Neigh. (sic)

I'm very close to finishing my fundraiser! Thank you for sharing and helping!

In a fight, right?

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

1/ It's not just that unilaterally paying TSA agents is illegal. It's that Trump has now repeatedly undermined the core of the congressional power of the purse. He's not spending money that has been appropriated by law (impoundments) and he's spending money that has not been appropriated.

Literally no one says *anything*. It’s really hard to take, like we are being shredded piece by piece and nobody cares.

Look, if this country ever gets through this, MAGA memorabilia needs to be treated like Nazi memorabilia. Trump's signature should be akin to scarlet letter. Having a MAGA hat in your house should be like having Klan robes or family photos taken at a lynching.

The year is 2030. I now own a home in every walkable US neighborhood, which I've paid for by selling rubber stamps that say "refused to release the Epstein files"

Hey y'all? Fuck this. This is dictator shit.

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all. This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

Gavin Newsome can fuck off forever.

the IOC already tried using SRY testing at the 1996 Olympics and then abandoned it before the 2000 Olympics because led to a bunch of "false positives" among cis female athletes who had no idea they were born with various intersex conditions

My latest for @mcsweeneys.net. We are up to 779 Trump administration atrocities. #LestWeForgetTheHorrors www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/feb...

okay i’ll be real, i need people to stop being like “this trans sports ban isn’t going to affect any trans women, it’s going to affect mostly cis women because there’s no trans athletes…” like 1) there’s a reason for that and 2) it’s not actually about sports and yes it does affect trans women

Carter: Colonel! O'Neill (p90 pointed offscreen): come on, Daniel, what does it say? Daniel Jackson: well if Im reading this right, they worshipped a being named "Miette", who had the power to imprison you for... one thousand years... Teal'c: I believe it would be most unwise to awaken this "Miette"

periodic reminder that there were literally no trans women competing at either the 2024 or 2026 Olympics, it's an issue that takes up 90% of some peoples' brains and literally 0% of the last two actual Olympic competitions

My favorite pizza place back home. To the best of my knowledge, the restaurant itself no longer exists, and even if it did, last I knew it wasn't using the same recipe. Many other pizzas are as good, but nothing else has ever hit that same combination of cheese/sauce/thin & chewy base/crispy edges.

These motherfuckers called me, an author, a "dying breed," and in the proud tradition of every author who came before me and was told that exact thing, it's my duty to be extremely goddamn smug about being right.

1. How many of your ship’s planks did you replace since your last insurance payment? 2. How many of your ship’s planks did you replace since you first took out your insurance policy? 3. Have all the planks of your ship been replaced? buff.ly/yZoe2Ke

The US, Israel, and Argentina voted against it. The first two...not shocked. Great Britain and the rest of EU abstained. A fund will be put in place for reparations, but an official amount hasn't been established. For it to get this get to point has a been a fight. The work continues!

witches 🌸💜 (drawn by a trans woman, if you wanna support an other world of witches & wizards than a certain one)

it’s not hyperbole, JKR literally said support for HP is support for her transphobia and she uses the money she makes from it to TRY TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY if you watch that show please don’t ever speak to me again trans lives are more important than your fandom of a terrible human’s IP

"Come out, ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man..."

I respect trans people, so it's such a little thing for me to not watch the Harry Potter trailer or show. The proceeds from that property go directly to funding anti-trans work. It's a straight line from HP to destroying lives. I can actually SAVE TIME by not supporting this. It requires NOTHING.

I am one of the people who helped edit the last three books in the series, and I agree with this. JKR has shown that she enjoys her cruelty, and no matter how much I loved the books back then, I can't watch this.

I was lucky enough to snag an ARC of this at one of my first library conferences. If y'all haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it.

I'm so ready for this week to be over. I have to spend most of my kids' spring break prepping for an open house event at work, and I'm completely burned out on coordinating with our comms and programming teams. #LibraryLife

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

All of my comic updates will remain free on Patreon if you'd like them conveniently sent to your inbox! Here's the first 15 pages: www.patreon.com/posts/flames...

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

look if I wanted to die for my country I’d lawfully film an ICE agent with both my hands visible at all times

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

Good reminder that JK Rowling is a bigoted, transphobic piece of shit and there's no reason for this series to have ever been put into production. Everyone in the cast for this who went in knowing this about her can fuck right off forever.

You don't need to watch this. The trailer, the show, none of it. You are not a child anymore. There are other stories. Potter may have once been a well of inspiration or joy, but that well is poisoned by the venom of its creator who sees every engagement as endorsement of her war on trans people.

Pondering if a day will come when things in the library management system labelled with AI will become so commonplace they lose the label. ex. you have the "AI Metadata Assistant" which could become "Metadata Assistant." I don't trust vendors not to make AI opaque despite promises of transparency /1

Crossing state borders for HRT. Insurance denials. Missed surgeries. U.S. Catholic bishops imposed a ban on all trans healthcare throughout the church's massive networks. That's left working class trans people struggling even more. Our latest, by @davidforbes.bsky.social are some of their stories:

Going to make an exhibition-tier commander deck called New Mexico. It's all enchantments and lands. #MagicTheGathering

this is so utterly disgusting. besides my own personal reasons for being so critical of the church / catholic administration & its institutions, surely i hope this will lead trans catholics who continue to act defensive about this criticism to wisen up

Any Democrat who votes for the first part after they've announced the plan for the second part needs to be tarred and feathered.

I am struggling to understand the extremely muted international response to this. whatever you think of the regime, it is not the regime that is suffering. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If we don’t mask anywhere else, we gotta mask in airports, on public transit (this includes Amtrak), in medical settings (pharmacy included), and in ride shares. It’s protecting you and everyone you’re close to.

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

I want fully staffed public pools, and libraries that are cathedrals to public goods and a society where walling yourself off with money is viewed as sociopathic.

If they're not doing passenger screening, they're just there to harass non-white people.

Good job, Dems. Trans rights are not negotiable.

Reminder that librarians are punk

The only choke point I'm concerned with today is between a cheeseburger and the orange man's stomach.
