Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters

"This decision wouldn’t have happened without several weeks of protest and collective action by low-wage workers with Missouri Workers Center and over 20 local immigrant and racial justice, faith, school, environmental, and civil rights groups.” www.kcur.org/news/2026-02...

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Thank you to everyone who stopped by my table at the Madison Maker's Market yesterday! it was so much fun

Each data center can “drink” as much as an entire community. Yet Texas does not require data center operators to disclose projected water use or report actual consumption. This makes research difficult and limits visibility for water-stressed municipalities.

Doing some printing today in preparation for the Madison Makers Market Feb 7th - here is my newest design! I'll be st the Hotel Indigo Madison from noon - 5 :)

This is Minneapolis. Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

I'm reiterating what other Minnesotans are saying: no matter what the news is reporting, nothing has tangibly changed on the ground. ICE is still out patrolling the streets, they're still looking for people to abduct, and they're still threatening observers. Do not let up the pressure.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

My latest Spoonflower Challenge design! www.spoonflower.com/design-chall...

Entering my Luddite era. Not luddite as anti-technology. Luddite as in desiring to work in harmony and honesty with technology I understand and respect and maintain. Luddite as in fighting against those who warp it into monstrosity and leverage it against humanity and community and the common good.

One life eclipses another; Smilodon takes down a whitetail deer. Inspired by petroglyphs, cave art, and ancient Scythian art. It's weird to think that the whitetail deer survived the ice age and made it to the present but many of its predators did not. #art #smilodon #paleontology #rockart #deer

Calibri. Its like. Cornelius Hawthorne levels of racism to call a font created by a Dutch man DEI

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:

I turned off Gemini every way I know how but I cannot figure out how to turn off Remix. Tired of seeing the button for it every time I want to send a photo to my friends

Re-upping this:

I made it through college in part because I had EBT. snap, food stamps, whatever you want to call it.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

I got into star Trek because my mother taped the entirety of Original Series on VHS. For herself. And then we watched it as a family.

I'm so excited to finally share the cover art for my debut novel, Fractures Between! Huge thanks to @karevalgon.bsky.social for her fantastic artwork, and thanks to @lyricdesigns.bsky.social for the titling. #lesfic #sapphicromance #sapphicfiction #sapphfic #wlw #romancenovels #queerromancesd

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

This is so so so so so good. I'm a huge reader of Butler (and sci-fi dystopia in general). This is a peek into Butler's methods for compiling history and psychology and her vast imagination to create such important works of speculative fiction. And that in the dystopia, she signposts a way forward.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

First post!! I'm still new to this. Just wanted to share my artwork!

There's nothing like trying to do a morning meditation while the cat repeatedly shoves you with her cold little nose

Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with *absolutely no basis*, but wait *over a year* to see a judge.

Today is Juneteenth. Instead of erasing the history of this country, we choose to learn, share, and grow. Here's the history of Juneteenth, and why it matters today:
