The wizard's pajama robes are set on a little table next to the bathtub. He carefully steps into the bath. It is just the right temperature and the bubbles smell of spring.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

“That child deserves our support,” @governorwalz.mn.gov continued. “Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Why then did you vote *today* to confirm Trump’s pick for Assistant Secretary of Defense, @kim.senate.gov? www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Everyone who supports and fights for abortion access should also support and fight for access to trans healthcare. Every body deserves autonomy.

The wizard casts a magic spell and all the trash cans in the tower are suddenly empty. Outside, a trash can fills up with all the week's trash.

Right before dawn, a red dragon brings a small bundle of letters and packages and drops them on the tower's roof.

The wizard puts a very gentle heat spell on a pillow for the little cat to sit on.

The wizard checks the messages on his orb.

honestly think target could have just not done pride at all this year and it would have looked better for them than... whatever the sad beige shit they have is.

Travelling salesman. What's he selling?

The wizard gives the little cat a bit of fish jerky.

YOU ARE A TRUE WARRIOR. I AM PROUD OF YOU.

The wizard sleeps well. The little cat stalks an illusionary frog around the bedroom.

The wizard's pajama robes are set on a little table next to the bathtub. He carefully steps into the bath. It is just the right temperature and the bubbles smell of beeswax.

The little cat tries to go into the laboratory while the wizard is working with fire and is repelled by the wards.

Just like with masks, the opposition to vaccines from the right was never about mandates. They don’t want you to have choices. They want you to make *their* choice. And now they will force you to do so.

The wizard's pajama robes are set on a little table next to the bathtub. He carefully steps into the bath. It is just the right temperature and the bubbles smell of papaya.

The wizard makes a hard cheese and arugula casserole with a pleasant, salty cheese.

NO WARRIOR CAN FIGHT ALONE. ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT.

Thousands of workers and students have signed to demand that CUNY: 1. Refuse to capitulate to authoritarian demands from the Trump administration 2. Provide free legal representation for any student or worker threatened with deportation 3. Keep ICE and DHS OFF OUR CAMPUSES!

As dawn breaks over the horizon, a large monster wearing a bronze fascinator ambles past the wizard's path, stops at their trash can, and eats the contents. It looks contented and moves on.

The wizard is snuggled into his bed, reading a novel about a international diamond thief. The little cat is curled up above his head, on the pillow.

The wizard's pajama robes are set on a little table next to the bathtub. He carefully steps into the bath. It is just the right temperature and the bubbles smell of lavender.

The little cat meows at the wizard. He meows back. The little cat looks offended.

The wizard sleeps tranquilly. In the distance, frogs sing.

Here’s a generic version of a one-pager that I took to my senator’s district office, urging him to take action against trans healthcare bans in Medicaid. I’m not a political strategist or anything, just a concerned citizen. Adapt it as desired! www.canva.com/design/DAGoI...

In less than two days, 13,000+ people have taken a few minutes to protect the healthcare of trans people, and all Americans nationwide. Let's keep going. Tell a friend to join you and take action: Demand Congress to protect our healthcare! action.transequality.org/a/stopmedica...

The wizard's pajama robes are set on a little table next to the bathtub. He carefully steps into the bath. It is just the right temperature and the bubbles smell of amber.

Sometimes you just need a weird lungfish to break up your timeline:

The wizard carefully loads the crates of potions and charms onto the farmer's cart to take into town for market day.

Happy 9th Birthday, Balzak!🎉 Our 2,448-pound walrus celebrated in true style with a custom ice cake, garnished with a gourmet selection of shrimp, propeller clams, and herring—all sustainable, restaurant-quality, of course. Don’t miss the “9” artfully crafted from herring by his dedicated keepers!

Harvard correctly understands that it’s in a fight for its life and there is no appeasement that will save it. I wish a lot more institutions understood this.

I don’t think the general public understands how much international students help keep colleges going. Not just from an intellectual and cultural aspect… but purely financial. They generally pay higher costs for tuition, have to spend more in housing and food on campus, and pay cash.

The manicurist is painting the wizard's nails blueberry with a cupreous accent.

I know pretty much every trans person is some combination of anxiety and dread this week So this message is for cis people: This is it. Yeah, the odds of this budget stopping are slim, but if you shrug and let it happen without calling, protesting, anything you can do? You gave up on trans lives.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

It's cruel. It's an incredible escalation of their anti-trans culture war. And there is still a chance to stop the provision in the Senate, so if you have a trans person in your life you care about, I implore you - make your voice heard with your Senators. Both of them. Republican OR Democrat.

The little cat steps on the wizard's face, waking him up. He goes to make waffles with watermelon compote and put some fish out for the little cat. As he makes tea, the air fills with the smell of cinnamon. The wizard reads the new issue of Magic-Users Weekly as he eats his breakfast.

As dawn breaks, a magazine appears in the wizard's mailbox.

The wizard is snuggled into his bed, reading a novel about a detective. The little cat is curled up above the covers, by his feet.

If you think COVID vaccines should continue to be available to all: take 5 min and add your comments at the link below. (Advice for what to say in the linked thread.)

What was the point of a 25 hour filibuster if you're just going to vote to confirm Jared Kushner's corrupt dad?
