y'all, i'm working on something so cool and so energizing and something that connects multiple special interests of mine along with my professional credentials and my desire for social justice. i'm starting to get my writing going again. i'm plotting the start of an indie label, too. 😉

i also really really love this moment on joshua's EP - the "i promise you" is just chill-inducing. great cover!

hiii i just posted a review of my friend joshua's stunning new EP. check it out at redheading.substack.com, then visit joshuabley.bandcamp.com to listen & buy!! ⭐️🩷 joshuabley.com

a mutual on another app has been posting so many images from the files without any TW. even censored, many of these images are triggering. i'm begging folks to be selective about reposting. this should not be about staring at the trainwreck & trying to shock people into caring. 😔

tidying my desk at the moment. all my little trinkets and dodads make me happy. 🦄

in the year of our lord 2026, could we please stop making videos while we eat? please i am begging you.

everything in the US is inconvenient and expensive and low quality. everything. i'm so sick of feeling ripped off.

here's a page from my journal. just a little glimmer of joy to share. 💛

mainstream swifties are deeply embarrassing.

bookriot.com/5-reasons-yo... Reminder to get a library card!! I still need to get one myself. Libraries are one of the last free third spaces we have. Use them or lose them!

tbh i want the opalite single when it comes out but i also don't want to spend any more money on merch until and unless she speaks up on the current state of affairs.

this might be a good time to haul out the couple of papers i wrote in undergrad (circa 2005-2008) about the cult of oprah. 👀

one thing that results from being harassed online is that you are really careful about what you put online. i find myself posting waaay less about myself or my opinions. it really does isolate you in several different but related ways.

people really don't understand how difficult it is to live with online harassment & doxxing. it's psychological terrorism that no one with any authority seems to want to deal with unless it happens to a rich, famous person. it's a tool of fascists, even used by creators who claim to be progressive.

really having a hard time engaging w/ grammy stuff, taylor discourse or pretty much anything about the rich. i'm furious that i scrambled so hard my entire life for the tiny tenuous bit of security i cobbled together, & now my second act is... *this*. my rage this week is so real, i can taste it.

For #BlackHistoryMonth we're offering 40% OFF Haymarket Books on the Struggle for Black Liberation

here to let you know that while you might think i'm an NPC in *your* life, i certainly am a main character who is reaching her limit.

@aerinmoriarty.bsky.social it took me a minute just now to figure out why shibby was so big. i guess this is a new thing? 🤣 how alice in wonderland!

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

FYI

so now ari, gaga, and billie have made a pro-human rights, anti-ICE statement and/or reposted info. where you at, blondie? it's mighty quiet, taylor swift.

Ariana Grande endorses a nationwide ICE protest involving not working, attending school or shopping tomorrow, January 30th.

Despite it all — rent is still due in 3 days. Can anyone match my $15 donation & help support this family? gofund.me/3a58cf8e1

If you're feeling overwhelmed because it's all too big to make sense of, may I offer this: all you have to do is the next right thing.

y'all, i laugh at horrible ai-generated bullshit about taylor & travis & repost it sometimes because it's dumb & we all know it is. i know ai is bad. i didn't make the images or headlines i find on facebook & i try to make it clear that it's fake. it's literally just me joking around.

It’s the 1990s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see at Ruby Ridge and Waco reflect entrenched practices of law enforcement. It’s the 2000s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see under the PATRIOT ACT reflect entrenched practices of American law enforcement. It’s 2025. Guess the fuck what.

what the hell was it like having DAVID BOWIE look at you this way, brian molko?! i need to know if you were internally squealing. because i would have been internally squealing. and jumping up and down. and figuring out who to call first to tell them about this!

dissociation station.

🚨🚨Please keep Des Moines, IA on your radar. We are only about 3 hours south of the Twin Cities. As of yesterday 300 additional 🧊 agents entered our city. DES MOINES POLICE DEPARTMENT IS COOPERATING WITH 🧊🧊!!!!! AND they are LYING about it to the public!!!! There have been 2 raids so far today at

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE: Renee Good: $1,499,580 Alex Pretti: $1,289,249 Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423 Parady La: $45,848 Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991 Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640 Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538 Geraldo Lunas: $2,260 Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

The National Guard is still patrolling DC, carrying handguns & long rifles, patrolling vibrant community spaces in packs to intimidate residents, especially Black residents, of the city. Keep that in mind as you see the videos of them handing out pizza & coffee in MN.

five things you can see four things you can touch three things you can hear two things you can smell one thing you can taste breathe

Federal agents were assaulting women: striking them, shoving them to the ground, pepper spraying them. Alex Pretti acted in solidarity with those women rather than in loyalty to other men who had strength of arms and state power. A betrayal to white supremacist patriarchy he was murdered for.

A small action those living in MN or outside of MN can take part in today.

I’m in Minnesota and I NEED EVERYONE TO LISTEN TO ME: You’re hearing that the local law enforcement is aiding and abetting. You’re hearing they should drive frozen water out. You’re not hearing the whole story. Today MSP created a human shield that protected observers from attempts

abolish ice free palestine it’s all connected no one is free until we are all free 🖕🧊🚫⛓️‍💥

Spread this:

It won’t let me interact with this video it was immediately taken down

beautiful!!

during the blm protests in 2020 I trained to be a legal observer. they aren’t targeting protesters, they are going after the people who keep notes on their activity.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

ALL EYES ON MINNESOTA. WE NEED HELP AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE TALKING ABOUT THIS. Please PLEASE DONT LOOK AWAY.

grateful for a mostly sunny day at the end of a horribly sad and enraging week. it is truly small joys like this now that remind me of my humanity and give me reason to keep going. also, fuck 🧊.

He was a ‘cat’ wanted him bad just like any good trophy hunter

thursdays are my in-office days; the rest of the week i work from home. i adore my team. but i am also dreading being around other humans when i feel this vulnerable & low. this is why i've been hiding out in my house for the last... 5+ years. le sigh.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.
