Got to interview him at a convention a few years ago. My biggest take away? He is bombastic, funny, kind, and whatever cologne he wears makes him smell like an angels fart (complementary).

🦬 1) Stop doom-scrolling. 2) Take three deep breaths. 3) Read this article about our friends from the Blackfeet Nation gifting bison to Mosquito-Grizzly Bear's Head-Lean Man First Nation in Saskatchewan. Canada and First Nations, we still ❤️ you even if our treasonous president doesn't. 🇨🇦

GOOD I LIKE THIS! For YEARS I've seen Ds defer way too much to collegiality and NOT tell folks to call their R reps. So I LIKE THIS. Call your R reps and tell them to leave Medicaid the hell alone. Find 'em here: reps.fyi

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

Hey, looking for an indie comic series that has a "totally unprepared but I'm fighting a dystopian regime now" vibe to it? My wife, my friend Havana, and I have been making that comic for 10 years now. You can read it for free online! KamikazeAnimated.com

I’m writing a new picturebook script and I’ve been stuck on something for the longest time… until I read this! I’ve since unleashed my inner lousy elf and they’ve done such a great bad job that everything finally clicked when cleaning it up!!

I'm dying. Ive lost 50 lbs in 3 mos. I have an excruciating abscess & Im about to be gentrified out of my home. Folks talk a big game about supporting trans folks, fighting fascism, community, & we protect us, but time & time again I see trans folks completely ignored when we ask help. HELP ME!?

This afternoon's activity: watching videos from an ADHD coach and crying when she says things like "you MUST define what a successful goal looks like, and then LET YOURSELF FEEL AND ACKNOWLEDGE WHEN YOU SUCCEED and not just change the goalposts, bc thats literally HOW YOU MAKE THE DOPAMINE YOU NEED"

With the demise of Joann’s, there’s lots of recs of WHERE to shop online for fabric but not HOW. I highly rec The Swatch Book and Textilepedia for this — the former with REAL swatches of common fibers and their weave options and the latter for the language and application options to help search.

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

@mythjae.bsky.social you're not crazy for being nervous about flying rn. Trains are great! Be mindful if you're going anywhere south of DC tho. All the train lines are privately owned, and any passenger trains have to stop and pull over for commercial rigs. This can cause a LOT of delays.

Something you can do to stand against RFK jr’s attempt to make us all sicker is wear a mask when you share air with others. Resist mask bans. People who cannot afford to get sick have a right to exist in public. Masking will protect your health from him too.

If you're in one of these states, please badger your AG. It's surprising how few constituent phone calls it takes for them to feel pressured. And this suit needs to die before it kills disabled people.

my bellwether character for how bad it will get is Superman. There was a really good thread here about how the core argument of the maga movement is to not even pay lip service to a single non selfish act and any help to others is you being a sucker. How they approach Superman will be fascinating

This is why we need more active and younger progressive leaders! If you dont like this, please consider running for local elections in your area. Note: I realize note everyone has the funds or ability to do this. So encourage those you know who can
