It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

major props to the associated press for not capitulating to trump. they're setting the standard for what news should be - independent, committed to the truth, and ready to stand against authoritarian governments.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

So we have the answer for one question people were asking... people's gender markers are being changed back even for renewals, if they had an existing passport in a different gender even as a kid: www.instagram.com/reel/DFZNz6r...

Don't hand the cops your unlocked phone. Ever.

Sometimes when sells-men or missionaries come to my door I start infodumping about insect and see how long I can keep them there.

Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!! This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

the ai sloppification of the world will only end if organizations stand up for artists like this. this is another great reason to unionize your workplace as you can include NO AI ART in your work contract

If you say we abandon red states, you kill a lot of dear friends of mine so fuck right off with that. We don't leave gerrymandered, vulnerable, decent people behind because of a zip code, you sanctimonious dicks.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

My favorite fused glass piece to date. A large Praying Mantis framed as a scientific specimen. It’s roughly 10 inches from wing tip to wing tip and the frame was built out of salvaged wood from an Ohio barn. #fusedglass #glassart #art #artist

My friend Sam and their partner Erin were both instrumental in supporting me while I was in and freshly out of the hospital. Their dog got maliciously poisoned by a neighbor and are looking for support for the vet bills. They posted a GoFundMe and I wanted to share. www.gofundme.com/f/help-haybu...

Members of the US Military when you are ordered to round people up and put them in detention camps, that's one of those illegal orders you trained not to follow. I know its terrifying to disobey the Sgts and Chiefs and Officers above you, but you swore an oath to defend against domestic threats.
