Hello—could anyone help me get there in stages of $500 each so I can stress less? Can someone olease help me get to $500 tomorrow morning, then $500 by Monday morning, and then make the home stretch by Tuesday? Thanks for regarding my #MutualAid, and #MerryChristmas.

This is a good time to remember what motivates us as activists, and to come together in mutual respect & solidarity to make a difference. I love you all.

The peacock mantis shrimp isn't a peacock, mantis or shrimp. I think about that a lot.

This experiment ends tonight at midnight Minneapolis time, about five hours from now, though you probably better figure four and a half or four and three quarters to leave time for me to see your offer, roll the dice, and reply, and you to buy it. So far, big fun! www.etsy.com/shop/Lioness...

Interesting. I just picked up Vincent Bevins's book "If We Burn", which is finally out in paperback, about why the global protests of the 2010s *weren't* successful and resulted in *more oppressive* backlash. Also notable to see that this article insists nonviolence is the most effective method.

A book is not a book is not a book. J.D. Connor points to print, audio, and image. A book is now all these things and more. Understanding the differences and affordances of each takes time, but will pay off for the rest of your life, not only in school.

Wishing every pirate around the world a Christmas at least ½ as joyful as when you found this insane beautiful fandom on social media 🫶🏼🎄🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️

I've been wanting to adapt "Bandit's Moon" by the late, great Sid Fleischman into a live-action mini-series for adults for years. The original novel is written for kids, but there's some heavy stuff about race and tribalism that I think would be prescient and I could get gender stuff in there too!

Look, there are certainly things I'm not good at̶̶—leadership skills, maintaining relationships with other humans, math—but one thing I am good at is wrapping presents, okay

PUBLIC COMMENT IS NOW OPEN on prohibiting gender affirming care for young people. Flood 'em with comments! www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Holy shit… it’s a Christmas miracle. Will we get other cartoons on physical media?!

The next mass protest needs to call for the regime to leave office.

Fellow millenials, we gotta just hang in there and remember that after all of this, our grumpy old curmudgeon phase is going to be so well-deserved it'll feel like the cigarette after sex.

Air travel in 2025 is just a long series of small insults, that you get to pay for

A very smart thread. It drives home that we cannot keep choosing what is easy in a given moment, because that creates scenarios that will be 50x harder to fight down the road.

Hi there. Radio guy speaking. I live for this kind of shit. Join us tomorrow night at 9pm EST for many many hours of The Big Waste of Christmas on Christmas Eve on into Christmas morning. One of my all-time favorite records plays at 10. Radio Shack Presents: Christmas With Santa and His Friends!

the aging millenials will save us!

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

Emotionally, I feel like 🗑️ today, but I take the tiniest bit of satisfaction in knowing not one dime of my gift spending has gone to Amazon this year. I managed to cover my entire list with small businesses. Suck it, Bezos.

Ah yes, nothing like typing up a multi-post thread and, in the middle of it, switching windows on your phone and coming back to find the thread you've been composing for a half-hour completely gone!!

ICYMI we published a new blog post last week, about women, piracy and privateering.

FAA documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show an explosion of SpaceX’s Starship on Jan. 16 posed a greater danger to planes in the air over the Caribbean than was publicly known

—I am so, so, so enraged right now, at all the ways my life has been put on hold, not by the pandemic, but by nearly complete abandonment *to* the pandemic on the part of the govt, public health systems, and most regular people.

Also I JUST noticed that Bsky removed my "Require alt text before posting" setting selection and I had to go back and check it again. Just FYI in case anyone is having the same problem.

My kiddo wanted an Imperial Death Trooper. Dad delivers #starwars!

Inside you there are two weasels. Sorry, we ran out of wolves.

Unless we are willing to correct every single wrong, we send the message that it's acceptable to destroy our country and its now former allies Its not going to be easy to build that trust back, but doing the arduous thing is the only thing that will save us

Dallas PD to expand use of Clearview “to Class B misdemeanors and above, which means it could use facial recognition for crimes like theft and trespassing.”

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

Damn, this took my breath away. Perfect description, you *are* right. I own a small biz, in a high-end touristy beach town. Business fell off a cliff in early August. I just returned from a trade show w/minimal new merch for '26. The vibes at the show were bad, super bad.

Folklore walks. Not just across imagined lines on maps of nations, not just across time itself. Folklore instinctively walks towards landmarks. When stories see a ruin, a notable tomb or impressive tree, they travel towards them to tether themselves in the landscape. – Dr. M. Benn #Folklore

[P] I’m sure you’re a metaphor, half of a Guess Who game sitting in the middle of a random NYC sidewalk; I’m just not sure for what.

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME. I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center. People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230. No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech. We can't let this happen. Share & take action www.badinternetbills.com
