When I talk about bad shit happening in my community, I mean this stuff.

also *had* bees and butterlfies. They've moved on until next year. We got to raise this beautiful dude over the summer.

Been very offline so I can manage the bad shit in front of me and in my community. But I got married to my partner of 17 years this summer and my garden has lots of bees and swallowtail caterpillars. Beautiful things do still exist. People are organizing.

Please keep sharing. Donate if you’re able to.

My dear friend and fellow grumpy ecosocialist @savewildbees.bsky.social passed away a few days ago. I'm so damned sad. Please plant native wildflowers. Grow a pollinator patch. Bumblebees are precious and worth all our effort to save.

Who are the climate justice activists/groups most visibly participating in the anti-ICE protests? Would like to speak with them for a story

people who compliment my eye makeup skills might rethink their praise if they knew how often I straight up jabbed myself in the eye.

trying to play dnd here

pretty irritated, as a professional shit-disturber, by how many people are saying "no, change doesn't happen via shit-disturbing. it happens by sitting on your thumbs passively."

Hi, pardon me, hello: mass protest in the face of fascism is a great idea and in fact the only thing that works to actually combat it. anyone saying otherwise is an idiot. sorry, i cannot anymore with this shit. do the fucking reading!

stop reporting Palestinian accounts . you fucking cunts

ngl this map of scheduled protests for this weekend is *wild*

If you’ve never been to a protest and you’re watching coverage with trepidation, I urge you—if you can—to challenge yourself to turn out for one. There’s anger, for sure, but the overwhelming feeling is joy in your community, admiration of your neighbors, and the real power of numbers.

I would like every single person who says people are evil and compliant and deserve bad things (unkindly) to be quiet forever. You are wrong. Sit down.

oh my god I'm agreeing with Will Stancil... 😶

I mean it - we can win. I'm working with so many people right now fighting displacement and we are winning. We're keeping people housed. Fighting for each other is how we survive and thrive.

I know people can be exhausted but people are also joyous and wonderful. Working and organizing with my colleagues gives me hope. "Everything worthwhile is done with other people."

the issue is not just ICE. we can live free and safe. or we can have police like we have right now. we cannot do both

As we have seen in the past week in Minneapolis (and are now seeing in Los Angeles), our federal government is actively working against residents in cities like ours. This is why it’s so vital that state and municipal governments work together to do everything we can to safeguard our residents.

Wrote this in the summer of 2020, definitely a good sign to be dusting it off now. "Less lethal" weapons are tools of colonial occupation marketed to police, and tools of police marketed to colonial soldiers. Anti-civilian weapons more than "less-lethal" www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

Elon Musk is choking a black community with air pollution to run a racist chatbot on a right-wing social media site. The next phase will double the gas turbines. A short vid on a dataset I found showing the scale of this problem Part 1 below, or full on YT here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrQC...

I agree more violence is coming. But I hate the racist undertones of how it’s talked about— implying that poor people will be driven to violent outbursts by tropical heat disregulating their emotions. Global heating is a result of violent capitalist inequalities; that then causes more violence.

I'm running both of my air purifiers and I put an N95 on when I go outside. Air particulates are no joke.

Please share. My friend Mahdi is sharing his Twitter posts here. His account keeps getting deleted on this platform. He thankfully made it through. I told him I would help use my reach to boost here. See my pinned tweet to help him if you are able to.

This is a minor point in this (excellent) piece but I also can relate to how becoming a father turbo charges an already existing sense of utter (out)rage at slaughter like this. I recall seeing a video about a Palestinian boy named Jood (my son is named that, tho spelled differently) and nearly…

I helped stop the evictions. And it's looking good for the other 10 cases. I'm exhausted lol

Trying to get 100 people to send in written testimony by Thursday 5/29 on why RI should tax the rich bc that's where the money is docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I helped stopped the evictions of 15 people yesterday and it's looking for the other other 10 whose cases haven't been dismissed. Fighting works. It fucking works.

I am supporting 25+ people on Monday who are being mass evicted in bad faith. I've been working alongside their organizing for more than a year now. I am dealing with my feelings by feeding them.

Why invest in carbon capture scams when you can invest in sea otters? 🦦

I am still here. Navigating a shitstorm of political fuckery here locally and in the province. But I am still here. If you were interested, look up bills 5 and 6 that the Ontario govt is trying to pass. Human rights and environmental devastation brought by the Ford govt.

accelerationism is not synonymous with escalation. fedposting is only impressive to the feds monitoring a massive dragnet waiting to find people to scoop up. you’re not a hero or a martyr getting locked up over posts. please stop running head first into the meat grinder.

i am thinking about how many people who came into activism through this movement, who were too young or disconnected to really see or experience the repression from 2020, and who are about to get their shit rocked because anon accounts online are encouraging them to talk way too hot.

If you’re looking for a good organization to support, @csldf.org does really good work, and has been an important resource for the climate community for decades.

This wrecked me. Please read it so it can wreck you too.

... uh huh...

Separatist movement on stolen land? Numerous First Nations and Indigenous bands are telling Premiere Danielle Smith if she breaks Alberta's treaties she's going to have a reckoning. They could shut down supplies within weeks by blocking shipping routes.

Can we please stop talking about Trump (or anyone else's) IQ? IQ is racist, eugenicist, quack science bullshit.

Clarification: I do not like Pierre Pollievre. He's a troll. I also do not like most economists.
