I know getting any combination of the four categories correct without mistakes is “perfect,” but this is perfection to me

So many reasons to be sad about our current daycare closing, but the most lighthearted is that I’ll no longer learn the Spanish words for stuff like stinky and booger

I really want to bridge that cozy-casual gamespace with an “oh wow, the settings change a lot when you’re in a mode that focuses on profit vs soil health and water usage” There is so much data and modeling already, we just need code and a color palette

You mean the blood red moon that interrupts gameplay with ominous music to let you know the dead have risen to kill your vibe

Yeah I think there’s an opportunity to both indulge people who already love the history/material and educate people on how much context and “success” changes your gameplay

Recognizing the suffering caused by patriarchy is obviously important, but absent a liberatory project, it can become a miserable fetish.

this is so pervasive among TERF women because their definition of womanhood fetishizes endurance of bodily suffering, and instead of looking deeply at how fucked up that is for THEM (and their daughters!) they act like it’s playing on Easy Mode for a trans woman not to have menstrual cramps

A couple of years ago, @mskellymhayes.bsky.social tweeted something like, "work the problem like someone who wants to find a solution, not like someone who wants to have been right," and I've thought about it so much since. It's harder than it should be but also the only way forward.

And the question becomes what is the most effective way to bring more people along to what you already know to be true.

If you've already known for like 25 years that some groups in the U.S. have already experienced living under USian fascism and your FedBook friend Jane is posting nonstop about fascism being on the way and Project 2025 existing, I understand your frustration. But alas, we need more people to fight.

I have just enough sewing experience to know that a lot of the homestead girlies who make their own clothes aren’t actually weird about femininity; skirts and dresses are simply so so so much easier and faster to make than pants

You can also freeze/store water & pass/leave it out to your neighbors from your own yard/alley/boulevard. Highly encourage it, especially if you're in a spot where folks tend to pass by regularly, or if you've noticed tents nearby.

What concerns me is a parent committed to an aesthetic that will basically not allow their kids to learn and make messes and be a kid This room is all about the parent, not about their child
