Life/Project/Contest Non-Update & Twittervism!
Per the usual these days, not much to report these days on the project and real life activism. It's work and chores these days with occasional socializing and getting away to make sure the the TiVo doesn't get too clogged up. The US rejected a UN resolution condemning executions of LGBT community simply because of who they love. Be outraged https://t.co/lSI2gzLGzB Equifax like mobsters: Pay us to protect you (against our mistakes & collection of data about you without your consent). Per NPR story this morning, gun store owner justified bump stocks: "Because they're fun!" Screw you, dude. Just popping on to say I'm a mental health professional and we are not equipped or able to prevent mass shootings. [Why are states refusing mostly free money?] More States To Expand Medicaid Now That Obamacare Remains Law https://t.co/TnBSjCOvYm Reading about rise of absolutism, colonialism, & nationalism throughout history at cost of celebrating diversity & humanity sickening me. White supremacists: Incontrovertible proof white people are not a superior race. You're cool with @POTUS disrespecting women, gold star parents, the disabled, Puerto Rico, the CIA, the FBI, POWs, and the free press tho. https://t.co/gUnMTobf5p The idea of "universal" stories is 100% rooted in the idea that the white cishet able-bodied male experience is universal. Which is self-reinforcing because if some men never receive fictional experiences outside the realm of that, they might never know it exists .@UncannyMagazine has released their 4th volume of their Resistance 101 series. w/ @sentencebender & Jean Rice. https://t.co/nGDIEIwZNI Just so we're clear.. [45] wants divisiveness, so he has an excuse to clamp down w/ support. Let's find a way to unite in a way that takes away support from him. US Liberals ~ Evidence based. US Conservatives ~ Values based on Roman Stoic Philosophy adopted by Christianity. Just heard a clip of Pawar on NPR: a point to say in another portion that he made it as far as he did because of his community. #ORILGOB Can we sell fuel from the US nuclear missiles to make up for the dollars lost from tax revenue going down? Because Trump is trying to be autocratic dictator, that's why. An example of [45] aiming for a Thought Police. https://t.co/sXQAqvhfEb Only stereotype: systemic uphill battle for marginalized people to reach the same status of someone w/ privilege. Books with bad racial rep but "good" queer rep--cause QPOC don't count, right?--are not examples of diversity done well. Stop. saying. this. Want the players to stop kneeling? Pass a federal police brutality law that holds cops accountable when they kill unarmed people. #congress We actually need men to start speaking up loudly about how contraception has improved their lives. After all contraception helps TWO people, don't put the burden of proving benefit just on women All for people having children if wanted & giving them maternity leave, etc, but why give up revenue for situation no one wanted? This is hard to fathom but Trump seems be getting worse at being President every passing day This. https://t.co/E5xVop4EQ1 10 people are dead in Northern California, most of Puerto Rico still doesn’t have power, and our President focuses on sportscasters. https://t.co/uVZmyZnul2 No one applaud Ben Affleck, damnit. Dude shoukd not have groped. . .and he should have felt bad years ago. After latest set of misrepresentations, I'm wondering if it's time to start acknowledging that [45]'s lost touch w/ reality & harming US? [This sucks.] Thank you. I tried. Onward. – Ameya Pawar for Governor of Illinois https://t.co/FyJJOmefET Rose McGowan's suspension speaks to the truth of social media FEMA issues a rebuke to the president: https://t.co/YfD0vZ7QZl Instead let me suggest, "I recognize my privilege. Sexual harassment and assault are epidemics and I will use my position of power to end it FUCK YOU, [45]! https://t.co/y4p0z3UYBn This close to the deadline of rate approvals for the Marketplace. HORRIBLE! Also completely lacking compassion. [45]: Here's your lower taxes. You'll need it to pay for your health insurance. Though I appreciate your presenting bald facedly the agenda of the Right. [Oldie but important] Tell Congress: Help Puerto Rico, not Wall Street | CREDO Action https://t.co/LRJrujsa78 GOP & Dem governors have urged Congress to keep our promise to families & hold down health insurance premiums. We should listen to them. Congress should act to stop @realDonaldTrump from following through on his threat to burn our health insurance system to the ground. Since #WOCAffirmation is a thing & also #FAHM, hi I'm Michi, Filipina essayist, editor & speaker. Also I spin fire. https://t.co/htkCe0tLjx pic.twitter.com/4Ke4IMnA4h Also SHOUTOUT @kdc for running @TLFblog for over a decade as a safe PAYING platform for marginalized voices in fandom! #WOCAffirmation Are you following @mallory_yu from All Things Considered? You should! She's awesome & super excited I get to meet her TODAY! #WOCAffirmation Lately the politics has been exhausting. Thinking some type of Liberal/Progressive Self-Care & Social Club Meet Up could be worthwhile? Excellent episode going over the history of gerrymandering & case law in WI over the last 5+ years. Series in Nov. https://t.co/RnbddlySva Almost worth it for a self-described old white woman calling Jeff Sessions "The elf on the shelf who's off the shelf". [Ah, makes sense now, only 4% 45 supp bought on Marketplace] Do Trump Voters Continue To Support Obamacare Repeal? https://t.co/Z9EENnvvPo [Lot of rural people prov going with these] Christian Alternative To Health Insurance, But Not For Everyone https://t.co/QUXG0dsdLb A Philando Castile Memorial Fund Has Wiped Out All Student Lunch Debt in St. Paul https://t.co/30dGu8lYVK [Single payer will help here] Analysis: The problem with health care is the prices https://t.co/tq499SXh20 [Men, listen. . .] Abigail Adams urges husband to “remember the ladies” - Mar 31, 1776 - https://t.co/js0RP0MmhC https://t.co/N3ROfyRLAW [Already have a Democratic 2020 US Presidential candidate] John K. Delaney for President https://t.co/kDaiAz0tlu Two Chicago airport police officers who dragged a United passenger off a plane have been fired: https://t.co/kRio7lS0Tx @kairyssdal Why isn't anyone acknowledging GOP has sabotaged ACA? Destroying risk corridors, not approp funds/CSRs. https://t.co/gJcc91F0AH Tell Congress: No legal immunity for the gun industry | CREDO Action https://t.co/sUZe4RBabY Not sorry, [45], but not funding CSRs isn't preventing "insurance conpany bail outs," it's punishing good citizens in bad circumstances. I'm more entertained by this than I should be. [Vague allusion to why [45] talks about CSRs as bailouts] Why the alt-right loves single-payer health care - Vox https://t.co/Yda2M0FZT1 Our shows actively want subs from underrepresented authors. Don't self-reject, please consider our markets! Questions? We're here to help! This essay, "Let Me Tell You" by @ceciliatan, is so good it hurts. Gonna teach this as soon as I get a chance. https://t.co/HuzWHZDuwo [Where do they come from?] [45] pick for top environmental post called belief in global warming a 'kind of paganism' https://t.co/COO0Yrp6be Thread on Kelly’s complicity in Trump’s ugly Gold Star disaster. This is a WH that puts POTUS’s needs first—above propriety, empathy, grace👇 https://t.co/GNR12a3Pw4 If you want to see something written about, write that essay. If you have an experience that doesn’t get enough attention, write about it.
Not much to report on the contest to benefit Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands after Hurricane Maria that I introduced here. Deadline to act on it is still Wednesday, October 25, 2017 11:59 PM. No entries to request a matching donation have been entered, neither has anyone submitted any donations to increase the matching funds above the base $50. Help me help Puerto Rico and the US Virigin Islands by participating!
And now some Twittervism since I don't have any essays in me:
Just ban the damn guns.
CAN play in NFL:
Steroid users
Domestic Abusers
Rapists
Accused murderers
Racists
Cant play:
Protesters
Humans made this thing
It doesn't have justice built-in
