Heya everyone, This is an urgent aid request. My brother needs to cover the cost of an emergency car repair soon or he will likely lose his job, and he's the sole income for himself and his disabled husband. All help is appreciated. Please signal boost! #helpsky gofund.me/c16a8faf

🚨BREAKING: Federal courts BLOCKS the dismantling of Dept. of Education. This is huge win for @democracyforward.org, their clients and the state AGs. “The record abundantly reveals that Defendants’ true intention is to effectively dismantle the Department without an authorizing statute."

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

So much of what's needed to meet this moment is care work. It's genuine combat with fascism. We need to be feeding each other, sheltering each other. It's revolution as has been practiced. So much of my anarchism is trying to get care & resources to folks through mutual aid, doesn't look scary.

The Wiltunscir Raven. I saw some archeological news 2 weeks ago about a ring piece and a golden raven head found by detectorists in Wiltshire. It looked so cool so I decided to make a character around it. (I’m open for this to be a #dtiyschallenge.) #magpiesketches #dtiys #characterdesign

The witch walks ways of hawthorn. The witch walks ways of hemlock. She has no fear of the maples in the hedge despite the claims of folklore. Her footsteps are acts of ritual agency and intent. Her routes always taking her into a deeper relationship with the land. #£milyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’. I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY. Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

I’m convinced that the worst thing we do to children is convince them that curiosity is bad, and asking questions is rude or embarrassing. That’s the precise moment when learning gives way to “I don’t need to know anything else”, and that makes us infinitely susceptible to abuses of power.

I need cis people to understand that if this bill passes, thousands of trans people will die. That's not hyperbole. That's not sensationalism. That's fact. You know the genocide of trans people in the United States you refuse to acknowledge? It's here.

I pity modern day man-eating animals. Between the synthetic clothes, cologne, shampoo, meds and microplastics, we really make for a lousy meal. On the upside, us getting fatter and fatter might make us super tasty. We are basically junk food.

Ngl, I kind of get the confusion. The core idea of The Senate is, “Land kind of should vote,” and land ownership was a prerequisite for enfranchisement near the Founding. What’s missed is a few key moments of, “No, land should not vote, people should.”

You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.
