Racism is still so ingrained and exhausting

WTAF people. I don't let our kids pick flowers from people's yards, that's fucking rude!

I would like to know why CFS is being such a jerk and kicking my ass multiple weeks in a row. It's so rude.

They're great! I've had a full year with them now, online only, and not once has the weekly workout caused a fibro or CFS flare. I still have to pace myself, that's always hard, but for the first time in 30 years I feel like I'm on the road to feeling strong again, eventually.

Realizing that perhaps my crafting spiral is in part fueled by grief. We were lucky to be able to say goodbye to a dear friend but I'm heartbroken that we're losing her so soon.

Got stuck in looking for fabrics for projects mode. No, no, don't "accidentally" buy 10 yards of fabrics again!

You cannot negotiate with facists. You must not comply in advance. Don’t give them the benefit of the doubt. Do not try and reason with them. The phrase “use full force” doesn’t leave much to the imagination.

Do better Governor Kotek. Stand up and fight for your state. Get out there, be seen and let your fellow Oregonians know you care and let the rest of the nation know this is unacceptable and unwanted.

Welp. That's a 104 F temp on SmolAc in the wee hours. Meds, water, cool towel on board.

Winnie Marion spoke at the rally, repping both the @socialists.nyc and @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social's office. She nailed it - saying our reps and all of us need to have a plan for what to do if/when Trump sends soldiers into NYC. We're all gonna stand up for our neighbors, right?

This reporter helped expose the falsity of ICE's narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. His work is a perfect example of why we don't have secret police. Journalists have a constitutional right to cover protests and their aftermath. Release @peoplesfabric.com immediately.

“Steve Held, the journalist arrested tonight and taken to a so far undisclosed location, was part of the reporting team that exposed the falsity of ICE’s official narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas González. His work speaks for itself.”

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

The Trump admin is coming for medication abortion. The goal? Laying the groundwork for a nationwide ban They’re leaning on bogus “safety” claims to justify more rollbacks. Let’s be clear: medication abortion is SAFE. We must defend #MifeInAll50 so politics doesn’t strip away essential care.

Anyone who votes to end birthright citizenship as it is understood now, in defiance of clear law and the tradition they claim to value? They are voting to create a permanent underclass of rightness, stateless people in the United States. They are voting to bring back slavery.

CEO: We'd love to make the risk zero if possible. So you're e2e encrypting, not storing user keys, processing data locally and *maybe* letting people opt-in to more, right? Right? CEO: oh not like that we're just lobbying for laws that make our risk zero.

The fucking clerks are chosen specifically because they will do exactly what the Justices want. You should bully them by calling them fascists and refusing to give Supreme Court clerks special treatment. The Justices are the full and complete problem.

The scandal of the US government trying to whitewash Wounded Knee shouldn’t fade in a day or be triaged into silence. Please stay mindful of it if you have to space on your plate to do so

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

this needs to be hammered into the skulls of every elite individual and institution on every measure - reputationally, financially, morally - you come out better if you fight the guy stand up! it’s the right thing to do and better for you in every way! how often does that happen?

Thread. Th Army has done a lot of bad shit. We do ourselves, and those who serve after us, a grave disservice to revel in those misdeeds as if they were heroic; rather than things we wish were aberrations. (because cruelty is part of humanity such will never vanish, only be shameful, and reduced)

THAT'S HOW BULLIES AND COWARDS WORK *screaming at the white folks in my life who were all "but you can't just expect people to stand up to him!"

“I have advocated, and I still advocate revolutionary change. I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism, and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty.” - Assata Shakur

It's 230 and I still have a full load of work to do. I could just cry

Thread appreciation

TFW it seems like electricity is running through your muscles. Just cuz. Why not. #fibro? #ME/CFS? WhoTFknows?

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

I found out yesterday evening that he's really, really struggling with his health and medical needs now, and they didn't raise anywhere nearly enough to modify his home properly for wheelchair access. Can we fix that, starting tonight? gofund.me/b2f73fdc9

And it's another short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's inventory selections, a recent pin and a ring set with greens similar to the that of the featured work's focal:

anyway you should check him out and maybe if you or someone you like is a cool person who likes Jesus but hates Jesus music because it feels like it's made by people who hate us, maybe buy a CD and toss my friend some bucks this is his latest one, very much an old school protest song

This is not a paid job for me. I’m honored to support the charity, but this fall has been really difficult financially. We could use some travel funds to help us with the trip and final few days of September. www.lilymeade.com/donate 2/2

I have a favor to ask: On Saturday, Mom and I are driving 3 hours each way so I can be the featured author at the Dolly Day 5k charity run in Yakima, WA. The proceeds of this event benefit Dolly Parton’s children’s book charity that sends a book a month from birth to age 5 for ANY family. 1/2

Do y'all know that I made a 2 part podcast about Johnny Cash many years ago with my friend Sam? If you appreciate Cash, you should listen. soundcloud.com/nia_audio/jo...

Now I want a KitKat.

Infinite scream for an entirely other reason that's going to last until Monday afternoon. Two, actually. Cross your fingers I glide through the one thing, impervious, and through the other with even a little bit of grace among the grieving.

I want to thank some of you for taking up our call to meet with your City Council member about funding NYC public libraries. We have over half of the districts covered by at least one person. We still have 25 districts that need a constituent to sign up. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you fight, you can win. If you capitulate, you can't.

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like: -masked secret police kidnapping people off the street -creating concentration camps -attempting to eradicate trans people -banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books -murdering fishermen in open waters

Plan A: Spend the summer at camp hiding from your influencer mother. Plan B: Accidentally break your arm and then blackmail your grumpy skater crush into letting you hide at her house all summer. YOU CAN PREORDER SUMMER OFFICIAL NOW! 🛹🧡🍦 rebekahweatherspoon.... #booksky #romancebooksky

When you are part of a regime that lies like it breathes, then you can't expect people to trust or believe you. It has to be verify but never trust.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

I actually got hours *plural* of sleep and yet my body feels like I spend the night running a marathon. UGH.

All the scream. No reason (all the reasons). So much scream.

So irritable at the world right now. Fucking PEM. Fucking mosquitos.

Just saw a trailer for the dramatization of the Paradise Fire. I knew people impacted by that fire and that feels sick.

They did. I wrote a whole zine about this. queer.archive.work/library/down... - this is why I ignore a lot of people who talk about the Black freedom movement of the 50s and 60s. They don't know anything.
