Tomorrow's Bandcamp Friday fundraiser will be for The Trans Continental Pipeline, helping trans folks leave hostile states (ahem, Kansas) for Colorado.
"Sex Workers Tried to Warn Us About Age Verification Laws." We did not listen.
Noem getting fired feels like such catharsis, specifically for every freelancer who figured out they were fired from social media
Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river
The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
Map showing Dahieh in red and orange
The IDF just ordered the forced evacuation of *all of Dahieh* a day after ordering the forced evacuation of all of South Lebanon.
Israel is taking advantage of the focus on Iran to destroy Lebanon
π¨URGENT ACTION ALERT! π¨
The House Energy and Commerce Committee is holding a hearing today to advance a frankenstein package of "kids safety" bills that are trojan horses for censorship and surveillance.

π₯πWE HATH REACHED 100 BACKERS!!! βοΈπ§‘
"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.
So glad you're on the mend, friend π
Taking this as a sign from the world that I needed this time of forced hibernation to finally come back stronger in the spring and be around more.

As a collection, How To Touch Grass brings together so many diverse takes on grass, on community building, on self-care, on history itself...!
One might say that it... /covers a lot of ground/...? ππ₯ππΎ

WE COULD DO THIS. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS FOR DECADES.
We could basically end the spread of airborne disease in indoor spaces and don't do it because the rich fuckheads in power can't see past their own noses
Got gifted my first MTG deck in over 10 years by @newlevant.bsky.social and already trying to find reasons to invite folks for games π
I am overjoyed to see that this picture is still exactly where I left it on the internet and nobody has noticed.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own governmentβs repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
uh with the total siege on gaza... you know what to do
#ConnectingGaza
As war spreads like a cancer across the Middle East, driven by Israel and the United States, we cannot forget our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Please give what you can.
