Trans women, work in a mental hospital, & rarely stream (hopefully more often soon)! Aro/ace/poly don't ask how that works as I don't know either.

Oh yeah, if anyone wants to talk to me, my DM's are open. At least, they should be. I usually don't message people out of a fear that past the initial message, I wouldn't have anything else to talk about despite wanting to talk with the person, but if someone messages me that usually isn't an issue.

This concentration of wealth has progressed with every US presidency. And then people ask

“How did we get here?”

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 2d

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

On a packed commuting train and there is a toddler singing unaccompanied nursery rhymes at the top of his lungs (I can only assume he has headphones on or something - i can’t see him) and it is giving me life this morning. Occasionally he breaks up his renditions with loud lion roars. What a guy.

It’s deeply encouraging to see footage of hostages reuniting with their families and to see Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza.

There are obviously many more steps to achieving a lasting peace but today’s developments should give us all a profound sense of hope.

Most people if they live long enough will experience significant vision loss. Almost every person who does would benefit from learning enough braille to say, find buttons in an elevator.
Frankly, there are no windows in an elevator, and in an emergency we’d probably all benefit from some of it.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

Once again wishing Steam had a no-gen"ai" filter

I refuse to support any game that has been made in any part using generative slop & it would make my time digging through the nearly 3,000 demos on show right now if I didn't have to check every single one to make sure it wasn't using that crap

Millions came out for the last #NoKings protests.

These will be even bigger.

They want to scare people into not showing up.

Show up. Exercise your Constitutional rights. Be in community with all those who believe in democracy.

For some reason, I was watching a review of Skyward Sword, and I'll be honest, in all my playthroughs, I have never broken a shield. It isn't that hard to parry, or if you do make a mistake, it is easy to heal it. I never understood ppl who said it was hard??? I'm not like amazing at games, so idk?

Really terrible news which is that little Masa died from her illness 💔

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · 11d

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Baraa. Baraa is the mother of 3 children Masa, 6, Ibrahim, 4 and Maha, 7 months. Tragically Maha was killed after a nearby bombing caused gasses to overwhelm her little lungs. Masa is in the hospital because of kidney issues from malnutrition.

Fascism is the childish belief that the world can be put in order, and the use of infinite deadly force to achieve that end, invariably to no avail

Gregk Foley @gregk.co.uk · 2d

It’s important to remember that fascism is a politics that aspires for a unity of ideology, Law, justice and morality through action (violence) and that an anti-fascist politics therefore embraces the messiness that comes from disaggregating that unity and honouring the messiness it entails.

Used my meager ability to point and click on my Android phone using Polish to update this gem of a comic.

Four panel webcomic.

Panel 1: Pepe the Alt Right Frog mascot is secured in a guillotine. The Portland Frog is superimposed over the French Revolutionary headsman, and asks, "Any last words?"

Panel 2: Pepe, with a smug look, says, "So much for the tolerant left."

Panel 3: Pepe mugs for the crowd, as if awaiting cheers. The Portland Frog seems unmoved.

Panel 4: The Portland Frog impassionately releases the guillotine blade to a resounding *CHOP* as Pepe's head goes bouncing away with a dejected expression on its face.
