The toddler built a house and gave me a tour, I have labeled the rooms. @edidin.bsky.social

The Turkey Situation has progressed

“I want some cake of THIS world!” -the toddler @teaberryblue.net

I sincerely wish that every comic artist was a millionaire. I think that’s a small thing to ask the universe since comic artists give so much to the world

My mom bought our kid some turkey dress-up sticker sets for Thanksgiving, I think the toddler did a good job @edidin.bsky.social

Yesterday, striking baristas took action at Starbucks’ biggest distribution center that serves the entire east coast. Today, union stores in 25+ MORE cities are joining our national, open-ended ULP strike! Our union isn’t slowing down… in fact, we’re just getting started. #NoContractNoCoffee $SBUX

happy International Men's Day to trans men only, you guys worked your asses off to earn this and are playing the game on a level cis men cannot even imagine

Whomst among us hasn't felt a little vacuum about snackie all done

Hey, I'm looking for comics and graphic novels *by* Indigenous writers and/or illustrators, especially in the Americas. Doesn't have to be a recent book. Any genre! Any topic, any themes, does not have to be a memoir or history, though that is welcome too!

I hope men understand that it is very very rare for anyone who is not a woman’s lover, close friend, or relative to stand up for her when another man insults her in a room of other men. It is incredibly unusual. They may not join in the bullying, but they’re unwilling to step in to stop it.

I do like the idea that both left and right wing folks will boycott Starbucks this x-mas.

I know everyone is fed up with the state of the world but what if you didn’t take it out on people you have mild disagreements with on social media

I have so many questions: Did the Vikings find Peru and bring back alpacas? Were the alpacas already Jewish or did they convert after becoming Vikings? Were the other Vikings Jewish, or just the alpacas? Is the mohel also an alpaca or do they need to get a mohel with opposable thumbs?

Our kid learns the best stuff from Bluey

Conway, hijiki tofu burgers at Dojo, huuuuge liverwurst sandwiches that could feed you for four meals at Carnegie Deli, cocktails at The Dove, late night pierogies at Odessa, Woolworth’s in Penn Station, and even though it was a relatively new addition, chocolate soup dumplings at Rickshaw.

“Look! One is Ama, and one is a giraffe!” —the toddler @edidin.bsky.social

I have a series of new glass mini wreaths in the shop. They're gorgeous on Christmas trees but also look great as wall hangings. $50. I'm going to be adding more new stuff over the next few days as my health allows and will give 10% of this weekend's sales to the Roadrunner Food Bank. nora.jewelry

Massive high five to everyone who came to the @handsoffnyc.bsky.social / @bkindivisible.bsky.social event at @anyonecomics.bsky.social today! Incredible turnout - filled the inside of the store and two tables outside! Folded about 800 zines and gave out loads of whistles and buttons and stickers!

Alice Wong’s legacy is the political horizon she helped articulate. A horizon where disabled knowledge is central, and care is a shared commitment. She taught us to name grief & rage without collapsing under them, to celebrate disabled brilliance without ignoring the material conditions shaping life

and putting out the call again- if you have any leads on apartments in nyc (anywhere we can reasonably get on a train and get to manhattan within 90 minutes), please let me know!! i know i shouldn't self-evict but i'm disabled, tired and stressed and we need a stable home ASAP

posted an update- i predict we have seven* weeks left before getting kicked out. maybe the judge will have pity and give us more time, but she was giving everyone else two weeks. *i think i said 5 in the update, i did the math wrong. our next court date is in 5 weeks

Humans need other human beings to survive. I'm sorry that this makes some people lose their shit but it's one of the key truths of life.

This is fucking hilarious

It's a losing battle, but I really want people to stop using the term "cabal" to describe Epstein's circle The whole matter is already so tricky when it comes to antisemitism that adding an antisemitic term to your critique doesn't really help matters But whatever, no one cares

To explain: "Kabbalah" is a term referring to a wide array of mystic practices and texts in Judaism, but antisemites have LONG used it as an example of Judaic secretiveness and evil Ergo describing some evil secret group as a "cabal" Anyway, now you know

The problem with this is that it’s only going so far as political figures, it should be illegal to deepfake ANYONE without their explicit consent.

ME: I need to go get work done; it’s an absolute scramble today. TODDLER: It’s caterpillar snuggle time. ME: Work can wait. @teaberryblue.net

Chat is it a good idea to physically invade the pope's hometown

#MeToo didn't go far enough. Few men faced any consequences. The conversation has since rolled back further than it was when we first started having it.

If abusers were held accountable and it wasn’t seen as setting the stage for them to make a comeback in two to four years

Soooo much sexual harassment from men who were old enough that I sort of roughly grouped them as age 30-50 in middle school and high school. Some guys would stop if you said “I’m 13, weirdo,” others who would be like “I’m young at heart” and keep harassing

Repost with an iconic fictional band

The U.S. lost an average of 11,000 jobs every week in October, per CNBC.

its almost a month since lia smith, a trans woman who was in college sports until trump took office and banned her from competing, committed suicide her death has a wikipedia page but has yet to receive an ounce of news coverage in @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @apnews.com @cnn.com

I believe the mods when they say they haven't finished the technical work necessary to automatically inform users of what posts they're being suspended for. I also believe that's not an acceptable flaw for this website in late 2025.

Okay I know I’m a little late to the game but

Nick and Nora can’t get rid of the pesky ghost of Jay Gatsby, get the money make it happen.
