@perkynurples Love it! I keep having Honeybody by Kishi Bashi on a loop in my brain, picturing them going on an official Date 🥰

A reminder to any queer person not understanding riots and looting.

The Stonewall Uprising was 5 days of rioting, looting, and VIOLENT protests against the police.

These RIOTS, led by Black & brown trans & queer folx were the catalyst for the reason we have LGBTQ rights today.

The prevalence of tweets going around about people unable to maintain their undercuts suggests that a lot of post-apocalyptic haircuts in movies are highly unrealistic

Apparently a few trans people in the 1940s claimed their transition was caused by some mysterious disorder. Like "yeah I suddenly turned into a woman. Must be a tumor it something. Oh well, I guess it's what nature intended. No sense in fighting it"

And cis people just bought it

Ableds,

Let me ask you a serious question:

If you had an incident or accident that required you to use a wheelchair, how many of you would be able to go home and lie down in your bed upon being released from the hospital?

The privacy paranoid among us have long worried that all of our online photos would be scraped to create a universal face recognition app. My friends, it happened and it’s here: https://t.co/qfv5b27mzg

"My twists have become such a synonymous & a conflated part of not only my personal identity & how I show up in the world, but my political brand. And that's why I think it's important that I'm transparent about this new normal & living with alopecia." — @AyannaPressley

At the end of 2020, instead of 30 Under 30 and NextGen lists, please profile middle-aged people who just got their big breaks. I want to read about a mother of 2 who published her first novel, a director who released their first studio feature at 47, THAT'S THE LIST WE WANT.

Netflix made $845 million in profit and paid $0 in taxes. Never ever feel badly about sharing your account with your entire neighborhood.

there are a lot of weird guys who took the wrong message from Pride and Prejudice and think it’s about modest women who submit to their husbands. bro, Lizzie Bennet was a scandalously free-spirited woman and she would never marry you.

Today's gender is annoyed.

[Paul F. Tompkins @PFTompkins]

This is great and what makes it so great is that every question she is asked is clearly supposed to be a mic drop gotcha that they never imagined anyone could answer

Here's an excerpt from an essay on burnout for people experiencing it and people being impacted by burnout behavior of someone else. Been working on this essay for 10 years, wanted to share a bit of it. Sadly always seems relevant! https://t.co/W5pEwZAVfn

People say “why are you doing this fun thing when the world is burning?” but you weren’t made to binge the world’s destruction and there’s good in pursuing joy where you can find it. This idea that “things only matter if they have a clear use” is one reason we’re in this crisis.

[kristian steffany @kksteffany]

if you ask me: the wrong Amazon is burning, the wrong ICE is dissolving, and the wrong class is in power

[Ebba @ebbasofia_]

Sámis aren’t the Indigenous people of Sweden - we are the Indigenous people of Sápmi, which has been (and continues to be) colonized by Sweden. Sweden is built upon colonization.
