saw crowd in portland and my brain just shut down when I tried counting. 50k just downtown maybe? tens of thousands for sure. turnout at no kings in june might have been the biggest action in portland in decades but this one is bigger several times over

BREAKING: Our crowd count estimate from the No Kings coalition responsible for planning today’s event is 7 MILLION nationwide. 7 MILLION of you gathered across the country to peacefully protest today. 2 million more than the first No Kings action in June.

No Kings is reporting that 7,000,000 Americans turned out to rally against Trump today. That's over THREE TIMES the number of votes Donald Trump claims to have gotten over Kamala Harris.

Genuinely huge No Kings crowd in Columbus at the Ohio Statehouse, comparable in size to the Black Lives Matter protests here in the summer of 2020 - maybe even larger, though definitely less diverse. And this while a Buckeyes football game is on, even.

Was not prepared for the number of Ford F-150s honking in solidarity ✊ w No Kings marchers today. Never assume you know someone’s politics.

Fact: The federal work force as a percentage of the total work force has been dropping for decades and is now stable at under two percent.

As ineffective as it may feel against ppl who DGAF what the constitution says, you can't fight for order by abandoning order. Now, let's talk about justice.. Justice is the PEOPLE'S fight. Look to history - uprisings, revolutions, oustings... driven by the PEOPLE. Not the electeds. (4/)

Challenge accepted, lol.

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

No, using an em dash a lot isn’t a sign of AI because the em dash is not punctuation, it’s a vibe. It’s a feeling. You don’t use it because it makes grammatical sense — you use it because your heart tells you to. AI couldn’t possibly do it well because it lacks one.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Honestly, I should actually use this abbreviation for real. Start a trend, etm.

Hallmark needs to start making Hallowe’en romances. She’s a gal from the big city seeking a new life in a small town. He’s a mysterious horseman cursed to throw his flaming head at passersby for eternity. And when these two meet one night, sparks, and heads, will fly.

Time to dust off the old 19th century historian hat. In the decades up to WWI, the big dog whistle of the elites was nationalism. It was treated almost like a religious identity, being "of" a place or people. Us vs. them. MAGA playbook = straight outta Victorian absolute monarchy Real original. 😒

Why are you so darn cute, you tiny little girl? 😂 I have things to write, you know! And things to avoid by falling into accidental rabbit holes online! You are thwarting my needs with epic cuteness!

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Might as well make my first post on Bluesky something pretty! Late October photo of fall leaves in my area.
