Carbon offset trading is basically murder-for-hire.

So, residential schools. Oh, good. Those always work out so well.

Here's where you can tell the national park service that erasing trans people form the Stonewall memorial is unacceptable. Pass it on. www.nps.gov/ston/contact...

*Immediately* adds to her upcoming Venice itinerary.

The U.S. can't take over Canada! Where would we American tourists have to pretend to be from?

Here’s something easy you can do today. Block USA Today on Blue Sky. If thousands of us can do it, we can have an immediate impact on their reach on social media.

"...half the government is attacking them and the other half is treating them like a political inconvenience." This is why it hurts so bad. We're thrown under the bus by Dems too. Like we aren't human, we are to be used or ignored. Cis allies, please don't give up on us.

Bets on how long until the rest of the board resigns?

oh my god it's WOOOOOOOKE! WOOOOOOOKE!

Community note: we do not, in fact, have to support members of our community who are actively working for our destruction.

if you see this post, your actions are: - if you have a spare buck, give it to Wikipedia, then repost this - if you don't have a spare buck, just repost your action is mandatory for the world's best source of information to survive

I'm sure that David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel won't agree, but now is the time for the Democratic Party and the rest of us to double the fuck down in support for our Trans brothers and sisters.

Oh my GOD thisissofreakinggorgeous. I want one for my wall, no lie.

Every day this bunch finds a new way to piss me off. Look me in the eye and tell me how forcibly disbanding these clubs in any way enhances our force readiness or helps us to get and keep the best America has to offer in her service? Go on.

We have enough validity right now, but what cis folks CAN actually do: - Contribute to GFMs for trans care and travel (we are a very impoverished demographic!) - Help a trans person get a job - Help a trans person move - Vocally oppose anti-trans legislation (yell at reps, not random bigots online!

If you're still mad about the Library of Alexandria, here's how you can help archive (U.S.) federal websites before they all get nuked by the Ministry of Truthers: www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarde...

Somebody please set this to music.

You might as well ask why, when right-wingers try to demonize people, they always make them sound *amazing*.

Good. As a long-time EV driver myself, I've been worried about The Muskrat having a bad knock-on effect on the industry in general. It looks like they're being left behind, though. Good riddance.

Well, this explains a lot.

"Move fast and break stuff" does NOT work with countries.

La Course Interrompue JEAN qui allait a Dijon (Il montait en bicyclette) Rencontra un gros lion Qui se faisait la toilette. Voila Jean qui tombe a terre Et le lion le digère! Mon Dieu! Que c'est embêtant! Il me devait quatre francs. (orig. Hilaire Belloc, trans. by me (see below))

The words of the evening call to prayer echoed across the twilight sky. It fell over mosque and synagogue, quiet gardens where the faithful gathered and the bath-houses where infidels sought other gods. --current WIP

Hah. Cute. :)

American friends, did you know about this?

Just donated to Trans Lifeline to help our friends and family being persecuted by this new regime. IF you have some $ to spare, please consider doing likewise? Even a few bucks helps. But if not, some real LOUD support from the cis community would also be great. ❤️ link: translifeline.org/donate/

In tonight's episode of "Read the Room":

I’m not going to be silent. WHAT TO DO AT AN ICE CHECKPOINT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WHITE and/or FEEL THE NEED TO JAM UP THE WORKS Here's the deal:

Hey folks, before worm brains even enters the chamber, I am going to encourage EVERY SINGLE PERSON to get themselves and their kids, if you have them, VACCINATED. CVS has all of these vaccines available. If you're missing anything, GO THIS WEEK AND GET VACCINATED. 💉

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

"Once upon a time there was a boy named Buckley Carlson, and he almost deserved it."

Now that people are joining bluesky in large numbers I'll share this old comic of mine. I made it for Twitter, but as you can see, people over there never listened. Maybe this time... So just block, don't dunk on bigots!

So I just read about Emila Perez, and...whoof. But that's what happens when the majority population tells a minority's story. They just never get it right.

Whoo-ee! Longtime friend of the Elongated Muskrat spills literally ALL the tea: archive.ph/6WHLP
