Ever wonder what -36 degrees (F) looks like in interior Alaska?! This frozen rainbow is formed when strong winds pick up and carry ice particles through the air and reflects the sun’s light much like water would create a regular rainbow. #Alaska #photography #winter #landscape

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

The florist I use for my mom called to tell me he was giving me a free upgrade. He said “I don’t care about money anymore. I only care about beauty.” If your resistance movement needs a slogan, that’s a pretty good one.

Not Saeed's main point, but I wonder how much of U.S. cultural resistance to doing the reading/homework and getting smarter in general (note: not resistance to good grades—those are 2 diff. things) is a response to the pain it brings. Humans have done some bad things, and it hurts to learn about it.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

People talk about how social media has accelerated misinformation and that’s true, but social media at its core is about marketing and aesthetic. Especially image-based media. Reality doesn’t matter as much as the simulacrum/the idea of it and that is very much a core tenet of fascism.

Something that’s been keeping me going during what has been a hard year, is a cat named Todd who uses buttons to talk with his person. There is someone genuinely healing about watching the patience and love it takes to understand and be understood. Also, Todd is very cute. youtu.be/Yp3td0-KxPg?...

Hello everyone! I’m not sure how this account will evolve, but I’m an aspiring writer and maker. My hobbies include metal work (welding, forging, jewelry), hiking, and photography. I have a BA in neuroscience, but have never used it. I love understanding people. Every person is their own universe.

Today, I translated four poems by Sophia Parnok, an out, horny Russian lesbian poet who lived and loved through a revolution, a civil war, and the rise of a repressive dictator. In style. buttondown.com/theswordandt...

I believe in love. Love is powerful. Love is healing. But there are a lot of other things that we do to each other that masquerade as love. They take up a lot of space and energy. And we only find out that it's not love after we are destroyed.
