Reminder to all allies this #blackfriday: When the racists try to silence our Black brothers and sisters, we hand them our megaphone. We use our platform to boost their voices. We give them our time on the floor. We form the snow plow to push all the other white bullshit out of the way so they can get through.

UKRAINIAN WAR POEM
Weep old woman

Your child has died

War comes a calling

A price for you to pay

Death set loose by the egos of man

Your child had to pay

War comes a calling

A price for all to pay

I'm beginning to get a little worried.

When time travelers from the future ask me what year it is, and I tell them, they no longer say "Whew, there's still time!" Instead, they look worried and step back thru their portal.

Perhaps I should move up my retirement plans?

I’ve heard from pundits but the voices I need to hear amplified out of #Tennessee are the constituents who no longer have representation in their state legislature because racists threw a racist hissy fit.

I exist as the person that I am because of my local library.

I would go there whenever I wanted to read books.

Books don’t just go away when you’re finished them, their words sit on your mind, to sink deeper and deeper into you, until they are a part of who you are.

Sometimes a very important part.

The possibility for change is anathema to people who insist they have had the whole truth already revealed to them.

I think it's nice that woman with the broomstick is going out to save the people from that sinking ship.

Also useful to remember that sex (the biological one) isn't quite as binary as some people would like to believe. There are many possibilities between XX and XY.

This is a reminder that there's a difference between sex and gender. Seriously!!!

A few weeks ago I shared another colorful rain image of a #gay couple in the #rain and I was contacted by someone who hoped I might do a version where the men's faces were less visible, which was funny enough my original vision and I had taken a U-turn. I was happy to oblige. Hope you enjoy the latest!

Me, looking at car: I’ve got two flat tires.
Brain: And a microphone!
Me: That doesn’t make any sense.
Brain: Where it’s at!

In my day we didn't have Harry Styles. In my day all we had was Milton Berle in a dress. We had to take what we could get.

OK, you're not an unwitting troll who fell for some ridiculous garbage, you're a full-on propagandist. Done with you.

@Subaltern@mastodon.social

OK, you're (knowingly or not) a tool of Russian propaganda.
Donbas is in UKRAINE, not Russia. Russia-backed rebels started a war to try and weaken Ukraine. Russia-backed rebels used weapons provided by Russia to shoot down a civilian passenger jet.
Blame still *entirely* on Russia.

@ScottSoCal @Tendar
Biden's coalition upholding economic sanctions is going to be an even more important component towards getting the RuzZians out of #Ukraine than even the millions of artillery shells we've provided, but of course both are equally vital towards helping to protect Ukrainians.

@Subaltern@mastodon.social

In 2014, Russia illegally invaded and annexed Crimea. That's one thing that happened before.
Something that didn't happen? Ukraine never asked to join NATO. They didn't want to give Putin an excuse. Turned out he didn't need one, he invaded anyway. He thought it would be easy, so he did it.
The situation in Ukraine is entirely on Russia's shoulders. Not Ukraine's. Not the US. Not NATO.

Do you have your money in a bank that funds fossil fuels? The top four offenders in the U.S. are Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citibank. They continue to invest in more and more climate-destroying fossil fuel extraction.

Please do not support them!
