I've seen a few "actually, a lot of dems are really good at the internet, they just aren't getting attention" please give me non-AOC, non-Bernie examples so that I can educate myself. I will say though, being good at the internet MEANS GETTING ATTENTION.

When I encounter a wheatpaste this good it stops me dead in my tracks. It makes me think I should put my whole ass into wheatpastes more often. It's such a gift to the city bc you know it took him a while. He's given this to us 1) For free 2) Knowing the city might destroy it the same or next day.

This article both freaks me the fuck out and makes me feel like a crazy person for feeling like the only person constantly screaming about it. www.cnn.com/2025/03/07/c...

The police exist to protect property, not people.

That whole "people who are suffering create better art" myth is really being debunked in real-time in my own brain over the last couple of days. Not that I ever believed it but BOY HOWDY

Its my favorite animal, the llwynog!

On my way to the first art show displaying my work, on international women’s day. Let’s Go Girls.

Had the honor of speaking at today’s @standupforscience.bsky.social rally in Philly. I spoke about the importance of breaking the right rules and harnessing chaos for the greater good.

today is Bandcamp Friday! want some new music to listen to? 😘

Note to self, the cooking cutscene in Wilds does not protect you from aggroing monsters.

Thread 1/x with info about one specific clinic case but first: Y'ALL ABORTION CLINICS NEED YOUR SUPPORT NOW MORE THAN EVER

This Saturday at Jinxed South Philly, I’m going be in the women’s history month art show! This will be my first art show and I’m prrreeettyyy stoked about it. Opening reception is 5-9 Saturday 😎

Today's additions to the science library: "What's a mollusk anyway?" mini-zine and "Mutual Aid & ism" Both by @eveninghawk.bsky.social! Thank you for sending these! They are fantastic! Do you have extra printed zines you'd like to add to the library? DM me!

Trying to get low-barrier native plant info + materials out to people in time for spring. Just placed a “Literally just plant something” seed packet distribution jar at Reanimator Coffee. People can pick up a free packet of seeds, with instructions on how to plant & a QR with detailed info.

Another world is possible and some people are living into it already.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

This is the kind of message I want to see coming into the “Do Good Shit” contact form 😎 It’s kinda giving “I heard about you from a fairy I found under a mushroom”, and I like that style of community organizing, personally.

Alriiiight learned how to print stickers using a new(ish) art printer tonight! These stickers are now up on the shop! 4x4inch for the Philadelphia version 2.5x2.5inch for the version without the QR code (therefore not Philly specific). Check 'em out, squidfacts.bigcartel.com

NEW Dildorks episode: Dating While Taken thedildorks.com/episodes/dat... Polyamorous dating can be pretty different depending on whether you’re single versus in a long-term relationship already; this week we discuss our experiences of both kinds.

“you’re so funny” thanks, I’m autistic and was bullied for not getting jokes so I read books and watched videos on neurotypical humour and body language to understand other people even though they never made the effort to do so for me!

“polyamorous people are smelly insecure degenerates who are also ruining dating by taking all the hot singles. they are too ugly for anyone to be with them, but also too hot to just be with one person” - the internet, somehow

Poly/ENM is not the answer for fixing your crappy marriage. Trust me.

WILDFIRE TRILOGY DAY!!!! MAGIC IS ALIVE!!!!!!!

Just got the first sketch for the Philly Biodiversity Zine and... oh. My God. It is so cute. 5 Philly artists are each illustrating 1 spread on different aspects of supporting biodiversity in Philly. The focus of the zine is ACTION, delivered in a bright, cute, friendly package. I'm excited.

HOOORAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Discourse: Buttercup Festival 3-318

Trying to relax on my day off 😇 😈

A really clarifying question that I think should be asked of basically every politician out there is "what do you imagine power to be and why do you want it?"

500 RSVPs

Each and every person who normalized the idea that this is a "public square" and therefore all people have an open invitation to be an ass in the replies of strangers clearly never learned how to respect anyone but themselves.

Folks, look, I don't really want to be the guy taking up the mantle on this but until this is more commonly understood I will be a little cranky about it.

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

If this were play’d upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.

Excusing Yourself xkcd.com/3057

I keep seeing the left image (BCE/CE! ahem) on my socials & this idea that premodern people "evolved" to realism/more figurative (--> "more evolved"), that it was the goal, that more complex interests or forces weren't part of all that --> Is part of white supremacy. Just here to name that today.

I really like when Tony Hawk asks kids to do a kick flip. How old do I have to be before I can go to a science conference and ask the grad students to do a squid fact.

Neutrality only ever helps the oppressor. #itsacoup #republicansarefascist
