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.

Arkansas abortion rights groups collect enough signatures to advance ballot measurewww.nbcnews.com A measure to enshrine abortion rights in the ruby red state’s constitution is now one step closer to making the November ballot — but major obstacles remain.

I've noticed that the same guys who were screaming for Bill Clinton's head re: blow job (and yes the power gap was severely problematic) are Just fine with convicted felon/rapist/sexual assaulter/who raped at least 1 *child* partying with Epstein...

anyway, bluesky is absolutely not ready and not prepared for the flood of authoritarian-funded trolls that are already beginning to flood it, so, you know, block early, block often.

Another great reason to mask everywhere you go. In addition to protecting vulnerable populations and fighting authoritarian anti-mask sentiment and bans.

seeing that book blogger post going around from the person who went to ALA after she tested positive for COVID bc fuck everyone else I guess? genuinely disgusting.

Biden passed the most aggressive climate package in US history and probably ever again and I feel like the environmental beat is the only place we’re covering it

And fwiw, on domestic policy, legislative achievement and macro-economic stewardship the former is an argument I have made on our show many many many times.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”

No one has written about this (I will) but Project 2025 will destroy federal lands as we know it as well as any progress towards recognizing Native peoples.

Today, the federal government put itself on the right side of history by seeking, for the 1st time, to establish the precedent that every worker in America has the right to shade, water & rest while working in temps that could kill them. -UFW President Teresa Romero www.politico.com/news/2024/07...

It is Disability Pride Month - the perfect time to learn about ALT text and start using it! www.perkins.org/resource/how...

Thanks! I've now fixed this so henceforth all my images will have alt text.

For Disability Pride Month I’m once again begging for more artists to start considering accessibility and add alt text to your images. It helps low/no vision folks, neurodivergent folks, and more. Plus alt text shows up in searches! There’s a toggle in settings so you won’t forget. 👇

This is one of the most dystopian signs I've ever seen. Republicans are quickly turning this country into an unrecognizable freakshow.

I stopped the podcast to make sure Boy paid attention that we were passing through Wallace, Idaho. It did not ring any bells with him. But now he knows about the miners' strike & the Pinkertons & the governor sending in troops. You should too. 1892, and 1899.

I am struggling to understand why we have prisons and jails if not for the Amazon executives who made the decision to purchase a Medicare advantage program and staff the hotline with people who had no medical training.

Amazon's One Care triages all patient phone calls through a call center staffed with people with no medical training or experience, and who have two weeks' training total. Patients have died. Gift link: wapo.st/4cq019f

Leaked documents reveal patient safety issues at Amazon’s One Medicalwapo.st After One Medical began using a call center staffed by contractors with minimal training, patients with urgent symptoms failed to receive immediate help.

Watching everyone's memories of watching Blair Witch pour in is incredible. Person after person talking about dead silence in the theater, whole crowds flattened, people sobbing in the parking lot for 20 minutes, not being able to sleep. That's cinema, baby, and that's down to Heather Mike and Josh.

I'm so angry. There was so much fucking disability erasure at the start of the COVID pandemic PLUS the cuts to funding in health-related services BEFORE & DURING, & now some fuckers want to ban COVID masks - again putting disabled people at risk. fuck the ableism.

There’s passive voice, and then there’s running away from the active voice like your pants are on fire.

It says something about techbros that they created a machine that does nothing but endlessly bullshit and gaslight and spew biases and instantly thought "wow this thing is so intelligent, just like me."

all the culture you liked from decades past was made possible by cheap rent and artists' pay keeping up with what things cost

It's because we all have day jobs, advances are pennies, publishers don't market, one underperforming book tanks your career, and we're expected to be well-tuned brand machines on social media websites designed to suck our souls dry.

This is such a terrible concept. Now if you need airport wheelchair assistance AND need to pee, sucks for you. Not to mention you still need to make it through security on your own, which many of us are unable to do without said wheelchair assistance.

This reminds me of the "automatic wheelchair" I saw someone using at the Miami airport last week. Here's the upbeat article describing these travesties: www.fastcompany.com/91071380/ame...

American Airlines rolls out wheelchairs that can automatically take passengers to their gates - Fast Companywww.fastcompany.com Whill's autonomous chairs will zip passengers to their gates, avoiding obstacles, then return to their starting place.
