If you're asking what to do now, and the idea of getting involved in your community to change the world is new to you, I highly recommend this essential book as a starting place. It is kind, instructive, and useful for finding your way in a disorienting time. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1922-l...

@jperrin.bsky.social she's being mean to me

I need people who don’t live in the Twin Cities to stop telling people not to join massive Signal groups right now. People are doing it. They’re going to keep doing it. Give them good advice about it. The actually practical advice is don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t say in public

I've hit the "tired toddler" part of my day; I am very disappointed by things not in alphabetical order and who took all the cheez its dammit.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

The comments and quote posts on this are…disgusting?? It’s a Hanukkah party? We eat fried foods in Hanukkah because the oil burned for eight days so we use oil to commemorate it is??

Brown University released a statement about a Palestinian student that's being smeared online as the shooting suspect. Not going to share his post because it includes the student's personal info but one of those spreading this harmful rumor was the spokesperson for Turning Point USA, Andrew Kolvet.

Read this. Then read it again.

Working on the Unreal version of Yarn Spinner, and we think we’ve worked it out. People like UE so much because you have so much free time waiting for everything to compile, you can catch up on all your emails. *ducks*

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Supreme Court oral argument this morning, in sum Sotomayor: you're asking us to destroy the foundation of government (derogatory) Gorsuch: you're asking us to destroy the foundation of government (complimentary)

The irony of the next year's "color of the year" being an uninspiring white is just too much.

This I sent to the #FFXIV group with the caption "when you're DPS trying to do your dailies"

This was obviously an immediate purchase.

Now we need YOUR VOTE 🫵 Help us out? 💚 woobox.com/fw8p3z/galle...

My niece and I take holiday reading seriously. Shout-out to the amazing folks at Kepler's Books; especially the seller who immediately whisked us off when asked for romantasy and also did an amazing job saying monster-fucking without actually saying it.

Listen, I started making cards to keep myself from doom scrolling and to focus on making pretty things for those I love. Really need the USPS for that. Quit selling our country infrastructure please.
