after months of resistance i finally started watching Succession. i am only partway through season 1 but ... does this ever move beyond like "rich fuckheads being assholes to everyone around them"? is it corporate downton abbey? bc i am trying but so far holy fuck i cannot care about these people

it's almost as if they dont want anyone to know how many kids are going hungry in their state.. there is no good reason why a governor should even be able to stand between starving children and a FEDERAL program, period. none.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

sunset, reykjavík, approx. 1am summer is brief at this latitude, and sunny days even briefer. i try my best to make it a point to get out and soak up those photons while they last, the memories of which get me through the long dark winters. p sure there's a lesson in that somewhere idk

Highly recommending these two books from @dukepress.bsky.social Again. "Black Madness :: Mad Blackness" by Therí Alyce Pickens "How to Go Mad without Losing Your Mind: Madness and Black Radical Creativity" by La Marr Jurelle Bruce #BlackSky #DisabilityPrideMonth #InvisibleDisability

It is! I read it together with "Black Madness : Mad Blackness" by Therí A. Pickens. They both critically explore Blackness & disability (madness in particular) from different entry points. And using music/musicians (How to Go Mad) & speculative fiction by Black women (Black Madness..) is brilliant.

The Intersections of Blackness and Disabilitywww.aaihs.org I’m listening to jazz as I write this review. This was an intentional decision as I felt Therí Alyce Pickens’s Black Madness :: Mad Blackness gave me the same feeling hearing jazz gives me as I read i...

exactly this. "posting accomplishes nothing" is such a bad take. like saying people you met online aren't "real" friends. social media is a communication tool, through which you can educate, agitate, organise, fundraise, etc. if you're not seeing this you need to follow more and/or different people

Posting has kept me alive, fed, and reasonably sane. Speak for yourself.

this man is deploying the kinda shit a little league baseball coach would say bc that's how low the stakes are for him specifically. he'll be just fine no matter what. that's how little this means to him.

That's not, in fact, what this is all about x.com/nikkimcr/sta...

hey remember that weird larouchie guy who tried to make "maga communism" happen by signing up on truth dot social bc he thought trumpists were proles and not independently wealthy or business owners and all he got were a bunch of folks telling him dems were commies and he just sorta gave up

thinking about Yoko Ono's Imagine Peace Tower. a column of light that can reach 4,000m into the sky. on winter nights here in Reykjavík it adds an otherworldly element to our town. what i esp like about it is if you look closely, the tower's "peak" has no definite end. it just melts into the night.

Spreading opposing talking views with no critical analysis or counter-arguments, or restating them first, helps them win. But if you must, serve it inside George Lakoff's "Truth Sandwich" 🥪 - Start with the truth. The first frame gets the advantage. - Indicate the lie. - Return to the truth.

Part of what we're doing now to survive this stage of America's fascism is funding our mutual networks of survival. Part of that is funding southern abortion funds. This abortion fund serves South Carolinians & other southerners traveling there to get abortion care now that rights are under threat.

South Carolina has been fighting for accessible abortion long before the Dobbs decision, and we’re still here fighting now. The need keeps increasing while the resources decrease, but we are scrappy and will continue to find ways to get South Carolinians (+ all Southerners) the care they deserve.

Nature does not abhor a vacuum. 99.9999999999999999999958% of the Universe is empty. The rest is old boots and stars and tea stains and you. But atoms are also 99.9999999996% empty. Everything is mostly nothing really. Looking at it that way, it’s easy to justify eating an entire tub of ice cream.

July 4th is very rough on my dog (he is a royalist and considers George Washington a traitor)

important reminder:

It's a fact that all interactions a white person has with a Black person are conditioned by one is white & one is Black. If whites think their behavior towards Black people isn't influenced by that, it's their brainwashing from white supremacy. You do not have to know you're racist to be racist.

the sneering condescension of a garden variety centrist aside "you can have your way when you're dead" is an unbelievable thing to tell trans people facing two parties hostile to us breathing in public

I guess it's easier to say this if you're not from a demographic the party leader thinks have too many rights and wants to chat amicably with people who want you locked up for existing

when will we have the technology to let me text my cat while i'm at work and ask how he's doing
