Welcome Coyote!! I was just thinking (again) today that what we need so badly right now is more local, independent, alternative media. Exactly what @emmaruthless.bsky.social is talking about here. (Signed, Christine -- editor of The Stranger in the early 90s ❤️)

Ouch... this one really hurts. There's a trans nerd in the Bay Area (whom I've met and can vouch for) and we raised some $$ for her in the past, getting her into a stable situation. But now? She's been robbed and lost everything. Please help if you can: www.gofundme.com/f/DWORD-0x62...

literally the book i was the most excited for at SPX and it did not disappoint — you neeeed to pick up FLIP when it hits shelves later this month!!

Ok listen, when I tell people I work with teens they often immediately ask me what is wrong with Gen Z and I am telling everyone who asks me this: nothing!! (And they are inheriting a world on fire and they know it)

Goodnight.

Btwn the salt trucks and another unsourced video I just saw purporting to be from Chicago today with a reply saying it was from two months ago figured we could all use a reminder

I was the one handing these out 😊 and I handed more out today and if you want to print out/distribute some yourself, either in Chicago or any of a number of other cities/regions - here you go: drive.google.com/drive/folder... (cc zine maker @meganpiont.bsky.social)

We're funded, but in the last few hours, my car got hit-and-runned(while parked) and I had to turn down a gig I really wanted due to caretaking responsibilities, so the film having a comfortable budget will really ease my overall stress! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

I spent this morning joining fellow organizers to protest ICE fascists in Chicago, at their Broadview location at 1930 Beach St. What unfolded was telling—not about us, but about them. Here are three key takeaways, & why I hope you join the next protest near you. www.qasimrashid.com/p/today-i-pr...

Guards at 'Alligator Alcatraz' engaged in indiscriminate beatings of detainees after an uprising at the detention camp forced them to regain control last week, several people held at the widely condemned site told Noticias 23/Univision last week:

Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Re: finding non substack newsletter platforms, I want to shout out Button Down! We met with one of the founders to see if they'd be a good fit for moving our union newsletter there. I'm sad we didn't go with them, bc they were v supportive and v interested in how they could provide what we needed -

We made our goal, with about two weeks left to go! Please continue to support us, because that means I can hire more fabricator labor which means I will personally have time to build very small and indulgent pieces of furniture. www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

Since the reprint of my graphic novella CRY WOLF GIRL came out this week, I'll do a little thread talking about the visual development process! Buy the book here: store.silversprocket.net/products/cry...

My friend Sama'a's due date is tomorrow, and survival is already a struggle. Even a small donation can make a difference. www.gofundme.com/f/brgdd-help...

I am sorry but now more than ever I need the help. gofund.me/18405ce8

Tasks for the National Guard in Chicago 21: Introduce yourselves to each and every rat in the city, give them pieces of electronics from Cybertrucks and teach them to love the way they taste. Then show them where Cybertrucks are parked throughout the city and let them go to work.

One big thing I got out of this is the need for public disclosure - we don't quite know how much water facilities are using blockclubchicago.org/2025/08/28/t...

Hey Blue Sky family! Sending a call out to any Chicago transplants. I’m looking to speak to you about why you decided to move to Chicago for a story I’m writing. If interested please respond here or email me at corli(at)thetriibe(dot)com. Thank you!

This is why we need to keep calling. I don't want us to keep scurrying to more obscure platforms and financial sources. Keep fighting with me comrades

BARBAROUS RETURNS!!! TOMORROW!! AUGUST 28!!!!!! Always read BARBAROUS for free at johnnywander.com!

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

I just used up the last bit of a chapstick - tube empty.

Less than $2,000 to go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bul...

This is what we mean when we say America will not progress until the *systems* of white supremacy are dismantled and discarded. The same fascist policies that targeted Japanese Americans are now targeting Latino Americans, in literally the same locations and with the same denial of due process.

We've now got less than 20% to go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bul...

We're looking forward to seeing a lot of people here on 9/7. Please help us spread the word.

worst new thing is an ad on youtube claiming Palestinians aren't actually starving. these genocide merchants have an incredible knack for radicalizing us more and more in their attempts to make us not care

ATTN CALIFORNIANS & ALLIES: August 19 is going to be a big day because there will be a public hearing on AB 715 in Sacramento! Read up on a great opinion piece by Lily Greenberg Call addressing this racist bill that was drawn up from Project Esther to censor any education about Palestine

Sama'a has a baby coming at the end of the month. She will be born in the midst of genocide and famine. Anything you can give makes a difference.

In our magazine: Palestinian artist and writer @deltahead.bsky.social is frustrated by how American fiction depicts their people. They take us from Adam Sandler to James Cameron and beyond in this visual essay ...

Today is an especially good day to support the mutual aid work Remora House and @dcmigrantmutualaid.org are doing to take care of unhoused and migrant community members in DC, if you're looking for somewhere to pitch in.

honks my horn (thank you)

Israel has killed nearly 270 journalists and media workers since it launched its war on Gaza.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Putting out a call for help on behalf of my library teen. She's a talented self portrait photographer who landed a full ride to art school, but the school isn't housing her this year. She is independent with no family that can support her and needs safe housing fast. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ke...

My favorite doctor and companion

If you’ve ever read or discussed Fobazi’s work on vocational awe in librarianship, you know a small bit of what she’s contributed to the world. Help her and her wife make it through this tough time.

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call… HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775 HHS Direct Line: 202-690-7000 PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well. NONE of this is okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hey, it would mean so much to me if y'all kept up the pressure with phone calls to payment processors to show to them how much people care and that they can't just ignore it—my livelihood depends on adult games not being censored! You can find info and phone scripts here: stop-paypros.neocities.org
