"The working classes have always been the caring classes β not just because they do almost all of the caring labor, but also because, perhaps partly as a result, they actually are more empathetic than the rich. Psychological studies show this, by the way. The richer you are, the less competent you are at even understanding other peopleβs feelings. So trying to reimagine work β not as a value or end in itself, but as the material extension of caring β is a good start." . - David Graeber
I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE.
βTo leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some powerβ¦I could not let my constituents be out there alone.β
Qobuz has no podcasts, better payouts to artists, the ability to purchase music (they just had a label sale!), and high-quality recordings. I'm never going back to Spotify. Fuck Joe Rogan.
We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trumpβs illegal war.
"I crave books with enough specificity that I can say they are not for everyone; the alternative, I think, is books that are not for anyone. Books that are, essentially, for the algorithm."
"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com
i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist
The main reason corpos are trying to force gAI into everything is because it is, otherwise, so fucking easy to avoid using.

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now
It's so good! I'm obsessed with their pandan cream soda (and all their toasts too of course).
A witch eating a sandwich sitting on the floor near a fridge in their kitchen. There are three ghost cats around the main character. The character is sitting on a wooden floor, one of the boards has been removed and books and potions are hidden under the floor.

Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropicβs Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations.
The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire.
That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players.

I am going to link again to LGBTQ KS. While I do not know them myself, my friends vouch for them. LGBTQ KS are raising money to help fund the cost of replacement driver's licenses and birth certificates. They are coordinating rides to the DMV and connecting people with resources. lgbtqks.org
Equality Kansas - this org has done a lot of good work in the state, especially at the legislature level. They have a fund to help trans Kansans with additional expenses after SB 244, rides, meals, etc. They have a mutual aid fund and will also put you in touch with people in need.

I will start close to home with the Lawrence Trans Coalition. This is here in Lawrence, KS. They are known to me personally and have a mutual aid fund. Paypal www.paypal.com/paypalme/tra...
Their Linktree - you can see what they are doing, including wrt SB244 linktr.ee/translawrenc...
I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.
At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Point being you do not have to engage in PvP
Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

fan art of sobble with the new water starter pokemon that resembles a gecko
Rising from the dead to draw the new starters. I really love the dog and the bird, not sure about the gecko, but maybe it'll grow on me
When I went to Tehran in 2018 for a game conference I hung out with game nerds, music weirdos, and queer folks with tattoos and colored hair, just like I do here. We got vegetarian food and watched goofy uncles play basketball in the park. I sure hope they can live to see a better day.
Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is βconstitutionalβ or not.
The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information youβre absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.
