A thing I really struggle with is when it's worth trying to correct people who are on the same side as me, and when it's not. People say the wildest shit on here, that is often completely inaccurate, and it's hard for me to tell when it's inaccurate in a harmful way, vs just kind of annoying.

Long elections waste immense amounts of money. they harass potential voters into apathy. They play into the horse-race, scandal-fed view of politics that feeds deeply unserious media coverage. They NOT INCIDENTALLY make it difficult/impossible for campaigns to deal with last-minute surprises.

note how long it took the French from calling the election to holding not 1 but 2 votes? and organizing the shit out of the second one? LESS THAN ONE MONTH A national election does not have to be a painful 1.5-2 year process! the US election campaign should quite honestly not even have started yet!!

This, along with the “get knocked down, get back up” talk is so distressing. This is not a Chumbawuma song! It is the presidency!

Some people just can't help to reply to posts with some real weird shit that comes from whatever is going on in their lives and not much you can say but "hey dude, that was weird"

I am once again begging some of you to log off, stop scold-tweeting, and find some local ways to get involved in your community.

Something that's clear and very helpful to keep in mind is that I have ZERO influence over what will happen re: who the Democratic nominee will be at the August convention. So I'm going to keep it moving and focus on what I can influence.

The Supreme Court effectively destroying OSHA in parallel to the project of bringing semiconductor fabs back to the United States seems like an important thing to keep an eye on given the industry left the USA in part bc of heightened health and safety concerns (context in Verge piece)

"exposing how $77 million in federal welfare funds went to athletes, cronies and pet projects, she and her editor... Sued for defamation by the state’s former governor"

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US. Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare. The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it. Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail. www.nbcnews.com/investigatio...

The United States Welcomes You by Tracy K. Smith

Sharing this with my partner to justify my hoards of zines and old indie publications that I don't think anybody else has copies of anymore.

ICMYI I wrote about the importance of being a citizen archivist. We've seen so much incredible art and writing from marginalized people, and we need to preserve it in the face of a huge, well-funded backlash. This is something concrete you personally can do! buttondown.email/charliejane/...

We Should All Be Archivistsbuttondown.email Lately, I keep obsessing about two seemingly opposing but interrelated trends: 1) The past decade has seen an incredible bounty of art and self-expression...

Korean book Twitter taught me this. We publish A LOT—highly literate nation, invented moveable metal type centuries before Europe—but the print runs are usually minimal. So if you see anything remotely interesting, just buy it. It won’t always be in print. Read it later, but buy it NOW.

Journalist disclaimer: No clue if this is true but I would totally believe it. And it's too fun to resist sharing. (original post here: www.tumblr.com/gothiccharms...)

honestly they’re kinda cooking with this

I just accidentally deleted all the emails I had marked as unread as a way to eventually come back to them and reply. Turns out you can't sort your trash by "date deleted" on gmail. Sooooo.... if I owe you an email please follow up I guess. Fun. Sorry.

My most beloved nerds: who is the best person to talk to in the bioethics realm about privacy after death. As in: after you die, who has the right to know things about your body/health/biology? What protections exist and/or should exist?

A lot of "Biden should do the funniest thing" people get big mad when activists destroy property or disrupt their lives in some way, just saying.

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

Old men be normal about my tattoos challenge.

soccer 🤝 SCOTUS

it's a deep betrayal when you cannot trust the people whose job it is to interpret the rules. America has been let down today, and we will not forget

I mean if I was playing against Christian Pulisic, I too would simply hack at his ankles and shove him around. However....

lmao Suarez is on, as if this game needs more violent chaos

As much as this ref sucks you can't win if you don't score and we aren't making enough chances. Can't blame this result on the ref (even if he is absurdly bad at his job).
