Carl T. BergstromThe railway barons may have been rooting for the steam drill, but at least they didn’t try to feed us some freshman philosophy seminar bullshit about how maybe it was just as human as John Henry.

Wife, socialist, transgender woman. Love my spouse, vegan Chinese food, and Daoism. Dipping my toes in this social media space after years of no social media use whatsoever.
Nashville AntifaAs fascist anti-trans and anti-drag bills have gained ground, it's more important than ever to talk about #JuryNullification and ensure people know about it.
If you are called to be a juror, you have no obligation to declare someone guilty, EVEN IF you are certain they did it.
This is a built-in feature of the system that judges don't like to discuss. A jury can declare someone innocent simply because they disagree with the law.
As immoral, oppressive, and fascist laws targeting marginalized groups are being passed, we must remember this tool. Talk to people you know because the more people are aware of this, the more likely one of those 12 jurors will be too.
And remember, this doesn't have to be for the more extreme recent examples. Together we can stop bullshit life sentences for petty drug crimes and all manner of oppressions.
Um excuse me what the fuck. I don’t like that my phone is aware that I browse these things often specifically whilst I eat breakfast. I don’t like that despite having turned off most location permissions, Apple still has this data. Fucking creeps.

One of my favourite nuggets of Jewish humour: How do you tell the difference between a Jewish pessimist and a Jewish optimist?
The Jewish pessimist says “It can’t get any worse!”
But the Jewish optimist replies “Sure it can!”

Roxi Horror 💀🌸MY BRAIN: We have an appointment later

ME: But I wanted to be productive-
MY BRAIN: Too bad, we are busy waiting for the appointment
Nationalise healthcare, energy, finance, mining, railways, freight companies, and package delivery. The trends towards monopoly in capitalism are only growing; regulation might stem the tide for a while, but given these corporations wealth and power, they will buy pols who will deregulate for their pay-masters. Our democracy is perpetually subverted by the interests of profit, and if we are to save it, we need socialism.

Qasim Rashid, Esq.Today on the first day of Women’s History Month I learned that after no fault divorce was finally legalized in 1970, female suicide rates dropped 20%🤯
The "strong 1950s family unit" that the GOP is nostalgic about ignores record high female suicide, suffocating domestic violence, & zero female financial autonomy.
But maybe that's GOP's goal all along?🤔

KevinIt’s not about drag, it’s not about bathrooms, it’s not about school sports, it’s not about library books, it’s not about children. I’m terrified what’s going to happen if cis people continue to refuse to understand this. #trans #transphobia

This reminds me a lot of a point made in an excellent video by the Youtuber Shaun about Harry Potter; there are no good or bad acts in Harry Potter, only good and bad teams. Israel, inexplicably, still counts as “the good team” and so they continue to get handled with kid gloves by the media while their opponents are portrayed as rabid anti-Semites; well, I am not an anti-Semite. I believe that the State of Israel has a right to exist. But it must withdraw from the West Bank and the Heights.
