Posting my embroidery so people can find me... 🐯 #embroidery #handembroidery

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Because you are sucking up to the owner of your newspaper?

A fun fact too few people are aware of is that there is actually not a single intellectual in Silicon Valley

I appreciate that my therapist’s attitude now is “things are completely out of control, inhumane, and in a state of collapse and if you are reacting in a way that demonstrates that you understand the gravity, that is the most normal reaction of all.”

hope is important, but "people survived worse" is really not super helpful. people often did not survive regimes like this. some people have already died; more are in the process of dying because of what trump and musk are doing.

For those of you desperately in need of distraction from today's headlines, here's a photo of a bunny & a chick who are friends.

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

Comprehension kicks y’all’s ass lol

Proof-of-concept cels for the Takahata/Miyazaki series Pippi Longstocking (unreleased) These mock-ups reveal how the Pippi anime might have looked -- if it hadn't been canceled in the early '70s

Speaking of Kanye stop infantilizing his wife. This is how white women get away with shit. She knew what she was doing.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

If you are posting here that I need to fight harder, I think you've lost the plot. But good luck to you!

Happy Black History Month.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Costco - the only company to publicly come out in support of Diversity initiatives despite pressure from the GOP and they just raised the pay for their workers. Stop shopping at Target. Costco to raise hourly pay for most US store workers to over $30 www.reuters.com/business/ret...

it’s going to be the best day in decades when he dies

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

You're right, you're not your ancestors, because your ancestors wouldn't be making excuses for this bullshit.

Me, at the store watching them bitches complain about $8 eggs and $30 chicken.

Interviewer: “so what’s this gap in your resume?” “Oh, those were the years when they weren’t hiring Black people.”
