If you are not willing to be embarrassed, be dragged out of a joint session of Congress, be arrested, put your physical body in danger to defend Democracy, those Trump is targeting, and the Constitution, STEP ASIDE AND LET SOMEONE ELSE LEAD.

Complying with the Trump regime's executive order, PBS deletes LGBTQ history videos. New York City's Education Department has since decided to host the videos on their own website. 1/2 🗃️ 🏳️‍🌈 🍎 🗺️ #sschat www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...

Some say it is best to live without regrets, but sometimes regrets are necessary to uncover honor within yourself. We learn kindness from the example of others, but also from reflecting on times when we were unkind, regretting those moments, and vowing to do better.

There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.

Researchers believe they've recorded potentially the first-ever sighting of an adult abyssal fish, Melanocetus johnsonii, in broad daylight. Normally found at depths between 200 and 2,000 meters, this predator was spotted just 2km off the coast of Tenerife. Full story: tinyurl.com/5j37dnmw

"We don't talk about politics in this house." Yeah, that tracks. These issues won't affect somebody who can't give birth and isn't queer and is 100% white. How very nice for you to be able to make that choice. Forget your trans kids and grandkids. Why not?

Is Mamaw's money worth your soul? All I'm saying is, if she voted for this, boycott that bitch! Fuck whatever meager inheritance she may or may not have to leave you, now that social security is going the way of the dodo. Enjoy Easter alone, you wrinkled husk of hate and bad choices.

This is such a great question that I think it deserves a whole thread. The cuneiform writing system included numbers, and we know how to say the names of many of these numbers in both Akkadian and Sumerian (languages that cuneiform was used to write). Let's start with Sumerian.

Well, this was the most harrowing fucking thing I've ever had to work on, and I'm just the damn lawyer. Can't imagine the client living it, and it's a goddamn privilege to represent her. DO NOT READ THIS unless you can handle details of some truly vile sexual abuse by Neil Gaiman.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Stop subscribing to substack newsletters and giving these people money. We have known for at least 3 years that they back trans eliminationist ideology preached by people like Graham Linehan. We've known for over a year they support Nazi newsletters. Stop fucking funding them.

After spending more than an hour on the phone with Microsoft Support, I have learned: 1. It is impossible to disable Copilot in OneNote, Excel, PowerPoint, or Windows itself. 2. It will not become possible to do so for another month AT THE EARLIEST. (1/?)

Trans people, American immigrants: don't bother reading this thread. You already know. Rest of y'all. I cannot overstate how bad this week's EOs are for immigrants and trans people. Two whole groups unpersoned in an instant. Courts temporarily blocked the immigrant order. But not the trans order

This 👇🏾 is the lesson of white supremacy: convince the people you hate to empathize with you, the people who hate them, and you will be able to control all aspects of their lives, abuse them, steal their talents, and center yourselves in their existence. This is the MO of pimps, abusers, slaveowners.

The wisdom and the origins of "snitches get stitches" is ever more evident. We don't know nothing; we didn't see anything; we didn't hear anything. We are minding our business.

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

The Horniman Natural History Gallery features this stunning walrus. It was transported to England, purchased in 1886. There, the taxidermists, having never seen one in the wild, stuffed it until the wrinkles smoothed out. This is a fully inflated walrus, my friends. MAXIMUM WALRUS. (📷: Tom Natt)
