earlier this month, someone said i was going to fertilize soil, which gave me an idea for a story that i pitched to my editor. check out my mr. porter article on how to dress like a gardener! www.mrporter.com/en-us/journa...

Boosting for Lily and her mom, who had a bad fall and needs to take it easy for a few weeks, impacting her income.

#OnThisDay Mar 29 1928: St Paul's KSTP Radio station is launched. By 1935 its power increased to 50,000 watts, becoming the first high-power high-fidelity radio transmitter West of the Mississippi and the first commercial US radio station to be heard in Australia.

Genuinely? Savage Garden Saw them with my bestie back in '98 or '99 (pretty sure we were still in highschool) and it was SUCH an awesome performance. Dudes had SHOWMANSHIP 🤩

…If i was going to make a nightmare allegory about surveillance and empire based on wizard of oz and Grimm's fairy tales themes, this is what part of it would look like.

Online leftists: It's just a bunch of wine moms. They aren't doing enough. Media: Bunch of wine moms. It's ineffective. Meanwhile: Wine moms out there creating community, gathering people together, exposing them to other orgs, giving them opportunities to hear about new ideas. Holding it down.

I now have LESS than 2 weeks to reach my goal before I am homeless on the first. Extra money is needed because I found out my housing stipend doesn't kick in for 6 months and without it I can't afford accessible housing and will likely have nowhere to go. givebutter.com/iG0zWz

“when trump is long gone, queer, trans, immigrant and disabled minnesotans will remain… the forces of oppression are obvious and conspicuous. these fascists are bound to lose. we will still be here fighting for our liberation and our lives,” says leigh finke

Oh you hate fascism? So you hate the United States & all it’s ever stood for? Let’s gooooooo.

...and one quick addition: this is what I wrote after the first No Kings: "What's Next? Things To Do After a Big March." Just a few notes, resources, and links that I've found useful, especially in the context of working with new folks just taking those first steps into political consciousness.

Took me a minute to start, because life, but once I did I couldn't put it down; loved it! Love alternate histories and sci-fi/fantasy horror and drama. Highly recommend (it's only 127 pages! A quick read!) #BookSky 📚 #BlackRose @arlozgraves.bsky.social

Interview with Mercado Central co-founder Juan Linares! 👇🏻

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

The beautiful preservstion of trilobite compound eyes will never cease to amaze me. On this little 400ish million year old Phacops you can see all the little lenses - each one a rigid calcite mineral crystal! Together they had excellent 360° vision, perfect for finding lunch on the seafloor.

Please, I am begging people: never again repeat the claim that only two people were killed in the occupation of Minnesota.

Did a quick writeup of the new Olympic policy, which essentially bans trans women from Olympic competition. It also bans any women who test positive for the SRY gene, which has happened in the past. That's why the practice was abandoned more than two decades ago. Now, it's back. Gift link:

An essential read. “Covering sex testing is a lot like documenting a twisted and deeply unethical game of whack-a-mole. The same bad ideas, incorrect assertions, and misguided policies pop up over and over and over again.”

Espectacular 😙👌🏻

The Twin Cities lacking an actual bikeshare is maybe the single biggest oversight by the best bike metro in America. It's solvable and would pay for itself many times over.

Holy shit, every single aspect of this story is so tremendously infuriating. How many of these kids are there, forced to suffer?

This isn't true. I wish people would stop saying this. Specifically the banned additives. The US actually bans slightly more additives than the EU, just different ones. The EU for example allows cyclamates the US doesn't

The evolution of verification.

The focus, as usual, will be on trans athletes here to get buy in from everyone but the real impact will be on all female athletes and will disproportionately fall on intersex athletes. It's going to be a horror show. I expect legal challenges will eventually overturn this but it will take decades.

Men do not have to take these invasive tests. They don't have to pay for them. It's inherently discriminatory to female athletes, and especially intersex athletes who for all other purposes remain legally female.

This testing regimen does not comport with fundamental human rights principals. And I'm not even talking about trans athletes. Only women will be subjected to this. They didn't state who would pay for these tests that cost thousands of dollars. That is make or break for athletes from poor countries.

This policy is much more problematic for intersex athletes. They were assigned female at birth, socialized as women, and have female genitalia but will be classified as male. They're entire sports careers will be ruined for this cruel eugenicist project of sex purity.

There are going to be a lot of intersex cis women, especially from the global south, who will be ruled ineligible and then subjected to terrible discrimination or worse in their home countries. Prior sex testing regimes have resulted in suicides and ruined lives.

God damn it, boooooo 🍅🍅🍅

I have a running list in my head of stuff everyone (who is physically able) should learn how to do *just in case*, and writing with a pen/pencil is one of them (Others include, but are not limited to, driving a car, riding a bike, swimming, and some simple sewing)

I understand what you’re saying and I agree but there are many studies that have shown that handwriting and reading are linked. I mean maybe they don’t need to focus on cursive but kids definitely need to learn to physically write

I want you to look back through history and I want you to realize: The people who ban books are never, *ever* the good guys

It's actually really fucked up watching so many people clamor to watch a new television series created by a woman who has proudly bragged she'll use the money she makes to try and kill my entire community.

Every time I post about endometriosis and dare to make it, gender inclusive, I always get a lot of comments from people angry that I didn’t just say “women” And every time, I think about how Rowling has enough money to cure endometriosis forever. But she doesn’t actually give a fuck about women.

no innocents in jenin, no innocents in gaza, no innocents anywhere in iran, no innocents in southern lebanon. none too in yemen. none in syria. vanishingly few innocents in qatar. a worrying shortage of innocents in greek, maltese, and tunisian territorial waters

Thank you!! Honestly, small donors have been the real heroes in this crisis, preventing literal hundreds of evictions. The list that @octoberk.bsky.social posts is the best resource—any of those funds will use money wisely and transparently. And I'll give a special shout out to my school's fund:

This is completely false. The council member met with us and I made it very clear to him that I would not be introducing such a bill.
