In February, a man drove cross-country with a cache of weapons to a major Nevada-area power plant. His apparent attack failed, and he killed himself. He had literature popular with neo-Nazis, and his target had circulated in guides in the movement. Latest at SPLC: www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Jen Kiggans is a disgrace to Virginia. This would have been obviously racist and hateful even when I was a child, in 2026 this should be career-ending and shunning-worthy.

I did a Bluesky Christmas this past year. Bluesky authors, artists, Etsy shops, it was great!

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

Reminder that ABA and gay conversion therapy were invented by the same person and are based on the same principles.

I just saw the largest #spider that I have ever encountered in nature, right outside the door. I am proud of the progress that I have made, but feel like things are crawling on me and have chills and am queasy. Got close enough for a couple photos, any id? Virginia, US. #arachnids

This whole thread is spot on! Don’t get me started on lack of pain control for gyn procedures, much less trying for years/decades to get something like endometriosis diagnosed just to hear “well, at your age why treat it, you should be in menopause soon” or tx options where risks outweigh benefits.

Tired: worrying about catching hantavirus after reading something on the internets whipped up by grifters and alarmists. Wired: worrying about the destruction of infectious disease and pandemic preparedness research and programming by Russell Vought and Donald Trump.

I just saw on Reddit that it’s the end for @knowledgefight.bsky.social. I have appreciated Dan’s meticulous research and Jordan’s righteous yelling for years, from limerick soap guy, Stevie P, Larry Nichols’ weeitches, and “Hi Kerry!” days. Very sad to see it end, but wish Dan and Jordan the best.

We know autistics are more likely to have hypermobility/Ehlers-Danlos. We know these lifelong conditions require complex care. Now we need more research into autistic experiences, so we can know which treatments and supports help. By @cjcrompton.bsky.social et al: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

some🗑️❤️‍🔥inspo❤️‍🔥🗑️for you:

I think this is it. I can remember people in my life who had no idea what was going on politically, no concept of current events that did not affect them personally and immediately. Long before people started believing “alternative facts,” they had the ability to avoid facts entirely.

Today you should send love to your trans friends. Tomorrow, too. Maybe every day for a while.

So in case it's not clear, the supreme court just told you why you need to fight like hell to pack every state legislature, judicial bench, governorship, & congressional house & senate seat with people who Actually a) Give A Shit and b) plan to Do Something About their, SCOTUS', massive depredations

i've seen several of my mutuals share this and a couple of quick things: 1) genAI image, gross 2) a couple of these are straight-up piracy sites. most authors don't make much money, so it's super gross to steal from them! 3) the inclusion of legit sites like Gutenberg doesn't negate the above point

Spread calm. The most useful and experienced demonstrators yell "walk!" to stop crowds from running in fear. The most useful and experienced people try to spread calm. It doesn't get the clicks, but it doesn't immobilize people's thinking either.

So it goes with conspiracy thinking. When every action is immediately discredited as a conspiracy, we inflate our belief in the state to act and discredit the ability of individuals to act. People like to spread fear on social media because it performs well because fear spreads easily.

In the 70s, COINTELPRO used infiltrators to disrupt social movements. One of their explicit strategies was to get activists paranoid and suspicious. Fear of infiltrators was often more disruptive than the actual infiltration. Paranoia sometimes short circuited groups before they even began.

As a mom of four, my feedback is that that censorship and bigotry are inappropriate, and trans and nonbinary representation matter and are important, Brendan. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

I believe that in order to take some small step forward, the word “bird” should be replaced with “saur” in all common names. Mockingsaur. Secretarysaur. Red-winged blacksaur. HUMMINGSAUR

Kind of difficult to sleep when there’s a fox vs. coyote fight in my back yard. Hoping the kits are safely hidden.

It's a reason for every supposed Christian in his circle to stop fucking with him because this is just flat out blasphemy. He's officially reached the "Yeah, I'm Jesus." Part of the descent to insanity.

do not "light it up blue" do not puzzle piece do not give Autism Speaks your money they love ABA & eugenics anyone who works there & wants to fix their heart ought to consider working for the AANE the ASAN Reclaiming Autism or literally anywhere else

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition.

Pope Leo on Palm Sunday: “This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood’ (Is 1:15).”

I’m sorry but what now

Oh look, more homophobic trash from Democrats! I’m old enough to remember when this shit was just immature, sad middle school behavior and anyone with any intelligence moved on. So is Gavin. Just disgusting, pathetic, wannabe edgelord but failed so hard, ugliness. Yikes.

Want to see my first little tomato plant of the season? I also have even tinier bell peppers and lemon basil!

So many, because autism. But this is my current comfort song on repeat x100s. (The song itself isn’t current, you know what I mean.) youtu.be/npaFa8_wK_w?...

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

This is just the dumbest shit ever from the Post. Love your neighbor. If you are Christian, try to see Christ in everyone you encounter. This includes trans people. It’s not difficult at all, in fact it’s painfully obvious.

I wrote an essay folks. It was so hard to write this, but I hope it helps others. #autistic 💖❤️

And I thought my relatives that had an Evangelical puppet theater show were frightening and unhinged.

It’s not new in this neighborhood, the rules apparently don’t apply if you think you are bougie enough or drive an expensive car. That includes the stop signs on school buses stopped for loading and unloading, they blow past those too. I’m talking about grown ass adults, not just stupid kids.

Reliance on "A.i." makes people sloppier, shittier writers, which encourages sloppier, shittier reading, all of which makes people sloppier, shittier thinkers. None of these "A.i." words matter, so no one gives a shit. This is INCREDIBLY bad for people individually and for society as a whole.

Donald Trump slowly turning every Evangelical into an idolator and every liberal into a believer in Satan is a pretty good bit.

Stop literally everything. Steve Albini's Fugazi sessions, widely bootlegged and full of lore, now available officially for the first time. fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...

pretty confident that if our own government bombed, say, Philadelphia, we'd just kind forget about it after a couple more Rocky movies

The attack on Palestinians is an attack on all of us. The attack on immigrants is an attack on all of us. The attack on trans people is an attack on all of us. The attack on boats in the Caribbean is an attack on all of us. The attack on Iran is an attack on all of us.

This is eugenics. Genocide. An attack on science, medical ethics, bodily autonomy, and human rights. Where is the outcry from the biomedical community? Trans people aren't just abstract patients and research participants: We're your friends, family, and co-workers. Speak up before it's too late

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

“It’s weird,” he said. “I just did something that I would think anyone would do. What do you mean you would watch a stroller and a baby just sink?”

This is the best thing I have seen in forever. This winter has been so dark (literally and figuratively) and long that I kind of forgot that the lighter days would be returning!

Sending so much love and big mom hugs to anyone who needs them today. It’s just all too much. 🏳️‍⚧️

Horrifying. This is dehumanizing and such a terrifyingly awful disregard for basic rights. I really don’t have coherent words right now. I remember having my older kids in the aughts and thinking that they would grow up in a better, more accepting society. Fuck these fascists.

Arguing with homeschool moms who believe public schools are trans indoctrination camps is going to be my supervillain origin story. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Just love your kids. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
