Next time you see someone quote Audre Lorde's 'master's tools' at you, ask them 2 questions: 1. Can you please define what YOU think the master's tools are currently? 2. What else does she say in that essay?

It’s interesting that some consistently expect others to take risks that they do not take themselves.

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

Being really annoying is praxis. Phone, email, fax, show up in person if that’s an option. Just don’t let up until you’re too irritating to ignore.

the unexpected thing about Talking To Your Representatives is that it can actually work, if enough people are similarly mad about the same thing. you won’t get the elected on the phone. but they will hear about it from their annoyed staff, who might not have time to do anything else

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

Joe Biden’s empathy for his fuckup son is one of the single most humanizing things about him and this is incredibly confusing to people who became fascists because their blue-haired enby grandchild told them no one says “Oriental” anymore

It’s nice to see so much support for felons! Looking forward to the movement to give them universal voting rights and eliminate the discrimination against them in employment and housing!

It's so cool when a restaurant has an Instagram account instead of a website. I don't even want to see your menu. One photograph of a signature cocktail or pasta posted every week is plenty for me! Leave something to the imagination!

If you used to think that most people were brave, I hope that this current historical moment has disabused you of this idea. The vast majority of people are in fact not brave.

Once again struck that we are expected to take some statement by random student as definitive of the aims of pro-Palestianians but are required to discount the explicitly genocidal ravings of an actual Israeli minister as hyperbolic and irrelevant to assessing the aims of the Israeli government
