This is absolutely devastating. ACAB. Regardless of what it says on their vests. Fascists, one and all.

Celebrate Mother’s Day by letting people choose whether or not to be mothers.

people are inclined to throw out a “fuck texas” every time they do shit like this & you should not do that for many reasons focused on actual human texans. but if that’s not enough for you, know that TX is the testing ground for whatever the federal GOP will try next. this is a big one & dangerous.

Today was bright and warm and the sun had an intensity that reminded me of the Alabama coastline and the Gulf of Mexico. Featured Art: Impressions of an Estuary 01

an excellent thread for those who don’t know what was actually happening here. certainly worth reflecting upon given multiple executive orders about “gender ideology” & schoolboard book bans & florida bookstores having lgbtq books pulled off the shelves as obscenity.

And Don’t Forget The Pentagon Has Failed Its Last 7 Audits….

Cordelia Cupp / Benoit Blanc team-up when My wife says "they would be stepping all over each other" to which I say "delicious" And also they would be locked in together

All Of This….

the deal Republicans made was “we form a cult around the worst person alive and in exchange we get to be in charge and indulge all our worst impulses even though we find him personally unpleasant” and, being Republicans, most of them made it happily and their private complaints are irrelevant

Make it a month-long event and make their year!📖📚📗

The taxation of trade routes is in dispute and turmoil has engulfed our Republic. But there is a new hope. We must band together and resist the dark side. Do or do not. There is no try. #StarWarsDay

Y'all, I get too many requests to elevate campaigns from Gaza to possibly share them all, but I do want to encourage you to pick one and donate a few bucks if you can today. They are literally being starved. It's so dire.

*very much not dunking on daniel* and i could be missing something but this may not be aimed at individuals (yet!). it’s still shitty. 867 is proposed as an amendment to the anti boycott act of 2018 (HR 1697), which itself amended import/export acts from 1979 & 1945. i just went for a long dive.🧵

Lax environmental regulations equate to a poisoned Earth 🤢🌎

The lone long-lost MingKwai typewriter, invented by Lin Yutang in 1947, has resurfaced in a NY basement. How did it get there? Where might it go next? The journey of the groundbreaking invention embodies the search for modernity and Chinese identity. My latest: madeinchinajournal.com/2025/05/02/l...

I don't know why in recent years I have shied away from the sun and it's warmth, but today I embraced it and it felt SO good. Took advantage of the warmth and being in a good enough head space to wash all my syrup buckets and the dog. Then I sat outside in the sun while the dog dried off.

No mask policy at the Kennedy Center. It's just a place where you can view culture that fits Trump's trash aesthetic while catching COVID now. Well, national centers to celebrate the arts are nice while they last.

I would love to get back to a mental place and have time to create new DnD stories to be played with my kids and friends. Sadly I cant even track one of those quick play tri-fold scenarios you get on end caps at the game store.

This is so fucking funny.

Seen in an Amsterdam shop window: I am not familiar with this Belgian beer, and clearly will have to seek it out.

Such a wonderful way to remember the wild life of a wonderful person.

if we manage to not elect Damp JD Vance, I promise to get a decaffedepresso tattoo.

Curiosity, Creativity, Connection For me each of these leads to the other. They exist in a harmonious fashion inside me, each amplified by the other, strengthened by the other. They are so much of who I am that I do not exist without them.

Most of my life i have seen stories about "lost" episodes or footage being found. Most of this should have been digitized but even as a degrading medium this is invaluable art being thrown out. I have no knowledge of who ran the archive or why it is being shut down.

Okay so yes, technically, the universe is currently dominated by an invisible mysterious something which will probably destroy it in the very distant future, and new data suggests it might be changing in confusing ways, but on the bright side, the physicists have a LOT of cool new ideas to work with

I heard stories about how during Jim crow, random white men would show up and claim to be law enforcement and drag Black men off. Been thinking about that a lot lately

If you are a marginalized author writing books about characters from marginalized groups. I need you to know that it may look hopeless right now, but your books are needed now more than ever.

“Some officials say U.S. citizens who criticize administration policies could be charged with crimes, based on the notion that they're aiding terrorists and criminals.”

“13-year-old Naiara Tamminga BRINGS THE HOUSE DOWN with a speech in front of a city commission board in Grand Rapids, Michigan to call out local officials for the mishandling of Patrick Lyoya's death...” @dreamforamerica.bsky.social

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left. YALL, THE TITLE!!
