Hey, Brian got kicked out of the Carter Library by Trump and crew. If you’re in the area or can pre-order, show some love?

Update: The White House is already backing down on this. Keep calling your reps. Keep pressuring them. Along with your reps, the white house phone number is (202) 456-1111. Use 5calls.org to get all your reps in one place along with a guide. www.nysun.com/article/whit...

Tell me about a recurring bit you do among your nearest & dearest (or one of theirs) My grad school brother-from -another-mother and I are partial to compliments-as-threats.

Max loves you. He wants you to log off Bluesky, go to bed early, and charge your phone outside of your bedroom.

As an incredibly competitive person who drives my entire self worth from measurable success it feels really strange being thrilled with 23rd place but here we are. Pre-orders are OPEN go reserve your copy!

Coke is often used as a a positive case study of an organization that did diversity right (after a bruising loss in an anti-discrimination suit). Conservatives claim to be free marketers, but by forcing companies to end anti-discrimination policies, they put bigotry over profits.

Had to look up Psalm 109:8 and that's going straight in the quote bank: "May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership."

Really hoping at some point that people realize that a man who gets called “very smart” isn’t necessarily moral, and maybe isn’t even smart.

Royal Oak Michigan Thursday Friday and Saturday five shows at @comedycastlemi . Hang out come out - let’s show everyone whatever thing im sposed to prove. jackiekashian.com and their website for tickets.

Daily bunny no.2871: "Surprise!"

I … cannot deal with this one tonight, but y’all should see it. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I need abled people to understand that breaking someone's wheelchair is like breaking your legs. Both of them. They want to get away with breaking people's legs.

A reminder that @scarleteen.bsky.social is 100% queer and trans run and will ALWAYS be providing educational materials, support, and more to youth seeking sex, relationships, and health education from a source who won't casually erase their existence with their political winds.

So here’s the deal. Harassment is escalating. This means we need to break our lease if we can or pay rent AND short term accommodations in a new place. Animals need travel docs and vet appointments that weren’t factored into initial plan. Il Douche is threatening Dept of Ed and now I’m a “threat.”

Oh boy, shit’s bad. Help, if you can. (The long story I don’t have spoons to tell is that we are going to have to leave soon and tallied up the cost of that today and we have to make it work somehow. Quickly.) gofund.me/3f468097

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.

Greta Thunberg doesn’t have my bank routing information

This is Charlie. He has literal heart-eyes. 14/10 would be an honor to pet (IG: charlie.the.dalmatian)

The only response to DOGE is "If it was really about uncovering fraud, they'd have sent in accountants and every step would be as transparent as possible."

👀 "If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." -- AUSA Hagan Scotten, SDNY.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Roses are red May our bonds never sever To take down these fascists Solidarity forever

the five love languages are cats, cakes, a stately manor home in the English countryside, teaming up to catch the murderer and putting down my book so I can talk to you.

I’m becoming increasingly interested in exploring Racial Health Inequalities in Autistic people. Does anyone know if NHS England or The Race and Health Observatory are pursuing work in this area?

Just heard NPR’s news round-up take on this. They said “Kennedy says he opposes vaccine mandates but he won’t stop people from getting one if the want.” Completely failed to mention Kennedy’s false claim vaccines have never been tested for safety, which obviously signals what he’s really going to do

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

Whew. Okay. Home stretch on this fundraiser. Looking toward the deposit for school and fees for visas. Thank you so much for getting us this far. Getting closer to answering the question of “how the heck can a disabled library worker make enough to survive”- the answer is “not here.”

People keep talking about the Gulf of Mexico, and yes, that, but goddamn I am going to call it Denali until I die and you should, too.

From a non-social media using friend who knows things: if you know any federal employees, tell them to seek an IMMEDIATE performance review from their manager and (if needed) skip level manager, and then get a SIGNED hard copy of it to keep, as well as putting it in multiple electronic locations.

People often tell me they won't call their GOP Senators or Reps "because there's no point" but Kristy is demonstrating that part of the point is that as long as you don't actively threaten them it can be very cathartic.

I have been struggling to articulate how the NEA’s grant changes make me feel & what to say about it because it feels like a moment where finding the right words is a matter of profound importance I found them in my inbox today in an email from New Harmony entitled “Our Values Are Not For Sale”

Black History Month, Public Health edition Dr. Daniel Hale William founded the first non-segregated hospital in the United States, and performed the first successful heart surgery. #blackhistorymonth

If RFK Jr is confirmed as HHS secretary, expect these headlines to become even more frequent and tragic.
