Always in my feelings when it comes to borders. Americans do not understand how violent they are and to speak of just "fleeing" reminds me of that every single time.

I’m gonna guess a given man’s response to being called nonthreatening can also say a lot about that man

there is absolutely room to criticize terminally online folks who argue posting is praxis. however, twitter taught me what i need to know to escape a cult and access HRT. reddit cracked my egg. twitter and bluesky helped me reconnect with my jewish heritage. it’s a mistake to write it all off.

They are two separate situations with different material and political conditions. Please stop treating them as if they are the same.

Just fwiw, the DC Statehood and Puerto Rico statehood movements are quite a bit different. There are a lot of people in Puerto Rico and in the diaspora who want Puerto Rican independence, not statehood.

But I can’t say that I’ve specifically seen “abolitionism” as a term often enough to have an opinion or to know the full context in which it is being used.

I could possibly see that, and some people who talk about prison abolition specifically do not broaden it out sufficiently IMO. I have “abolitionist” in my bio, and what I mean is abolition of all systems of hierarchy, exploitation, and domination, not just prisons.

Many people, often cis men, often including myself (not cis but not the point), need to learn that not posting about it is an option. It's pretty often the preferred option.

My personal feeling is that in cases of sexual assault "I'm going to wait to see what else develops" is a fine, but if you loudly announce that what you're seeing is inadequate and not enough and should not be believed by anyone, that's not waiting to see what else develops.

It used to be that replies to a thread would not pop back up onto your followers' feeds if they were made later. so the twitter expectation of "this new reply will pop back up in my followers' feeds" didn't hold. So a habit developed of quoting your own posts to add new info

the thing about blind hero worship as an attachment to your favorite thing is that is pulls out of people, time and time again, their need to "rationalize" away empathy for the victims to make the thing their fav did okay or non-existent. kill your fucking darlings.

I have two different air quality monitors now (QingPing for home, Aranet for the road) and the CO2 readings tend to diverge, sometimes a lot. Why… is this, as in technical details?

@astrokatie.com @kateviolette.com this seems like the kind of thing you might know

The new COVID variant seems to be evading immunity from vaccines and past infections. COVID cases are up 250% in NYC. Remember the more you get covid your risk for long covid increases significantly.

Gaëtan's submission of his address book of sex partners pretty much sealed the deal on HIV being sexually transmitted. And because he submitted a record that extensive, he was at the center of a lot of the contact tracing. On charts, Gaëtan was marked "O." Not 0, O. For "Out of California."

So hey, here's a thing I don't think a lot of folks know: That whole "Patient Zero" thing? The French-Canadian airhost who supposedly spread HIV all over America? That's not real. That's not what happened or how it happened.
