🌠 Here's our hopeful ask for Wintermas gifts: Shared list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... Mouse's List: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... Wylder's List: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... Food wishlist (we're struggling): www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... #MutualAid Our hopes are with you, interweb folk!

Giving direct aid to people in need is a good thing to do, *and* it's only one of many ways to support marginalized people's survival. Different people can do the work in different ways, and that's ok. No one person should be obligated to do everything.

The way some people talk about direct aid (which they call mutual aid, but that's another rant for another day, lol) feels like holding up individual actions as the solution to systemic problems.

Fascism isn't a disease. Fascism isn't a disability. Fascism isn't a lack of education. Fascism isn't foreign. Fascism is a defence of established power and privilege through the dehumanisation of anyone that challenges it.

Less than $75 to go to reach $3,000! Thanks so much to everyone who's sharing and supporting! Please help us reach that goal, and our final one, and support a worker-run trans newsroom. Everything helps.

Systems are not broken, they are working as intended - to exploit the poor and funnel money to the rich.

In fact, leave that shit up through the Big Dark. Twinkle lights in late January are a necessity.

This cat loves this dog so much, it is almost obscene

QRP to reintroduce yourself! Hi ! I'm Rine, a queer artist from France and I make paper flowers 🌿

Tomorrow is Bluestockings's last day open! If you've been holding off and have a chance to go, NYC, now's your last chance!

I love this SO much! This is what we mean when we say New York is the greatest city in the world (and I say that as someone who lives in Boston, lol).

Hello everyone, hope that you had a Merry Christmas & are having a good holiday season so far. Just dropping in to share a couple of photos from the toy drive we hosted on 12/20. Thanks to some of you here, we collected almost 800 toys and teen gifts. Truly amazing!! So many happy kids & families.

much like a banana, my dick is also curved, produces no seed, is bright yellow, people disagree on which end its supposed to peel from,

This!! The fight against AI is part of the broader fight against the ruling classes who are literally destroying our ability to live on this planet. There's no such thing as "going too far" in trying to stop them.

Also just now posting this great conversation I had with Anna Elena Torres and Kenyon Zimmer about the history, and present, of Jewish anarchism and its role in building an alternative vision for American Jewish life. maiseh-review.ghost.io/re/

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Merry Christmas and light in the darkness to everyone celebrating. Sending a particular wish that we can protect all the worshippers who are being targeted by state violence tonight.

Yesterday and today, neighbors rallied to protect churches celebrating Christmas services. Separately, neighbors engaged in mutual aid delivered food, Christmas presents, and support to neighbors afraid to leave their homes Tomorrow, we’ll do it all again.

It’s day 25 of the ICE invasion of the Twin Cities. The surge continues in the Twin Cities with very high activity from ICE- and also incredibly high activity from rapid responders. Hundreds of neighbors patrolled today all over the Twin Cities to keep their neighbors safe.

Trans News Network is doing great work - support them if you can!

Thinking about the liberals I know who have built their whole political philosophy around just getting to 3.5% so that, through magic and the power of love, Trump will be banished to the Dark Dimension

its infuriating to watch these politicians run on leftist bases only to turn around and continue the same cycle of relentlessly punishing the unhoused for simply existing

this week's post is something i've been working on for a long time, and is a little guide to living the good life. Or it's early aughts punk nostalgia. Or it's my response to tradwife culture. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/the-punk-r...

we actually don't need to throw people under the bus! it's good to stand up for BIPOC and trans people! if someone's changing sides, they gotta cope with our bottom lines. dropping principles is bad and unnecessary!

Four years ago today, Asheville police arrested fellow Blade journalist Veronica Coit and me for doing our job covering the eviction of a homeless encampment in a city park. While our legal suit plays out, the Blade’s work as a co-op goes on. We’re raising money to survive in 2026. Support us here

I feel I can short circuit a lot of my interest in online debate and drama by simply reminding myself "I'm not in community with this person (either the OP or the person being discussed), and if I was, I would be no longer"

Christ on a bike, this is brilliant. And disgustingly historically accurate. 10/10

This is a great, comprehensive debunking of Erica Chenoweth's popular myths about non-violent protest. I also recommend @petergelderloos.bsky.social's rebuttal of Chenoweth's work: roarmag.org/essays/cheno...

I don’t know. I think becoming a billionaire breaks brains. It probably helps if you become one after maturing into a functional human first - which isn’t the case of those guy - but I suspect even then the best thing you can do for your mental health is get rid of most of it asap.

My take, wealthy & middle class see it as a great investment building a bubble of wealth. AI being hyped as much as possible. Ultimately revenue won’t match expectations. The wealthy will get a heads up, cash out at the peak of the market, bubble bursts, middle class loses again like the 90’s

On this, and multiple other fights against our enemies, people really need to take the part of themselves conditioned to handwring about "going too far," put a stake in it and bury it deep.

In case of racist uncles or dead moms or someone saying "only two genders" or your gifts didn't arrive on time or you have a tummy ache or this day is just awkward and you wish it was over: Arlo loves you as you are. You can be okay anyway and it's okay to not be okay. Happy Thursday!

Some people you defeat, not convince.

always after he explained what he believed as a Jew, he was barraged by emails from concerned students asking why he didn't believe Jesus was the son of God. And he said, "Well there's a very simple answer to why I don't believe Jesus is the son of God." "Because he's not."

Happy Chinese Food and Movies Day to all who celebrate!

No borders, no nations, healthcare for everyone in the whole fucking world.

The right-wing coalition in America is splintering, and badly. Strategists and cultural workers on the Left in the Global North and beyond should be paying attention - this is an important opportunity.

Until we reckon with the fact that trans women's lives and bodies and experiences actually matter, that they actually tell us something about how violence happens on a SYSTEMIC level and is erased and offloaded on a SYSTEMIC level, then we will never get rid of intimate and family violence at all

Two years ago today, the three of us began Crips for eSims for Gaza. Alice, are you reading this? (We know you are.) Today, we’re launching something special we’ve been working on, & we’re grateful Alice was able to see before her passing: our official logo! #ConnectingGaza @thellpsx.bsky.social

don't forget to show some citrus to your cat on christmas

Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ 🔭🧪🐡🎨

I've been thinking about this a lot too. Fat people are often also excluded from immigrating to countries with universal healthcare.
