Still thinking about the most delicious morning sun shadows captured in this teeny diorama at @toyandminiaturemuseum.org.web.brid.gy

Counterpoint not taking the attacks against our bodily autonomy seriously enough for five decades got us the fascism.

Just got a great set of emails from the FBI.

i saw goody proctor making inflammatory posts about charlie kirk

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Etta Semple in 1901 essentially saying "touch grass you freaks"

I remember when Dr. David Gunn was murdered in 1993, and Dr. George Tiller was shot that same year and then killed in his church in 2009, so um.

UC Berkeley betrayed their own faculty, including Jewish academics like Judith Butler, to the Trump administration www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

So many 'progressive' orgs behave like this and it sucks. People work here because they believe the work is important and they get treated like garbage while their employers talk a big public game about how great they are.

me, living in a society made to make me feel exhausted and crazy: wow why do I feel exhausted and crazy

"Traumas abound in our society, & the many disasters ahead are sure to leave an ever greater number of people feeling traumatized. Navigating a crisis—or even a misstep by an organizer or activist—is much more difficult with unchecked trauma responses ricocheting around a room." 🙃🙃🙃 - Chapter 5

RIP Etta Semple - you would have loved Simone de Beauvoir.

basic human rights are not something u put up to debate like some influencer game show shit

“A good work ethic is nothing compared to the inner confidence of a man who has never been taught to doubt himself and has no reason to consider that he might ever be wrong.” @maris.bsky.social GIRL. The way I almost slipped in my shower hearing this. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Finally dropped into my university’s natural history museum and I’m obsessed with this guy.

no more educational material for your children. just poisonous right wing slop.

Women gender and sexuality studies departments soon unable to acknowledge the existence of “women” “gender” or “sexuality” which I know is the point but also sounds like the premise of an SNL skit

TY to @ineedana.bsky.social for this timely and valuable resource: How can my immigration status affect abortion access? A guide for noncitizens and our communities. www.ineedana.com/blog/how-can...

This week it was Amplify summer camp in LFK. Campers learn an instrument, form bands, write and learn their own song from scratch, record it, and perform it all in the span of a week. Tonight was the showcase and I am so in awe of these queer and trans cuties, their music, and the LFK community. 💕

‪Crew aboard the Handala includes Amazon union organizer Chris Smalls. The ship is attempting to bring much needed food and supplies into Gaza.

Citing its anti-abortion Mexico City policy, the Trump admin is spending $167K to send contraceptives (not abortifacients) worth nearly $10M to France to be burned, rather than sending them to poor nations or selling them to a repro health nonprofit to distribute www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

I once had a member of an advisory committee that I led email not me but my BOSS about my pattern of speech. Specifically about the way my voice goes up at the end of sentences. Some of y’all really have too much free time to be writing emails like this.

This is Gaza, now, I just watched an elderly man die, collapse, in a food queue, just as he was about to be served. People are, literally, dropping dead of starvation. The world must not stand idly by. Gaza has not known what you call “freedom” in, close to 80 years. The world must act.

A call to action from Etta Semple in the Dec 14 1901 issue of the Freethought Ideal and Vindicator

Just a girl with a bag of bbq potato chip crumbs and a dream

join an org in your neighborhood to combat despair. bring someone some food. make some art about your pain. distraction doesnt work forever, okay?

The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, CA. Other workers, including US citizens, remain unaccounted for. UFW staff is on the ground supporting impacted families. Our full statement below. ⬇️ 1/

what the actual fuck is this, JSTOR?

All I wanted was to finish my PSLF and buy a little house and plant a little garden. My dreams are so small and they're still unattainable

But for the arbitrary nature of birth and circumstance, any of us could be living in poverty, dependent upon assistance to put food on the table, to take our children to the doctor, and to pull ourselves out of debt. The lack of empathy, the pure callousness on display in this bill, is infuriating.

US contractors say their colleagues are firing live ammo as Palestinians seek food in Gaza.

I don’t want to see a single dem party email asking me to ‘chip in’ without telling me they’re putting that cash directly into social services and community aid.

This bill is going to harm millions of Americans right now but we won’t know the true toll for years. It’s time for Democratic leaders, donors, and organizations to use their dollars to fill the gaps Trump is creating: fund clinics, stock food banks, protect communities.

The plan is mass death, over and over and over again

We are living in a new gilded age, @timothyaschuler.bsky.social writes. Today's billionaires and technofascists threaten to rob the American public of the things we hold in common. "We should hold onto them with all our power." 🗣️

I LOVE THIS SHIT.

The people most rabid about what they see as the evils of diversity have insulated themselves from ever having to interact with people different from them—unless they are being served or catered to. In other words: They are boring know-nothings.

Read books in between doomscrolling. Make stuff & then give it away. Watch shit that makes you laugh. Protect your neighbors. Do things that make evil people sad. Stay alive.

The victim was not the subject of any warrant, but just a random grab based on racial profiling. He was in the process of applying for citizenship. That means he had no criminal record as was here legally as a permanent resident. santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

All my Kansas homies hate Mike Pompeo.

My heart is with my Iranian friends and their families. May everyone live.

Is it a good time to talk about Christian Zionism yet? Because I feel like I’m not seeing enough about Christian Zionism’s influence on every Middle East decision made by the the US. Luckily @swordsjew.bsky.social has done just that. Feels like an especially important read in this moment.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.
