How many times can fuck up my order? Three times apparently before I give up on them. And corporate says this franchise prefers to handle their own problems. Yeah, I bet they do.

“Asexuals aren’t oppressed. No one is punished for being asexual.”
Yeah. That’s because we are considered to NOT EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE, so maybe I won’t be denied a job for being ace but being told you don’t exist can fuck you up, too.

Pet by Akwaeke Emezi asks tough questions. Why does Evil come so easy? Why does Goodness come so hard? A difficult, ugly, beautiful, and over all emotional book that I strongly recommend. Be not afraid.
Pet by is soo good. You all should read it. I haven't finished it but I'm loving it so far.

If you’re a library admin and your first priority isn’t your staff you’re what’s terrible about the field.

Firenados in northern California. Ocean fires in the Gulf of Mexico. Subway waterfalls in New York City. A heat dome in the Northwest melting power cables, killing hundreds and frying marine animals. I have been told that combatting climate change is expensive. Compared to what?

Holy shit an underwater gas line burst at an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico, and part of the ocean caught fire.

How Long 'til Black Future Month? is an amazing short story collection by Do yourself the favor of enjoying it. Red Dirt Witch, the third story, has me crying good tears.

Does anyone know someone responsible and somewhat local, who can help my lovely husband practice riding a motorcycle? We'll pay.

Womp womp.
I failed in riding motorcycle today. 
At least they're letting me retest for free.

#InfinityTrain has the same quality I love in stuff like #TAZ, a fundamental belief in Humanity and the Goodness at our core. I can't understand why would cancel this amazing wonderful beautiful work of animation, storytelling, and heart.

Right now, there are 253 bills in state legislatures that restrict voting rights in 43 states. Losing an election should not mean changing the rules to win the next one. Why are cowardly Republicans so afraid of democracy?

If you blink, you’ll miss it. The US set another vaccine record of 3.5 million doses in a day over the weekend. We are going to get through this by trusting the science.

The United States cannot prosper and remain a vigorous democracy when so few have so much and so many have so little. We must address the crisis of income and wealth inequality now.

Inspire Brands, the private equity conglomerate that killed the $15 minimum wage is going after unions #PROAct next. I thought you might like to know who represent. #BoycottInspireBrands
A study showed voters in predominantly black neighborhoods waited 29 percent longer, on average, than those in white neighborhoods. They were also about 74 percent more likely to wait for more than half an hour. So GA Republicans responded by making it illegal to give them water.

Republicans who failed to win the last election are passing laws in an attempt to steal the next election. Absolutely disgraceful. Too many have fought and died for the right to vote. We will not fail them. We must protect and expand voting rights in the United States.

It's Equal Pay Day 2021, so please talk about how, globally, girls' and women doing unpaid and largely invisible work is a *wealth transfer* in the form of time and support to men. Time as an asset also being distributed unequally between women. Pandemic illustrates this sharply.

AT&T is one of the top five donors to the Congressional Republicans who voted against certification and encouraged the violence in the Capitol. Stop all political donations to these traitors against America!
If impeaching Trump would "further divide the country," as Republicans claim, then what did the GOP think challenging Biden's election win would do?

So many women and marginalized folks on here pointing out that being kinder to your abuser or appealing to them in hopes they will feel badly for harming you is not the path forward. Clear, consistent boundaries and consequences are.

The amazing thing about "it might have been antifa" is that Trump literally summoned these people to DC, spoke at their event, offered to walk them over to the Capitol and then praised them afterward.
