"We are trapped in a reality TV autocrat's funhouse mirror, a blurred continuum of shock and sorrow that exhausts our capacity for clarity of thought." - Sarah Kendzior
That’s it. That’s the tweet.
Tell me about your worst work mistakes. Sometimes I comfort myself with not being the person who got a ship stuck in the Suez Canal but that's not working today.
Do not let anyone tell you it's always been the norm to go to school with lice. It has not ever been. That is not how this goes. We used to have people who had, in their job duties, to check for lice and send kids home and notify about outbreaks.

Baby, why do you think they are criminalizing homelessness. We're gonna be free labor til we die or we free ourselves.
Others have said this better but I truly don't think people are remembering that many of the students protesting now, have never expected cops to protect them. They have grown up doing school shooting drills and they know if something happens, no one is coming. They're prepared.
Y’all are patiently waiting for a personalized letter in the mail stating “we are now in WWIII” or “Covid is actually dangerous, sorry we lied to you” or “Neither politician party cares if you live or die as long as you vote first.”
I highly disagree. You should do it anyway but being a good person often has a cost. It’s illegal to feed homeless neighbors in many states. At work and in life, people will and do take advantage of kindness. Taking a stand can cost you your employment or education.
It’s not a conspiracy. It’s the rise of fascism around the world which has been happening for several decades and scholars have been warning everyone the entire fucking time.
Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but it's REALLY weird how censorship and surveillance is coming from all fronts, in different countries, simultaneously.
We’re not doing this.
This is ecofascism. This rhetoric is spitting in the face of Indigenous wisdom. Humans are not the disease. Capitalism, overconsumption, and the greed of corporations is. You know better. Find better ways to express your frustrations.
Breaking: the CDC says death is mild, actually, and as long as you’re not showing symptoms, you can go to work while dead but should stay home and isolate if your flesh is in the final stages of decay.
