This is a parody of an IWW anti-KKK poster made at the hate group's height in the 1920s. Today's occupying Federal forces are an outgrowth of the KKK and other white supremacist groups. One emulates the antique paper look of the original, the other is black and white to be printed out and posted.

augh, today's conflicting access needs moment: thinking about going to a (lefty klezmer!) concert but the only seated option is for people ordering food and i can't stand up for hours and try to very rarely take off my mask inside and do they have any my-food-restrictions-safe food on the menu and--

HEY PITTS OF BURGH

Oh hmm hello pain I’ve been ignoring, nice (?) to see you

True love (he got me the gf cheezits) (they’re great)

CARROT CARDIGAN ESTA AQUI i gotta go down and get it but it here

Good afternoon I am having some chen pi shoumei, a lower caffeine white tea to give me a little oomph and citrus goodness www.fridaytea.com/products/che...

New tea pets just dropped! Those of y'all waiting for more crows (including the ones with adorbs winter gear), now is your chance! These always fly away quickly, so I wouldn't wait if I were you... www.fridaytea.com/products/cro...

contemplating joining a tea club for monthly surprise nice teas....it is reasonable cost from a reputable vendor...but i don't love EVERY tea just MOST teas...and i have enough tea...but surprise special treats....and i could always unsubscribe...and Feb's is particularly relevant to my interests...

i seem to be incidentally learning a lot about the inadequacies of the 1972 clean water act—it only covers 2.7% of the total length of all rivers. It also came up in the disabled ecologies book about not covering underground aquifers.

Things are.... Extremely bad. Maybe you need Girl Scout cookies? digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/miriam... (It's the best I've got in the grim today.)

Sharing in case you, like me, need this word gift from Howard Zinn: "If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, it energizes us to act...1/3

I am Going to Scream

I keep thinking about the burned synagogue in Jackson, MS and being like “how do I talk about this in jewsletter / this will be misused by right wingers to restrict everyone’s rights despite being done by a Christian nationalist”

This year, we celebrate queer speculative disability poetry w/the series "Infinite Branches". We put four groups of poets in conversation. Please enjoy the first installment, Petra Kupper's "Blackberry Ball" magazine.interstella...

Lunch is tyranny, lunch is disruption, lunch is me personally being targeted by Big Scheduling, I hate it, why must the body require it

Good morning! I am doing required accessibility training and setting up a gaiwan brewing of She Graduates, a raw puerh from white2tea from the big bag o' minis. First steep thoughts: a little dry, a little fruity. Check out steepster for more ratings/reviews from the 2024 pressing if you're curious!

Devoting today to my 483947 required trainings (some new, some annual)

Here are some nice mushrooms

RELATEDLY, Interstellar Flight are looking for essays on queer, disabled, spec topics to run parallel to these pieces in 2026. If you have an idea or a piece, submit! (I am not the editor/facilitator for these, but you have my best wishes.) www.interstellarflightpress.com/submissions....

Also @interruptcrim.bsky.social put out a new IC resource on the multitude of ways we can defend our communities and disrupt the execution of ICE’s cruel agenda: Block It! Don’t Build It. Don’t Fill It. Don’t Fuel It. www.interruptingcriminalization.com/block-it

We just met.

and--i'm tired of the horrors but i'm glad people are speaking out and pushing back--and because of jewsletter work i had to look at the burned down synagogue from last week while figuring out what to write about it--and i'm supposed to go join book club and i Don't Want To but see below

i understand why feminists are talking about, ah, embodied sexism as specifically experienced by people who can or could get pregnant. they are not wrong to do so. this is shitty sexism. AND ALSO boy am i getting the gender heebie jeebies about getting swept up into woman/women category!

Incredible: The legendary Gourmet magazine is being revived as a worker-owned publication because the legal geniuses at Conde Nast forgot to renew their trademark and these good folks snapped it up: gourmetmagazine.net

okay finished work. goals: * rest a little. * do some jewsletter work (i am behind where i would like to be; goes out friday) * dinner * go to zoom disability book club (optional, but i'd like to)

i'm like three levels deep into "what if i procrastinated [thing i don't want to do] by doing [other productivity] instead" and none of it is actually happening. None's immediate-level crucial so it's fine, but...!

I don’t know how to exist in the world!!! I feel like an answer to this would be “just keep trying” but aaaaaa. Usually I leave the house or take a nap about this feeling but neither is open to me right now

I have a budding theory that ableism and antisemitism are actually alike in some key ways and this is one of them (though I really would not call it a privilege)

you can tell it’s winter bc I’ve switched from eating like a 3 year old to eating like a medieval peasant (Stews beans grain porridge). A commonality: cheese snack

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

Good morning! I am having a phoenix oolong from enthea teahouse that I got at northwest tea fest! I am almost out of this tea--2nd to last dose of it currently in the gaiwan--and it's been a great standby to have, bridging a roasty oolong feel and lighter rounder tones of the honeyed aspect

More spring peach yancha 👀

Why am I getting Xmas tree ads it is January

she grab @tekgo.org

it is SIX THIRTY? that cant be right. it feels like bedtime

A muscle in my head is twitching and I feel like a mess but I bought (stupid expensive) tickets to visit my parents in February

It’s fine! I’m gonna rest, I did stuff yesterday and this id likely a consequence of that. I’m gonna keep doing stuff when I can, I’m gonna go to Las Vegas in a month and change and see my parents and maybe some desert nature then.

The disability do be disabling sometimes!!!

A lot of things feel hopeless and it’s disability feelings tied up with seasonal depresh tied up with (mini osha in my head) “the fascism, boss” and I’m getting through and it’s fine but aaaaaaaaa

Anyone have suggestions for fun (nerdy/tea/??) stuff to do in or near las Vegas? I’m probably gonna visit my parents and want to put together some ideas for activities to do that aren’t just sitting in their house

I did something weird to my lower back or hips so they have been increasingly hurting and now I am resting horizontally in between work tasks, ugh. At least I don’t have any more sitting up that needs to happen once I finish work.
