I’m pretty sure most people think of banned books as the ones you saw on posters in your library, and most of these are ironically easier to find since most have been around for ages. But the newer and lesser known books vanish easier and are the true sign of how book bans are progressing.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Louisiana officially ends mass vaccinations as RFK Jr. comes to power arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

Just had to refill meds that RFK Jr wants to do away with, & it's already not covered by insurance. I need $43 for my antipsychotic, GLP1, & vitamin d. I'm still in a bad TMJ flare. Every cent helps! 💕💸 #HelpSky #MutualAid #DisabilityCrowdfund #HelpPeopleLive2025 paypal.me/rookkilljoy C/V: foxrook

I gotta admit, seeing this level of open corruption goes a long way towards explaining why the Imperial stormtroopers' gear in Star Wars turned out to be completely useless the first time some stone-age teddy bears started throwing hands.

I did not expect to go through the worst TMJ flare I've ever had & don't have enough foods I don't have to chew. If you'd like to help a poor disabled queer get more soup, yogurt, & applesauce, I'd be so very grateful. 💕💸 #HelpSky #MutualAid #DisabilityCrowdfund paypal.me/rookkilljoy C/V: foxrook

Hello, you wonderful folk! Disabled queer gig worker & artist dealing with depression & asthma problems. I need $150 for my car tag renewal & to get masks to continue to be covid safe. TYSM for helping keep me going! 💕💸 #HelpSky #MutualAid #DisabilityCrowdfund paypal.me/rookkilljoy C/V: foxrook

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

“…and thus, when the worst came to pass, the Democratic opposition did the only thing they understood - instruct interns to compose something vaguely ominous on social media, and ask for more money. Then they took the weekend off.” - A Brief History of the Fall of Empire, post-Cannibal era, 2034

I just want to scream, “What the hell can I do against all of THIS?!?”

If you’re a blue state legislator wondering how you can protect trans people right now, allowing birth certificates to be changed without listing them as “amended” so that we can still get passports is high on the list.

Some good news.

Almost every tragedy like this can be traced back to some faceless executive deciding to prioritize their bottom line over human lives.

Hi, all you wonderful folks! I'm sitting at $5/$138.63 for my insurance. I have til Friday to pay it and will have a $10 late fee added on. I can't afford to laspe insurance as a disabled gig worker & I am STRESSED. 💕💸 #HelpSky #MutualAid #DisabilityCrowdfund paypal.me/rookkilljoy C/V: foxrook

so these homeschool clonetank claremont institute guys thought "grants" was just shit that went to the Woke University Basketweaving College For Dyed Hair Bisexuals Who Won't Fuck Me and not the way that, like, 90% of government programs worked, huh

This!!!

it's just depressing as fuck that a bunch of men who have more money than they could ever spend in 20 lifetimes are willing to destroy *pretty much everything society has every accomplished and kill millions of people* in order to get more.

Today is a good day to donate to your local food bank. Be sure to check in ahead of time and ask them what they are in need of most.

One of the first, soft targets of fascist regimes is "degeneracy," including "degenerate art." It's often first in line. And after destroying that's been ushered into acceptability? They just start expanding the definition of degeneracy.

Happy 5th "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" anniversary! #Geology ⚒️

legitimately our best case scenario for the next four years is that Trump gets pushback, backs down and declares victory the more times that happens the better for everyone also it demonstrates once again the value of pushing back on absolutely everything

Every year I find Holocaust Memorial Day more hollow. We have learned sod all.

Honor is important. Look no further than the hateful antics of those who have none to see why.

It is natural to know despair in dark times, to feel dread and uncertainty. But do not immerse yourself in doom. Seek out joy and light, wherever you can find it, to keep despair from being the only feeling you have space for.

The number of times I’ve quoted this…

So fascinated by the human impulse to be like 'wow, this food sanitation practice really improved the quality and safety of food, what an amazing development, we should definitely stop doing it.'

Just a reminder that you are one person and that you are unlikely to even be able to save yourself alone if called on to do so. These are collective struggles. Do your part. No more, no less.

If you say we abandon red states, you kill a lot of dear friends of mine so fuck right off with that. We don't leave gerrymandered, vulnerable, decent people behind because of a zip code, you sanctimonious dicks.

Oh my gods, y'all, we are SO close now!! Sitting at $480/$735. Only $255/9 days left to go to keep this disabled queer housed! Thank you all so much! Thank you for giving me hope. 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ #HelpSky #MutualAid #DisabilityCrowdfund #TransCrowdfund paypal.me/rookkilljoy C/V: foxrook gofund.me/6b7d3b49

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

The Laken Riley Act is moving to the House - if it passes there, it goes to Trump for his signature. If this concerns you, please call your US rep and tell them to vote NO. You can find your rep here: www.house.gov/representati...

And just like that the cdc, fda, nih are no longer functional and we are now on our own as h5n1 nears and our food systems are further corrupted and obscured. We are well and truly being left to die as the billionaires plunder the remains of American democracy.

they’re already in shambles

Working class solidarity is the superpower billionaires fear.

I hope this helps clear up what just happened. It is short, free, and sourced.

I am not watching one single thing produced by or orchestrated by that administration. That's their propaganda. Why would I make it easy on them? Inviting everyone to join me on Jan 20th in doing one thing you love, and one thing they would hate. Joy & spite, y'all. Joy and spite.

So I just straight up can't leave the house. The extreme cold exacerbates my asthma complications/shortness of breath. I have no idea how I'm going to pay my bills with no income. I have $157 in bills that need to be paid by Wednesday. 💕💸 #HelpSky #MutualAid paypal.me/rookkilljoy C/V: foxrook

Rainbow capitalism was always hollow but it's jarring to see two decades worth of progress pushing equality wiped away in a few weeks. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
