Naw mate, y'all pretend you're worried about your kids' development and education because "COVID LOCKDOWNS" and then turn around and vote for people who slash education funding and push privatization.
You do not care about your kids. They're a fucking accessory for your nazi bullshit. Get absolutely fucked, "MAHA."
The reactionary undercurrent in the Democratic Party and various quasi-left groups is largely about racial and gender animus, resentment at being "scolded" and "judged" and "told what to do" by women and marginalized people online.
The rest of it is pure greed.

One of the quieter forms of ableism is expecting disabled people to do all the relationship-building.
To ask.
To follow up.
To remind.
To chase.
To accommodate.
To make everyone else comfortable.
And then acting as though this labour is invisible.
If someone is joining your team, community, organisation, or project, don’t make them do all the work of becoming known.
Reach out first.
It’s remembering that uncertainty has a cost.
That transitions have a cost.
That constantly having to advocate for your own existence has a cost.
The person with less power in a relationship shouldn’t always be responsible for making the relationship happen.
Anthropic claims its engineers are shipping 8x as much code per quarter now as they did in 2022.
Unless you have 8x as many reviewers, that's bad. Like not just a little bad, but really bad.
This is such a house of cards built on debt and cheap power.
update: my colleagues WON their union!! a decisive victory with 70% voting yes!! I'm so proud of them for everything they've done to organize members of our campus under incredibly adverse conditions!!! ♥️✊
(admin, ofc, will keep fighting them--if you have ties to USC, feel free to let them know if you have an opinion on this)
