively dangerous and predatory towards potentially every woman around him, just that people should stop caring

FIRE, in fact, stinks.
NEW: FIRE positions itself as an alternative voice for free expression, but an analysis by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social found deference to religious-based viewpoints in free speech debates — and in some cases, the elevation of those views over all others.

Can a Group Allied With the Right Defend the 1st Amendment for All? — Assigned
FIRE, a product of the “academic freedom” campaign, wants to protect free speech for everyone. Yet its stances show deference to religious views and a persistent anti-queer strain.

A woman on Tiktok had a man reply to her in what was a nasty, racist way and she figured out his name and WHERE he worked and drove there to make him apologize and told him if he didn't she would show his wife his Grindr account she found, then made him read a handwritten apology and recorded it

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

At this point if I can't cure my ADHD I'm gonna vibe with it. Just gonna sit here with my 4 half-finished drinks, the same to-do list I've had for weeks, flitting from task to task based on whichever one my brain feels like doing at this moment. Classic us. We're hot. Good job.

Original Sins by @eveewing.bsky.social is fantastic. She chronicles the history of Black and Indigenous people and schooling in America, and how schooling has served the purposes of white supremacy. This is essential reading for anyone who cares about racial justice and education in America.
