Today is the last day to take this important step towards protecting our beloved trans youth! #ProtectTransKids

last month the US secretly deported nine asylum seekers to cameroon where they’ve been trapped at a local government-owned compound until they agree to return to their home countries where they face persecution and death. none have history of violence.

This is the way.

SN Désirée Cha is alone now (poor little Esmé has crossed the rainbow bridge) and the cold is *dangerous*... getting this car back to being able to actually HEAT is a critical component of survival. Please help if you can.

Friends, have you translated your lived experiences into meaningful comments in support of gender-affirming care for youth? Please take the time to read @matthewcort.land's outstanding guide, linked below, & then get to commenting... the window of opportunity is closing. #ProtectTransKids

I got into a cool market this summer... I just need to pay the booth fee. It is very reasonable but still more than I have at the moment (thanks folks who have been picking stuff up I paid a double late bill with it)... Anyone wanna help pay a booth fee and get a lil wood bowl? www.galdrecraft.com

Breaking my social media hiatus to share some good news! I’ve just signed a deal with Basic Books for my next book, Impunity, which uncovers the right’s decades-long effort to destroy political accountability and protect their friends in power. I’m so excited for this one!

Help Keza collect this interesting data!

"When Musk & Hegseth argue that a racially diverse nation is inherently weak, they're not returning us to some long-established American tradition from which we've recently strayed. They are, instead, parroting the exact same propaganda that Nazi Germany promoted against America during World War II"

How cool is this?! #TransPerspectivesFTW

I’m so excited to be showing y'all what I’ve been working on! Please go check out the eleven new items in my shop and indulge in some beadwork! More new pieces coming soon → cvkvlv.com Goal progress in comments ↓ ↓ Mvto! (Thank you!) #Mvskoke #Artist #Beadwork #Jewelry

Up & @ 'em, Skeeple! Doesn't billionaire-free news sound like an awesome goa to strive towards?

Do the thing.

if you want 100% nonfictional stories from measles patients and their families, follow voices for vaccines! more: voicesforvaccines.org/resources/blog/

Brown, despite its queer history, was one of the first universities to bend the knee to the Trump regime, cracking down on healthcare and banning trans people from sports and key facilities. But students and anti-fascist groups are fighting back. More in our latest, from @tomatoslayers.bsky.social

The April-May cycle is open, so please check them out as learning ASL can be a vital act of cross-disability solidarity if not deaf, as it can increase access, & these offerings are virtual, & on a sliding scale, which includes free classes, as I know from taking one!✨ www.queerasl.com/registration/

@sabs.bsky.social Reading your amazing disquisition on doubles luge out loud to my wife and very much enjoying her resulting near-constant laughter. Full marks to you, Sabs! #NewFan

Speak up for the rights of trans people!

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

I love what CD wrote here. Biological essentialism states that when you are born, your choices are made for you, once and for all. "Transness" knows that there are endless possibilities, and you get to make those choices.

Excellent tip. #TeamHuman

So grateful to friends like Greg who are out here finding, curating, and sharing the good stuff. #TeamHuman

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

I forgot it was Captain Cook-ed day!

Friends, I just found out there's a FREE performance of Sarah Ruhl's #ORLANDO next weekend at Swarthmore College in Philly. What a great opportunity to simultaneously treat yourself to a night out and an interrogation of the binary! Deets here: swatcentral.swarthmore.edu?trumbaEmbed=...

Regarding ICE leasing facility in Roseland.

hi, cis folks! if you’re in kansas, please call & tell your state senator & representative that revoking trans people’s documents & setting bounties on trans folks using the bathroom is fucked. tell them to support a veto—yes, even republicans. contact info: reps.fyi find talking points in the QP

Here is the upcoming DJ workshop link: accesslovefeb.eventbrite.ca "For February, by embracing bell hooks’ Love Ethic, we will gather to reflect & write in community about how this practice can inspire our efforts for Collective Liberation, as aligned with the vital Disability Justice framework."🫂

Are you a content creator of beautiful, cosy, artsy games? 💛 I want to hear from you! 🥰 recs & shares super appreciated! 🌸

Hey, friends, the deadline on this opportunity to #SupportTransFolks is NEXT MONDAY. If you haven't already commented, do so this weekend if at all possible. @matthewcort.land's guide, linked below, will likely be a HUGE help... it's an especially good time to prioritize fighting for trans folks!

Hey y'all. A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews. Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Post a tree you photographed. (Add some alt text, too!) A fun back story on this particular tree is here: butwait.blogspot.com/2010/05/home...

patreon.com/mattbc is the place to find my work — i try to remember to post to this poorly run, niche social media network but signing up (there's even a free tier) at patreon is the best way to see what i write

"What I'm asking is, have you learned a lesson here?" It would seem not.

You almost certainly know someone who needs this book. Think. Who is it and when is the next date that could be a good excuse for giving it to them?

This is the way.

Call your reps (202-224-3122) and tell them NOT to support the so-called SAVE Act... it's voter suppression, plain and simple.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

The "Save America Act" is voter suppression dressed up as patriotism. It targets naturalized citizens, trans Americans, tribal citizens, and natural disaster victims with extra barriers. Don't let the name fool you. #SheShed #Pinks #StopTheSaveAct social.demcast.com/s/KBSOfod7

I just started playing, and it's SO GOOD already

SpaceX shifts focus from something that it will never do on Mars to something it will never do on the Moon.

@aaup.org , @aft.org and others are sponsoring a mass call on Sunday about strategies to pressure our schools to stop investing in partners that fund ICE and the DHS. Join the call this Sunday at 7 PM. Register using the link: www.mobilize.us/aft/event/89...

BREAKING: After we sued, DHS withdrew a subpoena seeking personal information about our client who criticized DHS' treatment of a man seeking asylum. This is a win not just for our client, but for everyone’s First Amendment right to speak out without fear of government retaliation.
