Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

Trump removed bird safety regulations in his first term and now bird flu is killing so many laying hens that eggs are $5 a carton

Trump removed food safety standards his first term and now we have recalls every few weeks

Trump cut the subsidies for the solar farms under construction so now electricity costs more

Trump disbanded the pandemic response team and we now we have bird flu and tuberculosis outbreaks

Hey, if you never hear from me again it is because I got lost getting to/from my hotel room and am now trapped

I’m honestly not sure I captured all the twists and turns

[cardigarden]

That's not a hotel that's a Scooby-Doo house

[historymuse]

I’ve never seen this house before, but I fully had a dream about it a month or two ago

I haven't seen this version anywhere so I made one!

When I was 13 I went for a checkup, and the doctor prodded me in my jiggly belly and asked if I ever exercised. It was clear she thought the answer was no. I responded that I ran cross-country on school days and took dance classes 5x a week.

You can exercise a lot and still not have the body that people associate with “health” or “fitness”. Sometimes you’re just built the way you’re built, and that’s okay.

Embrace yourselves. And do not be cruel about the shapes of others.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Conservatives finally say the quiet part out loud:

They would rather have a dead child than a trans child.

[socialistexan]

Family values, right?

People like this are abusers are and the ones who should be investigated and have their children taken away, not LGBTQ parents. This is neglect, this is open contempt for the life of your child.

If you can't handle the idea that your child will be LGBTQ, you will openly abuse them if they are, if you would not accept and love them for who they are no matter what, and you allow them to die through neglect then you should never have children. Period.

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

[del3141]

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I’m trying to tell you that I’m evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Me, also increasingly exasperated: I know what capitalism is too goddammit

A good time to remind people about the concept of Jury Nullification. Other terms you may hear in place of jury nullification are conscientious acquittal, juror veto, or jury pardon. At its essence, it is acquitting someone of a crime because you believe defining what they did as a crime is immoral. They did it but the law itself is wrong. It is based on the belief that the role of the jury is not simply to uphold the law but to turn mere law into justice.

Of course that’s exactly why Florida wants to change the law to 8-4 because they don’t want people’s morals to interfere with their pogrom.

Also a good time to remind people that if it looks like a Nazi, sounds like a Nazi, acts like a Nazi, and is supporting policies that Nazis actually had, no matter what they call themselves or what symbols they use, they’re a Nazi.

I feel like US conservatives went from a 3/4 to 7 on transgender people over the course of a year and a half.

Basically, if this passes, the state Florida will take away your children if you are transgender or one of your children is transgender (as the bill notes it will take away cis children if they have a trans sibling).

Absolutely monstrous.

literally the bill provides a penalty of $250k and a minimum of 20 years for *using a vpn to access a website*. the list of banned websites can be updated at any time be an unelected appointee with no oversight or warning or even public announcement

Look at every city. The nicest buildings are usually the post office and the library.

We need libraries. They are a reflection of our society. Cops do not need more money, especially at the expense of libraries.

Eric Adams will never feel shame. He is drawn to decisions that are horrible for society.

The New York Public Library has saved exponentially more lives than the New York Police Department. Fuck all the way off with your fascist mayor.

PSA for Ao3 Users:

Be sure to check the URL before clicking on any site to go to Ao3. I noticed today when I searched via Google Chrome that there is a false Ao3 site that comes up as the first result.

It says archiveofour.net

When you go to it, it looks EXACTLY like Ao3, but it is NOT.

When I curiously tapped the search bar, a pop-up opened to direct me elsewhere. I believe this to be a spoof site for the purpose of either phishing or possibly hijacking PCs for mining bitcoin or some other malicious purpose.

I could be wrong. Perhaps it's a proxy site- but the fact that it redirected me to yet another suspicious-looking URL is alarming.

I let a few friends know, but it doesn't appear on every browser. @plague-of-insomnia mentioned using CC and Safari, and it didn't appear for them.

Ya'll be careful, and remember to always check the URL! At first glance, this spoof site is very convincing. If I had been half asleep, I may not have noticed it was different.

Please reblog to make your friends and other fic writers and readers aware!

‘bodily autonomy for some marginalized groups but not all’ will literally never, ever work. the right to abortion and the right to medical transition and the right to engage in gay sex and the right to take birth control are inextricably linked by the core right of bodily autonomy. shooting one kills them all. support others’ bodily autonomy or yours will be taken too
