If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

These people deserve nothing less. Abolishing ICE is the lowest setting of the bar now

I have now reached the age that I need reading glasses for up close work. I feel that bifocals may be coming sooner than I want 😂

Some actually good news

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

I'm looking to hear some specific examples of how disabled Minnesotans have been harmed by federal Medicaid pause for reporting I'm doing at @motherjones.com . Please reach out to [email protected] with any leads.

77% of liberals are calling for the abolishment of ICE. If a candidate isn't running on that they are absolutely out of touch with their base and do not deserve the vote. End of story.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

ECCC is upon us, and to all my colleagues, I ask you to please discuss your numbers with people in person, and online. Tell us how you are doing. Wages don't change if we don't talk about 'em openly.

HEY FOLKS!!!! I was going to donate to this but honestly with pre-surgery & also dick whistle stuff, I missed my window. but man oh man am I going to PROMOTE THE HECK OUT OF IT!!!!

This is important information but also goddammit people, you need to leave substack, you are assisting in The Horrors

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production. you have until March 23rd to comment. i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

For ppl who aren't aware: Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut. They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures. You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

When Putin needed pretext for creating "The Red Web", Russia's authoritarian system of online censorship that effectively bans LGBTQ speech, he did it through the EXACT same moral panic about social media and kids that liberals and many leftists are spreading today.

Ok I now have glitter sparkle dick whistles as well, but before I pack all these up into a box to send to @lookitup.baby, I did what the people demanded. Slow-mo glitter rainbow dick whistle waterfall. These are on their way to Minneapolis tomorrow. 😂 I hope they give folks joy!

So loads of people are sharing an obvious ai "glow up" of an actual photo. I never share ai stuff even to dunk, but in this case I'm sharing a comparison to show the problem. We have to stand against this slop at every level or it becomes normalised. They want us to stop caring. See alt text.

even a painting in an attic has its limits

We'll be closing the store for the final week of March so I can recover from surgery, which means selling as much as we can now. Great time to buy something & force me to actually recover from surgery by not working! (hey I ADDED ALL THE DINOSAURS!) http://thebrokencirc...

12”x18” Watercolor on Arches paper For the “Haunted Beauty” group exhibition with @poetictigergallery.bsky.social gallery, on view until February 20- March 20. I’ve been tracing my fingers along my own edges lately, and thinking about what expansion lays beyond them.

Seriously.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer. In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off. Leave your comment here: eplanning.blm.gov/Participate-... morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ...

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Tell your members of Congress: Vote YES on the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution and end President Trump’s unconstitutional and unauthorized use of military force against Iran. Send your message now at aclu.org/war-on-iran-

a reminder of where i stand: - free palestine - end capitalism - end u.s. colonialism and war - gen ai is theft & is killing the planet - trans rights now - defund cops - abolish ice if you disagree, the unfollow & block buttons are free to use.

Oh btw ICE activity today at Whipple was fucking nuts. Large convoys of masked agents leaving every so often with a constant stream of single ICE vehicles in between. This 'drawdown' was clearly just a brief hiatus to pacify liberals and get bourgeois media/politicians to completely lose interest.

once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling

your moment of calm

Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode

I have a Patreon and Ko-fi. I just put a bunch of new stuff in my shop. I have a tip jar. I have 4 days to pull together $1400 to make rent. I have some savings but I really don’t want to drain it if I don’t have to. Please help if you can. This year is off to such a rough start.

waterdogs, or at least one kind of them. more dragon idea sketches.

Thread of rent relief aid in Minneapolis from one of our city council members

this is where it feels important not to lose sight of the fact that the specific flavor of evil that has formed the Trump family is via real estate. destroying land that has been people's homes for thousands of years so that Jared Kushner's besties can build golf courses on top of their graves

"The notion of making a living with A.I.-generated books appears to be based on the belief algorithms will be serving up book slop the same way we are force-fed other kinds of slop" I'm still not over losing my job as a book reviewer. Here's why we need book critics: buttondown.com/charliejane/...

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
