On this day in 2022, 10 Black lives were stolen in a racially motivated mass shooting at Tops Supermarket in Buffalo. We remember them, honor their names, and stand with a community still healing from hate-fueled violence. Justice means never forgetting. 🕊️

I just caught a Nacreous Cloud! Cascade Foothills. 🧡

Good Morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris and Good Morning to y’all only!!

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

disgusting

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

You can't call yourself INDUSTRIAL either and be a bigot!

WHO DID THIS!

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

Luigi Mangione made an awkward and ill-advised gesture toward a CEO

Banning the FDA from sending out food recall notices is a clear sign you want more people to die. www.axios.com/2025/01/22/t...

Proud Boys rioted on my street in 2021 and the Portland Police did eff all about it. We now have a president who pardoned + sanctions this behavior and has made these chuds his private paramilitary force. So now cops no longer have to be covert about shaking hands w/ hate groups.

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Trump 2.0 is already unraveling: ✅ D.C. hotels not full for inauguration ✅ Politico reporting GOP's nervous about being able to pass the 🍊 agenda ✅ Biden pardons put Comer in a pickle ✅ Vivek is out at DOGE ✅ ICE cancels their invasion of Chicago ✅ Trumpers are pissed about his crypto scam

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

Because of course they are. Returning to $400 for less than a month's supply of insulin is going to kill people. It did in the past. It will again.

Annnnd there it is. There’s the scam. Just FYI, we won’t use TikTok if Trump, Musk, Bezos, or Zuck have anything to do with its ownership. Hope that helps 👍

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

I saved this on TikTok right before it went dark. Now I’m bringing it to Bluesky ❤️

Public libraries are cool and badass

If you oscillate between cautious stuttering optimism and "we're all so totally effed", I'm right there with you. We were not meant to process this constant deluge of horrors. It's enough to make anyone's light flicker momentarily. Lean into your power, draw strength from community.

Can we make libraries and bookstores the place to be again? Even if to read digitally. They should be up there with getting groceries, exercising, house cleaning, and gym. Schedule self-exploration time at your local library and bookstores. #booksky #librariesfirst #reading #selfdiscovery
