love is my mom, who consistently struggles with the kids' pronouns and is bewildered by their life choices but takes them a load of groceries when the government shuts down half their household's SNAP benefits
yeah it would be better if the old lady could change gears but shit, who's rocking up with canned soup and fresh vegetables from her garden and actually doing the mundane work of feeding their house of tiny lefty queers?
it's grandma 💕

So, uh. Last night I was in this discussion where one woman tried to convince me – and few others – that without men, women would basically be doomed. Her reasoning? That without men, women would be vulnerable and left without protection.
And I’m just sitting there, trying really hard to think of a single danger that only threatens women – one that isn’t somehow, directly or indirectly, caused by men being massive assholes.
And it made me feel like an asshole, too. Because, like, she's a woman and I didn't want to mansplain feminism to her. God damn it.

Interview with Francesca Albanese on her newest report, “Gaza Genocide: a collective crime”
"The genocide in Gaza was not committed in isolation, but as part of a system of global complicity."
Rather than ensuring Israel respects the self-determination of the Palestinian people, western states have provided it with military, diplomatic, economic & ideological support.

Francesca Albanese: genocide in Gaza would not be happening without the complicity of other countries
'The genocide in Gaza was not committed in isolation, but as part of a system of global complicity.' That's the conclusion of the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese.David Marr (ABC listen)

Nie mając języka, jak mamy tworzyć rzeczywistość?
Niestety, "dobro wspólne" po polsku jest pojęciem zawłaszczonym przez dyskurs abstrakcyjny i moralny (w szczególności przez "katolicką naukę społeczną") - tu mamy garść przykładów.
"Dobra wspólne" z kolei, najbliższe naszemu znaczeniu, językowo kojarzą się z materialnymi zasobami, i nie widzę sposobu, żeby łatwo wyrazić nieodłączną część pojęcia, jaką jest proces ich współtworzenia i współutrzymywania - the commoning.
To nie znaczy, że się nie da, ale pewnie trzeba sklastrować więcej głów do tego zadania - dlatego piszę tutaj.
Chris Fowlie warns that if you've made cannabis brownies, or tinctures, or do any processing of it, you're now at risk of being charged with manufacture of a class B drug;

The MODA drug classification system is such bullshit. You know what else is in class B? Cocaine, one of the 5 most physically and societally dangerous recreational drugs in use, according to the famous Lancet paper by David Nutt et al;

Also in class B, MDMA. One of the least dangerous recreational drugs according to Nutt et al. Nutt is infamous for pointing out that similar numbers of people ride horses and take ecstasy, but it's the riders who come to more harm from their habit (web search "equasy").
You know what isn't even covered in the MODA's 20th century drug classification system? According to Nutt et al, it's the single most dangerous recreational drug used in anglophone countries.Alcohol.
It's a bullshit law.

He’s weathered just as much from the establishment Democrats.
Opposition from the opposition party is perfectly normal. Opposition from your own party against the interests of its own voters lays bare the corruption and tone deafness of the DNC.
Zohran (and others like him) are the cure for the malignant cancer that has overtaken the party for the last several decades.

Hard agree! The response by Democrats to Mamdani has been very telling.
