normalise sending misogynistic mens tweets to their work, school, families and partners. people deserve to know if they’re associated with misogynists for their own safety
Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who knows that the House has not been decided yet, and there are ballots that need to be cured, so PLEASE help spread the word to California and Nevada:
ANSWER YOUR PHONES so we can make Hakeem Jeffries Speaker of the House.
PASS IT ON.
idk if anyone with ocd needs to hear this but this is not your fault. nothing you did caused this. what you ate for breakfast yesterday or the shoes you wore last week could not have changed anything. i love yall
Don’t kill yourself.
For your pets. So you can get up and get that apple danish you’ve been lowkey craving. Live for a pretty rock you found.
Who is going to cherish your OCs
And love your favorite show
Living for love is valid
Living out of spite is valid
Just live.
This sounds frivolous in the grand scheme of things but we need to support archivists, protect public libraries, protect journalists, writers, artists, photographers, and filmmakers. We need to continue to keep culture alive and educate our youth.
i'm going to be clinging to things like art, community, and empathy not just in the days to come, not just in the following years, but my entire life. those are the only things that make sense to me even when the rest of the world doesn't
Dear Publishing Industry,
This is where you double down. This is when you publish POC, LGBTQ, trans, and disabled authors more than ever.
Don’t be complicit.
I’m angry, but oddly it’s a cold anger this time.
I want to make something good and beautiful in this cruel and stupid world. I want to plant a tree or bake a loaf of bread — not out of cheerful optimism or even hope, but as a defiant middle finger to all this darkness.
The Fox of Greenwich Village walked down to the coffee shop. He hadn't slept. The worst had happened. The owner usually sung opera as he worked. Today, he wasn't even there, just one of his children, who looked tired. The Fox sat at his favourite seat and thought about what had happened, but he couldn't frame the pieces in his mind, they mismatched and refused to cohere. The door opened and shut, orders were made, first cigarettes lit. He thought about the smallness of his life, his music, his writing, his apartment, and wondered what anyone could do. He sighed and put his head in his paws. "No, no, no. Don't despair, don't give up," said a voice suddenly behind him, an old badger who'd been sitting at the counter, a professor he'd seen around from time to time, at poetry readings and parties. "We become the light, now, Fox, we become the light, the fire, the unquenchable flame, the kindling hope. There is no-one else. Remember that, we are all that will hold the line, there is no-one else." And with that, the badger paid his bill, picked up his stick and was gone, into the heavy autumn light, into the push and bustle of the street, without even waiting for a reply.
I’ll never understand how we all watched this live on television and didn’t immediately disqualify Donald Trump from public office for the rest of his life.
It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won. Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases won. Vladimir Putin won. Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won. Most of all: Fear Won. That's what hurts.
THREAD before I leave here for a while.
Lying in my bed, just a while ago, I could finally cry. One of my cats was already on the bed. The other jumped up on it. I could pet each of them using a hand. And I thought about how I have jokingly called them "children." /1
just a reminder, please check on your poc friends, your muslim friends, your lgbtq+ friends, women in your life. please hold them close. this is so many of their worst nightmares coming true. this is like a life or death situation for so many.
If I’m the Harris campaign I’m asking for a full investigation into this election because something is off and it doesn’t feel right that Russia literally called bomb threats to black polling districts in Georgia today which could’ve impacted voters. @KamalaHQ
