The fascists can be stopped, slowed, and even destroyed!

@ErgonWolf @DanMorgan It's been obvious for a decade, and true for a century.

CN: transphobia

Journalists, headline writers: the linked post is a good example of how NOT to talk about trans people in the media. Just because Musk deadnames his daughter doesn't mean you have to. I learned Vivian Wilson's deadname from this post and I wish I hadn't. Block that shit out. Weirdos say they wanna know? Fuck em. Let them look it up themselves. It's irrelevant to anything but prurience.

Also, Vivian's pronouns are she/her. Not they/them.

It's wonderful that whoever runs @newsthump is supportive of Vivian. These tips are simply meant to help your support show even better.

I love this yoga teacher for focusing on making yoga routines that are accessible to people with chronic illness and/or disability. Monetta Wilson is starting a 2-week bed yoga wellness challenge on April 1.

Unbelievable how well-versed I am at pretending to work while silently dying inside because of my society's descent into fascism

I trace the origins of this well-honed skill back to 1999 when I was literally the only person in my small town who knew that the Seattle police were rampaging, gassing protesters and civilians alike during the WTO protests.

It's a day. I'm going to get through it. You will too!

Hey so I don't know how many people might be seeking a relatively low-paid job* at a very inclusive library in a mildly welcoming town, but my local library is expanding its physical premises and is now also hiring a new library clerk. This position is full time, doesn't require advanced degrees, and comes with good benefits and, if it's like my civil service job, also comes with a guaranteed pay raise of 2-3% every year.

*a bit less than 35K per year

Anyway my upstate NY people please spread this around!

Damn. A struggling small town newspaper. In print for 150+ years. But tariffs on Canadian products meant their paper costs 25% more now. That was the final nail in the coffin. The Cortland Standard, one of the 5 oldest family-owned newspapers in the USA, is shuttering.

My family WERE thinking of getting tickets for the Premier League Summer Series, where they play some games in the USA just for fun. But the good seat tickets were like $800 and the bad seat tickets are too high up! (My dad and my sister both very afraid of heights.)

So instead we're going to see a USA women's professional football (soccer) league game. Tix are between $12 and $53. Much more reasonable. :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: allowing companies to name stadiums after themselves was a horrible mistake.

Observation: 99% of the time, "[Group X] is so unified, why can't we be like them?" is based on a false premise. Group X is not that unified.

My mom got this for me and yeah

@AnarchoNinaWrites @blogdiva You're all different!

YES! WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT!

(I'm not)

SHUT UP!

Pro-tip: when reading "transgender ban" simply substitute "underpants police" and whatever statement you're reading will be more accurate.

I was younger when I made this post

Boosty boost! BOOST. BOOSTING.

Boost the house down boots!

From the ridiculous to the sublime... And back again.

@AnthonyJK Yeah actually that exact phrase has been said to me more than once when I received a gift of some kind--not always money--that I wasn't expecting and knew I could never repay.
