“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire
they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is
nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

This was always Amazon's plan. They are effectively building a shipping monopoly and the current administration has no interest in stopping that.

A singer-songwriter friend would like people to know that while boycotting Spotify is great, it was also 16% of their income that is now cratering. So if you're cancelling Spotify, please pair that with buying music, merch, or live tickets directly from your favorite artists

One of the reasons I put a Trans Rights patch on my vest is because I went to a counter protest of a far right rally and spotted a guy dressed exactly like me. The last thing I want is for someone like that to think they're welcome in my spaces based on my outfit.

Here in Boston, we’ve made it more costly for Fenway to abandon trans youth and trans adults by protesting in front of their clinic, by severing ties with them, and by disrupting their gala and public events.
I suggest local activists elsewhere investigate similar potentials for disruption.

You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.

The magical thing about yixing teapots is you can't know what you're paying for when you buy it.
You have to use it until it discolors, forget about it in a back cupboard for a few decades, pull it out, rinse it clean, and then make tea. It's like drinking fond memories.

Materially and directly harming a group of people and expecting them to be cool with it is madness at best and white supremacy at worst.

You have the choice to sacrifice trans people. Perhaps it will save you.
But you don't get to ask trans people to accept the role as sacrifice. You cannot expect understanding, acceptance, forgiveness, or respect.
