This is so real. I've been figuring out things like clothing styles, color schemes, and jewelry prevalence as well as other styles based on my magic building, in which lots of mundane objects are imbued with it and used and seen commonly. Pottery and glassmaking are really important, too.

Happy gars 🐟

This doesn't even mention the Wayback Machine, which has been essential for my academic and recreational research. Neither is it to mention even earlier media, which is often only hosted and easily accessible on the Archive. Do not let it be destroyed. None of us understand how much will be lost.

Fuck Harry Potter. Go read my books When the Earth Was Green and The Last Days of the Dinosaurs. I’m a trans lady who writes prehistoric nature walks about disaster and resilience, how plants and animals shape each other, the hope seeds encapsulate, how community is more important than dominance.

Sales of these have definitely slowed now from the initial rush. Still another 60 or so to break even on what I spent to create them but I'm sure we'll get there eventually!

You ever know someone who comes out as trans, and just blossom as a person? It should be met with celebration. That a handful of rich bastards have made it their goal in life to make trans people out to be monsters, they really wanna snuff out something beautiful, they're robbing everyone of this.

Been seeing more people perpetuate the lie that all Palestinians on here are spammers, so once again let me remind you that folks like @mommunism.bsky.social have made it really easy to learn more about fundraisers ⬇️

Hey y'all, boosting this GoFundMe. If you can donate, awesome. If not, please share. I know a lot of people are asking for help, and a lot of us on here have our own struggles, so if you can't right now, that's okay. But we're all in this together. Anything we can do is good. gofund.me/f70c0dd7

Very happy to see members of the scientific community come out to oppose the misrepresentation of biology by politicians and others with transphobic aims. If you are a scientist, healthcare professional, or anyone with relevant experience, please consider reading & signing.

Unlawful grant terminations are harming young scientists and threatening innovation. ASCB joins leaders calling for immediate funding restoration. www.ascb.org/society-news...

Standing up to them works! Capitulation does not!

90K Veterans with VA loans now have worse modification/refinancing options than if they hadn’t ever gone through the Department of Veterans Affairs at all. Republicans are cutting veteran’s services - including their housing - to pay for a birthday parade for Trump and tax cuts for billionaires.

Germany entering its “F- you I won’t do what ya tell me” Rage Against the Machine era on main. Good.

This. Is. Fucking. Fascism. Call your reps and speak up while you're still free to do so.

The Israeli authorities have illegally banned all aid and goods into Gaza for two months. This constitutes a genocidal act, a blatant form of unlawful collective punishment, and the war crime of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.

This, 100% this. Think of how many trans people didn't even KNOW being trans was a thing until late in life! Even without the knowledge of transness we do not cease to be trans, we simply live with no name for that part of us society wants to crush.

Today I was part of a small local roadside protest. Felt good, got some honks and thumbs ups and waves. Met a few people and got a sign for next time! Right now I'm chilling while watching a stream from Mercury Stardust trying to raise funds for HRT. Join if you can! www.youtube.com/live/LI5_VLO...

I've got more work to do, more futzing with some ideas and scenes, but it feels good to drop all the Tyrant Lizard Queen chapters in place and see it's a book. The motion is there, the rhythm is there. Embellishments and detail will finish this last push, but the story's got lovely flesh on it now 🦖

I'm five sales away from making back half of what it cost to make these. Still a long way off being in profit but this is much closer than I expected to be already. Thank you!

Bird photography tips, an oldie that is hopefully useful for spring migration right now.

God's sakes, why is there something every day? Yeah, no. I want the FDA to be more responsible not less??? What is this? As others said what the hell are we paying taxes for when they're dismantling everything?

oh my god i think i’m going to cry

If you've already bought one of these, it's now officially on its way! I just dropped off a little bundle of packages at my local post box

Every day I miss the reality that could have been if he had lost. It wouldn't have been perfect, but at least every day wouldn't feel like a nightmare every time I look at what's going on.

I've had too many friends lately looking back over their canceled grants trying to figure out what they did wrong. But of course they did nothing wrong. It's so fucking bleak.

I worked for the federal election in 2019 and let me tell you: if you're a Canadian citizen there is almost no situation in which you show up and they don't let you vote. Go vote!!!!

No mater what the poll predictions say, you still need to vote to make things happen. Go do the thing, Canucks 🍁

My favorites. I can’t wait until the red and purple flowers start opening, too.

Much love for Filipinx comrades and community impacted by horrific violence during Lapu-Lapu Day celebrations. For ppl seeking support such as meal train or counseling, you can access resources thru Filipinx-led mutual aid network coming together. Share widely: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.
