Deaf Antipode living in the US. dumped my old bluesky account bc reasons and haven’t been on twitter since ‘23. Black Lives Matter, free Palestine, trans rights are human rights. Giant honkin nerd. The Butlerian Jihad was right

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.

Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.

If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.

So must you.

I read Lindy Wests adult braces & b/n her first real intro to polyamory (husband cheats), the obvi set up of his gf with Lindy (& moving too fast for her!) so THREESOMES, and the end of her book where she implied that polyamory is so evolved… well its a bad way to poly. Poly is a dif way that’s all

The liberal norms only work if everyone agrees to abide by them, if the other guy keeps breaking the rules without consequence you don’t get points for still following them. You can’t reinstate the norms before you get rid of the guy running roughshod over them.

“Is Polyamory Over and Did Lindy West Kill It?”

lol what a deeply unserious lede from this article I’m refusing to link to

The polyamorous community has had dickheads since its inception lmao. One shitty husband of a writer isn’t gonna suddenly stop people from being polyamorous

the best way to describe my feelings about people occasionally assuming I'm a trans woman is this Lady Gaga interview where she told Anderson Cooper she doesn't give a fuck because it doesn't matter

In three months, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by fast food and delivery companies
-Cracked down on bad landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets

This is what leadership looks like.

I’ve noticed that a lot of “what is a Lindy West and why should I care???” skeets are posted by dudes which I suppose is appropriate

six years ago i went to a makeup artist for a makeover

though it was never a style i’d choose for myself, though i hadn’t started HRT and my face was not yet mine

it was the first time i ever caught the tiniest glimpse of the real me in a mirror

everything you want is on the other side of fear 🩷

It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Please pay attention.

This is a horrible situation and it's going to do tremendous damage.

Any fighting back, any help you can give, NOW IS THE FUCKING TIME TO DO IT.

i think left-liberals sometimes have a hard time seeing what's going on here because "capitalism" has come be a substitute word for all social ills. but american media consolidation is a nascent planned economy.

I fear that when the AI bubble pops, the contagion will be bigger and more damaging than I feared, scarring state pensions, state investment funds, and people's retirements.

AI data centers are the subprime mortgages of private equity. PE loves them.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

If you're a trans person in Kansas who had your drivers license invalidated, you can absolutely trust @marisakabas.bsky.social to handle your story with care. I vouch for her 100%.
