Hey. International people.
Keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico or whatever your term is for it. Do not allow the Republican regime to label that body of water the Gulf of America to the world. The name came from a the term Mexica, what the Aztecs called themselves. It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico since the 1600s.
Keep calling it Mount Denali. The original name before it was Mount McKinley. Don’t let the First Nations be erased.
It may sound stupid and petty. But it is an attempt to rewrite history and make us forget the origins. It is a literal white washing of history. This type of censorship is a beginning to greater evils.
AAAAAA I LOVE THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Tango sits on the peak of the burned-out farmhouse roof, silent. For once, he is not blazing with anger or explosive with emotion. His face is impassive and stiff, and his hair flickers a quiet red.
A voice from behind, soft and stilted. “Can I… sit with you?”
It’s Jimmy. Tango says nothing.
Behind him, Jimmy sits on the opposite peak, facing Tango’s back. “I…” he starts. “I know it really isn’t worth anything, not now, but I’m sorry.”

people shitting on trans women/girls/femmes for being into puppy girl stuff annoys me. on a surface level I view it as cute, but on a deeper level it's morso feeling a kinship to an animal that is loved through it's loyalty and obedience but also relating to the dehumanization aspect as transmisogyny dehumanizes transfem individuals. dogs also give unconditional love when they are treated well and comfortably which is a perfectly understandable yearning for a minority group that isn't treated well systemically.
also dogs cute.
This is a good point and all, but the Americans with Disabilities Act has been law for over thirty years, and people still don't install safe wheelchair ramps in their buildings.
Single-family homes still have steps at every entrance as a matter of course (unless they're built by Habitat for Humanity). HOAs (homeowners' associations) forbid and even destroy wheelchair ramps that are added to homes at the homeowners' expense on a regular basis -- which is illegal, but the victim has to have funds to sue their HOA when this happens, and disabled people often do not).
We recently had to find a different specialist for my wheelchair-user spouse, because the office we had been going to, even though the structure was purpose-built as medical offices, only about twelve years ago, had a ramp so badly non-ADA-compliant that trying to use it broke our manual wheelchair. (Fortunately insurance covered a replacement but seriously?)
Most people will be neutral or even nice when they encounter someone using a wheelchair. A minority of people will have all the common courtesy of a honey badger. And virtually no one prepares for wheelchair users before any have shown up... I've had retail-business owners tell me in all seriousness that they've never had a wheelchair-using customer when of course they haven't, because their building isn't accessible.
The reason I’m not an anarchist is that in the centuries before the Americans with disabilities act people could have all installed safe wheelchair ramps in all of their buildings and they didn’t.
If you’re trying to make a system that relies on people being nice I’m not gonna go with it.
