Reminder: You don't get to claim the title of "ally". It's something bestowed (or not) by the people you are *trying to* ally with. Ally is a verb, not a noun. It's something you *do*, and have to keep repeating, for it to count. And only the people you're trying to help get to decide whether you succeeded. #ally #progressive #lgbtq #lgbtqia #disabled #disability #advocacy #neurodivergent #PoC #minority #feminism

Woke at five, window cracked, pollen already on the tongue — what the body knew before the phone did was this: something hollow has been put in charge of something enormous. Jaw clenched since February. Not metaphor.

Tha an talamh a' dùsgadh — the earth is waking — and along the Appalachian ridges the dogwoods have opened into their four-petaled cross, the red clay after last night's rain smelling of iron and something older. She who holds does not forget. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

A former White House lawyer went on cable Wednesday night and said what the Beltway has been miming for months. Ty Cobb told Ari Melber on MS NOW that the president displays "the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's," including sleep-wake reversal producing four-a.m. Truth Social screeds also https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

What Ty Cobb said: "This is somebody who just is lost. He gets into these screeds at odd times. And one of the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's is the sleep-wake reversal." The deterioration gets reported as spectacle while the governing gets reported as normal politics. It is not. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

March closed at 20.97°C average sea surface temperature — second-highest ever recorded for the month, behind only last year's El Niño peak. The European Copernicus Climate Change Service published the number Friday. It reads like a thermometer. It is actually a verdict. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

At least six openly queer people made the 2026 Time 100 — Minter, Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy, and Olympic hockey forward Hilary Knight among them. The spray-tanned fascist has spent his second term trying to cancel us by decree, it just didn't happen. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

"The moment of change is the only poem." — Adrienne Rich Rich wrote that line inside a war she could not stop, in a language just beginning to include her. The change she meant was not triumphant. It was the moment the mind refuses to accept what the world has just told it. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

"People don't just happen. We sacrifice former versions of ourselves. We sacrifice the people who dared to raise us." — Saeed Jones The self you are now was paid for. In losses you chose and losses you did not. In the people you became visible to and the people who could not bear your visibility. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans /|\

"I speak into the silence. I toss the stone of my story into a vast crevice; measure the emptiness by its small sound." — Carmen Maria Machado What Machado is giving you at the close of a hard day: the story you tell may land in a place that does not echo back, and the not-echoing is not proof of nothing. The stone still fell. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid /|\

Trump's out here torching the very motherfuckers who crowned him—Carlson, Kelly, Jones, Owens—because they dared oppose his Iran war. Called them losers. Greene said he's the one who changed. And ain't that always the story? Power doesn't reveal character; it devours it whole. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-tucker-carlson-was-never-the-end-goal #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture

Tha an samhradh a' teannadh dlùth — the summer draws close — and the redbud's last purple has already fallen into mud, replaced by a green so new it stings. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-tucker-carlson-was-never-the-end-goal #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #druid #nature #pagan /|\

The spray-tanned shit swizzling heavens gate looking motherfuckering fascist threatened to blockade the planet's most critical oil artery on Easter Sunday while his former DHS chief's husband was allegedly begging to become a woman named Crystal. The week tastes like jet fuel and mascara. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-tucker-carlson-was-never-the-end-goal #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture

Emperor penguins need sea ice the way a lung needs air — not preference but biological prerequisite. The IUCN reclassified the emperor penguin from "Near Threatened" to "Endangered" last week, projecting population will halve by the 2080s. The Antarctic fur seal jumped two categories — "Least Concern" to "Endangered" — after a nearly 50% population crash between 1999 and 2025. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-tucker-carlson-was-never-the-end-goal #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture

"The only way we'll have real pride is when we demand recognition of a culture that isn't just sexual. It's a culture of brothers doing what they can to save each other's lives." — Larry Kramer, playwright, ACT UP co-founder, Reports from the Holocaust (1989) https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-tucker-carlson-was-never-the-end-goal #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture

#Catholic coalition fracturing: Three American cardinals condemned the Iran war on 60 Minutes the same evening. NBC polling shows voters view #PopeLeo more favorably than the president by 12 points. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-a-dumbass-a-pope-a-war-no-one-wanted-walk-into-a-bar #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture

The narcissistic spray-tan charlatan spent his Sunday night attacking the Bishop of Rome for suggesting that maybe — maybe — bombing an entire civilization into ash is goddamn immoral.

Pope Leo XIV — first American-born pontiff, a Chicago kid — stood aboard his plane to Algeria Monday and said it flat: "I have no fear of the Trump administration." https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-pope-leo-tells-trump-to-sit-the-fuck-down #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture

Orwell vs Huxley "There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution." - Aldous Huxley "The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what's happening." - George Orwell 1984 "Doublethink mens the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneosly, and accepting both of them." - George Orwell "Central to all forms of oppression is the need to prevent people from openly discussing ideas and issues." - George Orwell "It's not so much staying alive, it's staying HUMAN that's important. What counts is that we don't betray each other." - George Orwell "It is this fear of a supposedly dangerous mob that makes nearly all intelligent people conservative in their opinons." - George Orwell "If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it it because self knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion."- Aldous Huxley "Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is a hardly a healthy human left." - Aldous Huxley "People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think." - Aldous Huxley "The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he beleieves himself to be free." - Aldous Huxley "Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons." - Aldous Huxley "The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence." - Aldous Huxley #GeorgeOrwell #AldousHuxley #OrwellRolls #FreeSpeech #Censorship #SurveillanceState #StopSpyingOnUs #Green #Progressive #Libertarian #RadicalFeminist #Solidarity #BigPharma #Gaslighting
