White folks really think they're getting out of this without challenging their white supremacy. Nope you're absolutely not. You're stuck with it until you no longer want to be superior.

Grim wants to help with the landing

During an interview today for TV the reporter asked me what I’m most looking forward to about the return of #Artemis II (referring I think to the science data/discoveries) and I replied that all I care about today is that the astronauts return home safely 🙏🏼

They’re over Australia right now! #artemis2

After travelling on Artemis II I think the only course for me would be wondering every national park and natural environment to live out my days in wonder and amazement.

Canberra is always listening

Why is this making me so emotional? 😭🥰

... and we're back! #Artemis

What a beautiful moment.

astronauts sometimes describe a transcendent feeling of connection with all human beings when viewing the earth from space, an effect previously only achievable by taking a little edible and grilling hot dogs in the sunshine

Somewhere in there, an unresolved spaceship. Built by weapons maker Lockheed Martin and carrying people who genuinely want to bring hope to humanity. It is a complicated journey and an impressive feat of human ingenuity, a reminder of what we can do when we organize ourselves to do it. Godspeed!

This is literally how we got here.

Good morning everyone today is MOON DAY 🚀🌖🥰 #Artemis

I bought this vase ages ago and it had a permanent spot on the mantel in our Californian house. I shipped it with a bunch of other beloved items even though I had no idea where I’d actually use them here.

...God DAMN this is good.

if you wind back the clock a year and say “trump will be president, he’ll tear up entire agencies without any legislative authority, ignore court orders, build a concentration camp, and send troops into multiple US cities” you wouldn’t ask “well how many troops?” before deciding what this describes

live action catbus looking pretty sweet

I do not like the Clintons, however I would like to point out that there was an uproar when they took $190,000 worth of gifts from the White House at the end of the administration, based on confusion (according to them) as to whether they were gifts to the government or the president.

“There’s two things to be afraid of in this country and one is that we lose everything we are proud of – the ability to speak out – and the other is that we would ever be involved in a genocide.” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

please read this painful, beautiful testimony I’m trying not to be a nag but it arrived on my TL below some editorial being shared for rage bait and like. we could share things like this instead. not “we can do both” miss me with that. trash smell will always overpower what’s good when we “do both”

For 15 years, I watched brilliant and caring people desperately attempt to avert the privacy and data security apocalypse that’s upon us - which has now been massively exacerbated by dumbass-enabling AI tools. They did their best, not enough people listened, and now, well, God help us all.

An intentional, avoidable mass starvation event is happening in the context of an ongoing genocide and not only is the US not doing anything to stop it, we are actively enabling it, both materially by continuing to fund and arm Israel and also by silencing protest here. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“The workers refuse to be “accomplices to the genocide…”

I'm avoiding reposting graphic images but I do want to record for posterity: we are watching a people being deliberately starved in real time and the best our governments have to offer are "stern words": humanity has lost, the monsters are in charge.

“I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.” The last journalists remaining in Gaza are near death from forced starvation. There is enough food at the border to feed the entire population for 3 months. This is genocide.

If you are following the news from the ground, sincerely there is not reason to doubt validity of claims. I don’t actually need to talk further with Malak and Maali to know they are clearly NOT scammers. Malak finds her same followers… every time that she has to… chuffed.org/project/help...

I’ve been sick all week with Covid. It’s a mild case, probably milder than what I had back in 2022. But I’m mad about getting it and being a baby about being sick. But at the same time I’m enjoying having a week to just be and my jaw and tongue have been so relaxed for the first time in years.

oh

As someone who visits pets while people are away, I am begging you: if you have a wonky front door lock, please please please get it fixed. I don’t love being featured up close and in color on your doorbell camera as I try to politely and professionally try to unlock or lock your door for 5 minutes.

Oh! I forgot to share this amazing op shop find. So stoked!

I think about this photo from right after Hurricane Katrina quite often. See, Black America has been here before..

Two answers to “how could X let this happen” and they boil down to 1) greed and avarice on one hand and 2) political violence on the other. American authoritarianism will be the dumbest iteration imaginable — memes, masks — but no less horrible.

Secret police tend to meet 5 criteria: -target political opponents & dissidents -the identity of members / operations are secret -surveillance operations -arbitrary searches, arrests, interrogations, detentions, disappearances & torture. 👉 answer directly to dictator 👈 the StasICE, GestapICE, etc.

There were two intifadas. And one of them, according to even the IDF, was 99% non violent. But let’s continue to define and ban Arabic words for Arabs. While promoting genocide. forward.com/opinion/3896...

I get upset when I hear the Civil Rights movement characterized as “nonviolent”. It was violent. People were injured. Killed. There *was* violence. It just wasn’t perpetrated by the resistors.
