Perspective is everything. I’m writing about this for my book. When society gives us a privileged lens, the world we see is privileged. #Privilege #WhitePrivilege #SystemicRacism #Equity

President Biden should invite Rep. Zooey Zephyr, the trans legislator silenced in Montana for speaking truth to power, to the White House. Just like he did the #TennesseeThree

NEW COMMANDMENT:
Thou shalt respect and affirm the gender identity of all individuals, including trans people, and actively work towards creating a world where they can live authentically and without fear of discrimination or harm.

Some folks might be thinking, “Unlike the Fediverse, Substack gives writers an opportunity to get paid.”

Not so fast.

When @TexasObserver was nearly shut down because they lacked funding for operations, they turned to the Fediverse for help.

Within 48 hours, we helped them raise $250,000 in funding—and now that 70-year-old newspaper still lives.

As a result 17 journalists still have their jobs.

Elon Musk's fortune, which ultimately enabled his takeover of Twitter, has been padded by billions in subsidies and contracts paid for by American taxpayers.

Just in case anyone needed that reminder.

I was promised a sci-fi future where robots would do all the menial tasks so that humans could focus on creating art and instead you assholes built robots to do the art so we all have to fight over the jobs doing menial tasks, good job.

Yeah it's cool that Alan Turing was gay and also brilliant.

However urging people not to persecute trans and gay people because some of us might be as brilliant and useful as Turing is not it. Everyone deserves to live a happy life even if they're not super smart and produce useful inventions. Such exhortations, while well-meaning, fail to challenge the underlying problem which is that we live in a fucking meat grinder.

Picked up Jupes at school and on our way to grab coffee we saw the best window sticker.
