so much of what passes as political pragmatism is just a commitment to cementing the limits of the current system as the limits of your own imagination. “realism” is a flattering way to explain away a deep psychological attachment to the status quo

Sometimes it feels like having a memory that goes back more than five years is like a super power on the left

as an adult with incredibly poor self regulation skills, intense social ineptitude, and extreme people pleasing tendencies somehow i am the mediator for my coworkers and best regulator for the neurodivergent kids… heavy is the head etc….

the only stable job of my life, working in early childhood care-only job i’m actually good at in a way that can pay my rent, and there’s not enough kids to keep schools open and no money from the government, and it’s all doomed to fall apart lol 🙃

childcare really is made up so much of finding oneself in the midst of enmeshement between children, parents, other caregivers, other children, like lost in the web of early deep emotionally definitional experiences of a developing person

strong gut feeling this is a “why is there a dead bird in this mine shaft” moment for coming, escalating attacks on queer life.

I hope there is deeper reporting on this: RFK’s AIDS denialism, Vance’s anti-porn extremism — a strategy of looking for “weak” points then taking miles

Insanely amazing news

Whole Foods went completely scorched earth — full on intimidation, firing a worker leader, depriving the whole store of a raise, etc — and still the workers voted for a union anyways

Leonard Peltier is granted clemency! He’s out of prison and commuted to home confinement. This is a huge win for grassroots Indigenous movements who kept his campaign alive and a moral indictment on the system and people who kept him unjustly imprisoned for half a century.

I made friends with another bird, which I don't know the name of. But one who likes to hop & fly into the air and catch flying bugs.
