i like that we know the ICE fitness standards now because now we all know exactly how fast we need to be able to run to be just slightly faster than any given ICE agent. a useable training goal

This is going to be so good - can’t wait to read it, @isaacfitzgerald.bsky.social!

Tiny criminal, photographed this morning. She jumped in the plant and promptly got digging zoomies.

We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like? In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox. 🧵

I’ve lived in Texas for almost 20 years, and been to the state fair once. Being from Minnesota, I had a great state fair to compare it to, and the Texas state fair is…not a great state fair. Less interesting exhibits, expensive and less variety of fair food, etc.

It's YOUTH DAY at Communiversity on Saturday! Please help spread the word.

You will not believe—or perhaps you will—how much solid information you can learn in a mere two hours. See you Sunday!

SNAP benefits are going to be paused on November 1. If you are able, now is a good time to give to food banks, food pantries, or local mutual aid groups.

Reading Rainbow episode 3 is live now on KidZuko on YouTube! 🌈🎉📚 Let's read "More Than Peach" by Bellen Woodard, who was just 9 years old when she wrote this inspiring story celebrating every beautiful shade of who we are ✨💖😊 youtu.be/e4VIV48ZB0M?feature=shared

Speaking of our favorite defunct magazine… !!! 🥰

Listen - this is is a topic I get really heated about. Like, it’s one of the only things Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and I fully agree on - gambling is bad. And sports betting is absolutely vile. It ruins lives and ruins the fun of watching sports, and can affect how games are played! Yuck.

I’m sorry but it’s not up to you to decide if a student’s accommodations are unreasonable. if a student did everything necessary to get accommodations for “anxiety” then trust me, they need them. I once tried to apply for accommodations & it was so heartless & confusing I gave up.

plenty of federal workers have put their livelihoods on the line reporting from inside the federal govt but somehow we can't get ONE SINGLE intrepid reporter at the NYT to tell us how the editorial team is purposefully covering for fascists

A good way to keep your protest high going is to make a donation today to a group that's been doing the work. An abortion fund, a group that feeds the unhoused, a group that assists immigrants...Lots of fascism fighters out there stay needing your money.

I’ve been reading @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social’s Hope in the Dark this week (it’s been on my list, and it just came in at the library - thanks, interlibrary loan!), and what timing. I highly recommend a read or reread because even though it largely addresses the Bush years, it’s also for these times.

Just saw some neighbors walk by at dusk, and all three have lights of some sort with them so they’ll be visible to cars - awesome job, neighbors! Keeping yourselves and drivers safe. ❤️

New Yorkers, please help us to spread the word. Make copies of our zine and share it across the city!

This is where we live (we don’t live in The Woodlands proper, but most of our daily lives happens there), in a SUPER red county. This is remarkable. AND, there was another protest up in Conroe, the county seat. If you’ve read @agordonreed.bsky.social’s Juneteenth, you’ve read about this area.

In absence of our beloved Link, let’s do a FUND FRIDAY. Drop your info for: -medical/dental -legal -housing -transportation -food -the many things I have not listed that you or your loved ones need Hop in the thread and boost other people out if you can and donate if you’re able. pand for attn

All three kitties helped me with yoga just now, so it was a great day on the mat. ❤️

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

fyi - Since I’m a fellow Presbyterian, the Rev. David Black has been popping up as a suggested friend on my facebook in the last week, and I am delighted to report, he is hugging a dog in his profile picture. Love it. ❤️

Oh, and fuck Christopher Columbus.
