The framing is not vaccines don't cause autism, which they don't, the framing is autism is not a curse that spoiled your Build-a-Bear child from being the toy you wanted. Neurodivergence does not require eradication, it requires understanding and accommodation.

i hate how much people care about their ships being "canon" now. spirk fans didn't publish zines full of fanfics in the 70s only for modern fandom to grovel at the knees of corporations and beg for things to be canon. use your imaginations, don't allow billionaires to think for you.

the concept of migration control is incredibly historically new and when it is abolished - and it will be abolished, like all unjust laws are - we will look back on it as if it was a complete insanity. what lunatic would say that your life should be restricted to a territory you were born in

Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee.
That's how envious they are of what you can do.

You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda.
We are human beings. You cannot erase us.
Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost.

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.
I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

the biggest gift of witnessing Minnesotan resistance is the spark of hope you get from the moments that feel like something new
another world is possible and we are making it
we are tired but we will take turns
our hearts grow when we feel collective care
we see the possibilities in each other

Irregular reminder: Doomerism is functionally identical to Denialism
Cynicism & despair aren’t a tribute to rationality; they’re failure of imagination & resilience. Making things less bad is more important than achieving perfection. Any start is better than none.
Hope & Joy are essential activism

One day, a world will arrive where no one is boxed by categories like LGBT🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Until that moment, I’ll keep sending this message into the universe:
