If you are an NYC resident, a simple action you can take is to call your Council member to ask them to sign on. There's a script you can use here: bit.ly/42Ufxb5

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

While I would like to advise you this is incredibly difficult to read, my dear friend’s young nephew is fighting for his life right now and any donations or shares are deeply appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/help-dawso...

Nandy, a 22-year-old in Kentucky, has Type 1 Diabetes. Foods he's supposed to eat are more expensive, he said. He goes to Walmart and Kroger trying to find lowest prices. He's been eating one meal a day to stretch food out. It's impacting his health: “It’s like a death sentence for people like me”

I hate having to do this but I’m desperate. I’ve been looking everyday for work but nothing is biting. I’m down $80 and I can’t afford my very needed meds and I definitely can’t afford my home when the first comes next month. I’m drowning in medical debt. Anything helps.

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

Making this the 🧵 for publicity appearances for POPCORN DISABILITIES. Be sure to bookmark to find out where I'm going to be in promoting the book and the various great people who have allowed me to talk about the movie this month.

UPDATED: One woman has been found dead in the village of Kwigillingok, where another two people remain unaccounted for, after a devastating storm battered Western Alaska over the weekend.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

Rest in peace :(

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

I'm seeking someone who has/is teaching People's First Aid in NYC. If you know people, please let me know. I have a slot available for Communiversity in November and would love to invite someone to facilitate such a workshop.

Things are very dark for Nawal and Jamal. If you can donate or if you know how to get someone out of Gaza to get medical care, please help if you can. chuffed.org/project/supp...

Why Josephine County Library (OR) was evicted from their long-time library space over $1. It has nothing to do with money. It has to do with far-right politics and deep hatred for the library's inclusive ethos. bookriot.com/josephine-co...

Hello folks, I am in need of non-fiction recommendations for: + Indigenous histories (esp from Canada & the Philippines) + Black history + Black Studies + Queer histories (esp from Canada and the Philippines) + Radicalization + Critical Race Theory Signal boost pls.

Please stop calling it a "political assassination."Charlie Kirk wasn't elected to anything, and calling it that elevates him to something he wasn't. It was not an assassination. It was a murder.

Just looked up out of curiosity and turns out I was on Charlie Kirk’s Professor Watchlist. Am I supposed to mourn the person who spent the last six years trying to end my academic career? He wouldn’t mourn my death: he tried to accelerate my death! www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/st...

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

You may have seen our story about the impact the detention of a child care worker had on her Seattle community. She recently told me what happened to her & her family in detention. “In those detention centers, there are many families who are innocent. We were innocent.” 19thnews.org/2025/09/fami...

bitches get stitches!!!!
