Love a roller derby tournament in an iced out hockey rink with no windows where you can forget the rest of the world even exists for a bit. #BoBH2025

The lady I blocked today is going to think, if she notices, that I blocked her for her “not all obscenely wealthy people” reply to me. When in fact I blocked her because I looked at her profile and saw the fat joke.

if you sell your labor for wages to survive, you are the working class. all else is aesthetics.
dividing blue color workers from "the professional managerial class" is another such trick, turning us against each other over minor economic differences, particularly compared to the wealth of the ownership class

Sometimes it’s nice to watch a skater you idolize struggle a little bit playing a team that’s challenging. Not in a smug way, just in a way makes them more relatable. #rollerderby

Another wish washy “round up” email from Jared Golden who still thinks there are long-term benefits to the President’s tariffs that outweigh the short-term consequences.

In just two weeks, people organized to get emergency humanitarian assistance to others in extremely vulnerable situations. Building parallel institutions like this to address needs abandoned by the govt is a powerful method of civil resistance. Check this out. unlockaid.substack.com/p/foreign-ai...

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Was feeling crafty today. Did I go into the stash supplies I’ve bought for any of the hobbies I already tried? Knitting? Crochet? Zen tangles? No of course not. Decided I must buy all supplies needed to learn how to watercolor, of course.
