Do one thing every day to make the world a worse place for evil people.

You've made it through January, congrats! Hope you're having a relaxing weekend 💚 #illustration #watercolor #art #fantasyart #moss

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC. There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA. Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

🦉 Happy Twin Peaks Day to all that celebrate 🦉

"A few weeks ago, a friend sent me a screenshot...I was shocked to learn that I am one of more than 65,000 people in North Carolina whose vote Republican are attempting to undermine." Read more about North Carolina Republicans' attempts to throw out college students' votes ⤵️

Why some Starbucks locations are switching from plastic to paper cups. Green groups say it’s a “clear admission” that the plastic ones aren’t recyclable. grist.org/accountabili... #Plastic #Recycle #Climate #Starbucks

About yesterday, after chores

Happy Sunday, and more of this please. Community is so important youtu.be/3JvkaUvB-ec?...

🔥 NEW YORK: “The red line has been crossed. They’re not playing by the rules. We have to the gloves off.” Big ovation at an @RepPaulTonko town hall as a teacher encourages him to push back even harder, even get arrested to stop the Trump/Musk rampage. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGVuDVe...

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Please more art, and less of that addled brain, go for the ones puppeteering his pen, for P2025. Definitely more art, resistance, & protest, in any ways we can. WE are still here with each other, being othered. We are more than they are, smarter, & kinder, & that matters. youtu.be/QFBJ8a1cjM8?...

So…a residential school

Times are bleak, it’s true. But people are still out here doing incredible work now, when it matters most. Activists in KY bought land slated for a new prison, and will now fill it with native plants and use it as an intertribal gathering location. 🌱🌎🧪🌿

This is also what I've always said about "buying" films digitally on Amazon. You're not actually buying them. You're buying access to them for as long as Amazon chooses to keep the file available.

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

This is an administration led by people who view numerous other people here and abroad as human dirt. That’s it. An objective analysis of the matter

19th century French writer Honore de Balzac said it best " Behind every fortune,first ,there is a crime"

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

like, this is just fucking insane. the government is pretending that it passed the Inverse Civil Rights Act overnight and everyone is acting like it's a real law.

Last night’s ArrrOOOOOooo was much better than the night before.

Republicans just don't want to learn the lessons of history.

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

AaarrROO-?

Today in cat toy astrology. A challenging reading to be sure. The lamb, reversed: check on a friend in need. Blue fish swimming downstream: you experience obstacles and must not waste energy unless necessary. The second lamb crossing your path: a friend stands in your way - protection or barrier?

The ducky never saw it coming. #cats #BlueskyCats #photography

Good morning! Once, I thought this was possible, but clearly, they want anyone not like them dead, so that it. youtu.be/MzGnX-MbYE4?...

Uhm, what now? Private security in a federal building? Excuse me, but where the fuck are the Capitol Police with our elected officials removing these assholes? @wyden.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social

NEW: I just met @georgetakei.bsky.social and he has a very important message for everyone:

The only reason passports include sex markers AT ALL was because of a previous moral panic over gender.

Today marks 2 years since I lost my foundation. I miss Papa every day.

Yawnt - southern (esp my late mother and her sisters) for do you want. Asking teen who recently rolled out of their room, if they wanted some grits this morning, I hear my mother and the rest coming out of my mouth.

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would see people begging a sitting congressman to physically break into the Department of Education to stop it from being looted by fascists. But here we are. And I do not know how to feel about it.

Dear God this is so true. They are definitely not - and often it's the women and minorities who get stuck cleaning up their broken code after them

Dr. Patricia Bath invented laserphaco, a device and technique to remove cataracts. It performed all steps of cataract removal: making the incision, destroying the lens and vacuuming out the fractured pieces. Dr. Bath is the first Black woman physician to receive a medical patent. #BlackHistoryMonth

New overnight: A judge temporarily blocked Elon Musk’s DOGE team access to some Treasury Department information after a group of 19 states sued Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for allowing it, pending hearing next week www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
