mention loud & indiscreet; I wouldn't need everyone in line to know my business if I was indeed using welfare to pay for my food!)

A few weeks ago my card declined even though I had $ in my account, I believe it was just a glitchy card reader & I was ready to rescan my card, but the cashier LOUDLY asked if I needed to use food stamps. It rlly felt like a sexist microaggression - bc I'm a young woman I must

grocery store & they just asked him to try another card. (Btw, nothing wrong with needing gov aid, I've actually been on SNAP in the past, but the cashier was incredibly presumptuous since I did not pull out a SNAP/EBT card or anything & was paying with my debit card! Not to

No one thinks this. It takes an astonishing level of cope to believe this, especially when right wing politicians are constantly trying to pass “vaporize every animal on sight” bills and the “bulldoze every national park” acts

get this through your thick fucking heads: technology never shortens labor time on its own. no boss ever has said, "ah, now that these machines have production more efficient, i guess i can let my workers work less." only class struggle shortens labor time.

Obviously they don't have teeth and I should have known they just swallow prey whole but it was still unsettling to witness... that mouse straight down the gullet

[lys ⵣ @alliumdevourer]

Witnessed a great blue heron swallow a field mouse whole today... I stopped filming once it picked it up because I guess I assumed it was going to play with it's food for an ungodly amount of time like I see raptors do but it immediately scarfed that shit down without chewing

Torture and forced medical experiments in the name of “preserving fertility”.

Oh but we’re not allowed to call them nazis, that’d be extremely offensive.

one of the craziest parts of love is how it turns ordinary things sacred. a side of the bed. a street corner. a stupid coffee shop. suddenly everything is haunted by tenderness

"What if a drug addict used your tax dollars to get SNAP benefits?"

The government uses my tax dollars to bomb villages, arm warlords, fund coups, and trafficks children through proxy states. If a "junkie" eats because of me, that's the most moral thing my taxes have done.

This is such an important essay, I can't believe it's never been published in English before. Really glad that we've been able to work with the Institute for Palestine Studies to get it the anglophone readership it deserves.

[The Road Jess Travelled @JessPected]

Hundreds of thousands of men congregate in numerous spaces to conspire to rape their wives & have them raped by other men & the news calls it "sleep porn." Absolutely allergic to describing men's violence against women.

[rayne fisher-quann @raynefq]

yes!!!

[The Road Jess Travelled @JessPected]

When we talk about men being submissive to other men, it includes this purity culture nonsense. Grooming daughters as sexual gifts for other men is men submitting to & seeking approval from men.

it never stops making my heart twinkle how the best things happen to me when i am brave, when i do what i don’t want to do, when i give up something (my peace, my comfort, my time), when i go against “common” advice, when i trust myself and my appetite for risk/change
