I just backed Nerd Emergencies on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/par...

Because why not? A handful of my favorite Met Gala looks from tonight, in no particular order.... Amy Seward...amongst all the folks referencing random famous works of art, she referenced HER OWN famous work of art, which is badass. Also, she looks great and I want her bag.

Happy one day late for Earth Day! This is pretty cool. 🌍https://science.nasa.gov/specials/your-name-in-landsat/

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

signs left at alex pretti’s memorial in minneapolis: “i love you so much / i’ll miss you forever” photo with a friend, “i would have done the same. RIP alex,” a stethoscope and “we’ll take it from here, alex” and a tshirt for the minnesota nurses association

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

This is SO AWESOME.

"Portland metro area officials are warning residents about reports of federal immigration officers posing as utility workers to lure people out of their homes.'"

Truly, everybody hit the road! I think this is accurate for my most recent five? The Cure Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Garbage James The Darkness

Oh, hi.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's finally a way to turn off Gen AI crap on Pinterest! In your settings, you go to "refine your recommendations" and then to GenAI interests and you can just unclick them all. This is in a browser, fyi, not sure about the app.

Organizers of the Emergency World Naked Bike Ride plan to hold the protest despite a steady rain forecast, saying: “It's going to be very very wet. Our numbers will be lower but a slight bit of discomfort for us is nothing. Emergency World Naked Bike Ride. Oct 12th. 2:30pm.”

Greetings from war ravaged Portland. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Another approach: Shortly after Wilson's news dropped today, Seattle announced it's suing Trump over his anti-DEI orders.

Yes, because if there's a sure pattern we've all seen again and again, it's that if you give in to a bully over the first small thing, they totally go away and don't come back for bigger far worse things now that you've shown how weak you are.

Good morning. 💅

This is very good. "His deftness in removing the specter of violence from his own narrative is a reminder of the ways violence against women is normalized."

Well this just absolutely delighted me to no end. Did not have Franz Ferdinand bringing out Peter Capaldi on my Glastonbury BINGO card. youtu.be/A1KNCAgkpko?...

Same, so much for a nice Saturday afternoon nap. 😩

Ugh, not us, but a whole lot of folks I know right across Foster are sitting in hot, dark houses tonight. Oof.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Already love Wildfang stuff, so thinking Finn and I might each need one of these tees by Vivian Wilson. Can't go wrong when 100% of the proceeds go to the Trevor Project. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ www.wildfang.com/products/viv...

Did I find a great lamp this weekend, or the greatest lamp? 🥕🐰

My friend is doing a good thing you could pitch in and help support!

cishet allies who think they are well-meaning will often tell LGBTQIA+ people “just reach out! have a conversation!” with unaffirming family/friends to express how their actions impact us. as shown here, this can frequently result in exhaustion or even harm to us, and ZERO changed behavior from them

Happy Saturday from these dorks. 🐶🐱

Spent some time sorting through some old boxes and found some very random treasures. Behold!

On this Tuesday morning I will bestow upon you a (likely controversial yet still true) PDX secret. They have been quietly making the best fries in Portland at The Limelight since 1999.

In love with this little dude I found in an antique shop today. He’s got a “Made in USSR” sticker on the bottom. 🥺🍄

It’s a rainy, blustery Sunday and this is my current view.💗

This! This happens to me a lot. I want to engage and share engagement over here, but it's just not.....HERE. Handles have been reserved, but aren't being used. And some fun pop culture feeds only post a teensy fraction of their content here compared to Twitter.
