TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Aside from this, which is bad enough, they are also sending a FLURRY of concerning emails to TikTok shop sellers. I deactivated all my listings this morning, but I’ve been prepping for that for several months. Lives are going to be ruined. It fucking sucks man.

NEW: Trump is floating a $1.5 trillion war budget. $1.5 trillion could fund Medicaid, the child tax credit, SNAP, the Department of Education, national highway repair, the NIH, school breakfast & lunch, FEMA, the FAA, the EPA, and federal overdose prevention COMBINED. War costs us a better world.

Tomorrow is my birthday and in lieu of gifts - I would like instead for comments to this post (comments I will read at on 01/24/2026, 12 AM PT) of your favorite things that I have done as a player in your games or as a GM when I played with you or if you are one of the few who played a games I made!

I don't think that we want to go with isolating kids into what are likely abusive, right-wing, fanatically-Christian home lives.

I've finally re-listed all physical items in my @ko-fi.com Shop because, even though I still can't actually set anything up in my room because I'm still waiting for them to fix my window leak, I do at least have access to my inventory boxes. ko-fi.com/caseykayb

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

If you have a 3D printer, you can now download software to print out lots of whistles, all embedded with the phone number for LUCE, the local immigrant rapid-response group. www.printables.com/model/156587...

things I have learned about the stimulant shortage after months of telephone tag: - quota per individual pharmacy location - same number if you are a huge student neighborhood or the only pharmacy in the county - if you already have shortages, you want to move your rx or it will keep happening

Man, it’s gonna be an amazing time when everyone asking for a ska revival start to rock with all the new talent that’s making ska music There’s a new generation of ska bands doing the thing alongside older generations. Ska is ready when folks choose to fuck with it again!

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Do you know why this information from my great grandfathers military record would be redacted? He was born 1905 so it isn’t possible for him to be alive now. #Ancestry #AncestryUK #Genealogy #Familytree #Familyhistory #Familyresearch #UKWarRecords

Our marathon of a park outing after school yesterday let me finish the gusset on these socks. Now it’s just seeing whether I run out of yarn or patience for this project first to determine how long the legs are. #Knitting 🧶 (yarn ball emoji)

The Kite Trust are running a survey on how the puberty blocker ban has affected people from 16-24 www.instagram.com/p/DTdbulSFqj...

As of right now, the murder's go fund me has raised over $757,000 dollars for his disgusting ass. The food bank is at $81,000. The food bank needs to come out on top. Give for good. Give for spite because there is no way that piece of shit should get anything at all, certainly not ten times as much.

Chicago residents: there's a program that gives free bikes to people who meet certain criteria. www.chicago.gov/city/en/site...

Fuck AI. 🫳 🎤

tuck this one away: instead of telling someone with or recovering from covid "feel better!" (an imperative!) or (worse) "get well soon!"—two things someone with a virus with long-lasting impacts on one's health has no control over—try "hope you're getting the rest you need" which almost no one says

There is no compromising with this regime, because regimes don't compromise. These people are fascists. Fight fascists always. No playing to their language or moved goalposts. No taking their statements as legitimate and reporting them. And then PROSECUTE THEM. Every last one of them.

Hey Bill! I made it into a website now standwithminnesota.com

Some people out there are likely approaching the position that armed resistance is necessary. 1-- I don't agree, but even if I did, DON'T TELL ME OR ANYONE ELSE, AND DAMN SURE DON'T PLOT FELONIES ON AN OPEN PLATFORM. Right now, your best bet is to follow these assholes around and document everything

RECOMMENDATIONS NEEDED PLEASE What is the best software or app to use to design your own #crossstitch patterns or upload patterns onto so you can track as you stitch?

they abolished the department of education, we do not need a trojan horse to abolish ice we can just do it

Also a reminder that this pattern is currently FREE in my Ko-fi shop. Link in bio. #CrossStitch #FuckICE #PolitcalArt #ProtestArt

Hey, if anyone is looking for a way to help out, these are places that could really use it. Take care of each other out there ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I keep seeing people asking why the police aren't arresting ICE or protecting people from ICE and I desperately need you to understand that the police aren't protecting you from ICE because protecting YOU is not and never has been their function and that's why we need to defund them.

Bringing you an important message

I took my current pair of WIP socks for a walk to the store to buy hardware and safety eyes for the tiny capybara keychains I’m making. Turns out the smallest eyes they sell are too big for them, so I’m sewing them on anyway. #Knitting 🧶 (yarn ball emoji)

I had originally intended this to be a Christmas present for one of my nanny families, but of course ran out of time during the holidays. Now it gets to be a parting gift when the little starts full-day preschool at the end of the month. #CrossStitch

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Does anyone know of or have any really good resources for dwarven runes?

A lot of people are fighting over whether or not watching a video of someone's death makes you a better activist or person and I would like to gently suggest that what you do in response to the video's existence is what matters, whether you watched it or not.

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

ICE isn’t bad because they’re doing a bad job at something that is necessary. it is that they are wholly unnecessary, and their function is evil.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

So, I think I might just get a dedicated drawing tablet. I was looking at Huion, but then I saw that XP-Pen is the new best? I had never heard of them before. Does anyone have experience with them? I was looking at the Artist 15.6 Pro. #art #digitalart

Pre-orders for the VALENTINE'S DAY KOBOLD HEART HOARDS are OPEN!! It's $25 for 10 hearts from my Big Heart Stash that I've been making for the past few weeks with various other goodies available as add-ons. I'm going to talk a little bit about the project in thread. nora.jewelry/products/kob...

You should leave Substack in 2026, because they platform fascists regularly, but even before that I am *begging* you to stop referring to your writing as "my Substack" because why give them that agency. It's your writing, your posts, your words, on their platform.

The other thing you can do when kids get old enough to be unsupervised for a bit is send them on their own into their lessons in the rain while you stay in the car dry the whole time #Knitting 🧶 (yarn ball emoji)

Love when the kids reach the milestone of being able to run around the trampoline park mostly unsupervised. I get to just post up on a couch and work on this sock. #Knitting 🧶 (yarn ball emoji) Pattern: Monkey Socks by Cookie A. Yarn: Knit Picks Felici in color Lisa

I’m hoping we hit whatever our collective rock bottom is before we pass the point of no return.
