resources re: ICE presence in North Carolina, distribute widely if you feel like it. all love to my community, no love to the people who said "but what is fascism really? historically, blah blah, name-calling gets us nowhere" when we were all saying "these people are fascists" linktr.ee/apply_heat

Hello! today is 🎂🎉MY BIRTHDAY! 🎉🎂 For my birthday, plz read what is up of my webcomic/signal-boost this skeet? It would mean a lot to me! Only 50 pages so far. It hasn't updated in ages, but I'm still working on it. Updates will resume when the backlog reaches 50 pages. blikada.com?pg=1#showComic

It’s been confirmed that ICE is in Raleigh as of today, after harassing teenagers and civilians of Charlotte on Monday. Doula to clinic defender, gentle parent to family centered cesarean advocate: ICE is arresting children and ripping parents from their cars, homes, and jobs right in front of us.

ICYMI last week, you can now read or listen to my short story “In the Zone,” about a bipolar artist who discovers she has a special power to aid immigrants, at Lightspeed: www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/in-t...

Currently stranded in a clinical situation and I could get called to a birth any time between now and tomorrow morning. A $150 quick goal on my ko-fi would resolve this. If you can please help.

LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS IS!!!

OH MY GOD DO THIS, THIS IS INDECENT AMOUNTS OF SALE

Today is my birthday. I would like many things but from you specifically I want $2,500 for @scarleteen.com's annual fundraiser, which is supporting staff & volunteer healthcare this year. We need $2,500 to unlock a $10,000 match and this would really make my day! Donate to my campaign page here.

Anyway most books you read ARE NOT FACT CHECKED. Publishers will not pay for fact checkers. An author must take it upon themselves and pay out of pocket. Which is why folks like @annaleen.bsky.social and @swordsjew.bsky.social who have hired me to fact check their books should be celebrated.

Earlier this year I drew this magnificent Metallyticus splendidus. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. That's all.

Thank you so much to everyone who's shared & donated for your generosity. The fundraiser's at 82% to Archita's goal and support has slowed a lot. She'd be most grateful if people keep sharing & giving so she can reach her goal & get some security in this terrible time.

The skeletons grow large in the fall and winter in Portland... and then in the spring the luscious brains are harvested and pressed for their delicious juice.

#SaveSpeech if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model" they are not your allies.

Boosting for Ahmed, please share and donate if you can!

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel. We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Aya. Before the war Aya was an Arabic language teacher at a kindergarten. She was forced to flee her home and this week in addition to the floods her tent also burned. She has four children Omar, 10, Mohammed, 8, Wasim, 5 and Yasmine, 3 months

Remember that Intuit (the owner of Turbotax) lobbied extensively to kill Direct File, which did tax filing for free and somehow managed to make a good and intuitive user experience without AI.

Thank you to everyone who stepped up to help Aya. She's now able to buy a new tent, so next time there's a storm, these three girls will be much safer. Majd is still in a really bad way however, and they need $2,600 for surgery. gofund.me/2f942387 @mommunism.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social #Gaza 🍉

New from 404 Media: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. Spoke to people briefed on plans. This isn't licensed PIs/bounty hunters. These are just former police/military; members of public "Something doesn't sound right" www.404media.co/contractor-p...

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

The situation here is extremely difficult. As winter approaches, the rains are already coming, with roads starting to flood. Please donate to help keep us warm, fed, and safe through this cold winter 🙏❤️🪽 gofund.me/81080627

Elias is another Gazan who needs support from us, including for young kids who are suffering from malnutrition. Please share and help if you can!
