On 11/5/68, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to Congress. "Fighting" Shirley Chisholm rocked the House to its foundations. We all benefit from her trailblazing legacy. Definitely one of the heroes! #NewYork #NYC #History #Historian #historymatters #BlackWomen #NamingGotham #histodons @histodons https://www.amazon.com/Naming-Gotham-Villains-Rogues-Heroes/dp/1467151408

Why is it when I meet sighted people who I haven't seen in a long time they play games with me? I don't want to have to fucking guess who you are. If I don't remember, I don't remember. Stop toying with me! It's disrespectful and sighted people wouldn't treat another sighted person the same way so why me because I'm blind? It's some bullshit and I will not have it! Either tell me who you are in person or do not speak with me at all. Don't ever play games with me unless they're on my terms. Full stop.

I just blogged my argument for why we shouldn't use the slogan "from the river to the sea" https://micahflee.com/2023/11/why-we-shouldnt-use-the-slogan-from-the-river-to-sea/

You always thought that keeping all body parts under the covers was the only way to keep you safe at night. It's only when you bring a furry little monster into your house that you realize that you were right all along.

Here's some helpful Mastodon tips for the newcomers on here:

1. The app automatically scans your thumbprint. Make sure to wear gloves if you don't want this data to be collected and sold to thumb enthusiasts.

2. The platform has voice-activated capabilities. Try yelling "HUNGRY!" and the nearest Mastodon employee will bring you a snack.

3. Tell us about yourself! Write either "pro-ghost" or "anti-ghost" in your bio to avoid simple misunderstandings.

Ukraine needs us NOW; otherwise, the US will eventually be at war with Russia. Wake the fuck up, #Republicans.

⚠️Yet another #recall

Tyson Foods is voluntarily recalling about 30,000 pounds of its dino-shaped chicken nuggets after some consumers reported finding small metal pieces in their patties.

Israeli minister suspended from govt meetings after suggesting dropping nuclear bomb on Gaza

Well, it is these ultranationalist right wing lunatics where Netanyahu has his election from... with a margin of only 2 or 3 %... And these are the ones that shaped his government during his rule that went on for too long...

@timkmak

Ukraine will get its territory back, all of it, including Crimea. Sevastopol too.

Russia is a rogue petrostate bent on expansion.

The alternative is an emboldened Putin bent on his next conquest.

Ask Austria what a policy of territorial relinquishment and appeasement bought.

Giving in to Putin buys the globe a WW3. This time nuclear.

@GottaLaff The Speaker seems to have repeated memory loss issues. Or he’s a habitual liar.

Mike Johnson is a lunatic christofascist.

That he is now second in line for the presidency behind Kamala Harris is beyond terrifying.

My butcher has started making sausages from seabirds.
Today he's taken a tern for the wurst.

(Sorry, so wonderfully bad I had to share...)

Wow. #MikeJohnson on [#ClusterFox] Sunday doesn't rule out voting against access to #contraception but then says "I really don't remember any of those measures" when asked about his past votes against reproductive health care
