Some of us didn't hop online in the 90s or the 2000s to get rich and famous, man.

Some of us hopped online in the 90s and 2000s 'cause it was FUN to chat with people all over the world... for free!

Baby, we grew up when it cost a zillion dollars to call long distance! We had pen pals at school!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

how are you still up and walking around after being slammed like that

I understand all the reasons why it would have made her life a million times more complicated if that fist had made contact, but also like ........ she deserved to get to do it

Literally the best thing about romance novels is the author will be like “this family has five brothers and they’re all good-looking. And queer” and I’m like “yes absolutely, here’s my money and time, thank you.”

I'm tired of learning new names to mourn. All these people should have lived long lives known to their friends and family in loving obscurity, but instead hatred and greed have made them into famous casualties on the front line.

It didn't have to be this way. But here the fuck we are.

The entire point of the Bill of Rights is so we don’t HAVE to spend our time yelling at electeds about stopping torture or secret police or kidnapping a fucking five-year-old. This is as straightforward a question as it gets.

yeah if I was NATO the big worry isn’t just “Trump has gone off the rails,” it’s “wow okay so we have NO assurance that, even if this guy is replaced by someone good, y’all can sustain that for the long term and stop another Trump from happening.” every 4 years they have to expect this could happen
I'm not some highly paid pundit, nor a historian, and hell, I only have a communications degree from a state universtiy, but I have to think that the thing that is most troubling for the rest of the world is not the president — but that neither our Congress nor our SCOTUS are stopping him.

I wish I could make my dad understand that whenever he interrupts me the "needing transition time between tasks" timer resets & makes my ability to do things diminish. He likes to share his every thought whenever he walks past my room, even if that means making me take me headphones off to hear it.

My bestie sent my son a Nirvana t shirt for his bday with a card saying that she and I saw them play Reading when we were 17.

He is now agonisingly torn between "this thing is cool" and "my mum did this thing". Watching cognitive dissonance explode his head in real time.

Reminder on this MLK Day that you can't win the class war without also reckoning with racism. The two are always going to be inseparable.

You're not truly for labor rights if you're not also against racism.

older women in Mississippi were sometimes REAL WEIRD about my best friend being Dr. Her Last Name and not Dr. Her Husband’s Last Name, because they didn’t like being reminded that it is just a choice you can make & they too could have opted out instead of yielding to an unexamined default

… anyway
AI sits in billions of phones. Refusing to engage won't stop it, just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge. Demand ownership and control, not abstinence.
Abstinence From AI Is Not the Answer
Opinion | Refusing to use AI won’t protect society. Responsible resistance must include gaining knowledge about it.
