A break in doom scrolling:
My coworker just told me a teen just came in and quietly asked if "this is the place they can get a free queer book" and successfully walked out with a queer book purchased by a previous customer for Open Agenda.

the NYPD didn't prevent this shooting, didn't mitigate any harm as it was happening, didn't stop the shooter in the immediate aftermath & yet they're STILL the institution we've deemed to be credible experts on the situation?

“Change doesn’t happen overnight” is one of the biggest lies told to people fighting for progress. Bailouts come faster than stimulus checks. Bombs come faster than food. Arrests happen more quickly than releases. It’s just a lie we cannot tolerate

"Ableism, then, frames my conceptualization of depression as decay in real time. To label depression as decay is inherently tied up with notions of a previous, more “normal” self that does not exist." - @anthoknees

In the summer of 1776, my family lived in a town named Hiawasee, where the Hiwassee river flows out of the Appalachian Mountains into a wide, fertile valley.
The same summer our forefathers penned The Declaration of Independence, their army burned Hiawasee to the ground.

You know one thing “progressive” white people do that annoys me & I’ve caught some of my closer acquaintances do?
Tell me out the blue how racist their family members are. I don’t care that your Dad said some wild shit & you couldn’t believe it! Why are you dumping this on me?
