If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.
To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner

Make. Celebrate. Keep going.

The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.
The thing that gets me about this attitude is that it's so... Self-centered...? Selfish?
Other authors are not competitors. This is not Survivor.
Other authors are colleagues. Friends. Collaborators. Human beings worth being in community with.
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

Drop a buck or ten & back the new cyberpunk canon!
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser.
What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.
Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
“There’s no point to calling because my senators already agree with me”
“There’s no point to calling because my senators won’t listen”
These are both false information and you should correct and/or block anyone circulating them. Your calls are tallied and create support and/or real pressure.
