The world as we knew it has ended. Civilians no longer exist—only “legitimate targets,” only “collateral damage.” The language of war has been stripped of its pretense, Francesca Albanese said fresh off her trip to Ireland. No more illusions of civility, no more performative concern.

Went to my local #teslatakedown protest again. I heard that a lot of passersby don’t know why we’re out here so I brought flyers. (Thanks to @prisonculture.bsky.social for the suggestion.) There were more people than last time I went, and the energy was once again great. (Flyer links below)

On this International Women’s Day if you see a bunch of ladies in black robes with 500 year old books and ceremonial knives go off into the woods - no you didn’t.

Seems like a pretty important detail

What do say when you write a letter to your representative asking them to start acting like OPPOSITION and their response is "I wrote a letter?" I mean, isn't letter writing MY job??!!

People laughed a few days ago when @jamellebouie.net said we might not have flu shots next year, but:

Looks like another protest heading for Stonewall this Saturday, likely even bigger than the one last week.

On this Superb Owl Sunday, I'm excited to share this Boreal Owl (my first ever!) that I was able to photograph yesterday. #wildlife #birds

Gettin' warmed up for #SuperbOwl Sunday! #birds #photography #BarredOwl🪶

Look deep into my eyes.... Young great horned owls have downy feathers that are replaced by adult feathers as they get older. #owls #birds #birdtherapy #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #photography #wildlifephotography #birding #canada #nikon #SuperbOwl

#SuperbOwl Northern Saw-whet

To all those who celebrate, here's some superb owl pictures!

I heard it was #SuperbOwl Sunday.

Anyway, goodnight all.

A hard read in many ways but so worth my time and attention as I learn about the role ww have played in suppressing equality. 😪

Breaking news: Lambda Legal and ACLU are suing on behalf of PFLAG and GLMA to end Trump's illegal executive order banning trans care under 19 years old. The suit has been brought in Maryland. A similar suit was brought on behalf of PFLAG to end child abuse investigations in TX 3 years ago.

Sky Puppy!!

My experience of tastes maturing as I age: Me at 20: the smartest rapper in wu tang clan is GZA Me at 30: the smartest rapper in wu tang clan is Ghostface Killah Me at 40: the smartest rapper in wu tang clan is Ol' Dirty Bastard

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

I’m no expert, but isn’t deporting L.A. gang members to El Salvador in the ‘80s exactly how they became an international threat in the first place? www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/...

i think it's super cool that the government is run by the klan right now

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Donald Trump is a despicable racist and we are in serious trouble.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Workers at a Philly Whole Foods have just released the results of their union election—AND THEY WON!!!! 130-100, baby! 🦅 Philadelphia is now home to the first unionized Whole Foods Market in the U.S. One down, 500 more to go!

Democrats: How can we go viral? (a pastor goes mega-viral for calling Trump a bigot to his face) Democrats: What if Tim Kaine made a BLT on Instagram Live

it's like AOC is the only person who is expressing an actual emotion here

1/ ☄️ Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) is gracing our skies, and we’d like to share some amazing images from ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile! This stunning shot by our friend Yuri Beletsky, with the comet next to an Auxiliary Telescope, is today's Astronomy Picture of the Day. Congrats, Yuri! 🔭 🧪

100 EOs ready to go on day one? If you believed Trump had no relationship to Project 2025 you’re a fool.

“The man made the Nazi salute and to offer any plausible deniability means he and his followers can use that doubt and turn it against us, accusing us of overreacting or reading into things that aren’t there.”

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Trump White House's first trans executive order is out. I'll be reading over it here and going through line by line to help you make sense of it. You can find it here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I’ve been here since before TikTok shut down. The main difference in my BlueSky presence will likely be that I’ll be on the toilet more often when scrolling.

You ever consider setting up a Jira project for your family and then realize maybe it’s time for a vacation? I’m all, like, “maybe what we need is just a bit ‘o Kanban up in here!”

I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people. Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.
