@combat_muffin @docsquiddy the term "gen x" was popularized in the late 80s. "kids these days" discourse has been happening for literally centuries; terms for the newest cohort in us generations has been common since at least the late 1800s. (the 1890 periodicals were *saucy* about it.)

@AndrewM77029408 @gunsnrosesgirl3 professionally she's a marine biologist, so she also posts cute & educational content featuring beavers while they're with her. she works with woodlife wildlife rescue.

@AndrewM77029408 @gunsnrosesgirl3 her backyard has more beaver-y features installed for them, but as social creatures (who won't be reintroduced to wild until adulthood), they get to spend time in her human space.

Beautiful action from @theDykeProject, which has hacked over 100 ads across TfL bus, rail and tube networks to share queer Palestinian stories, and show queer solidarity with Palestinians.

Witnessing the genocide of Palestinians in real time over the last few weeks should have fully swayed you in favor of Palestinian liberation. If it hasn’t, then idk what else to tell you. You are not a good person. You are not intelligent. You are a danger to everyone around you

Even people who are addicted to drugs can pay their rent if it’s affordable.

We were drug addicted 20-somethings making minimum wage. Yet we never ended up in tents. We could pay our $300 rent.

Baltimore + Detroit have higher overdose rates, much lower homelessness. Low rents.

[noor @noorigami]

the amount of tedious admin work Palestinians are expected to produce to convince you we are human, even under genocide, is so demeaning.

I like it when something bad happens and the cops trot out the reason the local schools don’t have air conditioners

NC Senate passes new US House maps. Republicans will win 10 of 14 seats even if Democrats win the statewide vote, analysis shows. https://t.co/K4anHCNwBY

"Why even hold elections, when the maps are rigged from the beginning?" said Sen. Jay Chaudhuri, D-Wake. #ncpol #ncga

More Palestinian children have been massacred over the last 12 days than the total number of Israelis killed over the last 10 years

"Free speech advocates and groups that promote reading in prison say the increased crackdowns that limit who can mail books inside amount to harmful, de facto book bans while doing little to help prevent overdose deaths behind bars."
