Omg I randomly emailed her in February and got a response. I really liked what she said about unionizing even tho she was a progressive democrat.

We're very saddened to hear about the passing of Jane McAlevey, a true legend in labor organizing. May her memory be a blessing. Her lessons certainly are.

Is anyone using AI to get rid of abusers? Bring me a new The Usual Suspects and House of Cards. Let me have my Crybaby and Benny and Joon nostalgia. Every Cosby episode with music deserves a new life. While we're at it, please remove Tarantino cameos. Also redo SA scenes with a humane gaze. Etc.

Oops all not getting out of bed!

Can anyone tell me how I would feel about news from France if I understood the news from France which I never do bc context is always insufficient.

What news from France?

I don't want to be a snob but maybe I don't know what a deep clean is cuz I'm in here cleaning??

Pls help

google is not the only problem with the internet!! i am trying to find PICTURES of how to take apart an office chair (the tilt/lock mechanism) and all i can find is nonsense!

Anxious, with cause

Is it autistic to feel like consent makes it your fault? (this is not about SA! like it can be if you're not knee jerk about it, but I do not need lectures on consent or victim blaming.)

Okay but what I meant to ask was Should I write essays?

Need some lil cartoon magical flying aunties to sing a song that cleans and unpacks.

"Peer reviewed" is such a loaded phrase anymore. Like. You want your science to be reviewed by people who understand the field so you don't end up with bullshit like the ROGD paper, but also you want to ensure your science isn't being gatekept by people with unexamined biases.

What millennial would want to live forever?? We are TIRED

Going into the abyss. Anyone want anything?

Cannot believe I spent decades concerned about definitions and not once noticed that murder and death were compared to mild inconveniences.

I know I'm a thousand years behind but a death row pardon two minutes too late is NOTHING LIKE a black fly in your chardonnay????

“What fresh fuckery is this?” I say while putting aside the expired fuckery.

Where do we go to hide from our responsibilities??

Recently finished this and really liked it! As the choir the book is preaching to, I didn’t expect much new stuff coming in, but I didn’t know the extent to which Dred Scott and anti-Brown forces all used originalism. Maybe the best argument against it.

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

Reminder to share how Black soldiers returning from WWII with "shell-shock" (PTSD) were institutionalized at a higher rate than other* soldiers who were given out-patient mental health services that allowed them to remain in their communities. PTSD was only added to DSM IN 1980, already racialized.

How the VA Fails Veterans on Mental Health A ProPublica analysis of 313 studies conducted by the agency’s inspector general in recent years shows repeated failures in behavioral care. The breakdowns have had fatal consequences.

"Since the colonial era, in times of peace and war, the African American experience of inequality included being denied medical treatment equal to that received by white peers. Unequal treatment continued during WWI. Not even the era's increasing humanitarian efforts were immune to inequality."

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.
