Hey @ellyzoe.bsky.social , I noticed that the guy everybody was freaking out about for just being the basic sort of Wrong on the Internet is out being Right in Real Life. Good for him! Actually looking out for one's neighbors is way more important than never being incorrect in a post.

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

if anyone is looking to help support vulnerable families in minneapolis right now, this north side fundraiser from school communities isn’t getting much attention and could use some boosting www.gofundme.com/f/show-love-...

This is a lesson I learned as a preteen, listening to Soviet refuseniks talk about how they survived until they were allowed to leave the country. You make art, you make joy, and you fight. Because those three things are the same thing.

All right, here's the GFM for the family trying to stave off eviction. They are young [VERY young], trying to do right by their little ones. Society yaps a lot about responsibility, but makes survival impossible. So let's help. Match our $25? gofund.me/29a271918

Okay, well, it's January 6, and yall know what that means: The official Beginning of the Carnival Season. That's right: It's King Cake Time! That colorful cinnamon goodness that should only be eaten from Epiphany to Mardi Gras. And for some strange reason, HEB makes a darn good one for cheap!

Very Sykes-Picot. Just blatant dehumanizing colonialism. Like we needed anything else in the 2020s that's reminiscent of the time between the world wars.

Putting on some Dame Shirley. Maybe next it'll be Dame Vera. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbUO...

weird this would happen in a country that has never produced one (1) single material consequence for the crimes of their political leaders

You don’t have to be perfect to be good or kind . You don’t have to not have a past to have a future You have to look around and see that there is wrong being done and look to do right. Not BE right but do right

I sincerely apologize, but genuinely need to clarify whether you're being sardonic. I wish I didn't, but here we are.

Seems to me if voting didn’t matter the people who benefit most from the destruction of democracy wouldn’t be trying so hard to demolish democracy

@atherton.bsky.social , I don't know how to reply to you, but Gin Blossoms.

Why did I work so hard at a history degree if people were just gonna .. MAKE THIS UP ?!

Second is the local widow and mama of 2 losing their housing by month's end. She's at $945; still needs $1555 to cover first/last/security. Can we raise the $555 part overnight? PayPal at this phone #: 505 542 2088 [initials VS].

I can't contain my pedantry, because this time it's based in grief. This is worse than anarchy. It's not that No One's In Charge. Plenty of people are in charge, and they're letting it happen.

Tasneem can’t keep an account here but she has a new fundraiser for her family

Last month, we donated $40 to the American Cancer Society! This month's Donathon is for Remote Area Medical (RAM) as suggested by @katherineperkins.bsky.social in my last giveaway -- can we do more? Ko-Fi shop: ko-fi.com/wingytheghost Read more about RAM: www.ramusa.org/about-ram/ #donathon

I named my fists Norfolk and Kahanamoku, so I can put up my Dukes.

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

Im sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmed. Ahmed and his wife Rula have two small daughters, Nour, 4 and Tin, 2. Ahmed has just started his first fundraiser because after losing his home and being displaced many times his children are starving and his family needs help.

Hands of the Emperor. Kip's out here inventing fantasy Universal Basic Income, and it's adorable, as is all the loyalty stuff.

Hi. I'm Greg, and odds are, you know me. If you don't know me, you've received this from someone who knows me, and who you trust. My wife is Jen. Same deal, lol. www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-fam...

No hell hot enough, part 924

Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.

You can learn a whole lot about writing by playing #DnD

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.

This excerpt from "Year of the Tiger: An Activist’s Life," by Alice Wong, is a love letter to disabled Asian American women and girls who feel alone and yearn for connection.

Remember: "Don't let the bastards grind you down!"

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

Our weekly briefing is out, this one touching on Medicaid but mostly looking at what we’re losing in federal food safety oversight. Spoiler, it is “things that keep our food from making us sick.” unbreaking.org/blog/this-we...

Frog and Toad stayed on the island all afternoon. They ate wet sandwiches without iced tea. They were two close friends sitting alone together.

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a vintage-style masterwork for this threshold season that allows us to be witness at the birth of new worlds: wingssilverwork.com/falls-cosmic....

The foodraiser going for this long means that some kids in these schools have only ever known the foodraiser, a helpful bag of food to take home for when school lunches aren't available. And this is the foodraiser's SENIOR YEAR!!
