I am really dismayed at how many animal welfare accounts I see regularly using AI generated images. It's really cool to see orgs like @woodstocksanctuary.bsky.social taking a public position against it. 👍

The Wind Is Shifting The wind is shifting, can you feel? The cracks beneath the cold reveal. Where silence smothered what we knew, Now voices rise in shades of blue. In courtrooms once too blind to see, Now truth reclaims its dignity. 🧵

Every day brings new executive orders, bills, laws, and court decisions that threaten the rights, liberties, and very lives of LGBTQIA+ folks. If only a hero would save us! Guess what? THERE IS NO HERO. 🧵/1

We all feel a little lost sometimes. Look for light in the darkness, like the incandescent glow of a bookstore, the flickering lanterns of your local tavern, or the ancient shimmering witch-candles to lead you through the old forest and home.

Had a fantastic time on the road in Wisconsin yesterday, stopping in Eau Claire, La Crosse, and Ashland to get out the vote for Judge Crawford and make it clear: Wisconsin is not for sale! Let’s keep up the momentum—make sure to vote this Tuesday, April 1!

People--esp women-- have been told and told and told that parenting is fun and fulfilling and any hardship is either roll-your-eyes funny or somehow your fault or deficiency. IT IS NOT.

1/🧵 VP Vance visits Pituffik Space Base in Greenland today. That’s why I’m writing this thread – to unpack Trump & Vances strange claim that the U.S. should buy or take Greenland for “world security.” Please share this in the U.S. – facts matter 🙏 #Greenland #USPolitics #ArcticSecurity #Denmark

Three Wins Today (March 26, 2025) 1. It’s not just that @maloneforsenate.bsky.social won in a district that hasn’t gone blue since 1889, it’s how he did it 2. On Monday there was a school board election in Ludlow MA and the two MAGA candidates backed by the state GOP lost 1/2

#vss365 from JULY 16, 2023 Why would the can-opener #canoodle with the corkscrew? I didn't need to hear it from the whisk, and I saw that the garlic press was jealous. Typical. The pizza wheel was giggling. The chopsticks peered from their paper wrapper, and said, Tsk, this will end with tears.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

MINNESOTA!!!! Remember that special election for statehouse district 40 B that should have happened back in Jan? And how the rescheduled date felt far away? It’s TUES! Tues vote for David Gottfried! This is a blue district, but we can’t risk low turnout. That would result in an R flip

This move to try to erase transgender people from the Stonewall Monument is cruel, pathetic, and historically inaccurate. Trans New Yorkers played a critical role in the events at Stonewall and in the movement for equality that it inspired. apnews.com/article/ston...

I have (mostly) chosen prompts that have nothing to do with love. Because if you're participating I am going to pretend it's because you are protesting this commercial holiday lol Also I figured writers don't need any prompts to write about love. It's natural. See you soon! #quickquill

Neither ban nor executive order can stop us from celebrating the impact of LGBTQ+ Black icons! From trailblazing activists to everyday heroes, we celebrate the vibrant intersection of Blackness + queerness and the many ways it has shaped our world. 🏳️‍🌈🖤 #BlackHistoryMonth

If you haven't already, I encourage reading this book by @allyhenny.bsky.social considering the hate & harms that is coming from 45/ 47. It is no accident that he's making the executive orders that he is. These are actions that empower the privileged & further subjugate anyone he deems the other.
