No business as usual. Republic of Yarnia stands with the #GlobalStrikeforGaza. Every Thursday we withhold our participation in capitalism, that means no purchases, no sales. Because the same systems that profit from us also bankroll colonial violence and war. 🧶

#ootd from yesterday. Got compliments on the scarf/shall I was wearing that is also made myself.❤️

I propose: hotel cats, like bodega cats but they live in hotels. You can then choose a room with or without a cat (or cat free for those allergic). If you choose a room with a cat you get a room with a cat who might share snuggles with you while you're there on holiday or that drab business trip.

In case it needs restating, autism isn't caused by Tylenol, or vaccines, or woke parents or whatever. It's not a disease, and it doesn't need curing. Eugenicists and fascists love to think of ways to eradicate us because they are unwilling to understand us. But we will outlive them.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Happy one year anniversary to this banger tweet that got so ridiculously blown out of proportion that it got us 70k wishlists in like a day

A customer just came into the shop and bought 12 books for her friend’s birthday. She’s going to wrap them individually and write a different month of the year on each one, so her friend has a new book to read every month until her next birthday. And I think that’s just the most thoughtful gift.

Reminder that Mahmoud Khalil is still being deported for his 1A protected speech.

“Though you’re far away, and might look different from me, I recognize our shared humanity.” Free Palestine. The UN has finally recognised the weight of what is happening to the Palestinians at the hands of Israel. Let keep up the pressure to get our governments to actually do something about it!!

UN Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. We welcome this report and call for an immediate escalation in pressure on states to impose sanctions on Israel now. Join our #DisruptComplicity Global Weekend of Action, 18 - 21 September. loom.ly/gnUoYQY

The problems of today have existed forever; homophobia, racism, sexism, political oppression, ecological degradation, YOU are just more aware of them than the average person 100 years ago. But good news! The more people know about a problem, the more likely it is to be solved!

as someone who loves to indulge in media meant for kids, a pet peeve is critics of that media who don't seem to understand the target audience IS kids and what kids are like "why are we making yet another 'racism is bad' movie" Cuz this might be the first one 6yo Billy has ever seen, dipshit

The full set of my botanical series as it currently stands. What should i draw next?🌱

The police officers arresting elderly people who are protesting against genocide must be really proud of themselves. Handcuffing brave old ladies who are marching because "they have less to lose than youngsters" if they get arrested. So much for free speech and right to peaceful protest in the UK.

it was the picture of her and her grandmother at the end that truly broke me. to see the face of what $25 was “worth”. instant tears.

UK small business owners: I have a folksy shop and they just released a blog post on the new US tariffs situation. Even if you don't sell on Folksy I think it's got some good info for using Royal Mail or DPD and has some links to further resources. blog.folksy.com/2025/08/26/u...

Once in a while I have to post this so we can send ill will to certain evil people 😌✨ now also seems a good time because the end of de minimis is soon among many other bad things caused by them. With me people ✨

America is the Tesla Cybertruck of countries

I grew up when the internet was still pretty young and I got dozens of online safety talks. It's not novel anymore so I suspect a lot of parents just don't think to educate their children. The presence of the internet in our lives has reached a state as natural as breathing and so goes unnoticed

just a heads up to all my UK comic making buddies... Royal mail have suspended all post to the U.S over new tarrifs coming in on the 29th. Comics and smaller items should be exempt if sent as a "gift" but you might have to hold fire for a week or so to post stuff to see how it pans out.

Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw

Vision and Biology of Seeing is a pretty good book and answers a lot of questions like this. I'm reading it again on my camping trip this weekend.
