A lot of pressure you feel is because you've internalised external pressures. You don't have to be cruel to yourself. Once you practice compassion for yourself, you can practice compassion with other people beautifully no matter who, when or which situation. 🧡🖤 #OccultSky #PaganSky

Pro tip: The fruits of journalling can be reaped in non-traditional ways. It doesn't have to in a physical book, or solitary. Find someone you trust who shows you unconditional love to witness your process and you may find your melodies sound sweeter than ever. 🖤🧡 #OccultSky #PaganSky

This World AIDS Day, let's not forget that Musk cancelling USAID & PEPFAR has led to 600,000 deaths and countless preventable HIV infections. These cuts could lead to 10.8 million HIV infections & 2.9 million deaths by 2030. We have the medicine to stop this. This is death by policy choice:

Poor people in the United States are a primary target for policing, especially those forced to live on the streets. Data shows that more than 40% of unhoused people booked into jail were booked again within the year.

It seems a few Leftists are now discovering for the first time that the radical Right is also anti-establishment, and so if you squint at a few of its positions, from a tiny angle, they can kinda sound like our own. Don't get too excited! Learn about the 'three-way fight'

I want to stop and thank everybody for the tremendous help. Many of you know that I have health issues that have cost me quite a lot. And thanks to the the GOP, It’s gonna get worse. I appreciate everyone’s help, so much. I am 1/3 of the way to goal because of you. gofund.me/ac62392db

We have so much potential: for peace and war, for kindness and cruelty, for wisdom and folly, for love and hate. If we see with open eyes both what is and what can be, we can choose our path forward every day—what to pursue and what to oppose. We cannot shirk this responsibility.

Are you harnessing all of your power? A simple call to Congress can be so powerful when we all do it: 202-224-3121. As a survivor of sexu@l assauIt, I must share this story to shed light on #ICELawlessness. Please save & share the videos in this thread & examine the threat of ICE & imposters.

From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re saying “We Ain’t Buying It” and asking Americans to hit pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=ind_wabi

If you still wear a mask at all, even just when sick or at the hospital or on public transit, THANK YOU! If you still try to isolate or protect others when you are sick, THANK YOU. If you still test for COVID when you have any symptoms, THANK YOU.

Hey there, its Gabriel. We're asking for assistance with buying groceries for this coming week as we've been slow with our art lately. Everything helps us out immensely. ko-fi.com/starhowling

ko-fi.com/chaosfennec really need some help again or I might be expelled from my apartment ;-; I didn't know my situation was that bad but apparently I've been late with many rent payments

Would be cool if we actually studied women's hormones at all.

being hypermobile and having shoulders is such bullshit. what do you MEAN i have to constantly work to keep them where they need to be???

I know lots of people are looking for Etsy alternatives so I just want to mention that so far I’ve really enjoyed Mayhem Marketplace. They seem committed to making sure that the makers take home most of their money, they have a firm no AI stance, and they have humans looking at all the applications

[still mad] so there's all this "your identity is important! be proud of it!" and at the same time "tell us what it is based on this extremely reductive set of categories" and also "no, no that way, if your identity doesn't fit the way we interpret the categories you're dishonest"

My mom recently: “I felt like the worst parent in that moment.” I restrained myself from agreeing. I have small wrists, so not much swelling. But they’re delicate, and hypermobile. When a kid says something hurts, don’t pretend like it’s nothing.

Today is brought to you by a whole passel of painkillers, a lot of caffeine, and my continued dislike of hot weather and its effects on my joints (namely the fact that it makes them a fuck of a lot more slippery than they usually are, and I'm already hypermobile).

Here's a gift link to the piece about how the world's richest man decided to kill the world's poorest children. wapo.st/3GjK8qn

“The transition seems radical and unrealistic because fossil fuel companies have been so good at making it seem so.”

We still have a major communication issue regarding extreme #heat, particularly when the news media use photos of beaches or children playing in water fountains. #climatechange

Happy Survival Day to my fellow First Nations people and to my Inuit and Métis friends. We’re still here.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

You don’t need to earn rest.

Corporate criminals steal billions and get a slap on the wrist fine, while someone shoplifting food faces harsher punishment. The system isn’t broken, it’s rigged.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

(FWIW, it's not true that we need to "turn" MAGA people to be successful in any movement. We just need to mobilize the rest of us. However, if you're dead set on trying, it's really a job for the nonmarginalized to take on. Us sitting around trying to convince them not to kill us is not useful 🤷🏻)
