Pro tip: a lot of the apparent contradiction in the statement "trans men are both real men and can identify as lesbians if they so choose" is resolved when you stop viewing lesbianism as a rigid metaphysical category and instead as a historical and practical spectrum, +

Bad Writing Takes 🖊️🏳️‍🌈 Like, at this point it should be no doubt that TERFs dont care who they hurt because hurting people is the only goal. They only want others to suffer.

I urge you,listen first to the Palestinians in Gaza, and only then to those beyond its borders; take the narrative from those who are living it.

"Juan" harvests peaches in CAs SJ Valley. "It's HOT during the short peak season and it's hard to keep up the pace needed to make extra money. We climb a 14ft ladder. Our full bag weighs 40 lbs. We run to the crate and back to start again. We earn $30 per 900lb crate." #WeFeedYou

SpeakOutSister They can always tell, but they also think you need to carry some kind of DNA proof, but also won't believe you if you are too tall or have short hair.

the only thing that makes me feel hope right now is that all the terrible horrible things happening everywhere are not sustainable. fascism is self consuming. capitalism is self consuming. these aren’t sustainable ways to run a society. it will end.

markchristenson SpeakOutSister The idea that women are inherently more nurturing and men are inherently more aggressive is entirely socially constructed and not based on biology. Young boys are taught to emotionally maim themselves in order to be men and young girls are forced into devaluing themselves.

Even if the starvation ends today, it has already had irreversible effects on Palestinians in Gaza. Famine is truly the ugliest of human architectures and Israel is deliberately inflicting it on a population of two million people.

uncertain the best way to phrase this which is awesome on the arguing app, but the “Palestine is the testing ground for what America will do to its citizens” line of thinking feels very off to me. Like actually I think what’s happening in Palestine is about Palestine

Ppl who have never been in a homeless shelter don’t understand the dangers, the let downs, the favoritism, how filthy they let them get, the rotten food they give, I can go on and on

After fees & dividing seven ways, this ‘big’ weekly goal gets less than $30 to each family per day. It can’t feed a family of 8, it can’t pay rent, unless we get bolder. Anything helps. Click “weekly” so they can depend on help. 2085/2300 before Saturday: chuffed.org/project/hope-g…

I miss chicken, meat, and eggs. I hope that we can eat chicken, meat and eggs.

This language of insects, vermin, dirt and disease to characterize colonized people is so consistent across multiple colonial contexts that it’s worth thinking about what it rly does. Psychologically it frames colonized people as an object in need of removal.

Not to add to the discourse, but… It’s ‘toe the line,’ not ‘tow the line.’ It’s ‘free rein,’ and not ‘free reign.’ It’s ‘eke out,’ not ‘eek out.’ It’s ‘sleight of hand,’ not ‘slight of hand.’ It's ‘Anchors aweigh,’ and not ‘Anchor's away!’
