my tree is the only thing he’s topping

for my librarian friends, here's a nice collection of critical viewpoints on libraries, written in 2021. freely available here: violetbfox.info/disorientati... (thanks to @sheerspite.bsky.social for the rec) #Libraries #PublicLibraries #Zines

lol this cop pissed himself

I checked, it is real, it is thousands of words long, and the only mention of trans people is two times when they mention that some cis women take dosage levels comparable to what trans men do There's sections about dysphoria cis women may feel from side effects of testosterone. I am LOSING MY MIND

I’m so struck by this video. A regular day in Logan Square in front of a grocery store and ICE pulls up and tear gassed people. Funston Elementary School is right across the street as well. This is a major corridor in Logan Sq. No concern for human safety Video from: www.reddit.com/r/chicago/co...

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Literally WHAT IS GOING ON Is this an op? Going fully insane. Across platforms, any time we share a video of protesters with police in the vicinity, these commenters keep emerging from the ether to thank police for protesting/helping protesters This is not happening!! This will never happen! ahhHH

Word to Chicago protesters: going “floppy” is a tactic that annoys police, wastes their resources, and makes them look bad.

me? oh I’m just over here writing & drawing comics for children.

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

I've been able to move $523 CAD to Shahd so far via sales of this zine. Any money you pay for this zine goes directly to her GoFundMe. You can also donate to her directly and send me a receipt and I'll email you the zine PDFs (more info in the links below!)

another hard day at the making little things factory

collecting these

well put

Hey Bluesky, let's play a game, shall we? It's called "distributing these photos as widely as possible." This man assaulted community members and threatened journalists yesterday. We sure would love to know more about him. Recognize him? Please contact us!

It's crazy to me that we have on video that cop just deciding to randomly shoot at the back of an Australian journalist while she was reporting, but this level of injuries isn't raising a hell of a lot more concern than the flaming Waymos.

fuck ice

democratic mayor in a democratic state with a democratic governor, all enabling horrific violence against people demanding the federal government stop kidnapping and disappearing people for the crime of being latin american

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

i love nightreign

Excellent statement that we are proud to add our name to. Free Elias Rodriguez and all political prisoners. unityoffields.net/free-elias-r...

hayden christensen zudrick face reveal haunts me @naddpod.bsky.social #NADDPOD

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

“they are *withheld* from us because we’re trans” is unfortunately succinct and correct.

Poisoning the air of a Black community for a fucking chatbot.

giving myself a gold star for this

I would really love it if mainstream journalists would seriously consider the possibility that RFK Jr.'s politicized HHS under Trump is as accurate about gender-affirming medicine as it is on autism or vaccination.

Tiny little labor of love. On earthday I dropped this pourne parody short story of lusty land defenders as an affectionate tribute to some of our favorite tierrarists past and present. it's free here's a link goonface.itch.io/earth-libera...

happy earthday

fighting tears

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

Shame on Planned Parenthood of Arizona for dropping their trans patients because of threats from Trump. What happens when they make you stop providing abortions? Birth control? PReP? Gonna roll over then too? These orgs complying are cowardly.

They are officially not letting trans people in this country. FYI

Ex-Biden State Department official says even the Israeli military expected the US to only let them bomb Gaza for weeks, rather than unconditionally for a year and a half:

what the fuck the founder of chipotle literally just looks like someone shaved the grinch

NEW — After putting all Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS) employees on administrative leave Monday, I'm told DOGE is canceling congressionally-appropriated grants to state libraries across the entire country. Libraries are getting notice that funding was canceled as of 4/1. More here:

BREAKING — Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) staffers who were put on admin leave on Monday just got letters letting them know they’re a part of a Reduction in Force (RIF) and that their job will be “abolished” effective May 4th in accordance with Trump’s EO, per copy reviewed by me.

Inbox: "A Jewish-led group of Columbia students have chained themselves to the locked campus gates in solidarity with Palestinian students, with 1 demand: the Uni provide the names of the trustees who reported Mahmoud Khalil to ICE... [they] refuse to unchain themselves until [they are answered]"

Better a pig than a gen A.I. user!

if the government is willing to disappear immigrants for their writing, they’re willing to do the same to citizens.

Palestine solidarity posters seen around the University of Glasgow

NEW: NYT reports DOGE returned to United States Institute of Peace (an independent organization) today and gained entry this time. Working on finding out more. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

NEW: Family of Mahmoud Khalil just released footage of his arrest “Stop resisting” “He’s not resisting” Agents seen continuing to ignore Mahmoud’s wife as she asks basic questions

the gang so far!
