These days in English if you say something sucks that means it’s bad but if something fucks that means it’s good, but fuck you is still bad, as is being a fucker, and I find this all wonderful and chaotic.

I am not tolerant. I strive to be kind, to fight against injustice, to be open minded and accepting of others’ points of view, within reason. None of these things requires me to be tolerant of those who would seek to harm others.

The right’s twisting of the word woke into something negative must be one of the single most heinous and widespread instances of cultural appropriation in decades. I’m so tired of explaining this to people.

This Canadian woman’s story with ICE reads like a horror novella. ICE cannot be allowed to continue these inhumane and illegal detentions. tRump, muskRat, dunce and every other politician and billionaire need to be imprisoned in their own detention centers then deported. #DemVoice1

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

We simply can’t believe a word they say. Don’t forget that Musk’s Starlink was under investigation by USAID. He had motive to shut it down, and that had nothing at all to do with ‘waste.’

This seems like a totally normal and not at all sinister thing for a government to do. 🙃

One of the best hand-drawn protest signs I've seen in a while.

I don’t like to be outspoken politically. Gronp doesn’t like to be political. But today’s news reminds us that this is still in LIVING MEMORY www.amazon.ca/They-Called-... @startrekshitposti.ng

If you want to help us reach more people, add the song to your playlists! It makes the algorithm like us better 😊

Feeding your neighbor wasn’t political until denying food to the hungry was made political policy.

Really proud of this song, it’s my favourite from the new album.

so hey, not to be That Guy, but remember how SFF fans called for a boycott of Chengdu Worldcon on the basis of the CCP’s actions in Xinjiang and China potentially not being safe for certain authors? are we going to have a similar discussion about Seattle Worldcon given the circumstances, or -?

Wanna support some #lgbtq artists? My band dropped the first single off our debut album today. One third of the band is trans, our vocalist is a drag queen, and the song is about anti-depressants. You can listen to Escita by Gloria&Gentz wherever you stream music! 💛 distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

These words are so important

Sagan was a prophet.

This, from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social, has been on my mind today.

Trump's promised executive order against "gender ideology" is ugly and dangerous, and also, like everything with Trump, contains few specifics and is meant to terrify people into self-repression. Here's my attempt to refocus on the fight ahead:

"Good on you! There are racist, rightwing morons with spray cans all over the world, and then there are artists, with a great sense of community and humour. Bravo! 👏" - Marina Baker

I did this the last time the Tangerine Shitgoblin took office. It offended many, many horrible people… including David Duke, who was so mad, he Tweeted about it 3 times in 24 hours. I’m currently working on a new version.

Indeed, how awful, you walk into a church and are forced to sit through a sermon about *check’s notes* mercy on the marginalised. What’s next? Christian charity? Love thy neighbour?? It’s woke, I tell you. Woke!!

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

I drew this picture of @jerilryan.bsky.social as #SevenOfNine back in 2017. I updated it for 2025.

An executive order can create oppression. It cannot erase who you truly are. But, goddamn those who are trying to do just that. #transrights

Can’t even be sure it’s satire. I mean, it’s the Onion, so probability is high, but also it’s Trump, so…

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking. Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO READ I AM BEGGING YOU TO READ THERE IS A REASON THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO READ!! DON’T DO THEIR WORK FOR THEM BY REFUSING TO READ

Let's burn this place to the ground. #severance #johnturturro #fanart #severanceseason2 #appletvseverance #quietquitting

If you see that TikTok message about Dear Leader and are still gonna use it when it comes back, I don’t know what to tell you.

#Gaza: The temporary ceasefire in #Gaza is a relief, but it comes after 465 days and 46,000 lives lost. This is just the beginning of addressing the immense humanitarian, and medical needs. All parties must respect the #ceasefire and ensure safe delivery of aid to those in need.

Seems like one thing people are saying helped was reading the authors who influenced Gaiman, so how about we gather some here? @mayteramarble.bsky.social mentioned Roger Zelazny. I can't recommend Angela Carter enough. What else, guys? xx

Nice people are struggling over the revelations on Gaiman, and something I keep hearing is, 'His work had a big influence on how I shaped my own identity.' So here's something to remember: You did that. He didn't do it for you. 1/

Another thing I'm seeing nice people say about Gaiman: 'I feel stupid for thinking he was a great guy.' No. You're just nice. Here's what happened: Thinking well of someone made you happy because nice people like to do that. As far as you knew, there was no reason not to. So you did. 1/

We’ve been to the museum of Oslo yesterday. This was in the culinary history section, and… I have so many questions. Why was there only one goat? How do they know there was only one goat? Was this the last goat?? I want to know more about the goat but they did not elaborate.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,831,423! Not bad, really.

I find it so absurd that there are people in the world who have never considered that money only has value because we as a society have assigned it value. Like, there are people who honestly believe that currency has immutable, inherent value independently of our culture.

In addition to Easter, today is also Trans Day of Visibility. So, hi, it me, existing!

Your preteen kids are playing Fortnite and GTA, you don’t get to tell me drag queens aren’t family friendly.
