A couple of years old, but fun. 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/prim...

We have a neighborhood-wide porch fest getting ready to kick off in my hood. I'm making myself some whiskey spiked madam grey tea and getting ready to go walk around and meet more of my neighbors. Partying with your neighbors IS COMMUNITY BUILDING 💗

Average folks kettled ICE

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid. A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

ICE is STILL stuck inside the parking garage in lower Manhattan, and they seem pretty grumpy about it.

Nature is crazy.

Hey everyone, I hate asking again, but the movers we hired ripped my family off. Quoted us about $4k then extorted another almost $4k. I’m sick from overwork, will have to miss work to recover and we’re down a lot more than planned. See quoted posted below for donation links. Anything helps.

🇵🇸 Palestine was. Palestine is. Palestine will be. You can steal land, bomb homes, and erase maps but you will never erase the soul of a people who bloom like poppies through the cracks. 🇵🇸 Viva Palestine

Thank you to everybody organizing, posting, marching or protesting on International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Remember this:

This is a fantastic longread on a community in Oregon that was wrestling with a groundwater contamination crisis...and then Amazon moved in and made it so much worse. It's also an interesting story on how a Republican rancher/elected officials got radicalized by that crisis.

Former CIA chief Susan Miller admits the U.S. and Israel treated Al-Qaeda factions in Iraq/Syria as tools against Assad and Iran, even holding meetings with Al-Qaeda to coordinate joint operations. There you have it. Plain as day.

burnt out // reigniting

A calm & quiescent Thanksgiving Day in CA, weather-wise, with warm & mostly sunny conditions outside of Central Valley & parts of North Bay--where widespread tule fog is keeping things chillier (as predicted). Temps into 70s SoCal & 60s NorCal above fog layer (50s beneath). #CAwx

They did it again! NYC subway Thanksgiving 2025, via @scootercaster.com!

This is fascinating and disturbing

I didn't know this. One reason the loss of ACA Marketplace subsidies is hurting people so badly, after the Democrats caved, is that the Biden administration had overseen a massive push of poor people off of Medicaid and into the Marketplace.

So, @jay.bsky.team and @aaron.bsky.team are telling us who they are. We should believe them.

Reinstate Goran NOW. Literally the only thing he's ever used his platform for is posting cool art and fundraising for people trying to survive a genocide.

It’s not enough that Gazans have been stripped of their land, their homes, and a lifetime of hard work even education has been taken from them. Education was the one thing Gazans held on to the most; our parents sold everything they owned so we could learn.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we haven’t reached our goal. Any amount helps cover groceries and hot meals already ordered. Since 2020 we’ve delivered real support when no one else would. Paterson is depending on us. Please donate and share. www.gofundme.com/f/support-bl...

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th. Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

The tent is wonderful, a testament to people's generosity, but I really want them all in winter clothes 😔

Please help Alma if you are able 🙏

Los Angeles ➡️ Chicago ➡️ Charlotte ➡️ New Orleans ➡️ ??? As ICE and Border Patrol invade more American cities, local communities are sharing tips about how to respond and defend their rights. FPF's @seth-stern.bsky.social and @adamrose.bsky.social offer perspective:

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

Really fascinating blog post about the plants that Neanderthals cooked and ate (the real "paleo diet" included a lot of grains, pulses, and other plants!).

All I’m saying is… please donate to Lenée if you can. If you cannot, and you still know Lenée well enough and/or have access or leads to people with liquid funds who want to do a mitzvah, please share this Go Fund Me.

I seriously just unfollowed someone for saying Rogue One was a bad movie. NOPE. It is THE BEST Star Wars movie that then gave birth to the BEST THING to ever come from the Star Wars universe, Andor.

Today in space news...

It’s like we are dinosaurs listening to the advice of an incoming asteroid.

good to know!

Money, get back. I’m all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack. Money, it’s a hit. Don’t give me that do goody good bullshit. I’m in the high-fidelity first class traveling set And I think I need a Lear jet. Money, it’s a crime. Share it fairly but don’t take a slice of my pie.

it's wild to think that about one CEO ago ago, people were looking at Google and Apple as brands they wore in their personal lives as badges of honour and in the space of less time than it takes a cicada to mature the consensus is now that they are the enemy of public safety

My mom said from Raleigh that people there were squaded up against ICE & ICE is leaving Raleigh & Durham tomorrow. She said there were trainings at churches for ICE watch & all kinds of things. She said "these are our people & ICE is not welcome." Alright mommy!

I am a one issue voter and that issue is genocide. If you cannot oppose genocide and fight against it with the power you seek then I do not give a fuck what banner you run under, you will never get my vote.

If you want to help a family with a brand new fundraiser Amani and her boys are a good choice ❤️

This is not law enforcement it’s a slave catching militia

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Despite the occupation of Israel, Palestinians made Gaza beautiful. They made Universities and are considered amongst the most educated populations on earth. It's like bombing Perth or Sydney because a few people the state hates live there. We could be next

Esther Perel the gawdess. Full episode is here and she also talks about marriage, why relationships fade, amongst a whole lot of stuff: youtu.be/knPNvjK6OsQ?...
