Great song & singer for a beautifully colored anime that had the most ridiculous story climax, crisis, whatever (so ofc I had to borrow our town library’s special edition dvd & rewatch it)

Rest in peace & power

Here is some history on the Emmett Till memorial

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

It’s Wastewater Wednesday! How are COVID levels? We’re using two sources to help us keep track of the country and our state of Oregon. Thank you to @michael-hoerger.bsky.social for the map and graph, and OHA for continuing to track data coming from our wastewater treatment centers!

Happy Lunar/ Chinese New Year 🧧🔥🐴⭐️

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

In a small fact that did make me smile a bit today, At the age of 84, Jesse Jackson passed this morning... on the very day Huey P Newton would've turned 84. I like to believe that coincidences are the ancestors making meaning

Everyone else's "New Year" celebrations starting during Black History Month is a sign from the heavens that now is our time to reject white supremacy TOGETHER. Or it's heralding the new Golden Child. Either way, rejoice!

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras. This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

Huh. Hopefully these assholes actually pay it up.

恭喜發財! Happy New Year! 🧧🍊 #cats #cny

Year of the Fire Horse

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

thread for me "Post a banger not in English" www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeLe...

Especially when it’s a fight that should’ve never had to happen in the first place.

something I think about with Jesse Jackson’s passing… I can’t imagine how it feels to have made your life’s work fighting for a better country, see some positive results, and then watch it all unraveled in FAR less time, in the same lifetime.

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.

We have more power than they want us to believe. Be careful around anyone who wants you to give up hope.

How ramshackle, how brilliant, how haphazardly and strangely rendered we are. Gloriously, fantastically mixed and monstered. We exist as phantom, monster, miracle, each a theme park all one's own. - Aracelis Girmay

Folks, I'm telling you, birthing is hard and dying is mean– so get yourself a little loving in between. Langston Hughes, "Advice" #everynightapoem #botd [Robert Mapplethorpe, Tulip, 1985]

Once you know how, you never forget how to love. Truer words.

Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass who didn’t know his birthday because he was born into slavery so he chose February 14 as his birthday.

Valentines Day card for my husband

happy valentines day to the lovers and the biters 💗

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone who isn't a Nazi, and especially to the trekkies.

They're focusing on her hair, but the real star is her face— gorgeous, mature, and not all plumped up and stretched. Seems like she's living her life. She also runs a store in NY and raising her son (also a model).

The testimony of someone who has risen to the occasion

Feb 12, 1879: Simon Rodia (1879–1965), creator of Watts Towers, was born #onthisday in Italy. www.wattstowers.org/about-us #WattsTowers @uclalibrary.bsky.social photo (1953):

my grandfather was a bench scientist at hopkins and then NIH from the 40s through the 50s. i remember him telling me what a miracle the salk vaccine was, and how grateful he was to take his kids to work to get vaccinated. i am so happy that some people still understand that miracle.

In 5 years, they've vaccinated *billions* of people. That is beyond our parents' wildest dreams, let alone our grandparents. I am not quite 50 and it blows my mind... it's the stuff of science fiction. We could have a different world if we stop letting the worst of us run and control everything.

Somewhere today are some people retelling how somebody at the lab (me) accidentally took the check-in clipboard to her seat. Bet they are either expressing outrage or laughing their heads off again Jokes on them Me & Mi Madre wearing face masks = I already did not give a fck what viewers thought.

The depths that this post resonates in me right now

Excellent thread. ⭐️

No-one actually involved in any of the transactions seems to be happy with how things are, either: healthcare providers, patients, support staff, medical industry. Just the insurance companies.

Blessings on everyone who's doing the work and blessings on everyone who takes the rest they need.

Next time I see or hear any variation of “Being disabled is not an excuse. Do better.” I’m going to assume you are on the side of the eugenicists & perverts wrecking this planet… as well as being a vicious broken soul.
