Remembering this trans man for Pride. Mexican Revolutionary Amelio Robles Ávila, who threatened to shoot anyone who misgendered him and said "he did not want to die without being known as a man,” lived his life as a man after transitioning. One of Zapata’s top commanders. We have always been here.

Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...

„Festnahmen unter eines Beratungstermins seien "nicht unrechtmäßig", müssten aber "die absolute Ausnahme" bleiben, heißt es." Was für ein Mensch muss man sein, um so etwas zu tun? Ich meine damit die Person, die in der Ausländerbehörde arbeitet, und auch die beiden Polizeibeamten.

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

I've been working through 2025's animated student films, and I've definitely got a favorite so far. "Death is a Giant Peanut," by Amy Boisvert. It's less than 7 minutes. Give it a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNal...

Ooh, this was really helpful for me to see the dimensions involved - from the mountain peak collapse that started it to the size/location of the village that was half-covered. Thanks @stim3on.bsky.social ! 🧪

2017 hat Norbert Blüm ein flammenden, mit vielen klugen Argumenten unterlegten Appell an seine CDU geschrieben, den Familiennachzug für Geflüchtete nicht zu verbieten. Er würde sich im Grabe umdrehen, wüsste er vom heutigen Zustand der deutschen Christdemokratie. www.faz.net/aktuell/poli...

Two days ago, I finally managed to catch M16 with the #Seestar #S50 from Heidelberg. Here is a combination of all the frames I have so far, from Heidelberg and from Cape Town last year. Lots more photons needed, but it's a start! And you can make out the fingers of creation :-) 🧪🔭

This proposed budget is a policy statement, not an appropriation. There are still a lot of steps and potential changes ahead before it becomes one. This is not a time to sit quietly, team. Let's go.

Finde es komplett bizarr, dass diese hanebüchene “Kosten senken” Lüge weiter unkritisch zu übernehmen - obwohl sie ein klarer Vorwand zur Zerstörung des administrativen Staats ist - obwohl wir längst wissen, dass Milliarden Extrakosten durch DOGE & Musk entstanden sind

Yes, it's long. Yes, it's complex. Yes, it's detailed. And yes, it will make you sad unto nihilistic depression. But it's also necessary to read because AI is going to fuck the planet beyond expression. www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1...

This story is wild. Sacramento PD went to the hospital after she was T-boned and interviewed her for hours and concluded she was drunk and tried to charge her even though nothing was in her system and doctors said she was behaving normally. 😮😮😮😮
