the goalpost for this cannot be “end family separation.” we cannot allow concentration camps to exist anywhere. there must be consequences for fascists and their collaborators. abolish and prosecute ICE ✊️

trump is a symptom, not an anomaly. the US has a long and continuing history of slavery and genocide that it has never seriously confronted. it underpins our governing institutions, who love their power but hate thinking about how they got it. they have never put in the work to evict fascism. rather they have fostered it when useful and downplayed it when embarrassing. faced with their legacy in broad daylight, even the elected opposition cannot bring itself to oppose fascism.

googler: “Hey, I left the Defense Department so I wouldn’t have to work on this kind of stuff. What kind of voice do we have besides this Q&A to explain why this project is not okay?”

Sergey Brin: “Letting you ask that question is the voice that you have. Very few companies would allow you to do that.”

everybody gets up in arms that a group of squids isn't called a squad but where are my advocates for calling a group of starfish a constellation

hi cis journalists! we're glad you're here and we hope you have a great time covering this beat. quick style guide before we begin:

*accommodations* are gender-neutral, but *people* are non-binary (if they tell you so)

also the "identity" in "gender identity," the "preferred" in "preferred pronouns," and the "dentifies a" in "identifies as" are redundant, and your editor will love how much space you save by leaving them out

*grin*

Hey. I haven't my daily affirmation in a day or two because this last week has been a flaming pile of dog shit, but fear not.

It's coming back soon. You're still cool. And I still want you to be best you can possibly be.

*wildly charming and appropriate hug... if that's cool...*

#forkoff suggestion:

co-op

I put down my northeast foot,
four round toes, one round pad,
in the dirt by the madrone,
in the dust by the madrone
on the mountain.
I put down my southeast foot,
four round toes, one round pad,
in the dirt by the live oak,
in the dust by the live oak
in the foothills.
I am standing in the middle
of the lion world
on the mountain of the lion,
in the hills of the lion.
I am standing in the tracks of the lion.

--Ursula K LeGuin, "Always Coming Home"

good things need to happen to my friends!!!
