Hi, Billy Corgan here to tell you about the many benefits of AARP.

This is what happens when you ask your library about representation in #autism books. You get #ActuallyAutistic authors who are singers, actors, comedians & more. I've not read these but I'm really looking forward to. Talk to your library today.

My actual #trans agenda.

I want trans people to thrive.

I want trans kids to grow into trans adults.

I want us to feel safe at work, at home, and in our communities.

Look, we tried trickle-down economics for forty years. It simply didnโ€™t work. The national debt exploded and nothing trickled-down, so now we move on.

Stimulating the economy from the bottom up is clearly more effective. A rising tide should life all boats, not just yachts.

"This is exactly why many women do not come forward to report harassment or abuse.

"We are being asked to ignore what you can see on film, and to dismiss a woman when she says she didn't consent. It is an outrageous situation."

@randahl I shared the post with my Ukrainian friend, and her first response was โ€œWe are not allowed to film stuff like thisโ€.

Fellow Black people - I know that in light of the #jacksonville killing, some people booed the white suprem-, er, Intellectually Diverseโ„ข governor DeSantis of Florida, given his vocal and political support of white nationalism. However, as a Black community, we have to remember that protesting violent white supremacy sometimes makes white people feel sad! And angry! And isn't that really a kind of racism in itself, if you think about it?

Anyway, I'm happy to draw your attention to this helpful book, collecting all the wisdom of white Controversial Thinkersยฎ like DeSantis and all those other bitch-faces about the best way to protest against racism. Compromise!

I heard about Red,White, and Royal Blue as a movie, and I watched it. It was cute, and distracting. During the closing credits I saw it was based on a book, and I'd just finished one, so I bought it. The book is usually better than the movie.
Oh yeah, so much better. The events aren't compressed, the characters are better developed - and there are more of them. Get the book.

OTD, Aug 28, 1955, white supremacists kidnapped, tortured, & murdered 14-year-old Emmett Till. Carolyn Bryantโ€”the woman who knowingly falsely accused himโ€”just passed. The warrant for her arrest ignored, she lived free.

Emmett isn't ancient historyโ€”he's contemporary reality.

Somebody else recognized me from my television appearance (I was the dude on the wing in that William Shatner episode of Twilight Zone)

I know mastodon has issues, I know the fediverse is basically a prototype of what it could be. I know itโ€™s annoying when people are snobby about masto despite its faults.

But for real, if we want this shit to succeed, weโ€™ve got to also love what is good here and be growing it. That doesnโ€™t mean yelling about how all other social media sites suck. It means focusing on what weโ€™re getting right here, listening carefully to complaints, and putting a little energy into solving problems

Can you believe how many people on social media answer rhetorical questions?

how a lot of cis people sound  

"you're nearsighted? oh wow, have you gotten the surgery yet?"
"idk, are you really nearsighted? you don't act nearsighted to me"
"okay so you say you 'feel' like everything is blurry. what does that mean? ive sometimes gotten dust in my eyes but i don't see how you can just 'feel' nearsighted"
"ugh... why are you ruining your beautiful face with those glasses? you look fine without them"
"ugh... why are you ruining your eyes with those contacts? you're ruining your eyes by putting them there"
"ugh... i can't believe anyone would mutilate their beautiful, natural, working eyes by burning them with lasers just because they 'feel' nearsighted. medicine and liberalism has gone too far"
"you're just wearing glasses because it's trendy to wear them! this has consequences on your eyes!"
"can't you just like, not see things blurry? it's probably just that you're not focusing your eyes correctly"
