I've been using facebook as a means of giving pep talks to the older and less-online people in my life, because the doomerism is strong over there and it hurts to see. I linked this the other day and at least a few people found it useful. Maybe you will too:

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Reposting with alt text: I did this just now and it worked.

I feel like I need to tap the sign cause I keep seeing people trying to "dunk" on hateful peeps on my feed. This ISN'T TWITTER. Please don't make it into it.

ITS SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY This is a very important message you should share with the people in your life that may be hitting the streets to protest: never talk to the police! WATCH:

"would you please put that in writing" is how you pull off insubordination without actually being insubordinate. Very useful when you are getting sketchy (whatever 'sketchy' might mean) instructions from someone who might not want to take responsibility for it later. signed, a former union steward.

watch out for this! for folks who don't know: - windows+R opens the run window which lets you run any program - ctrl+V pastes so this puts some malicious command on your clipboard, then convinces you to run it yourself. don't.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

1. Exercise. Seriously, do it. You will REGRET not doing it. 2. Use sunscreen every day. Even in winter. 3. Be nice to people. Online as well. 4. Be kind to yourself. Aways. 5. Learn to cook at least 5 basic nutritious meals that are chep and easy to make fast. 6. Sleep 8 hours for god's sake.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

There are some fake fan trailers for Frankenstein in Youtube. There is AI and recycled stuff from other films. Not our film. Sorry—We will not release any trailers or teasers until Summer or so.

For everyone struggling, I can't recommend this resource highly enough. Everything is given freely, there is no selling/trading allowed. I've gotten everything from food, pet supplies, furniture (and given a lot of similar) I see a lot of folks sharing clothing + baby supplies buynothingproject.org

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them. Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

hey yall. there is an app called 5 Calls: Contact Your Congress where you plug in your (or any) US zip code, and it gives you local reps’ contact info. i know it’s been a lot of “call ur reps call ur reps” lately, but the OPM stuff is genuinely the scariest yet, and more than ever we should do so*

Can confirm, this app is a literal lifesaver. If you live in SoCal or other nearby fire prone states it should be mandatory that this be on your phone.

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me: the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

Here’s the switchboard number for the House 202-225-3121 and the Senate 202-224-3121. You don’t need to make a speech. Just tell your reps yes or no on a particular vote. It’s that simple. They DO keep tallies, but they can’t read your minds. Calling & writing is like voting. Get in the habit.

i haven't used FB in over a decade. i keep the messenger cuz it's the only way to stay in touch with my mother without giving her my other socials. despite this, FB knew what i'd been doing this week anyway, to the point of knowing an app i use only on my phone, where i FB was never installed. +

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

Remember that fascists want you to feel hopeless and helpless. We are neither. Continue to be a pain in their fucking ass, even if that just means refusing to go away.

Today and in the coming days, remember

You are not immune to propaganda. #art

found on r/me_irlgbt, seemed relevant. stay strong. i love you all.

If you can do nothing else, please help share this so that it may reach eyes who are better equipped to help in the times to come. Trans rights are human rights.

anyway

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

🔊 PSA for nondisabled people 🔊 It's time to step the FUCK up if you wanna be an ally. ASL interpretation is being targeted by right wing cry baby douchebags. Shut this shit down when you see it. SPEAK UP. This barrage of ASL hate is heavier than usual.

Alphys says Happy New Year! I know the year will be good, because you all are here. Be kind to yourself and others this year!

it's that time

you have to #art #ffxiv

I know the world kinda sucks but my good friend beat breast cancer and we got to hang out for the first time in ages so hooray. :)

If you're a white cis guy struggling to think of how you can help, this right here is EXTREMELY powerful Shut down weird shit your friends/coworkers say. Be brave enough to do it. This has so much more power than you can fathom trust me

You are allowed to celebrate good things that are happening today: your birthday, a book coming out, new baby, new puppy, seeing your favorite piece of art in person, etc. Joy is the knife that stabs into the heart of despair & apathy. Feel your joys, big & small, & share them widely & loudly.

Please remember to take care of yourself in the coming years.. Keep creating, sharing, supporting each other even when you feel like you can't, exist for yourself in any way that you can.. Give yourself a little treat sometimes for getting through it, it isn't forever

Don't mind me just finding solace in Super Sentai

Welcome to everyone coming over from the other place. This feed is still primarily for promotions as I juggle a million + 1 things offline. Be good to yourselves. Be good to each other. Protect yourselves and those in need in the years to come. Cheers, Ian

CANADIAN PSA Some of the most prominent right wing talking heads in the USA are Canadian. Russia was funding Tenet media which is a CANADIAN company. Right wing folks in our parliament talk to them. BC just had a narrow election, alberta is rolling back LGBTQIA+ rights. Its happening here too

I posted this in 2016 and I'll share it again.

Casual reminder: It’s far more productive to starve the incoming Trumpers of engagement than to quote dunk etc. Starve them. It sends a far more powerful message.

Outlive the people who hate your existence

you survived the last one. you have to survive this one, too. the next generation of POC people, queer people, immigrants, women, Palestinians, etc need you to survive so that you can pass on everything you've felt and experienced. it's the only way we can prevent this from happening again.

If you’re sober and wobbling right now: get to a meeting, call your sponsor, tell a trusted friend what’s happening in your brain and body. Losing your hard-earned sobriety over these facist assholes is NOT worth it. YOU are worth it.
