As a huge fan of @Neilhimself , his retellings of Norse mythology had me drawing my own parallels on how similar Ragnarok is to a nuclear apocalypse. Here’s what we can learn from Ragnarok when it comes to our nuclear arsenal. (1/7) https://t.co/RuCNmnpkJA

I don’t understand why nuclear disarmament is so ‘controversial.’ Yeah, I’m not afraid to say I prefer living without an existential threat??

[Jasmine Owens @j_owens004]

Now that everyone has seemed to accept that manels are bad practice, can we also add to that all-white panels? Surely there’s *at least* one POC expert in your field??? It’s not cute

Cancer caused by nuclear weapons does not expire. We must expand and renew the Radiation Exposure Act! https://t.co/8JDKPKum6E

SLCM's were retired in 2010 because they were unnecessary, it is absurd that Biden is continuing their revival at the cost of $9 billion. What is necessary, is making sure this program isn't brought back to life.

@TrisInToledo @SofiaErnestina @rock_the_catbox Thank you to everyone at @BeyondtheBomb for your leadership! I’m glad to positively contribute to the world in any way 💗

Read my blog post about Korra and the connections of diplomacy and decreased militarization! ☺️

[Global Zero Action @GZ_Action]

"What we can take away from Korra is the importance of diplomacy and the need for decreased militarization, rather than increased violence."

Does a tv show understand diplomacy better than the U.S. government?👀

The only stockpiling we need is of anime content and goods, not nuclear weapons

@smollyhurley I literally have a separate account just so I can post weeb stuff lol but I feel that this is essential to share along with the more ‘professional’ and activist tweets 😌

Maybe you can’t paint or sculpt or draw, but maybe you can imagine a new world. That is still creativity my friend.

Using an intersectional lens means you don’t need to be an expert because you have me and I don’t need to be an expert because I have you. Together.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

The fact that we know what the verdict SHOULD be but remain unsure of what it WILL be speaks volumes about our nation. We have work to do.
