(trying to gauge whether it’s a sign of my aging or just that what used to feel like mundane, everyday interactions have become… weird. like almost mechanical and inorganic. or is it people trying not to react to me wearing a mask? hard to tell.)

I keep seeing references made to 'leftists' who 'want 45 to win.' Who are these leftists? Are they strangers on the internet? I just don't see this. No one I know on the Left(s) is pro-45. I know some reactionary *moderates* who are though.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

today I had lunch with a former student and we ate doubles on the campus lawn and it was so very lovely. I think I surprised them when I told them how old I actually am 😭

If your area got a new Labour MP then it is your duty to email them and say that you are happy the Tories are out but that transphobia should have no place in the party. Make Starmer gently walk back his support for Rowling's position!

The UK election was really close, a true nailbiter, it was probably a smart move for Starmer to sell out trans people to get those extra votes

The Supreme Court effectively destroying OSHA in parallel to the project of bringing semiconductor fabs back to the United States seems like an important thing to keep an eye on given the industry left the USA in part bc of heightened health and safety concerns (context in Verge piece)

I hope so too. (I worry that people seem really not to understand who the bad person is in a strike situation. people were awful to strikers at York and that was so surprising to me.)

Unmasked leftists, are you “being shamed” when told to wear an n95 or feeling shame when realizing your actions & values don’t align? If you can’t tolerate discomfort, you can’t learn, grow, or resist systems of oppression. Expand your capacity for discomfort to expand your potential to liberate.

The entirety of the Americas was full of people before Europeans, whole and rich civilizations with cities and artwork and histories that settlers almost or in some cases completely succeeded in destroying. It’s too great a tragedy to put into words.

People on here who are deprived of their mental faculties say that "if Israel wanted to commit a genocide it would" well what is this exactly? How would you describe the near total destruction of Gaza City and the near total destruction of our ability to make food? The murder of 15,000 children?
