The Democrats said, "We will never stop sponsoring genocide. We will always support the apartheid ethnostate that's on a settler colonial mission of extermination of its neighbors. It's either genocide with us or with Trump, and with Trump you'll also get the end of the pretense of democracy, here."

Apparently earth has reached its first critical “tipping point” related to climate change, with the massive deaths of coral reefs that’s only going to get worse. 🫤

Coral reefs have become Earth's first ecosystems to pass the "planetary tipping point"

Coral reefs have passed their survival limit, confirming Earth’s first tipping point and signaling more irreversible climate shifts ahead.

Do USians understand that this is absolutely, obviously the truth? Do they see that ALL WESTERN GOV'TS ARE ISRAEL FIRST? Do they see that they're all playacting the 'Center vs Right,' game but they're all Rightwing fascists (with a few random "Leftists" to funnel would-be anti-capitalists back in.)

All Western governments will abandon their citizens for Israel. If that isn't clear by now...we are truly lost

Philip O'Connor @philipoconnor.bsky.social · 21h

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

I have yet another round of applications in and I'm starting to worry. We have immigration things next month and I haven't been able to land a job. I feel like I got my wife out and I'm going to stall out at the finish line. If you can help or share, thank you.

Another otherworlder character inexplicably pings as a woman to the girl with aura-sensing powers despite how she clearly looks like a generic isekai boy.

Misreading her hesitation about being trans, the girls assume that it must be an unknown concept in the world she's from and try to forcefem her

Isekai where the main character thinks lesbian flirting must just be normal straight girl friendliness in this new world, and the girls are all like "oh no, the otherworlder is so comphet, how do we explain lesbianism to her?"

"We don't know the name of the people or the location of the places where Assata [Shakur] hid, but we do know that sustaining the underground network involved faith, risk, audacity, and ingenuity. There is a lesson here about ... shield[ing] others from the onslaught of the state."

The recent passing of Assata Shakur unleashed more than a sense of loss. It sparked a flowering of hope that the freedom she fought for could one day be real for the rest of us.

A cis woman is 100x as likely, and a trans woman is 47x more likely, than a cis man to get breast cancer.... both because they have grown more breast tissue...

This is genuinely so needlessly cruel, illegal, anti-science, and anti-medicine - all wrapped up into one.

Jenn @jennralize.bsky.social · 20h

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

I caught an ass-beating on the bus over that incident, and, once again, the kids who beat the shit out of me did not get in any trouble whatsoever although by that point, I knew not to try and involve the school in my problems anymore.

Not Cordelia @notcordelia.bsky.social · 15h

and then, after reporting it, I was the one who got in trouble because the county transportation administration immediately sided with the racist kids and got them to concoct a story where I had somehow goaded them into calling my foster brother the N word.

That's the Amerikka I've always known.

Not Cordelia @notcordelia.bsky.social · 15h

The idea that conservatives were somehow less racist twenty years ago is actually, maddeningly infuriating. I remember reporting kids in middle school (the Clinton administration) who were threatening to light crosses in my lawn because of my Black foster siblings...
