Bisexuals. Everybody wants us, but no one "wants" us. Hey, lesbians! What did we ever do to you, besides lead you on and break your heart?

THE LIBRARIANS - Official Trailer [source]

America’s war on books is more than a war on words. THE LIBRARIANS, a new feature documentary from Academy Award® nominee and Peabody Award winner Kim A. Snyder. In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQIA+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

What RFK is saying: "Autistic people can't work, so it's our duty as a society to erase autism" -> This is eugenics

Harmful response: "Many autistic people do work!" -> Validates the belief that that someone being unable to work is shameful and makes them a lesser person, and implies that autistic people should not need support

Buying coffee for people who wanted to overthrow the legally elected government, even if they didn’t all know that was what they wanted to do, was a Bad Look, yes.

PP has made himself much more visible on a national / intnl level the last few years, including getting endorsements from Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson, et al. It’s much harder to see him as a faceless Conservative and not the face of the Conservatives (especially seeing the number of full colour photos of himself they shoved in the party platform doc lmao)

Lots of federal workers live in the carleton riding, and object to the proposed CA!doge.

There’s been a fair amount of development there lately too, meaning demographics have shifted a bit from true-blue rural

He only started appearing to pay attention to his own riding in the last couple of weeks, as stories that it was in jeopardy started to emerge. My general impression from people who live there is that he’s been, locally, a fairly useless MP. (He held a rally in “Nepean” riding recently, I believe, that turned out to be in his own Carleton and he didn’t even know, bc he’s never there).

TRUMP. Poilievre made it clear he won’t defend Canada and explicitly said the aggression is “our fault. We’re stupid.” Had he pushed back on tariffs pr annexation rhetoric a la either carney or ford, he’d likely not only have kept his seat but be PM. But he threw in with the leopard and it ate his face

which name(s) you know gives you different powers over them.

there are Rules but you mostly have to figure them out for yourself.

getting the Rules wrong or breaking them can cost you more than you ever even knew you had.
