And that’s not a life philosophy. That’s just facts. It’s no one’s fault but your own if you’re ignorant of them at your age.

No one’s life is being changed in any meaningful way by newsome’s actions (unless they’re homeless…), so there is no reason for anyone to look at what newsome’s team is doing with the posting and change their mind.

It’s just that actual governance, and doing it well, is very very boring. It’s not the stuff of fun tweets. Owning someone on the internet is not effective because it’s not actual governance. No policy is getting implemented. No one is getting the funds they needed.

The biggest mistake liberals make on media issues is assuming the mainstream media gives a single fuck. They don’t care. They’re rich and they’re white and they’re protected. None of this affects them. They don’t give a shit. If you understand this fact then the tone of the coverage makes sense.

A particularly insidious aspect of misogyny is that the conditions of women's oppression are largely sentimentalized as love, and so to be in favor of women's freedom in meaningful terms is interpreted as being at war with interpersonal love

Childbearing is physically dangerous & painful for women; childrearing is an exhausting, degraded, isolating, and impoverishing endeavor that annihilates women’s other opportunities & goals. When women are free, they choose fewer children. There is no way to make them have more that is not violent.

When there is no one to represent you where these decisions are being made, the best you can hope for is obliviousness and the worst you can expect is animus. Every decision will be made on that spectrum though, and all will have discriminatory impact on the groups that were not present.

RFK is a singularly horrible & bizarre person, but he is able to exploit the culture's ableism for his eugenicist plans, the revival of ableist language that had once been banished is part of it, because this language is used to justify real life brutality against us & that's its historical root.

This is so true, but I don’t think I’m alone in finding it hard to focus lately. One trick I use for getting back into reading is starting with something fun and easy that I know I’ll get through quickly, like a mystery. Do you have any tricks for getting back to your books? #BookSky

I usually read four books at a time (I have adhd and this is what works for me lol) and I try to read just one chapter/section from each every day. You end up taking longer to finish a book, but you also get to sit with it longer, and I find I get more out of this slower approach to reading.

I need everyone to think for a moment about how many presidential elections there have been in this nation’s history and if that is, in fact, a large enough sample size to make any sort of serious conclusions. Because I think “Nate Silverism” might be more dangerous to our politics than this.

When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.
