Happy Pride, Oakland! East Bay Stonewall Democrats had our annual Pride Breakfast, and we also marched in the parade with Congresswoman @lateefahsimon.bsky.social and tabled at the event. Californians an important election is coming up: vote Yes on Prop 50 to help California win back Congress!
If you want any real traction on Instagram now you gotta turn your comics into a Reel. The TikTokification of all social media is very frustrating.
"It's worse than you can imagine-" No, no it isn't, I promise you. That isn't a flex, like most people who use Bluesky I'm a neurotic. But it does mean that phrases like "worse than you think" are often wrong, and "worse than you could imagine" is always wrong.
I think that the current culture of just Darkly Hinting at everything is actually really toxic, not in the least because when people build up the worst thing they can imagine and that isn't true they won't be able to accurately gauge how bad the true thing is.
Ughhh, not that guy π
Ehh Some people are assholes, most people are cool :P I'm not gonna change from that viewpoint, and you can't make me π

The court is acting like its legitimacy is inherent and we have to all go along with whatever insane shit it does, and I donβt think thatβs actually true.
I really do think that by that time, SCOTUS will have lost so much legitimacy that blue states will be regularly defying them. You can see the beginning of blue state rebellion happening already.
Both cis boys, though Sasha rarely bothers to correct the confused. Sasha is also as gay as the day is long, there has never been straight thought behind those halos. Alex, of course, is your bi king. Everyone else that appears is considered pretty nebulous unless its a plot point (like Sigilind)
Another reason we should build a mountain on top of Naperville
Yeah like, Mamdani himself seems pretty cool, more or less But most of his most vocal/ardent supporters? Good lord, don't get me started π
So just like everything else, the art of an endorsement, and it is an art, is complicated. Itβs not just signalling support, itβs more. You donβt want strategy and calculation, you want magic. Fantasy books are called fantasy for a reason. 10/10
They are just DYING to find a circular firing squad angle to expose. Nothing, not a single thing in politics is black and white. There is not one thing that exists in the political world that you can look at one angle of and say βI get it!β and be right. 9/
An endorsement is a strategic public display of support. Remember Taylor Swift? She endorsed Kamala the night of the debate, which was a year ago Wednesday. Do you think she didnβt support her before? 4/
Mamdani has said time and time again that he is talking to both Jeffries and Schumer at length and they are all on the same page. Jeffries just said he is not talking to Andrew Cuomo or Mayor Eric Adams and Mamdani corroborated that at as well. 3/
Okay, we need to talk about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, or rather, not Mamdani, cause this isnβt actually about him, which is a really important piece of this. No one wants @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov to endorse Mamdani cause it will help his campaign. 1/
The question in November 2024 was harm reduction, so maybe you can remind me what happened then?
People who have refused to "Vote Blue No Matter Who" in order to defeat the fascist corrupt Republicans for a decade or more have absolutely no standing to demand anyone else "Vote Blue No Matter Who" the moment one of THEIR candidates gets in. Especially when that candidate is DSA RED, not blue.
Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
Exactly. If you helped undermine Harris, you are not going to save us now that you got what you wanted. Feels grifty.
I donβt know that someone who failed to resist Trump when it mattered is an βeasy answerβ to the question of whoβs going to do it now.
Oh no, you do not get to throw that back at us like that Not how it works :P
Yeah, if voting for Harris, one of the clearest and most important moral choices you will ever face, wasnβt a bar you could clear, less than a year ago, I wouldnβt rely on you to feed my cat.

I'm sure this is probably a good conference, but why tf are they having the gov of North Dakota speaking? This seems to be a trend with both A. North Dakota govs wanting more housing despite being Republican, and being in the middle of nowhere and B. (next post)
Yeah this isn't as bad the ghouls at the Abundance con but it's still just....guys you don't have to make him a keynote
Iβm not gonna get super worked up over one house race in Illinois, if itβs all the same to everyone, thereβs a lot to keep track of
I dunno, is she gonna vote with the dem majority? If so, I, a person who doesnβt live in Illinois, am going to focus on other arguments.

Today is National Threatened Species Day, also called National Thylacine Day, a day that commemorates the death of the last known Tasmanian tiger. I have loved Thylacines since I was a kid playing Dangerous Creatures on Windows 3.1. Hobart is the name of LittleSofts' Thylacine friend β¨β€οΈ
Today, Sunday 9/7, is the last day for Early Voting for Democratic primaries in 11 CT cities and towns. If you miss Early Voting, you can vote Tuesday 9/9 at your regular polling place.

I read this stuff and I feel like I've lost my mind
Cishet white guy "urbanists" ignoring all the bad shit Repubs say or do just because "they want more housing!" Like, the quality, location, built environment, culture, of where the housing actually is matters, you know Especially if you aren't, yknow, a cishet white guy π
(And look where Burgum is now, FFS π)
(Though I will say, one or two tiny points in his favor, he didn't vote to overturn the 2020 election when he was in congress, and he also voted for the Respect for Marriage act, so idk) (I think my broader point still stands, though :V)
Random people or experts is one thing, but someone with actual political power, who's using it in a mostly not-goof way, despite having one issue you agree with him on? Yeah.
I feel like you could find a better speaker for your event, especially when you have plenty of other people already doing it, at your very same event I get difference of ideas, viewpoints, blah blah blah, but that shouldn't include people like this (with actual power)
Like, look up a bit about this guy He's certainly not the worst, but he's still your bog-standard anti-trans, anti-abortion, anti-public school/public good, vaguely racist Republican
Blue/purple states have better urbanism multiplying factors in their cities, such as better transit, walkability, resources, culture, etc As much as I tend to agree with the whole "YIMBY" idea, people like this are annoying, and definitely a problem with it :P
And yes, I very well know (and am a proponent of) there being cool and good people in states where their gov/some people suck, obvi, but that doesn't mean we should convince people to move there en masse
Getting flashbacks to that stupid ugly discourse about Doug Burgum and this very same issue from Twitter years ago πͺ Like, no offense, but some "red" states kinda suck Building homes in blue states is imo, bette and more worthwhile, especially for queer people, women, POC, disabled people, etc

I'll just give up and become one with the loam, because a victory isn't worth it unless we curbstomp the opposition into pink mist on the first try
"Narrow victories won in an environment being deliberately manipulated and gerrymandered into making us lose isn't enough" Oh good, might as well just lay down and die then lmao
Like, ultimately, economic modeling only works in stable scenarios, and we aren't in one right now, so everyone's flying blind.
I'm not bothering to guess. Like, a bunch of smart people were saying "empty shelves by May" and then "Okay, maybe not empty shelves, but CPI is going to undergo hyperinflation by August" and neither of those things have really happened.
True, though I do think we're still gonna see some manner of economic strife from the wild back-and-forth of all the foreign trade bullshit that's been going on, I just think it's gonna be more of a gradual enshittification rather than something that happens all at once
(And, I mean, the former genuinely may never "hit" like people think they will, between the courts seeming to be not for this to the point even Republican insiders don't think it flies and a considerable number of companies using that info to decide to eat the tariffs for now, but still.)
We should not have started naming generations with "X". We ran out of letters so quickly
Yeah. Speech which harms and endangers others is not protected, and we should end the carve-out that exists in practice for these bigoted ideologies.
Teaching a child bigotry is a kind of psychic mutilation. It stunts their personal growth and cuts them off from opportunities later in life-- to learn from minorities, to thrive while working with and for minorities.
Sure sounds like an endorsement, though
They still are, to be clear :P
and then everything today gets measured in terms of that revolution. all the ordinary norms of decency and so forth go out the window; what matters is zeal for the revolution, which by definition is the highest good--so any care for anything else is inherently inferior
to me one of the big ways people try to make it work is via a secular millenarianism. instead of the rapture you have the revolution--the moment when the sins of the world are redeemed, the kingdom of heaven arrives, the highest good etc etc--
It's really specifically Baptist and Evangelical Christianity (which are not Christian at all, especially in a modern context) which decouple the virtues and faith of Christianity with any real expectation to live by a moral creed, as opposed to aspiring to perfection while wallowing in perdition.
"Oh, but you see, the reason I sent an actionable threat to a guy who used to work for an insurance company is simply that I *care too much*, my compassion for all the people suffering from denied claims took control of my body and made me describe how I wanted to subject him to scaphism!"
Once you have to admit you can't put your behavioral ideal as a literal divine superhuman who lived a perfect or near-perfect life, suddenly you can't use moral values to shame people who you don't like but aren't committing egregious wrongs, and you can't use virtues as shields for vice.
Purity of intention mattering more than actual actions? Moral goods being irredeemably tainted by any kind of personal benefit on the actor? Demanding performance of unlimited compassion/selflessness? All shit from Bible Study.
ayo?

Somehow, I heard about this in day camp once when I was little, when we were doing some kind of soda tasting/making activity π It's one the random tidbits of information that'll live in my head forever, lol :P :D

...mamas and papas who'd been sending their kids to sell frutas and bacon-wrapped hot dogs because they were citizens were out in person, smiling and selling. The sidewalk flea markets were full. Today was happy. 4/
Los Angeles is back in action. The neighborhood parks were thronged today, abuelitas and little children, full families and stragglers in the sun. The playgrounds were *hopping* and I saw venderos I hadn't seen in ages... 3/
It started a couple weeks ago. The ICE-watch notices slowed down from a river to stream, then to a trickle. The parks and playgrounds in the neighborhoods that had been empty showed signs of life, the age of the average street vendors started to rise and now, today, officially... 2/
Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/
