Pantry tips!

Food prices are drastically going up and food shortages are also increasing

So today I'm going to share some tips on stocking your pantry bc maybe no one taught you how to do it before now

Everyone should try to store at least two weeks of food and water
A lot of white people are going to cower behind the idea that this is just a mistake or incompetence... "They didn't know!"

Do you know how you get companies to care about being careful to not make mistakes like this EVER again?

You make them scared

Also this wasn't a mistake
This is racism
As a long, long, long, long, long time Converse buyer, I will never buy a Converse product ever again. I am sick of the virtue signalling to racists. I see this and I see a man hanged, a white robe that could be a klansman's robe and light shaped like a KKK hat. What the actual hell!?!

The real tragedy with me being a person who genuinely tries to be kind even when others aren't is... I'm very funny when I'm being mean

Rocket Money is a great case for being very careful about reading the fine print

Bc when they are lowering your costs they sometimes can represent themselves as you in negotiations with other companies and lower costs by cutting services and entering into contracts on your behalf

Which is bad
Rocket Money just sent me unwanted spam saying it could cancel unwanted subscriptions for me and is this just the mob, basically?

Hey you...
If being harsh and mean to yourself was going to work... it would have already

You cannot hate yourself into a version you love

Part of breaking generational trauma is deconstructing the idea that punishment is an effective learning strategy

Especially for ourselves

Forever reminder that posting memes that make fun of Trump's body or put Trump in a dress and makeup for a joke

Makes me think less of YOU

Misogyny and fatphobia used against evil eilte people doesn't hurt them

It does contribute to a culture that views women and fat people as a punchline

Deeply unsurprised that one of the guys who wrote Comfortably Numb would once again stand against apathy

#FreePalestine
The Pink Floyd alum stated that Macklemore had done “the right thing” in speaking out for Palestine.

You mean gamble on the slop machine?

Play the slop machine to win big Big BIG jackpots of stinking garbage and bias

No thanks

A friend's kid (older teen) recently came out as Ace and so I've been reflecting on youth exploring their identities especially asexuality

(Tbc being ace is lovely and wonderful)

And it's interesting and kinda charming how often it is a step in younger queer folks journeys

So fun story Mackelmore and I went to the same undergrad and overlapped for a few years (we didn't meet)

Attending the same college just a few years before either of us was Rachel Corrie who was murdered by Israel with a bulldozer while she was trying to protect Palestinians

Free Palestine
Rapper Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour after he made a “Free Palestine” speech on stage earlier this month

How dare people use vocabulary appropriate to their culture and life to describe AHHHRT!!!

Art is something special and you plebian fools dirty it's glamour with your mundane adjectives!

If you don't like the AHHHHRT then it MUST be bc you don't understand it's depth and subtlety!!!

🙄🙄🙄
M'kay...
Scratching my head over influencers calling OOT Link “AI” and Epona “yassified”. It seems stemming from a lack of art critique vocabulary or limited frame of reference outside of pop culture.

Apart from OOT being a pun on ceramic ocarina, Aonuma said that the visual is to evoke nostalgia (懐かしさ).

I didn't want to deal with my ridiculously thick hair for a while so I shaved my undercut without a guard

but an unfortunate side effect is now I have Velcro head and my wife's very long and very curly hair keeps getting caught in my undercut

I basically just brushed my wife's hair with my head! 💀

Your strengths are almost always also the source of your weaknesses

And conversely your weaknesses are often the unfortunate side of your strengths

And it's important to recognize this when you're reflecting on self improvement bc when we don't we tend to unintentionally self sabotage

Good thread

Reject judgement from people who believe they have the authority to determine the bounds of your autonomy

And when you encounter an identity that makes you have a reaction here's what to do...

Ask many people with that lived experience why that identity makes them feel whole and seen
Butch, femme and futch, as identities do, have changed quite a bit since their origins because queer communities are living things.

Anytime someone gets shitty about how people identify now based on a (usually overly academic or outright false) talking point it's worth just rejecting it outright.

*Putting on my former professional dog trainer hat*

No kill shelters are not morally superior

They are often kinda like green washing but for shelters they want to make you feel good and clean/pure

For instance many send dogs they cant home in a few months to kill shelters
I’ve never understood anti-kill shelter sentiment like if anything they need your support the most, the more resources and money they have the fewer animals they need to euthanize

I don't think this will get much attention in the news or on this site bc we are all so numbed to tragedy at this point

But this is a huge deal

For 25 years first responders and their families have fought NYC to release this information

I hope they find some small amount of closure and peace

The way we view AI slop bros...

... Is kinda how I view you for not consistently taking covid precautions (masking and getting COVID boosters) tbh

Like y'all know you're engaging in something that is unequivocally harmful and bad and all of your excuses all sound like laziness and willful denial
Moving on from COVID-19 by abandoning our protections is like surviving a house fire and throwing away the smoke detectors. Ignoring the risk doesn’t make it go away.

Hey you can just say "women's healthcare is terrible" you don't need to invent new terms that specifically exclude trans women. I assure you, our healthcare is even more shit than healthcare for cis women.

I am begging cis women to stop trying to be "inclusive" by excluding trans women.
September 7, 2026 at 7:21 PM
One of the issues with the DSA gaining more popularity is a resurgence of people (mostly white cis men) believing that capitalism is the root of all oppression

And so I'd just like to remind folks that most oppression is far older than capitalism

Just getting rid of capitalism isn't enough

It feels wild that people are acting like the MAHA stuff has a single cause.

NOTHING important has a single cause.

You gotta deal with the misinformation AND actually improve healthcare.

Which is harder.

LIKE MOST SOLUTIONS THAT ACTUALLY WORK.
September 7, 2026 at 5:43 PM
This part tho

My biggest advice to everyone is just to slow down

When we rush and panic we forget the things we've painstakingly learned

Things like the necessity to hold nuance and context or look at things from alternate perspectives...

Algorithms are rage machines
Breathe and slow down
Stop looking for single, easily addressable causes. They don't exist for anything that's actually important.

All actual progress requires us to grapple with complexity.

Failing to address complexity is choosing to live in a fantasy world.

How we do the work to create change matters almost as much as getting the work done

All historical movements had huge flaws that we now can see clearly

If we don't want to fall into the same past failures we have to interrogate the ethics and values that guide us - both as individuals and a group
A lot of the rhetoric and approach of online leftism seems to have been inherited from the “rationalist” internet movements, which always had some white supremacist undercurrents.

Which, again, is why: balance your internet leftism with offline organizing, for perspective and grounding.
