@vapaad @jepyang idk if I'd go so far as to say forced vaccines don't improve public health. They sure improve the health of people who can't get vaccines for medical reasons, or in the cases of vaccines that aren't 100% effective (like COVID), the more people have the vaccine the less likely we *all* are to get infected
But I agree that forcing isn't the best way to do that. Education and encouragement/reward would be better

@vapaad that's fair, I didn't know that but it makes sense
I've seen how people drive in this country, I shouldn't expect that laws will make people do something lol

@foone neurotypicals will say autistic people are bad at following directions and then completely ignore most driving rules (especially the ones that even anarchists follow for safety reasons)
And wear masks under mask mandates, also under their chins

@Myotis_cuniculus @skeletor the revolution started a hot minute ago, most people just haven't committed to it or found our niche yet. The most obvious front lines I can think of right now in the US are Portland and Chicago. Any of us in or near these cities (and I imagine also LA and DC, although I haven't heard as much about them lately) have at least one concrete location we can go to if we feel the need to contribute more today

@inkorrupt said he muted the thread and I'm untagging the others because I'm *sure* they're aware, but for any non-Black bystanders, take note of this interaction:
- white guy says racist stuff
- white people say he's wrong
- white guy continues to say racist stuff
- Black people say they're tired of this
- white guy says "that escalated quickly"
When white people told him he was being racist, it was "civil" discussion. When Black people told him the same, it was "escalation" 😬

@tillshadeisgone I really thought once those articles about Blacksky and actual ATProto decentralization went around, maybe people would stop saying that fedi is better than BlueSky specifically because it's decentralized... That's on me, I guess, for forgetting the tendency among comfortable white people to just ignore any evidence countering their worldview. Of fucking course it just "doesn't count"

@karadoc @cwebber right, they're surveillance AND propaganda companies. Both huge threats right now

Ugghhhh the only thing worse than landlords is corporations as landlords. If every landlord was a person who owned an extra building or two, I'd still say ALAB but at least we'd all have someone to harass you know?

@beckett @OGjester @bmacDonald94 the average fash is absolutely convinced that previous fascists just weren't good enough at it and there's no way *they'll* ever be tried for their actions because they'll just do it right so their fascist regime stays in power forever!

Remembering when my family got kicked out of our apartment and when the landlord came over to check that me and my mom moved out right she said we should have informed her that I had transitioned (I signed the lease as Raphael ftr) because she heard a man was living with us and she wouldn't have kicked us out if she knew it was me. She thought it was a hilarious misunderstanding. At the end of which we were homeless and she still owned the damn building. So funny

@vaartis accessibility request: if you can't write alt text, could you leave it blank? And/or use the alt4me hashtag or literally anything other than deception?

@futurebird @cwebber I doubt they would, which is why I think we all *should* leave for about a week, maybe a few just in case, and then come back 😂 not that I can afford to do that either

@alienghic @skeletor idk about questionable, but probably not very practical 😞 Reagan and Thatcher are both really far away for me, I can't even think of anyone I know is buried in my city

@FinalGirl frankly I wouldn't even care if they could choose. They can fuck all the objects they want, I'll support that! But fuck am I tired of people wanting an object and trying to find one in human beings

Anyone know of good blogs or online resources by Indigenous people who talk about landback and/or historical knowledge about land management? Especially looking for things written by Turtle Island natives, because the white people I want to send articles to are all living here
I tried finding resources with DuckDuckGo and it did not go well 👍 if only because I had no way of knowing what articles were even written by people, let alone Indigenous people

@Testoceratops my cat is very predictable lol it's just sometimes the things I can easily predict him doing are things I wish he would not do 😂 but yeah like, he's his own person (I hate defining person as "human" and prefer "being with their own personality" which very clearly encompasses cats) and he doesn't always do what I want. Neither do my human friends or family. But I love them so I respect that they make their own choices and I can set/enforce boundaries but I can't control people 🤷
