Most of what I write on here is cringe which is why I get rid of it monthly more or less. But I sort of follow the cereal box rule: If a kid is reading the cereal box, let the kid read the cereal box.
If someone who writes is writing the TL, let them write the TL. Even if it is me & cringe.

Oh would you look at that, Maine voters actually don’t love secret nazi mercenaries that spend their free time being racist and sexist on reddit.
A survey, conducted on behalf of the Democratic group EMILYs List and obtained by POLITICO, finds that most voters wouldn’t support Platner over Republican Sen. Susan Collins after learning of his past social media posts

This is a yikes too. He gets dogwalked by Susan Collins even though Generic Dem has a 9 pt margin.
What I find funny is that the median Maine voter sees his tattoo and comments about sexual assault as a non-starter but we had how many people defending that shit here on Bluesky?

Are we in the “if you are a survivor of csa” you should take cover as best as possible territory right now? I don’t want to scroll myself into something I can’t handle.

If I had a superpower, it’s I can be so quiet, so still, go so long without breathing that all the lights will turn off in the wing of the ivy league library where I’ve snuck in to write my dissertation

And I used to eat out a lot. I have multiple ex’s who had money and were into food. I had a friend group of gay white men very focused on food and cocktails. I was the tag-a-long but I ate my way through Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and Provincetown. I was a big eat-at-the bar person.

as i made my breakfast this morning i was thinking abt what it was like to open my refrigerator last night & for the 1st time ever have a totally pre-made salad. it’s not something i would’ve ever thought of buying for myself but when you have cooked almost every single meal for yourself for years

I just did some very heavy physical work that I have been avoiding. I loved my beautiful apartment garden but moving all of it now is making me question those choices. And, the hardest part is not done.
Being single = the ability to lift 50 - 200 lbs on your own. I know it’s worth it. lmao

Don’t engage with the cops.
Walk out of buildimgs with cops even if it’s your work. If you *can’t*— at least imagine it.
Say out loud to a colleague: why is that person/cop dressed for war in our space? That doesn’t keep us safe.
Decarcerate your lives.

I only learned this after one of my mentors died but when he helped win a really big campaign & before they took power, you know what they did?
They drove around telling unhoused constituents it would be different & feeding people. And it was.
It’s one of many reasons I’ll never sell out.

the winter would be easier with reliable healthcare and transportation.
every winter I wreck my body shoveling, shopping, and doing other chores. it makes it hard to enjoy the nicer parts.
driving is, well, an adventure.
the “there is no bad weather only bad gear” only goes so far

“Around 14% was spent at smaller grocery & convenience stores, businesses often tucked into neighborhoods and more easily accessible to SNAP beneficiaries.”
I spend most of my SNAP at a small non-chain health foods market. This becomes more important in the winter bc my car is *not good* smh

My gut hunch: Kendzoir was probably not banned by a human for any reason, but by an automated computer process by accident, and BlueSky doesn't want to admit this mistake nor to open up that automation for debate. It wants the power to let computers do this w/o expending $ for human review.
@bsky.app last week my DMs were cut off. Moderation said I could not be trusted.
Hours later, you said it was a mistake.
Then you cut off them off again—but said it was my fault, tho wouldn't explain (before turning them back on.)
Maybe @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's ban is a mistake, too?

I’m thinking about what it means for me to do rapid response when NPIC is involved. In the past the org leader has said she has “a problem with encampments”
I have her muted or blocked on all social because her anti-poor words have been too much for me to handle over the years

So many people say: “it will work out” and what they mean is “you will succumb to racial capitalism.”
It’s not true, inevitable or even possible for everyone. You shouldn’t want it to be. We should all want people living deeply anti-capitalist lives in non-performative ways.

Getting over your fears of becoming poor is learning to love poor people as they are. As they are.
And, it may be a necessary way to learn to love yourself.

I’m sure someone has said this but — what if it is the cop in our hearts (that is policing our brains)?
And love for me is evolving and complex and hard-to-describe but not at all elusive. Love wildly accessible and ever-present , and often painful.
