Tonight I’m dog sitting so we celebrated Chanukah together!

Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice justice and freedom demand Light one candle for the wisdom to know when the peacemaker's time is at hand Light one candle for the strength that we need to never become our own foe Light one candle for those who are suffering, pain we learned so long ago

Along that note: I updated my Kekedem (renew our days of old) listing to include more options (including a tie-dye crop hoodie!!) 100% of proceeds go to the Transgender Law Center (Bonfire sends them a check, I never touch the money) www.bonfire.com/renew-days-o...

STATEMENT: The Maryland Department of Health wholeheartedly supports the care needs of Maryland’s transgender and gender-expansive people. Gender-affirming coverage under Medicaid remains unchanged. Read the full statement from Health Secretary Dr. Meena Seshamani: bit.ly/4s5SLb8.

Full on neo-Nazi conspiracy theories from the president tonight — the very same invasion and replacement conspiracy theories that have fueled a cycle of deadly violence targeting so many communities including immigrants, Jews, Latinos, the Black community, Muslims, and more.

Adding light in two ways tonight: with candles and with the @tbfighters.org Year in Review www.youtube.com/live/bMHT8_R...

The Project for Awesome 2026 livestream will be February 13-15, but what is P4A? These are the #P4A2026 important dates to remember!📆

The light keeps growing ☺️

Today four generations of my family gathered for our annual (going for over 70 years) Channukah party. Light keeps growing. #ShineTheLight

UPDATE!

Absolutely bodied by this. 💀

Let's take a minute to discuss how hard it was to find pictures of rats that looked even remotely menacing. The stock photographers will not be caught taking pictures of rats that make them look scary. The shark photographers could learn a thing or two.

Trump doesn't have this authority. States are filling a void left by the federal government's failure to hold AI companies accountable. But after those companies donated millions to Trump's campaign, his inauguration fund, and his ballroom, Trump is doing their bidding. This cannot stand.

It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.

You know? This is brilliant! Let's take it a step further, what if we got ALL Americans to join one HUGE collective, all 340 million of us, could you IMAGINE the collective bargaining power we would have? It would put Costco, GM, and Toyota to shame combined!

We've almost made it through another year! Join #TBFighters and special guests, including @PIH.org advocacy experts Vincent and Rosie, on Wednesday, December 17th at 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT for a review of 2025's biggest moments in TB fighting: www.youtube.com/live...

Please try every cookie you want to try. (In the Talmud we're taught that we'll be held to account in the world to come for every good thing we refused to eat or drink, so if you choose *not* to try every cookie you want to try, you might want to start planning how're you'll explain yourself.)

Reminder: Fartmas is in 6 days. Are you ready?

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This is one of my favorite Taskmaster things ever and a great example of what raises it from a good show to a great show. There are so many clever and just very impressive little touches that are so go easy to unnoticed. From set design to music choices it all just works to elevate the whole show.

We're no longer "Looking for Alaska", but we are looking for more attendees in Wyoming, North Dakota, Hawaii, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and South Dakota. Apply to join us at #TBHillDay 2026: tbfighters.org/hill-...

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Is it Thursday yet? For one day only, take 25% off ALL signed Critical Role comics in my shop with the code THURS! ko-fi.com/jodyhouser/l...

Does anyone have suggestions for SF & F in which the main character is a full time wheelchair user? Literally asking this for a friend who uses a chair and wants to see themselves in a book.

strangely inspirational

Hey guys! I’m going to put something out here - I am always desperately searching for a small funding mechanism to pay the two leads of Somos TB a small stipend to host & manage our Spanish language #tuberculosis support. The work they do REALLY helps people.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50. I’m 58 now. HIV treatment works. Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex. Ensure HIV treatment for all. End HIV stigma. #WorldAIDSDay

Some things I finished today. Will be available at Loxythemaker.com later this week.

50501 is hiding the replies that are pointing out that this is an antisemitic conspiracy theory. What's being described here is the exact same type of donation ask I get from Democratic electeds and groups like EMILY'S List, SPLC, and ACLU multiple times a day. It's not shady. It's typical.

Starting soon!

Proud.
