Just called my Senators and Representative. Still hard for me to do (I get tongue tied because of the scripts, even though I put them in my own words). But I still call them! I use the 5 Calls app & website, which makes it easier. Today I added my own ask that they vocally support vaccines, 1/2

Celeste has helped all of us so much with scripts for what to say and when to call about issues. She needs help now if you’re able to do so.

Hi, lovelies. If you're itching to learn more about the graphic novel space, I'm teaching a class on the topic with @writersloftma.bsky.social on March 26! We'd love to see you there. (Bring creating materials. We'll have activities!)

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

He did it. He really did. He said “I bought the Washington Post and now it is my personal livejournal and anyone who doesn’t want to write entries for my personal livejournal should gtfo”

This is unconscionable and evil. Any of those 735 billionaires with a conscience should speak out against this (and everyone else should too, including those corporations set to profit off of these cuts and deaths).

I mean, no kidding it's a conflict of interest. Listen. I know it feels futile calling your reps right now, but I promise it's moving the needle. KEEP. CALLING.

I've been struggling with how to make art waves at news. Making this painting was cathartic. Scroll thru pics to see why it's called Gulf of MexiCAT. Stripes of vertical flowers & colors represent Mexican flag. How are you keeping creative? #painting #cats #acrylic #flowers #art #creativity

Lots of folks are feeling overwhelmed and scared right now and say they don’t know what to do. Wear your masks, y’all. It’s one of the easiest, radical anti-fascist acts you can do.

This is sad, but not surprising. Wish the audience had been wearing masks and everyone when they weren’t performing.

After I had to explain that becoming a federal food safety inspector requires education and on the job training, it became incredibly clear that people have no idea how much time federal employees spend preventing mass deaths

Before @chriswarcraft.bsky.social was arrested, he said this—& more—about the library's proposed MAGA plaque: "MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy, and, most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is."

This is a good idea. Would love to see the Dem governors do this. Could add Rep govs who want to join the fight in the future if there are any.

Now you can rename the Gulf of MEXICO too! Or just keep it as the Gulf of Mexico, because that's what it is and we can't go around renaming bodies of water due to the whims of an insecure @%&*?>!
