If you’re transmasc (define it as you wish), I’d be interested to know what manhood means to you. Anyone who doesn’t align with transmasculinity in some way, please feel free to boost and read! 🫶

Last month, @outsidemag.bsky.social sent me to spend 14 hours in a suburban ice rink, learning the stories of everyone I met. Why do they skate? I asked. To feel free, they told me. To feel God. To forget, for a minute, what they've done.

@fionamossman.bsky.social Followed you right back... no such thing as too many librarians in my feed!

@nicolaz.bsky.social Trying (and mostly failing) not to GOBBLE Hild... this story is so engrossing and great! One thing wondered about is the practice of clapping for an attendant rather than blowing on food... the king explains to Hild that she should not need to blow. Did you just *invent* this?

At Caribou Creek HQ restocking dog food and the Head Kibblemonger had his granddaughters load our 10 bags. Somewhere in there, someone tossed one on the tailgate and—my tail light was supposed to be an $1800 fix; I’d been putting it off for months— Folks, it is lit once again. A Hanukkah Miracle. ✡️

here’s a list of great independent media outlets to support instead of fascists:

I've been keeping this to myself but I thought it was time to say, I was let go from my job just before Christmas after moving to a new city with my disabled partner for it🎄🎁 I've popped a few board games and TTRPGs on eBay, you'd be helping me out by treating yourself to one 💖 ebay.us/m/luBkh7

Actual progress! @ Universe: Please dont let this fall out from under us like the last 2 times we almost got here! linktr.ee/wylder Would be so good to find some stability & self-reliance.

Yay, love this for us! Hung out w/ a yellow-bellied sapsucker this afternoon for a bit as we blinged up our front yard maple.

Download, watch, share, thank Jason.

Imagine and work towards the futures you want to live in...

Up & @ 'em, Skeeple! A mighty tree has fallen...

Absolutely right. AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there. Let me illustrate …

#OtD 21 Dec 1892 radical journalist and suffragist, Rebecca West, was born. She helped found the feminist journal, The Freewoman, and later worked with Emma Goldman to assist Spanish anti-fascist refugees stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9356...

24 HOURS LEFT ⚠️ We are SO CLOSE to keeping this family of eight, including a baby, housed! Our friend Seraj is just 21 but he's responsible for his family's survival. Every month we cover their rent—modest, but life-sustaining. There's an option to click "monthly"! 319/475 tiny.cc/serajrent

Please share in a way that an angel might see this plea...

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Ignore the oracles at your peril.

You know you can order cool stuff for the folks you love and give them a certificate that says, "It's coming your way!" right? No need to stress over the item itself arriving by a particular date, especially if it's SO PERFECT for them.

Happy Solstice! Not a fan of the dark, so always happy to reach the point where days start getting longer. Spring is just around the corner for those of us in the Northern hemisphere, so here's a happy chickadee for today's #ArtAdventCalendar

YESSSSS!!! #INDIGENOUS

Here's to the days when we are enough. And to realizing, deep in the marrow of our bones, that those days are every day. #INDIGENOUS

All hail the human curatorial instinct... and those who act on it.

May I recommend www.newyacht.city ?

Up & @ 'em, Skeeple! Listen and learn from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social, please.

Up & @ 'em, Skeeple! This gift-giving-themed book thread is such a cool idea for authors!

Call your Senators tomorrow and tell them to stop this bill cold.

@lingthusiasm.bsky.social Hello, friends! I am finally remembering to reach out to you with a linguistic report from the field. I work at an independent school, primarily as a college counselor, and one of our traditions is a morning meeting in which our Upper School students (1/x)

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscopic slide. 🫧🐻🧪

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean. I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

OH: "What I really need is a 'never show me Ross Douthat' setting."

Up & @ 'em, Skeeple! Another great day to keep an eye on the deepfake scene...

GRRRRR. 🤬

Ok last Patreon push of the year. On January 1 this year, I set a goal of getting to 1000 paid Patreon supporters by the end of the year. Right now between my newsletter and Patreon, I'm at 883. Will you help me hit my year end goal? I'm only 117 away. patreon.com/katelynburns

So immigrants were the heroes at Brown University and on Bondi Beach in Australia.

Honored to be a part of this team! When I say this project does it differently, I mean it!

I was in Myanmar in 2015, just as identity cards were taken from Rohingya to keep them from voting. It was part of a decades-long process of redefining citizenship that ate away at their rights more every year. When governments start doing this, they can move the goalposts anytime they want to.

Up & @ 'em, Skeeple! Look at these gorgeous creations by a fellow human and get you some!

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.
