tonight is introducing me to this emotion that feels brand new. "imagine if even just one thing got better." i haven't felt this in so long omg.

It's Juneteenth! Here are some zines I made at the local Juneteenth Market and at a Seeing Other People Photography workshop I helped put on! I love my people, I love myself, and I love zines! 1/2

So @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social did a writeup of Brad Lander's arrest today at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC, focusing not just on Lander's treatment, but the treatment of immigrants inside, both in the courtroom and once they are detained. prospect.org/justice/2025...

Historian of California and person who was born, raised, and lived here all my life here to say actually it's fine for LA protesters to fly the Mexican flag. Anyone arguing otherwise is either helicoptering into a conversation they have no background in, tone policing, or on the side of racists.

as a kid, i thought adulthood was going to involve a lot more throwing daggers.

The people standing up to those Nazi fucks in LA are heroes.

Good morning!

👽❤️‍🔥🚨AUTHOR EVENT‼️ Tuesday, June 3 7pm @astoriabookshop.bsky.social Join me, @yatllive.bsky.social, Jo Schulte, Adrienne Tooley, @daniellepaige.bsky.social & @ryanlasala.bsky.social for a fun night of book talk, signings, and I’m guessing some good-natured chaos!

If you can't even stand up for your students, what the fuck are you even doing in this field? Children have literally no power. They're reliant on us to open doors for them. We cannot keep calling ourselves defenders of the first amendment if we comply to fascism in advance.

We are seriously blessed with some amazing sff books lately. I just reviewed four brand new titles that take place in worlds that are utterly irresistible. wapo.st/4mrm0lQ Authors are: @novarensuma.bsky.social Neon Yang @emilytesh.net Sayaka Murata

Every “it’s the overreach of the left that has led to the right’s embrace of fascism” op-ed is another retread of “the decadence of Weimar Germany (ie, the public presence of queer people) is why we got the Nazis,” which is and always has been victim blaming bullshit

#beyhive #beyonce #cowboycarter I’m selling 4 tickets to Sunday’s show! Lmk if you want them :) :)

Happy world bee day from me and the honeys 🫶🏻🐝

Can you believe her

i hope she cried so hard after this.

You ever just start to design the uniforms for a fictional pizza restaurant in your unreleased horror novel about a gay beach town overtaken by zombified bachelorette parties?

I shall negotiate 🥲 please #beyhive help me sell these 🙃🙃

There is a woman on this A train dressed all in white carrying a tree branch. Like, an entire tree branch. It’s maybe 15 feet long and she’s holding it like a trapeze artist and every time we hit a turn everyone screams as she topples about with her tree branch. On the A TRAIN!!!
