Was hoping Larissa Grieves was over here, a seriously fucking amazing Indigenous artist. If you're anywhere around East Van, their shop is open Wednesdays & Sundays 12-6. Follow the bannock signs! www.instagram.com/p/DGXSEzqxn7...

Was just checking to see if one of my local folks had an account on here, and found out the search also searches alt text! Very sweet, especially for artist info.

We're going to destroy the legacy of everyone that wants to take this from us. 🪶

Trans pals in the US: I need your help to raise awareness of what’s happening to you in your country. Many cis people don’t seem to be aware of how bad things are. I’ll be making a post on socials outlining the human rights violations so far. I want to make sure I don’t miss any. Can you help?

Get to know the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. The first time I heard one I literally thought there might be a kitten stuck in a tree. #birds 🌿🧪

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

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

Strongly recommend calling your R reps if you live in Indiana and saying "I didn't vote to defund Dolly Parton!" reps.fyi

Remember when Pence got called out at a performance of Hamilton and Kavanaugh had to leave out the back of a Morton's Steakhouse because protesters were screaming at him outside because of Roe v Wade? Let's make life unpleasant and humiliating for these motherfuckers.

The BCFED has received funding from the province to engage union members who identify as South Asian to help inform the creation of a museum or centre for Canadians of South Asian Heritage. #BCLab 🧵

We’re giving up the Royal Tyrrell Museum over my cold dead fossilized Canadian ass.

I have to admit, I kind of love this. Snark, but with bonus good deed!

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

I am SO proud of my union for putting this out. This was put forward and championed by board members who aren't queer or trans themselves, and it means the world to me.

Well shit. It seems so obvious when it's pointed out.

Timely as ever. (ALT: link to video of The Coup, Guillotine)

We're building a Minnesota where everyone—no matter our job or background—gets the care, education & good jobs we need to thrive. The rich want to use our tax $ as their personal ATM, but we’re coming together to say NOT HERE! It’s time to #TaxTheRich & #FundOurFutures! #mnleg

Look at how cool this duck is. He's such a cool dude. You know he supports his trans neighbors. He doesn't listen to right wing podcasts. He owns a killer whip(are they still called whips?) and he'll give his grandma a ride to the store in it He's not afraid to tell his friends he loves them. 🪶

"The whole country changed with only a handful of raggedy-ass pilgrims that came over here in the 1500s. And it can take a handful of raggedy-ass Indians to do the same, and I intend to be one of those raggedy-ass Indians." - Annie Mae Aquash.

I don't get personal on main very often, but I spent a few hours writing this, and I want you to read it. It's about my dad and my stepmom, and me, and Stranger Things, and what's happening to the VA right now. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-dep...

I got an email this morning from a couple named Eric and Joanna Reuter who found a snake in their basement. They used one of my comics to help determine that it was a North American Racer and not a more common ratsnake. The photos are so, so cute

In 1969, newly elected president Richard Nixon resolved to defund PBS and use the money to wage war in Vietnam. Fred Rogers was summoned to testify before Congress, and what he said that day changed the course of history. A thread:
