Octopus cyanea - decloak/recloak

My parents had a way easier time explaining gay people to me than trying to explain the ending of Camelot, which I could not understand and asked about constantly for days.

If I say "sportsball" it's always just to illustrate how clueless I am about sports 😅

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever. A thread.

I've been happy this week to see that some people have caught up to the fact that in MN and across the country, the resistance to fascism has actually BUILT ON what came before. The networks created in 2020 and earlier have been reactivated, expanded etc...

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

You know me I don't share fundraisers unless I can tell you I trust them with my whole heart and my own wallet. This one gets protective gear to legal observers in Minneapolis / Saint Paul www.gofundme.com/f/help-equip...

No new pictures. Where are you mentally?

Don't listen to people who aren't actually ICE watching talk about ICE watch. This is very important. How do they know what ICE watching is like? They do not.

“the police should stop them” “congress should reign them in” “vote!” what you are describing are situations where someone else swoops in to save you while you never have to leave your comfort zone. this will not happen. YOU must make the change you wish to see in the world!

I LOVE MY TRANS COMRADES

Because my friends are extremely normal people who are not online, my posts will be the only ones on here with the link to support them through bone cancer. This site has saved my life more than once, and now I’m hoping it can do the same for them.

Please share this. My mother has been missing since December 7th. She has severe dementia and we are just praying that she is found safely. www.norwoodnews.org/wakefield-po...

Went to a city council meeting last night and it got SPICY. I love this city.

relatable

This is still the country that burned the 3rd Precinct, a country of ordinary people facing impossible odds who nevertheless stood and fought and died for each other to be free. And we will turn back the tide on these monsters and drive the fascists from history Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

Most economists agree that by age 50, you should: - own at least one magic sword - get advice from an enchanted bear skull - be covered by a thin layer of moss & lichen - disappear into a malevolent fog once a month - become a creature of myth & legend in the old forest

Read Lucky Day by @chucktingle.bsky.social and it was somehow the most uplifting and hopeful book I've read all year and also the most disturbing. Truly an incredible feat.

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents will be deployed in the Raleigh area on Tuesday, Democratic legislative sources briefed by Gov. Josh Stein’s office told The Assembly and INDY on Monday. www.theassemblync.com/news/politic...

Today marked Day One of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. And as we’ve come to expect from these operations, federal agents targeted workers throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas.

Saying “hello” -boring -who even are you -meeting new people is terrible Bursting into 13 shrieking crows -no small talk -reveals your true form to strangers -maybe they’ll feed you seeds

This is why I went from enjoying My Hero Acadamia but being exasperated by it a lot of the time during the first few seasons, to absolutely loving the later seasons.

I'm sending $10, can we do a match chain??

I need people to understand this: you have no choice about whether your protest will be viewed as legal. If the cops choose to make your permitted protest illegal, they will be able to charge you.

Two spaniels are sitting patiently in front of a dog treat stall. Their human is giving them treats to taste-test and so far, they approve of them all. But what is this?! Their human's moving on now? No more treats?! (Disaster!) They both flop on the ground. No treats. No moving. That's final. (4)

Better Off Ted

I appreciate someone who is so committed to a color scheme

"I don't want people to settle for glorifying Sissyphus." That hit me hard.

Let's get CB a cozy traveling van home!!

My disabilities continue to be aggravated by tent life and my mostly bedbound friend in California continues to struggle without someone there to help around the house. Anything you can contribute to our relocation helps! 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜

I loved UNCA and got a great education there (including many classes with Clarke), but the exposure I had to faculty/administrative politics there made me swear off academia forever.

Citrine's SweetsCafe. Another ode to the small mountain towns I still miss, since moving to the city. Also, ghosts

Encouraging people to turn the other cheek is a beloved pastime of those doing the hitting.

Best thing about Florida when I visited was lizards everywhere. Every flowerbed had a lizard posing picturesquely under a clunp of flowers.

This friend of a friend & courageous organizer of incarcerated trans women needs funds for her gender-affirming surgery BY 3pm EASTERN TIME TOMORROW (7/25). Can you kick in a bit? www.gofundme.com/f/support-ka...

If you have fears about homeless people in your neighborhood, I advise that you go talk to them. Bring a handful of twenties, if you can afford it, hand them out and talk to them like human beings. You’ll stop feeling as scared and start feeling sad and angry that people have to suffer needlessly.
