i will always recommend people use freetaxusa. site name sounds shifty, but legit i only pay like 25 bucks to file every season and it makes it so much easier. saves me a shit ton compared to turbotax, that sites a complete scam

Caviar drinks from a water bowl by scooping a little water at a time into his paw. It's so cute. I guess it saves splashing water into his snoot? #raturday #ratsoffediverse #petrats

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations She fought for the people of Gaza She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

Acknowledging the dead would mean acknowledging the catastrophic public health/economic/policy failure that made the body count so high in the first place There were a few moments in that first year where we nearly got something, but that amounted to an NYT full spread of names and a CNN clicker

rape cw i seriously think that many people are disgusted by rapists not because of compassion for victims and a desire for justice but because rapists create rape victims and rape victims are incredibly stigmatized

The thing that unites conservatives, liberals, fascists, and leftists around Epstein's violence is that the vast majority never cared about the girls. It has only ever been about whose reputation can be damaged.

maybe i’m naive but i think it’s kinda doomerism to always be saying this is gonna take decades to undo or you’ll be old or dead when it ends. first it doesn’t matter, plant trees you won’t live to sit in the shade of. second great change is capable of happening very quickly

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

on my catgirl shit once again

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

jfc

It was always inevitable that the loudest and best-funded (by people in Epstein's emails) anti-trans freaks who spent years trying to brand trans people as sexual predators, would instantly start defending Epstein. It's not hypocrisy, it's them reinforcing their hierarchy.

TNN is something badly needed in trans media. We're not centered around a single influencer. We're not here to curry favor with the elite. We're focused on trans communities on the front lines, not the gentry. We're worker-run. Our reporting is in-depth and unrepentantly radical. Support us here:

we need a joe rogan of the bereft

lol when i worked at target you needed a doctor's note to bring a water bottle with you on the sales floor, not surprised in the least by this shit from them

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper. They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer. If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help." 🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

This is actually the original definition of emotional labor, as defined by Arlie Hochschild, the sociologist who coined the term. It refers to the labor of performing emotions in order to do your job. It is not enough to just do your job, you have to put on a performance

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.

Please wear a mask when you can. Even if you don't always, even if it's not the best mask, even if you didn't this morning and you'd feel silly if you did now... any amount of masking is better than none. Nobody is perfect, we're all doing our best, please mask and protect yourself and everyone ❤️

One of my favorite pieces thats still lowkey underrated Also relevant now. This was when I was living in Albay. The mountain was visually based on Mt. Malinao. But also thematically focused on the quarrying around Mayon Volcano. And unchecked development as a whole.

On this site will rise (2022) #artph #digitalpainting

‼️CALL FOR HELP‼️ I really hate to do this but I’m at the end of my rope since he’s started feeding my art into ai now: If you have a tumblr, can you please help me report and put attention on my racist stalker?

I know it's just me being annoying, but watch and see who gives credit to the journalists *actually* covering a story and who just writes something — with no sourcing or credit — for engagement. And remember that! Journalism costs money and the people who actually cover things need your support.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

yip yip yaaaoooowwww aaauuuuueee yaaiiiii yeehee

"rite of passage", collage on paper, 2025

Y'all the holidays are basically cancelled for me. Without food stamps I can cook anything. My breakfast for the past week has been one spoonful of peanut butter with cinnamon. Things are bleak.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Cool photo I took a few seconds after waking up when Joe Camel hit me with his car

TLDR: Teen Vogue's coverage is about to be watered down in a way that serves no one. The politics section, which featured cutting edge stories on repro rights, the economy, and more is now gone. Black women are no longer at what remains. Everybody loses. This is #TheDoubleTax.

Give DDoSecrets your money!! they routinely are behind massive stories in the news and need financial support to keep doing what they do.

good time to respectfully tap the "please support worker-led, billionaire-free, independent news" sign

There's more queer American kids (22.2% of gen z) than Catholic kids (14%) and Protestant kids (22%) and fuck is that funny news.gallup.com/poll/611864/...

Every business saying they're offering people a meal and adding "let's not make this political" deserve their asses on platters on social media. It is 100000% political. ENTIRELY political. There is nothing not political about the withholding of food money from citizens.

So thanks in part of the government shut down, & in part bc of our government striving to trash the economy as much as humanly possible it seems, my Patreon was down by $300 last month. I believe that I will have support to help cover my SNAP not coming, but together thats $600 thats just.... Poof.

If you wanted to buy a book from me, now is a really good time to do that, whether you’re buying one for yourself or a community copy for me to give away to someone who couldn’t afford it otherwise! They’re $25 plus shipping and handling (but they're books, so they can be sent Media mail).

Every time you say "actually Frankenstein was the name of the scientist" you're just replicating his damnable act of disavowal and abandonment that drove his creation to murder but okay
