The framing from legacy media on the Ms Rachel stuff is insane. Nowhere do they say that these are baseless claims, or that what she said (every child's life is precious and worthy) is not "Hamas propaganda." If u didn't know the background to this story and saw this post, you'd believe their smear

Blacked out at Joann’s today (rip old gal, we loved ya) and left with 36oz of loose glitter ✨

Last year, Republicans silenced her. This year, many stood beside her and defeated four anti-trans bills. This is the power of standing up for your beliefs and for what's right, and good trouble. National Democrats, take notice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

wore some of my friendship bracelets for good vibes when opposing SJ 15 this morning, and it was thankfully tabled in committee! Good riddance, and deep gratitude to every brave person who spoke up in opposition today 💚🏳️‍🌈

creepy storybook villains have introduced SJ15 in MT, calling on the Supreme Court to reverse Obergfell. It will be heard Monday 3/3 @ 7am -join me in reminding them that queer people make MT great & that their platform of smallness & hate will never win bills.legmt.gov#/laws/bill/2... #mtpol #mtleg

between all the pearl clutching fake morality censorship nonsense and the reminder that we don’t ever really own digital media, I’m back on my book buying bullshit. happily picked up all these used books in the last few weeks (abebooks.com, my local used bookstore, and a book club swap!)

are you kiddddddding me, OF COURSE I’m going to get deeply into women’s rugby this year. Between a team called the Banshees and Ilona Maher, how could I not?

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

(yall gotta stop ceding ground to puritans. don't give them stickers or mpaa ratings or "mature" sections or "clean" imprints. they don't get a little censorship, as a treat.)

The Trump Administration is hurting American farmers. By freezing USDA conservation grants for farms and ending USAID, which buys 10-20% of the whole export market, Trump is taking direct aim at our farms.

fight fascism. love your friends.

Nope, big ol un-check from me. I would like to return to the forest and decompose alongside the leaves in the future 🍂

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

With spite, I can do all things ✨

I keep seeing people post about the Libby app being so amazing - Libby is your LIBRARY! Libby itself is not giving you free access to all those books - your library is! If you can, make a donation to your local library foundation in honor of a librarian who has made a difference in your life.

I think those that live with the double, triple, quadruple issues of intersectionality have always understood: Any suffering people in power do to one group, they will perfect it and do it to another. When marginalized communities are being targeted, NO one is safe. It’s is only a matter of time

Was talking with my partner about how getting on our local school board is probably one of the most important things we can do in the next few years and how we need to do it BEFORE our kid starts school. Good thread to read through.

it’s wildly irresponsible for mainstream media to call romantasy books “smut” or “p*rn” in out-of-context headlines during an era of increasing book bans and purity culture hysteria. this mischaracterization and willful ignorance of an entire genre is how you normalize book bans.

A friend and I watched a PWR game on YouTube today. Did we have any idea what was happening? Nope. Did we have a great time? Yep. I love women’s sports (thanks coach Jackie)

There is no calamity so huge that there is not beauty and humor and joy to be had in the moments between actively working on solving or evading it. Learning to take those moments, embrace the hell out of them, is what will make it all worth it, at whatever point you reach the end.

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

I need us all to appreciate how deranged and dangerous this is.

I will continue to shout it (enthusiastically! in a supportive way!) at everyone: read whatever genre brings you joy!

Look, while some folk enjoy a nice crossword puzzle, or wordle, or soduku, Costco aficionados like me are out here guessing the price of a single item each day. (Having hobbies and being a part of a group are so important - I’m SURE this is the sort of group they meant) costcodle.com
