I am interested

We have gotten so used to Great Replacement becoming normalized that most people hardly noticed that a racist, antisemitic, xenophobic conspiracy theory popularized by mass shooters and 4chan trolls is now government policy.

Thanks for asking. And no one who denies and attacks science can lead science. So no, and I hope the story isn't the whitewash this pitch makes it sound like.

My 'Pallas Squish' poster/print is available on my inprnt shop. And the coloring sheet version is on my ko-fi shop! For prints, remember to place orders in early for gifts/holidays 🐾 🖼️: www.inprnt.com/gallery/bydh... 🎨: ko-fi.com/bydhiyanah #art #artists #bsnm #SupportArtists #caturday #catArt

We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!

It's time for my annual controversial post... The answer to "what is the best kind of pie" is ALL OF THEM

I did a thread a few weeks ago of "authors link your stuff" & one of my author friends who is one emergency away from being homeless had a massive spike in downloads on Anna's Archive from people *who follow me* complaining about how they are poor & should be allowed to steal from other poor people

And if someone is wearing a mask you don’t need to give them the third degree maybe even put one on.

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff! If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

We have updated detentionreports.com. 229 separate reports for 229 ICE detention facilities.

What if HTTYD but with firebending sword lesbians? 👇

You don't have to choose sides. You can dislike everybody. A true hater knows this.

When two chronically ill friends try to catch up it means constantly rescheduling your phone call because every day each one of you is feeling shitty for a new reason.

We need to normalize saying "I don't know" and just asking for clarification.

The Christians that sing Cohen’s Hallelujah in church without knowing all the lyrics are the same ones that expound at length about the Bible, without really knowing all of it too.

CORRECTION: A *third* potato has been named after Prince.

and racism, you can't talk about obstetric violence without addressing racism. It undergirds the entire profession

Hello friends! Do you or people you know need transcription and/or captioning services? I specialize in actual plays and TTRPG content but if you have general needs I can do that too! keysmash-tc.com (I still haven't figured out the SSL cert, it's fine, you're not submitting any info on the site)

Here’s a directory of nonprofit newsrooms; many of which are part of this program right now: you’ll surely find information on that on their donate page. bsky.app/profile/tani...

a PSA: most nonprofit newsrooms right now are probably participating in the NewsMatch program RIGHT NOW. That’s a program funded by a few foundations that “matches” your end-of-year donation. If you set up $10 monthly, that literally unlocks $120 from NewsMatch. So who could you support?

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back

Jason’s laptop still tries to load Spotify when it boots up. Today it told him “cannot load Spotify because Spotify is in the trash.” Hell yeah it is.

I also will say, the moral panic thing sucks. It always boils down to, “why do you need drugs for your brain.” I don’t know! But we’re here now & it really works!

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs. And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

How I feel about the whole Olivia Nuzzi story is that there are a lot of talented, ethical, underemployed or unemployed black and brown journalists right now who are ready to work.

ARTISTS! I need your help! In collab. w/the Society for Integrative & Comparative Biology, I'm organizing a group of artists to come to our Jan. meeting! We're looking for artists to create based on what they learn at the conference. $1000 stipend. Application is V short! forms.gle/ah1i8KwNJinZ...

NEW YORK CITY: all out call to canal street & Lafayette as of 12:26 pm, 11/22 — ICE made arrests, fears they might return.

Court permanently blocks Trump's executive order to dismantle federal agency for America's libraries IMLS librarytechnology.org/pr/31973

my shop is still open until the end of november! doing some holiday shopping? consider supporting a small artist (and getting some cool spooky art for your loved ones)!

Free birth is eugenic *and* it exists not because birthing people want their babies to die, but because there are so many horror stories floating around about doctors disrespecting birthing people in what is one of the most vulnerable states any human can experience.

The extent to which I was completely abandoned with pcos/endo is hard to quantify, and plenty of people tried to sell me WooWoo solutions for pain. Doctors completely failed me on every front for most of my life, I am sympathetic to not trusting them. It is a hard convo.

Get out there, Nashville

Oh wait! Figured out how to get rid of the garbage Gemini button in Chrome: - Right-click - Unpin Gone!

People love to pretend like pastel QAnon and RFK and anti-vaxx moms are just a function of bored privilege and ignorance, but the reality is much more complex. These anti-medical birth movements cross class and race lines and exploit very real gendered trauma from medical sexism related to birth.

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!" You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

11 years ago today.

I’m just glad the skyline is having a nice time

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

Which reminds me of one of my favorite New Yorker corrections

ya that's my name touching sam's butt

Just a little holiday PSA. Be good to each other. Dad said. 🤟🏼

I don't think you need to think there will be long term shifts in Trump's policies or behavior (there won't be) to enjoy what just happened, sometimes it's good to enjoy things that are funny in the moment

they shine up so fucking nicely

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.
