I'd just like to clarify some things about Senator Cory Booker's marathon Senate speech in protest of the present administration and everything they are doing to the American people.

Senator Booker was NOT allowed to sit down, eat, or use the bathroom during his speech. Sitting or leaving the room to use the bathroom would be considered yielding the floor. Eating would have interfered with his speaking and the person who has the senate floor must continue to speak, except when listening to questions that they will then answer.

He only took occasional sips of water.

The person who previously held the record for longest speech on the Senate floor did have bathroom breaks and also did things like read from the encyclopedia.

Senator Booker did not do that. His speech was to point out the damage that this administration is doing and he stayed on that subject.

Senator Booker's speech did reach many people. It wasn't a silly stunt that was done so that he could take the record for longest speech. He wanted to show the country that democrats will do something to bring attention to the problems we are facing. That democrats are listening to them.

Senator Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and 4 minutes to "make good trouble."

The embarrassing answer is I had a huge crush on two separate people who were into Batman so I got into it to see what the big deal was

Long-term this has been funny because I wound up so much deeper in the hole than either of them were so what happened was like

Housing Emergency

Please help two disabled trans women and @rickybabyboy stay housed

My bank has seemingly fucked us over. I paid off our credit so we would be able to cover rent with the credit we would have from paying it off completely and save everyone some money. They have taken the money out of our account but still havent applied it to our credit days later. Now the apartment complex has turned off our water and I don't think we have time to wait anymore.

I am begging for the money to cover rent now. Please please help us. I can't be on the streets I have multiple disorders that require I mostly be homebound especially in high heat.

I am a programmer and an artist, I will do most any work in these fields for money. If you want work done you can email me at me@agie.gay or message me @utopicwork

Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol

Trans Woman Arrested, Sent to Men’s Jail For Entering Florida Capitol Bathroom
“I’m not a political activist,” she maintained. “I’m just a normal college student who thinks this law is wrong.”
erininthemorning.com|s. baum

As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.

So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.

it's important to talk about how pop psychology sucks ass. but that shouldn't distract you from also talking about how Serious, Official, Legitimate Psychology also sucks ass.

major issues with psychology/psychiatry as it currently exists:

  • an insistence on viewing different mental types through the lens of "illnesses" that need to be "treated"- it's obvious that different people have minds that work in different ways, but instead of trying to understand the different advantages and disadvantages of different mental states, and trying to help each person reach their full potential with the mind they have, psychology/psychiatry imagines a hypothetical person who's way of thinking never hinders them in any way, and then treats everyone who doesn't fit this imagined model as Sick. because every single person will always have certain situations where their style of thinking hinders them, psychology increasingly pathologizes more and more mindsets and behaviors. in pop psychology this reaches the absurd endpoint of claiming "everyone is mentally ill to some degree", but ultimately this is just an overt stating of what's implied in Legitimate Psychology.

  • an over-focus on neurology which ignores obvious social/memetic factors. you'll see someone who falls into right-wing conspiracy theory hysteria, with the flat earth and the reptilians and so forth, get diagnosed as "schizophrenic", and there's an assumption that it's something innate to their neurology that led them to these beliefs, but like, if you look at the mechanisms of what's occurring when someone adopts these sort of beliefs, the primary thing that's happening is they're getting indoctrinated into an ideology by a group. maybe there are certain neurological factors which led them to be more vulnerable to that, but if you're trying to "treat" them by treating beliefs they were indoctrinated into by other people as though they sprung forth fully formed from their "schizophrenic neurology" then you're missing at least 80% of the picture.

praying that cory booker follows this up with more action instead of just doing this and then acting like his job is done, but tonight i will revel in the joy of a black man beating a record that was set nearly 70 years ago by a segregationist

“cory booker is not actually accomplishing anything” I need you to stop being a pessimistic hag every second of ur life. u can be disillusioned. u can wish there was more done already. but this is SOMETHING!! he has broken the longest senate speech record and has been standing up for americans (and against a fascist racist oligarchy) for over 25 hours straight. hundreds of millions have and are watching him. HE is the news cycle. he is reading democratic and republican testimonies alike. people are hearing him, whether they chose to or are forced to!!!!!!! will it solve all our problems? no. but it is a Spark that will hopefully catch flame
