$75 have been raised so far for Sophie. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far!! Let's see if we can't get some more momentum going - I will match every donation that comes through in the next 48 hours up to $100 (I will post receipts)! 💸

Hi everyone, we still have ZERO movement on this fundraiser - no donations in 4 days. Even if it's just the cost of a cup or two of coffee, we would be extremely appreciative of any aid you are able to give!! 🚨🚨🚨

🚨!! URGENT APPEAL !! 🚨 Sophie has been hospitalized with serious injuries and needs to raise $1200 to be treated!! She is overwhelmed by the amount and is scared of what will happen to her if she cannot raise it. Share widely and give if you can! I talk with Sophie often and can vouch for her. 💫🙏

adhd is crazy cause you can rot for an entire week and finally on day 7 your third eye opens and all the tasks you were procrastinating on get done in 3 hours

John Schofield of York University on the value of archaeology - it’s not just about the past. theconversation.com/six-reasons-...

For certain peoples, museums in the Global North, when they can be reached, are like graveyards where one goes to mourn. Someone said to me once, 'A museum is a trophy cabinet.' Can the museum survive decolonisation in its present form? Should it?

Growing up as a ND girl for me meant feeling like I learned how to be a person late, but ALSO how to be a *girl* late. I didn't know how to put in a ponytail until I was like 13! I feel like there's less equivalent for boys; femininity has this load-bearing requirement to look effortless and innate.

People will be like ‘Bluesky is all academics & historians’ & I’ll be like, ‘You mean the people who enthusiastically tell me the coolest shit I ever heard?????’

Touching grass isn't enough; you gotta touch dirt. Put some seeds in some dirt, put some plants in some dirt. Remind yourself that the future exists, that you have some power to change it, that life is fragile but incredibly persistent and unspeakably beautiful.

A huge thank you for a generous £174 donation❤️🙏 we are close to $600 left with $150 to refill our regular medication, pls share widely and help us reach our goal every donation brings us close. We are so grateful for your support so far gofund.me/ec8207f5 #TransLives #MedicalAid #LifeSaving #Help

🇸🇩 Flour, lentils, sugar...etc has been distributed to families around our community kitchen while we continue to operate daily. This is where your money goes. We need to secure funds for next month and sheep for Eid, plz donate 1. gofund.me/babb28653 #BlueskyForACause #FundSky #HelpSky #MutualAid 👇

A dozen female Palestinians are working to save and preserve medieval and early modern manuscripts 📕 from the Al-Omari mosque’s library. Hang this picture in the Louvre (and the Met). www.newarab.com/features/ins...

This is probably gonna gain traction soon, so I want to ground everyone before the fear that may come. The purpose of memos like this is probably best understood as to create fear. If they had the resources and ability to conduct mass crackdowns on trans groups, they would just do it.

Folks, pls don't share photos godforsaken Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social thieves circulate. Screenshot of a tweet looks like crap. No credit to photographer, a Black man. Support @nashvillebanner.bsky.social! Credit: Martin B. Cherry/Nashville Banner nashvillebanner.com/2026/05/07/t...

Not an isolated incident @thetnholler.bsky.social stole a video I took of ICE officers mooning a Minnesota crowd several months ago. Never responded to DMs, never responded to comments asking them to credit. I self-funded that trip and shot that video in -10 degree weather Fuck those guys

❗LIFE LINE FOR MANY PEOPLE IN SUDAN❗ 🚨 Numerous families depend on this to live, buy medicine, rent as well as a community that feeds a huge number of people daily. Your help is urgently needed, please donate any amount you can, even $5. chuffed.org/project/1403...

Remains of an archaeological storeroom at Amara West, Sudan, totally destroyed during the ongoing conflict. Not only devastating to civilian life, the war has led to the destruction of many museums, cultural heritage sites and archaeological projects. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

Boosting.

@laziah.bsky.social lives in Gorom Refugee Camp in South Sudan with a group of trans + queer folks. Meeting basic needs like meds+clean drinking water are a daily struggle, +they are targeted for who they are. I donated $25 - can you meet 1/2 of that? Can you commit to a coffee weekly or monthly?

The SAAs 🏺 are only a few weeks away and you know what that means... it's time for my annual SAA Land Action list! You can include this QR code on your land acknowledgement slide to back it up with a call to support local Indigenous orgs from Yelamu (SF) and the Bay Area!

If you want to know more, @transnews.network is pretty much the only news org taking the Catholic Church's total trans healthcare ban and its devastating impacts seriously. In-depth coverage here: transnews.network/p/it-s-a-nig... And here: transnews.network/p/u-s-cathol...

ISRAEL BOMBED NEXT TO UNESCO SITE OF TYRE AGAIN

For over a year, my little dream and little posts have been their lifeline. None of us want it that way, but they're on the brink of famine. 21 families + the model of recurring giving—so they can rely on having shelter & a bite to eat for their kids. Join 280+ members: chuffed.org/project/hope...

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Hunger is escalating - help six families & a camp eat!! Prices are going up, the crossing is still closed, these pledges are disappearing, and our sustained attention matters. The best way to help is by clicking “weekly/monthly” on a coffee or spare change: chuffed.org/project/hope...

Just saw over on Instagram that @firestorm.coop, a really awesome worker-owned radical bookstore and mutual aid hub in Asheville, NC, is struggling financially and needs support to stay open. I highly recommend buying books from them, and becoming a sustainer on Patreon if you can!

This week is slated to be the lowest support since October.

Earth, from Artemis II. Everything you've ever done, everyone you've ever known, all that you have traveled is contained in this picture.

If you are in the UK and you want to help, use Dr. Divya's link. If you elsewhere, check out this link (same fundraiser) and sign up to donate monthly! chuffed.org/project/crip... Dr. Divya suggests we sign up for the cost of a coffee (~$7 if you're in the US) each month. One coffee = one eSIM!

🏺 I hope you all can enjoy this friend-shaped Bes jar from Late Period Faiyum, now at the World Museum in Liverpool. 📜 www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/artifact/bes...

i vetted this to make sure it wasn’t ai so you could enjoy it fully

reactivating to share this. trans voices are barely heard even while we're busy being kicked around for political clout by abject weirdos and/or fascists. so shares are appreciated 🙏

Eid Mubarak to everyone...except those profiting off of Sudanese, Palestinian, Congolese, Haitian and Indigenous (and all other oppressed people's) death and destruction. May this year bring you ruin and may your wealth be redistributed to those you stole from.

This is the real takeaway from the Parable series — that we should find our people and organize our lives together. Not, "Octavia Butler predicted the future."

Delightful Egyptian #hedgehog. 🥰🦔🥰

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning" got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

"[T]he Lemkin Institute believes that the United States is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. and globally."

The field of archaeology was developed as a tool of imperialism and settler colonialism and every attempt to depoliticize archaeology is an abdication of our responsibility to actively undo the harms of our predecessors through reparative justice🏺

One of my favourite artworks from Sudan's 2018-19 uprising. The Arabic writing translates to "A woman's place is the resistance" (by A. Satir, 2019).

The last photo of Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, a third-grade student killed in the reported U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab, Iran. He is waving goodbye to his mother.

I’m now hearing up to 80 students. I’m sure those kids will be presented as threats somehow, but they’re little children with hopes and dreams and people who loved them and they're the exact people who are used tokenisitically in demands for regime change.

solidarity with all marginalized people in Kansas. you are not alone. together we are going to build the better world we all deserve.

NEW: Hundreds of Palestinians gathered 800 meters from the yellow line at Abu Hussein School in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza Strip to celebrate the first day of Ramadan together despite what Fouad Al-Mallah said was "the hardship, confinement, and lack of resources we face."

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.
