Almost like shutting down safe consumption sites and funneling money away from harm reduction and into abstinence grifting makes things less safe and increases harms. This is consistent with decades of data and was completely predictable.
A reminder that Girl Scouting of America has welcomed trans and nonbinary girls from the first one that asked, has always had lesbian and bi members and adults, never declared bankruptcy to avoid paying for sexual assaults, and never poached the other side to recover from said bankruptcy.
Even if you don't like silent films, I think you should give this one a try because it's very short and funny and Méliès is very much reaching across the intervening 130ish years to hold our hands and say, my god aren't we sick of this disruptive tech shit
Ahhh, perfect. Thanks a million!
Can I ask you to point me Twain’s piece? Would love read his cantankerous take on this.
Spite works.
February 12 was once a very important date in the Black community. At least for the 75 years after Emancipation.
Frederick Douglass called him "emphatically the Black man's president."
Sojourner Truth said "I was never treated by anyone with more kindness & cordiality than by Abraham Lincoln."

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them
"we have neither an HR department nor a legal team"
Only at the beginning.
I may have a stroke.
Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.
Downright balmy.
I think we know that ugliness can be a contagion — it can spread through a community and shock you with its pull on people. It’s tremendous to have a reminder that care for others can be that way too. You help, your neighbors see you help, then they help, and then it just becomes What We’re Doing.
hard to believe that the Charlie Kirk firings / pearl clutchings happened mere months ago but here we are
Right?
My personal favorite is when it offers me a summary of my telephone sheet. I truly do not need a list of phone numbers summarized for me!
A photo of teenage Claudette Colvin in glasses and a sweater.
Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7
Politicians don’t have to say it’s a distraction they can merely point out that the president cares more about enriching oil CEOs and protecting pedophiles than he cares about whether you can afford to buy groceries or go to the doctor
This guy needs to fuck off at least three times.
Is it Batman? It’s Batman, isn’t it.
Fingers crossed.
My copy arrives tomorrow, so this is perfect timing!
Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.
I think of this literally every time I put my shoes on.
