hi! i would like to reup my request for ANY AND ALL PEOPLE FIGHTING DATA CENTERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES TO PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME i am now covering data center conflicts for @heatmap.news my email is [email protected]

Apparently they’re $900 short on rent and the late fee will be assessed tomorrow, so if we can get them over the line, that would be literally life-saving

Everyone’s been doing hockey romance recs — and good thing! — but I’d like to also take a moment and point out that there’s a ton of great Asian-Canadian contemporary romance writing happening right now too!

I have -34$ and still need about 1200 to clear my back rent. Any help and shares are SO appreciated!

A little good news today. For the first time since December 2000, the entire state of California is no longer either entering or recovering from a drought! That's 25 years of drought conditions. www.drought.gov/states/calif...

If you’re in Minneapolis and need a place to just BE right now, Big Hill Books and Birchbark Books & Native Arts are both open and ready to welcome you with open arms.

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

Whales & dolphins will see their migration paths protected as nations approve plan for vast Atlantic sanctuary. The move marks over four decades of advocacy and scientific work, and will safeguard key routes from shipping, industrial fishing and deep-sea mining. buff.ly/dl2mh5j #ShareGoodNewsToo

This is the ninth shooting by ICE since September (I did not know that). All of them were into vehicles.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Free today. We're all getting secondary trauma right now. Here are some tools from journalists and therapists that will help: www.patreon.com/posts/digita...

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

Someone who is more organized than me put them on a linktree, with our GFM that covers shipping & supplies. (And when we have too much money in there, we send it to folks in cities who need stuff immediately, like we did today!) linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

Since the last one sold out and folks have been nudging, I’ve put a second query workshop up. Three Zoom hangs, notes on your first ten pages, a critique of your query… it’ll be fun. Also these help me fund my local events. Help me, help you! 🥰 www.ericsmithrocks.com/blog/2025/12...

Sharing my fundraiser again in hopes I can get the rest of my rent paid this month before they send me the scary letter (IYKYK). Thanks for donating/sharing!

This is fucked. Impeach now before we go (further!) down a really dark path.

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

Starting tomorrow, the Trump administration is set to send notices to 1,000 student loan borrowers (first round) noticing them of an intent to garnish their wages for student loan debt. This is cruel and unnecessary. If you receive a notice, send it to us and we'll try to help.

PORTFOLIO TIPS FOR ILLUSTRATORS I am an art director who has probably seen close to 1000 portfolios, many great, but many...not 😔 This is a doc I wrote featuring tips and tricks for how to make a better art portfolio site. Feel free to share with anyone who may find this useful <3 #art

I usually share the big stuff but there are a lotta funky creatures down there. 🤿 #marinelife

2025 was mostly garbage, but there were some good moments. One of my favorites was when a family of beavers built a dam in just a few days, saving the Czech Republic 30 million Czech koruna (US$1.2 million) for a wetland restoration project the government had been planning for 7 years. 🦫 🌿

One thing I would like in 2026 is to have more copy editing work coming in! I’m a developmental editor at heart but people don’t freelance that out as much and I’m good at CE as well. If you’re involved in freelance CE hiring for any presses besides S&S (who I already do work for) pls get in touch!

I'm not saying it's an omen, but this is the best batch of black-eyed peas I have ever made. Just putting it out there universe (make us all happy)....

If you're having black-eyes peas today, I absolutely recommend kimchi with it instead of pepper jelly.

This man's media team is a bunch of goddamned geniuses, someone scouted for locations and figured out they could set up this very shot. Look at it, it's incredible. Look up pics of Adams being sworn in at the ball drop, which look chaotic, cheap, and undignified in comparison.

NYCers have earned a day to just feel hopeful and happy. Nobody's in denial about political reality, and tomorrow will be here soon enough, but an inauguration is a celebration and an articulation of a vision, and it's okay to let yourself give in to the joy of aspiration.

In the spirit of making my needs known, I’m heading for over draft again. All of my funds will go to paying rent, leaving me with nothing to pay bills or buy groceries in January, which is my birth month (yay). Any help would be much appreciated. ko-fi.com/soniasulaima...
