If it's not fully setting in how ominous this is, try reading it this way:

My muscles hurt from making more muscles 💪 😅🥲 It’s always the second day it starts to feel sore and I really pushed myself last time.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

if you make everything one word in the text field it seems to softcap at the equivalent of about 2058 single spaced pages of “TransRightsAreHumanRights” fyi i…figured it out

Ugh living in a small city of AVL, I try to use dating apps and there aren’t all that many people here - at least interesting people I could date. Aside from all the normal BS that is the dating app world. I need to try to meet people IRL but that means going out more than I would like.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

i think we should replace “how are you?” with “hey things are generally bad, how are you personally?” just to make things easier on everyone trying to answer in a way that doesn’t initially seem like you’re either delusional or complicit

Just finished The Expanse, what a great show…. But now I don’t have anything to watch while I’m doing other stuff lol

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

This video kicks ass: youtu.be/o2jzKo1RqWU?...

Those who imagine it is possible to wait out the Trump administration are naïve. Trump seeks autocratic power. He won't be satisfied with minor concessions. He will take everything he can. Learn a lesson from anarchist organizing. The first compromise is the last one. crimethinc.com/eightsteps

Very proud of my new collection ☺️ I sewed my heart out on this one www.divinoir.com #sewsky #sewing #garmentsewing #fashiondesign #altfashion #handmade #bespoke #darkfashion

One of the best Valentine’s I got yesterday, when I got here I was told this guy does not warm up to masc folks but here is a photo of him in my lap looking up at me.

Fed goons removing the T & Q from the LGBTQ at Stonewall should make you more angry than it makes you sad. Rage for those killed by this government during the AIDS crisis. Rage for all of us who have to live fraught lives just for being ourselves. Not just sadness, rage. This was done to us.

Performing at the Ice Palace in Minnesota tonight, looking forward to fireworks and fire spinning in the snow. #fireandice #icepalacemn #icepalace #valentinesday

Learning new platforms is annoying, but I guarantee you it is worth it because you don't want to depend on any single one of these apps/sites. It's inevitable that they will try and shut down one thing or the other but if we are flexible, we can stay a step ahead. Digital ungovernability, y'all-

✨️🖤✨️

I think what's being done to trans people in this country is a FUCKING SCANDAL. It's absolutely an attempt at eradicating trans people from public life and ALL OF US must refuse this. Everyone. Stop being a loser mealy mouth person. This is bullshit. You should say so in all the places you inhabit.

Y’all setting up the mutuals feed is good, I even set that as the default feed and I see what my connections post first. Assuming we both follow each other. Nice customization here. No privacy controls but we’ll keep focused on other apps for that I suppose.

Well it worked. Pixelfed just finished a bit of crowdfunding that looks like it should help developing the platform at least. Good Insta replacement if you’re looking. Privacy controls: yes indeed. Had to jump through some hoops to get posting to both. That’ll get easier.

Attempting to post to both Bluesky and pixelfed at the same time This came out of a piece from decades ago, exploring what the bhupur gates would look like if instead of four sided 2d object it was a four sided 3d o bject this is a sample I masked a bunch of the art piece because it’s not ready

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

It has been here though. When you jail water protectors, militarize local police forces, put migrants in camps (yes even Obama is complicit), and deny people’s votes this is fascism.

Friend I’m staying with got out her dip pen and nibs for me to try. We had to stop by an art store for ink, but we did that today so I could try it out before I flew home this upcoming afternoon. I really like how this writes… I guess I gotta get my own lol

Happy to see a small amount of my friends posting here. I’m looking at other platforms here and there to sample what’s out there. Still trying to understand what the Fediverse all these apps are on is. Still avoiding Meta.

Thinking about this panel from a comic I wrote back in 2018, crossing the ruins of a US-Canada border wall, in a “distant” future.

Tonight’s makeup for our Fire and ice shows. I only have blue contacts so I’m sticking with ice every night. Next year if I can come back I’ll make sure to have both. Trying to do it differently every night anyways. Did more blending on this one #icepalacemn

I’m not gonna discourage anyone from contacting their reps, but if that’s your main act of “resistance” I suggest you also pick a thing to incorporate into your routine that doesn’t involve the electoral system.
