Tell every person you know that the GOP wants to ban porn. Let them imagine a hellscape where they both have no human rights and no legal sources of weird smut to drown their sorrows in
Yes, I absolutely do think over half the country cares about having their basic human rights taken away by a bunch of authoritarian freaks. For Christโ€™s sake, Project 2025 calls for banning PORN. We can get voters mad about this.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)
The governors of a dozen Republican-led states โ€” AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY โ€” opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

A lot of people used this as a springboard to mock Gen Z fashion trends and I want to make it clear, those people are missing the point. No fashion trend is superior. It's all fake. Who gives a shit. Wear what makes you happy and let other people do their thing!
Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them. I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.

I had a chat with the conservative mom of a friend today. We talked about a bunch of stuff and I learned several interesting things, among them, that religious conservatives are often PRO-CHOICE AND THINK THE SUPREME COURT IS INSANE. Run on Dobbs. Run on justices and court reform. Do it.
Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

As the daughter of a Black Vietnam vet who suffered life long pain from a service related injury but was constantly turned away from care by the VA I canโ€™t even bring myself to read this. My father eventually died of a treatable condition at 62 b/c he was sent home to take ibuprofen by a VA doc.
A 2017 internal Veterans Affairs report shows Black veterans were more often denied benefits for PTSD than their white counterparts. The analysis crunched claims data from fiscal year 2011 through 2016. And disparate treatment started after WWI when it was still called shell shock. It continues.

Because people seem to not understand how "AI" uses so much water, here's a quick+dirty breakdown: The more data centers you have & the more traditional power you use, the more water you 1a) use To cool & 1b) lose, because they arent perfectly sealed systems, & 2) will need to boil to run turbines.
Remember when some of y'all got real mad at me for doing some back-of-the-napkin math about how much water "AI" likely uses, in light of the fact that they refuse to release their actual numbers? Anyway.

The robot is not a bargaining unit member and must not be given bargaining unit work. Faculty unions should be looking over their contracts right now, figuring out exactly how to grieve or otherwise oppose the introduction of these systems.

Rage of Light - Judas Beauty is Betrayal - Dark Horse Lies Behind Your Eyes - Fake Love Lauren Basic - Ashes The video for the second one is bananas. And I don't think Stars is famous bc people are always surprised when I say Lacuna Coil's version is a cover, but I prefer the LC version.
Other than Hurt by Johnny Cash and any version of The Sound of Silence, what are your favorite cover versions of famous songs?

I decided to reread a chaos magic book I originally read in the aughts. It reminded me of why chaos magic never worked out for me then - undiagnosed ADHD doesn't play well with "completely control your movement, breathing, and thoughts"... Not happening even now, not even with meds.

this is your regular reminder that disability justice has to be a thing because our society is thoroughly imbuedโ€”sometimes invisibly soโ€”with ableism that devalues disabled lives. even though anyone of any community can become disabled at any time.

My script for the charm casting class is done. I just need to create some exercises. But in an hour and a half I'm going to see my friend, so I don't want to start now, hyperfocus, & be angy at myself when it's time to go. Good thing Friend likes to do parallel play and chat about woo woo things.
