@Petzlux my fav is when the free pseudoscience cites a bunch of paywalled research — all the false legitimacy one can grab, with minimal risk of exposure! 👌🏻

One very bad thing about scientific papers being behind paywalls is that (competing) pseudoscience isn’t behind paywalls, so it’s easier to find misinformation online than to find facts.

HEY LEG-HAVERS: Bombsheller, a local brand of legging sellers that specializes in nerdy designs in a plethora of sizing options, is closing due to corporate restructuring. (BOO HISS YECCH) From now til May you can get 20% off on their website with the code STAYBADASS, and they're doing a pop-up sidewalk sale on May 18th at their store in Lower Queen Anne.

Imagine calling yourself "ancom", then go defend MLs as leftists who share a common goal. This is why I don't trust crackers who call themselves "anarchist", especially American ones.

Fuck "Left Unity" honestly. If Imma kick liberals out, the Tankies and all their apologists can join them as well.

It's Going Down: **This Is America #70: New Haven Explodes Against the Police**

Another thing about #EarthStrike.

We don't get to tell #workers what to do. Callously calling a strike on a timeline of months is fucking **DANGEROUS.**

As someone on the Earth Strike Matrix said:
"[The] strikes in [Arizona] took four years to organize and you're planning on corraling unions worldwide in a few [months]."
"[This] comes off heavily as kids telling workers what to strike for, when to strike, and how to strike without first looking for input from the actual [workers.]"

Likewise, #XR callously telling passionate people to get arrested for "the movement" is horrifying.

Maybe the best piece of information I really got out of the exhange is that the mods feel constantly overwhelmed by focusing on keeping the space vehemently anti-racist, and want more group members to step up in areas they can't address.

But I'm not sure how that's supposed to work when the culture around anti-racism literally enables allistic violence.

The community is serving someone, that's for sure. It's not serving everyone no matter how many times they say otherwise.

the real heroes are the garbage workers who keep us safe even on a national holiday when most municipal workers have off

People who are questioning their gender identity are 👌!

Fight with your friends and peers. Or alone. But fight. Fight with those who respect you, and with those you can trust.

When you do, you'll learn. And you'll fail. Let yourself fail. Maybe in the end, everything you do fails. And then you die, but at least you tried. And that is beautiful.

Resistance is beautiful, in and of itself. Resistance lives on, in all of our hearts, and all of our actions.

I leave you with some reading that has inspired and taught me along the way.
