It's Juneteenth today, y'all! Can I ask y'all to give this an extra special boost & please purchase one of my Pride Daily Planners if you can? Every purchase helps me to gather enough funds to get the gum graft procedure that I need (asap!). ko-fi.com/beaeli/goal

We rely on game cams to capture important data on elusive species like black-footed cats. That "data" also happens to include adorable kitten play sessions 😍

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

FINALLY got some good news for a change and I've adjusted the goal downwards to something slightly more achievable. Updates on the GFM page; please continue sharing the link and donating if you can. 💛

Thread of new #sciart in my shop now

please do this for your trans friends.

The big red line was the 2008 financial crisis, when it became clear no rich person was going to be punished for anything, and then two years later Citizens United was overturned and politicians became dramatically more financially incentivized to never punish rich people for anything.

Library of Congress has published over 11,000 hi-res shots of U.S. roadside attractions into the public domain. The photos were taken by architectural critic and photographer John Margolies, who spent forty years documenting his travels along U.S. highways

Conservative administrations exist to put public property into private hands. It's their overwhelming motivation: that people should own nothing, and everything is rent-seeking.

"And what about people who need to mask to avoid pollen, chemical scents or wildfire smoke? They won’t be able to under this new bill. Last year we saw record wildfires with many days of dangerous air quality all over Canada and the US. " No mask bans.

Turtle Mutual Aid:

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

Big dinosaurs for a small price. 👇🦖

Earlier I was looking up the page length of a regency historical romance ebook and noticed that, under product details, Amazon has randomly included that it is #1,997 in Space Marine Science Fiction. I have read this regency historical romance, and there are no space marines nor any science fiction

If you're at a rally/protest today, please consider masking in public for the next few days. The new covid variant NB 1.8.1 is highly transmissible, and if you care about your community, you don't want to spread disease before your symptoms develop if you caught it at a large gathering.

It’s really heartbreaking to think of all of the other ways the millions of dollars of parade money could have been spent to truly support our military. It could have helped active duty service members and veterans in need… for example, just imagine if it had gone toward supporting the VA instead.

Urgent community action needed by Monday! “DOE wants to remove 12 civil rights rules. Part of these are disability access protections. They say the rules are unnecessary & outdated” This will mean buildings aren’t accessible to disabled people. Another step towards eliminating us from society

“The most anti-capitalist protest is to care for another and to care for yourself. To take on the historically feminized and therefore invisible practice of nursing, nurturing, caring. To take seriously each other’s vulnerability and fragility and precarity, and to support it, honor it, empower it…

Now seems like a REALLY GOOD TIME to repost my GoFundMe what with the fucking $1900 car repair we need to do now

This has not gotten enough traction. Those with physical or mental disability are under attack by the DoE with a new proposed rule that will deregulate handicapped access to future buildings regulations. Please submit a public comment in opposition. We only have 3 days left!

@queenanthai.bsky.social needs cataract surgery. Please help her out.

Ways to be executed by the US: - Be arrested and charged with one of a very short list of heinous crimes. - Be convicted of that crime by unanimous jury vote. - Be then sentenced to death by a separate jury vote. - Have that upheld by a series of appeal trial judges. or Mildly annoy a cop.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Messages in our staff chat often crack me up (and are often overly weighted with emu shenanigans). Any sort of outdoor cleaning accumulates emus, who, being agents of chaos, are wildly unhelpful at making anything clean.

Here is a short script you can use to call your representatives and tell them to demand RFKJ’s resignation.

"During a May 14 congressional hearing, @robertgarcia.bsky.social confronted Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem, pleading for confirmation that Hernández Romero was alive. She refused to consider what he had to say.” "It’s really sad to see that someone can be so heartless,” he said. #FreeAndry

The difference between a human trafficker and a law enforcement officer doing their job is due process. ICE does not give its detainees due process, and regularly sends innocent people to one of the most hellish prisons on Earth. They are the moral equivalent of slave catchers.

Today in Hell Yes, research: Once again, the data show there is no such thing as an autism epidemic, just better detection. Anyone who claims otherwise—especially if positioning themselves as an a autism research advocate—deserves severe and profound side-eyes. publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/is-ther...

Surging output from solar farms has led to a rare decline in fossil fuel power production in India, and is setting the stage for a potential drop in annual coal-fired power output in the world's second-largest coal consumer. Reuters’ ROI column by @gavinjmaguire.bsky.social‬: reut.rs/4l2OPnh

To remove vaccines from ACIP guidelines, which seems to be the end goal here, is effectively a ban. If a vaccine is not recommended, Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance can refuse to cover it. Few people can afford to pay for the cost out of pocket. RFK Jr's end game is to ban vaccines!!!

When will they give up on the fantasy of knowing without thinking

Vaccines are rigorously tested, they are effective, and they save lives. More than 150 million lives have been saved in the past 50 years thanks to vaccines! But you may be worried about what's in them? So, let’s break it down ⬇

First they cut PEPFAR, and now an estimated 1,500 babies are being born with HIV every day. 1500 preventable infections every day. Countless deaths. Now they’re slashing the measles & rubella monitoring which helps keep us apprised of global outbreaks. Targeting the most vulnerable yet again.

Haymarket Books always shows up. Here are some books they are making available for free that are good to have.

An outspoken vaccine conspiracy theorist just fired every last member of CDC's vaccine advisory committee. RFK Jr. is paving the way to reshape vaccine policy based not on decades of science, but on his own unhinged fanaticism. This is unprecedented, and unthinkably dangerous.
