what a headline 👀 (and a read)

There is something all of us can do to rein in ICE's reign of terror. The Department of Homeland Security is currently funded only through January 30, and the new funding bill is vulnerable. Please read more via this link and call your reps today. All hands on deck. indivisible.org/campaign/how...

I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago but sending links and videos to people so they know to avoid the green gas (zinc chloride). Once a lab steward, always a lab steward. Seriously, I was a chemist twenty years ago, you do NOT want heavy metal toxicity. It fucks you up in weird ways.

How I'm dealing with my stress: I bought a 3d printer and am producing 100 whistles at a time. 1000 heading to Minneapolis tomorrow.

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for."

Here is a much larger, vetted list of ways to help Minnesota. Please share it widely. www.standwithminnesota.com

Thanks to some incredible Twin Cities and Chicago folks, we have a whistle party on Saturday! Come out if you live in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. We’ll be folding zines and putting them together with whistles that have been donated for free speech and community safety. Take some to distribute!

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too! Got through to my representative and actually spoke to someone. Get those phones out and make some calls folks! 5 Calls gives you an easy base script to follow and helps you find your rep and senators. Have your friends call too! 5calls.org

Last year @aoc.bsky.social confirmed phone pressure campaigns help flip votes. It's our right & duty to tell our reps how we want them to represent us. I don't care if your senator is Ted Cruz. And what, you're gonna let Ted Cruz beat you? Come on, have some dignity in the collapse of democracy.

A zine making workshop with DAIR and Identity 2.0 on Thurs Jan 29th, 10:30am - 12:30pm PST. "An online workshop mapping our everyday moments of resistance to the unwanted incursion of AI!" luma.com/46m6hul0

Have left messages today for both my Senators and my Representative. Have you called? Call. Leave messages.

Years ago I frequently shared comic industry job openings on my social media under the hashtag hashtag #ComicJobs. I realize I haven't done that in a while, but I should restart it. Now, I'm doing it over at Popverse. Please reshare, and tell me any jobs I missed in the comments over there!

"When literature was considered transgressive, moralists couldn’t get people to stop buying and reading dangerous books. Now that books are considered virtuous and edifying, moralists can’t persuade anyone to pick one up." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The 2025 Indie Game Awards begin... right now!

This story Carl Nassib told on RC's pod about coming out in the NFL cracked me up. His delivery is so good!

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

I’m old enough to remember the strike that happened a whole year ago because companies like Netflix claimed they don’t have enough money to pay residuals to actors for their work. Netflix has $82 Billion to buy Warner Bros.

NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month. This is a massive win for libraries & communities in every state & territory! Learn more: www.ala.org/news/2025/12...

Hi, it's me again I have these calendars. They are so pretty. @megstampede.bsky.social made them. They have a bunch of animals on them, like crows and humpbacks and cuttlefish and salamanders. Each month has facts about the animals AND actions you can take to help them Get one at Squidfacts.net!

Devastated to wake up to the news Alice Wong has passed, she was the Oracle for our time, a fierce warrior and a representative to the disability community. Peace, light and love to this beautiful soul.

So there’s a lawyer going around BlueSky right now responding to everyone talking about the Anthropic book settlement by (1) urging people to opt out and (2) saying that they are representing authors who are opting out.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Literally every person who worked on it in the credits

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

11 days to go! Let's get this funded~

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

I want a Frankenstein from the perspectives of a couple of the friends or relatives of the dead people who were used/reanimated. "This is George, but not quite, but I love him anyway." "Harry is taller now, and a bit ham-handed, but he is the father of my children and we need him."

US Department of Agriculture says no food aid benefits will be issued next month reut.rs/3WohHMk

We serve 300 people a night and our lines are growing as govt assistance is cut. SNAP will run out Nov 1. Millions of the poorest Californians will be harmed. We are going to raffle off everything we can think of to help fill the gap. World Series tickets first! : givebutter.com/game4?gbtid=...

It's the month of jack-o-lanterns, black cats, and -tober aka dash tober. Don't know if I'll get to the drawing and posting side, but will try to finish even one piece.

The GFM is to help ease financial stress. If you can donate or share, plz do! www.gofundme.com/f/support-ri...

Unacceptable @viz.com. Why do this and cast doubt over every manga in your app?

Thrilled to share that you can catch me as Sky Byte in the latest episode of Transformers Cyberworld🦈 Aside from clearly being the best/most powerful/smartest Decepticon, Sky Byte has been VERY busy on Cyberworld (…sorry Wheeljack fans😏😈) #Cyberworld #Skybyte #Transformers #Maccadams

Economic blackout day is on the 28th, but please remember to patronize small businesses like...your local comic book store! Support small businesses and pay with cash if you can 😘

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Agreed.

DEI is vital on its own merits. But another reason is that it teaches all of us to value the humanity of those around us and to ostracize those who refuse. Authoritarianism depends on these broken people who refuse to respect the agency of others. It’s why DEI is so central to democracy.

In case you missed it...the trailer for the LIES OF P DLC DROPPED!!! And it looks like the team has outdone themselves once again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfS9...

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.
