Minneapolis Public Schools just emailed to say that enrollment is down this year—likely due to Metro Surge—with 900 fewer English Language Learners compared to this time last year. An estimated $12.9 million less revenue for our schools. The impacts of ICE on our community continue to mount.

i don't think the goal of this website should be for it to be as active as threads or twitter. i see this website as the social media equivalent of shooting off a blank to keep the rent low

my gut said that he wasn't just gonna forget about this. this is so cool

if rem wants to play with rabies ronnie he should be able to. let the dude live a little #deadlock

people in the comments of this video are saying to move to the app upscrolled but it's still a ghost town over there. i agree with the dinner party idea of trying to have these conversations in person, but it's gonna be hard to keep people motivated if there aren't many good posters yet

The billionaires (and trillionaire) and their platforms Gotta Go. Don’t even care how they Go now, but they gotta Go.

not that it matters but i haven't been posting on here much because frankly the vibes continue to be rancid both from a bluesky administrative standpoint and a platform culture standpoint. i know that i'm existing in my own bubble when i say this, but this is how it feels to me continuously on here

i do want a place on the internet to express myself and i have been able to do that here, but it's hard to stay motivated when the people running this website seem to have an active disdain towards a large portion of their active userbase

culturally it's hard to stay motivated to do much of anything as a marginalized person given the rise of fascism in the united states and other parts of the world. it's not so much bluesky as it is.. everything else

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

prince has become a sorta default listening experience for me lately. when i feel the need to get away from daily stressors (which is often) the music feels like a return to form

i also think about how for a time he was making at least a song a day which is so inspiring. i'm trying to learn the importance of setting and forgetting in art. if you can't capture an idea in the moment then it probably wasn't meant to be

be good to people. spread kindness whenever possible. love eachother even when it's hard. i hope to see you again some day

audhd and depression is really fucked up because what do you mean i can't listen to my own music without getting overstimulated. what do you mean i can't be on a voice chat with my friends without misophonia kicking in

the last time i had an actual conversation with my sibling i was told to get my money up in order to be included in their life and in the same conversation brought up male socialization as a way to frame my upbringing

and when i said that a lot of trans women don't fly with that rhetoric i get scolded and told that i can't speak for all trans women. this is how im treated and yet i have to be the one who shuts the fuck up because if i speak up i'm the problem

i would love to make 40k+ a year, i'm trying to make that a reality for myself. however, it will not happen through a desperate attempt at muting the things that disable me. i've tried that time and time again

if transitioning didn't save my life i would have never done it. the isolation from family and society is fucking brutal man. the fact that this shit happens to the majority of trans women i've met is heartbreaking

it makes me feel like such an asshole man.. give me a fucking break. all of this shit is going on in my life and i still have to try to hold down a 9-5 and if i don't i'm a bad person. my sibling has a stipulation where they won't try to build a connection with me until i make like 40k+ a year

if i were wiser back then i would have gotten in my car on a one way trip to give them a hug. to give them company in those moments of isolation. i know it's not my fault but it still hurts to know that i could have done more

so i made them a promise and i intend to keep it. i will carry them with me and i will be a vessel for remembrance. i will share what i know and feel with the world and when i die i will pass it along. it's the least i can do. i love you so much

but i'm still here and they aren't. when i think about them i can't help but wonder why that is. am i too stubborn? what does the universe know that i don't? many many things, and i wish i could know them but i may never know. i may never be set free for as long as i live

i think this is what they struggled with, more than i will ever know. the fear of the unknown. the existential dread that it may never improve and that one's actions may have been incorrect in the grand scheme of things

they had an impeccable taste in music. they lit up any room they stepped foot in. they wanted to make sure that you felt included. they were extremely funny. they wanted to show through action that they cared deeply. it often feels like they were better than i could ever be

one of the hardest things to do is to spread love even when you don't love yourself. if you know somebody like that in your life tell them that they're doing a good job

i was hanging out with ol' mitchy this past month or so. we were playing terraria and i was loredumping about bionicle. bro didn't know what a hellevator was so i told him that he's gonna go down one real soon

in beyond the spiderverse spider-gwen is gonna eat an uncrustable and wash it down with capri-sun and people will still say that she's cis

Trans people are apparently useless when it comes to winning elections yet have an almost mythological power to lose them by withholding those supposedly unimportant votes.
