1,328 Americans died of C0VlD last week. It’s the 16th straight week with more than 1,000 deaths. They were assured by those they trust that it was safe to “live their lives” and they didn’t make it out of 2023. Year 5 of the pandemīc is under way with no sign of it being over.

Thin writers write fat characters in the weirdest way because they’re not interested in fat people’s real experiences, they’re interested in their imagination of what it would be like if they became fat.

@EzioAKS @torr_reor @JoeKassabian @Terror_Alarm We're super fucked before that because even non-sentient AIs just reflect the fascist desires of humans, and those reflections will drive real people's behavior. "Terror Alarm" there is ringing the alarms to drive instances of stochastic terrorism.

@PAldermast44799 You swore at me, complained because a deconstructionist explanation refused to adhere to your (non-deconstructionist) expectations, and whined because you didn't like the answers. I *have* answered, and said that's all I was willing to do today. Enjoy your block.

@PAldermast44799 Read some books by abolitionists if you want to learn more. That's all I'm offering today. Good afternoon, and have a nice day!

[Hellianne @hellianne]

@PAldermast44799 Abolition is a call to set aside the goal of police/prison reform (which inevitably ends with preserving protection of capital, exploitation of BIPOCs, etc. as the central goal) with a goal of true transformation.

@Swilua @Pixelfish @surliertexan Not just a mormon thing. A bunch of "swing kids" flooded my local contra dance scene around then to the point we had to post "no aerials" signs. Young folks sometimes don't think ahead, and crowded floor + pattern dances + lifts = exciting injuries.

I have bunch bluesky invite codes that I want to give to BIPOC, we need to diversify the platform. If your interested please leave a reply. And please retweet.

An important take away in this story is that we tend to generalize that the older gens are dangerous and a problem (and in some cases that's true) but the kids are not alright. For every Greta Thunberg there are dozens of young boys being radicalized by ppl like Brand & Tate.

[Hellianne @hellianne]

@lizfischer0 Yes, but I didn’t learn it while working on my English BA or MA. It came up when I’d been working in tech for several years.

@PlanetofFinks I think it was more that her seat on the Judiciary Committee was essential. Without her or someone else friendly to Biden in that seat, his nominees to the courts—including SCOTUS—won’t go anywhere.

[TERFS OUT OF ART @TERFsOutOfArt]

Recap: we asked @pl_henderson1 why @womensart1 excludes trans women. She replied that LBTQ people are promoted & blocked us, we pressed that only AFAB people are but got no reply, a TERF army descended on us to defend her, she liked & thanked them. @womensart1 is a TERF platform.

@TheTinaVasquez @AllAboveAll This bit is something else:
"...we remain steadfast that true abortion justice must incorporate racial justice... As our organization enters this time of immense evolution, it will be done so through a lens that prioritizes better serving communities of color."

@noveldevice @UrsulaV A week-long intensive workshop I attended for the first time a few years back is held at a campground where the beds are wooden platforms with a thing that barely qualifies as a mattress. The next year, I got a hotel room down the road and slept in luxury every night. Worth it.
