Today the 12yo has declared it Burrowing Owl Awareness Day! The small fierce owls of the prairies, badlands, chaparral and deserts of the Americas aren’t flightless but still mostly terrestrial and live in appropriated burrows. They don’t do the digging despite their name.

You just reminded me of my fave quote by Mario Savio

i'm a clown???? [ #pokemon #art ]

We used to be first. That’s why people’s vibe is still “this was a good place to be yourself”. Then we had 10 years of attacks on human rights, total institutional failure and a roll back of rights… …including the claim we never had human rights protection in the first place.

it's ok because they're all doing really important work and not at all flooding the market with derivative slop and buggy code

- For getting on for 2 decades, no one feels better off - We’ve been pandering to racism instead of doing the hard work of anti-racism, Gordon Brown’s “bigot” moment was pivotal - A Cohort of white brits see Black & Asian people richer & better off than them. To them it’s not how things should be

goof!

yet another new foal, this one literally born yesterday

F is for… Friend

they are literally never going to join you. i will not support anyone who: 1) thinks we need a "Strong Republican party." 2) doesn't pledge to undo what Trump has done literally immediately. 3) does not support robust court reform to unpack the courts. End of.

🔸I found my bluesky password! I can finally catch up on some art here. Let’s start with the koi tiger.

I was petsitting over the weekend, and the boy would grumble at me if i dared to stop using his ears to rub the back of his head

Aha, I've just read a nasty review of my new book, Feminism for a World on Fire. Kathleen Stock takes umbrage at my argument that feminists should be 'pro-immigration'. Yes, I do believe that if you call yourself a feminist but you are prepared to strip refugee and migrant women of their rights

Fuck TERFs forever. May their power evaporate, and their silence endure.

So this morning I'm in court, sitting in the front row with the other attorneys. All the other lawyers are white men. The man next to me tells me I can't sit there because it's attorneys only. I said I was an attorney. He says complaining witnesses (which I'm not) aren't lawyers.

And it shows we have learned ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from the Civil Rights movement besides propaganda. Apparently white people think Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech one time, asked politely, and then LBJ said "You know what? This Jim Crow shit is wrong, and since you asked so nicely let's stop it."

I don't take you seriously as anti-genocide if you're saying Marjorie Taylor Greene is more anti-genocide than AOC. I have (a lot of) differences with AOC. But MTG has overtly and explicitly called for the extermination of the trans community and her plan ended up in Trump's counterterrorism plan.

The single largest voting bloc in the United States is cishet white people. There are more cis white women voters than Asian, Black, Jewish, Muslim, and trans people in the United States COMBINED. Please stop blaming marginalized people for their own oppression.

Trans people: we're about to be genocided by the US government GOP: Awesome, can't wait Centrists: Thoughts and prayers Liberals: It's your fault because you are a wedge issue and support Palestine Leftists: It's not a real genocide like Palestine is

Aparamo a barba um pouco

A while back I was representing someone arrested for protesting ICE. Prosecutor made a comment that "real" protests don't disrupt or impact people's lives. A bit later, without a shred of irony, Prosecutor lamented the lack of protests and asked where all the anti-ICE protests were.

Proud to stand with so many New Yorkers @handsoffnyc.bsky.social and Tom Morello to speak out against the abuses targeting immigrant New Yorkers. Abolish ICE!

Child protective services ripped a 14-year-old from her home to stop her from leaving the state for an abortion. They also threatened her mother with murder charges and the removal of her other child if they crossed state lines for care. So please don't tell me Republicans aren't banning travel.

Math phobic’s nightmare

Baraa was unable to secure the rent for the land on which she & her surviving son Ibrahim were living in a tent. They're displaced & without shelter in the midst of Israel's genocidal siege again. She's lost 2 daughters to the genocide. You can help her secure shelter by sharing & donating:

what i'm arguing here isn't just that reform voters are wrong, but that we're not doing *them* any favours by skirting around that they're not children who can't be contradicted—& no one should want to be treated like that www.liberalcurrents.com/respecting-r...

Today is the birthday of artist Lily Renée Phillips (May 12, 1921-Aug. 24, 2022). Active in the Golden Age, her family had fled Nazi-controlled Vienna. She drew stories for series such as Wings Comics & Planet Comics, & features like Senorita Rio & the Werewolf Hunter.

“A lot of these people who have pied-à-terres are real people.”

3 actual quotes from this piece: “Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful. I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants." giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

“Reform is, in fact, a fascist party. They are directly tied to, and in step with, the Trump administration. Their stated plans are to remove all checks and balances, create a British version of ICE, build concentration camps, and deport people” www.liberalcurrents.com/respecting-r...

saccharinescorpion.tumblr.com/post/7400608... Ryoko Kui's Distant Utopia short is the best criticism of "the gleepglorps stole me nan" worldbuilding/writing I've ever seen (and it really shows her train of thought with DunMeshi worldbuilding)

Yeah this is p much my take. "Fascist" feels imprecise but the political criticisms being made are legit.

I’m sure people will have normal reactions to this.

I’ve lived in this country for nearly 11 years now and that so far includes six (6!!!) different Prime Ministers.

You know it's serious when they're saying the same shit they said when Korra and Asami held hands.

Good morning to anyone expect the unprofessional "tracing your own ref is cheating" crowd

RIP Koji Suzuki, Sadako is forever an icon of horror and pop culture- thank you for your great works ! m(_)m 👀👁‍🗨

I’ve devoured all available chapters of When You Fell from Heaven in less than three days and I can say that Maxine and Taylor are the sweetest girls ever and Alyson is an evil woman who has made me weep multiple times. 10/10, do recommend. Go buy it!
