Everyone dealing with chronic illness should receive a living wage and a reliable caregiver. Most of us are forced into legislative poverty, often relying on abusive or unsafe people to get basic needs met. If we were provided the safety & security of a caregiver…. We could thrive.

Watching Tom Baker’s 6th series of Doctor Who, and my goodness the amount of cigarette quilting on some of these costumes. The Movellans especially.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

Nothing you did is the reason your kid has autism. AND Autistic kids are beautiful, wonderful, beloved members of our community ❤️

Pallone: Trump keeps saying, “Well, I don’t like the way solar panels look. I don’t like the way windmills look.” What the hell does that have to do with what we need to do in an energy crisis? The price of electricity keeps going up.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

"School choice" is a ruse to rob public schools of resources and starve public education. It inevitably leads to unequal access to education because, in the existing system, most private schools are located in wealthy areas, limiting other kids' access to them in spite of "choice."

Some more old art! Circa 1995-ish? Some group shots from my long-running Cybergeneration game. Anyone who tells you that game wasn’t some of the best “role vs roll” playing material ever is straight up lying to you. Not my best ink work. But I was poor, couldn’t buy good pens. Art in next post.

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

Look, you want a predatory transfem lesbian to lust after in your audio dramas. This is a service I am not only willing and glad to provide, but already did. Go get the podcast followed in your app of coice already.

this insane space plutocrat was in charge of the whole government for like six months, probably killed a lot of people worldwide, compromised essentially everyone’s security, and made everything infinitely shoddier but no less expensive. And he is the guy who’s supposed to take us back to the moon.

Try to live your life in such a manner that escalators don't stop as you approach.

So Superman has had a lot of recons and a lot of writers with different takes on who he is, though the core of him being the Big Blue Boy Scout (outside of alt dimension/alt history imaginings) is pretty standard. His origin story changels a little, minor deets. The Kryptionans are asshats.

Given that Earth did not gain a “Red Moon” until the commandeering of the Zentraedi Factory Satellite nearly two years after the return of the Macross to Earth, the lyrics of this famous Minmei staple prove that she is related to the prophetic Wind Singers of Mayan Island. In this essay, I will…

Madison Carstens, a transgender woman from Seattle, was attacked by six men in a transphobic hate crime on Sept 2. She suffered a ruptured eardrum - that may have permanently damaged her hearing - and a severe concussion that will keep her out of work for weeks or months. Do your thing, fam. (1/2)

Real talk? I don't think there's enough Tylenol in the world to alleviate the pain this regime is willing to cause just to distract us from the Epstein files.

so people think I’m exaggerating when I say that as a culture, we’re not indifferent to women’s pain, we actively seek it out and enjoy it but now that they’re trying to criminalize the ONE PAINKILLER that pregnant women can take, do you see it?

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Iced rapturecino, pump of grace, whipped cream.

NexStar sounds like it should be the name of the evil record label that represents the Misfits in Jem and the Holograms.

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

So considering Batman, his sidekicks, and his rogues gallery, would this change anything if it worked?

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

Can we get a boycott to get back jobs of the ~300,000 Black women who lost theirs this year? 🤔

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by advocating for trans rights.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

tbh imo "tag your shit properly" is a way better system than anything else social media has tried. you tagged it bad? okay now there's trouble. otherwise? nobody's gonna stumble across it accidentally. hate that people (and platforms, and payment processors) are weaponizing it against creators

Reposting this little 🧵 about proven ways of handling nsfw content than the two-tiered system the proposed Bsky TOS updates would create. For the night crew, and all.

I don't have a "style", I wish I did. I just do what I do. Or, if I did, I guess it would best be described as "messy pencils". Calling this one done, it's been in limbo for a while until today. Shading on the pants could be better :/

Before everyone starts signing back up to Disney and Hulu+ because they put Jimmy back on, let's just take a moment to notice their statement never included an apology.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

BREAKING: Our opposition and upset over Jimmy Kimmel being taken off air have led to Kimmel coming back. Let's organize that much noise for reporters like Mario Guevara detained (despite being here legally) for filming police & ICE:

Call me crazy, but I feel like the ability to label our own content, not just via tagging but also via a robust labeling system that conforms to the extant Bluesky Moderation panels in our Profile Settings, would be the ideal way to handle all these issues with nsfw content. Tags + Labels WORK.

Don't you dare put that baby in pelican mouth.

Call me a filthy commie but I think blowing up boats without actually knowing who or what is on them is really evil and wrong
