I wish I could make it to Nebraska for this! This is one of the amazing projects facilitated through the work we are doing on the Walking in the Footsteps of Our Ancestors Project. #LandBack

My husband got laid off from his job (his company got bought out by a bigger one; tale as old as time). Anyway, today was his last day. 😢 If anyone has any leads on tech, legal, comics, book, etc editing jobs, LMK. He's got great experience & is v. good at what he does. A bargain at twice the price!

On April 22nd, critically-acclaimed drag artist Pattie Gonia is bringing SAVE HER!, a drag show all about climate change and solutions to First Avenue. The show features a cast of drag kings and queens including VERA!, Sequoia, Nini Coco, Jacob Ostler + local drag performers.

Time to eat the rich.

How do you square this in your mind if you are John Lithgow? Oh, NM. It's the money and the grasping for a return to some sort of relevance. Amazing how cheaply some people sell their souls.

Sometimes people are not bad writers, but you know w/all your soul they are the *wrong* writer for a beloved franchise & it makes you very sad. 🥺 (This is not even a first world problem, but we've had a tough few weeks personally & this just feels like the universe being unnecessarily spiteful.)

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

Deleting websites is the modern day version of book burning. #Don'tLookAway

Okay yes! It seems the Countess ebook is $3.99 in the US Kobo store. That's the cheapest I've seen!

You love to see it.

rep jasmine crockett perfectly illustrates how so many of us feel

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Important for all of us but especially journalists.

There are some beautiful pieces in here, earrings and pins and keychains and more, and things priced as low as $5 is a steal! I love all of the #lgbtqia pride designs in here. 🏳️‍🌈 #jewelry #handmade

It’s not deporting, if you’re sending citizens to another country. It’s human trafficking. In this case, it’s also slave labor. You’re talking about an administration selling US citizens into slave labor.

Rotterdam researchers followed 299 COVID-19 survivors for 3 years and found that only 24% fully recovered. Fatigue and memory issues worsened in year three. Post-exertional malaise affected 36%, marking a more severe long COVID subtype. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Diversity didn’t crash the stock market. Equity didn’t crash the stock market. Inclusion didn’t crash the stock market. Immigrants didn’t crash the stock market. Trans people didn’t crash the stock market.

Never washing this stain off our hands

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

what a visual

TFW you get instant lip plumping by eating something you didn't realize you were allergic to. 👄😱

incredible news everyone hurricane season has been upgraded to hard mode because a handful of people we all should've torn limb from limb in the streets ages ago decided knowing when severe weather might kill you is a waste of money they could keep for themselves.

Science Fiction is when you call it Terra, Fantasy is when you call it Gaia

Wonderful conversation with @sgj.bsky.social. So cool hearing about his reading life growing up. Lots of #GenX familiarity where influencers were found in family (often that uncle), in line at the grocery store, on a spinner rack, at the library, on a playground. megaphone.link/RNMG3601744805

Ray Little Weasel has walked on. 😢

I loved working with Small Wonders. Poets, do the thing!

Yesterday, the U of Minnesota deleted the American Indian Studies’ statement on Palestine. (Also deleted was a story about Leonard Peltier’s return home and five other dept statements on Palestine.) Our expertise matters if we don’t oppose genocide. web.archive.org/web/20250322...

I am ecstatic to announce the OFFICIAL crowdfunding launch of our speculative BIPOC anthology, Amorphaville—a collection of poetry & flash fiction from 20+ BIPOC writers examining the fluidity of time. Campaign is linked in my bio. We hope you’ll join us in supporting BIPOC art! 🚀 #WritingCommunity

This video is for all US citizens who are currently overwhelmed by Trump's more than 200 executive orders. THIS should be retweeted to the MAX. I never saw a more helpful video. (It's about two minutes long. It's worth a lot.)

Scoop from @jewishcurrents.bsky.social: The ADL is dropping its anti-bias training, and also "deleted lesson plans on topics such as transgender identity, white privilege, school integration, and the impact of boarding schools on Native Americans." Very clear the org is going hard right.

The San Carlos Apache tribe is offering a $75,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the people responsible for killing Apache teenager Emily Pike. Nationally, there are 4,200 unsolved cases of missing and murdered Indigenous people.

I appreciate that this article addresses the ways this EO is a direct attack on Indigenous language work. Our languages are at the heart of our ways of living. All of them are at risk. Attacks on them are acts of genocide.
