Boosting this post for April 🌺

Make sure to rotate your pronouns periodically, so that if your gender becomes compromised, attackers can only access it for a short period of time.

Summer is probably going to be oppressive. 🥲

Seattle, why is it snowing? Your have some explaining to do.

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

The Sun-Times and WBEZ have published about 20 stories and audio pieces this week about the Rev. Jesse Jackson, showing how his civil rights work intersected with film, education, Chicago mayors and much more. So, here's an ICYMI thread with some highlights. 🧵

“Historians call this passageway a masterwork of deliberate concealment, designed to be absolutely invisible to slave catchers or city marshals during the 19th-century”

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance. bsky.app/profile/pron...

Seattle has the strangest addiction to fireworks. Also, let's go hawks!!

Congrats Seattle and the Seahawks, the emotional journey my entire neighborhood went on was a thing to listen to.

Howard Bryant's new book "Kings and Pawns" talks about why that happened and the intersection with Jackie Robinson

Hey y’all. So. We are in an urgent and difficult situation. We have a storage locker for our belongings, but we can no longer keep up with the payments and have fallen behind. If we’re unable to cover the full $750 balance, everything in it will be lost in 2 days. cash.app/$ClarkishaKent

none of us are immune to propaganda or misinformation. i recently unwittingly reposted a story that turned out to be unverifiable & i have seen more fake stories circulating. yet ppl in the comments were stuck on "it feels emotionally true". that is a really dangerous place to be. that's not okay.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Channeled my holiday and new year angst into some art. First art of 2026 and i didn't give up on it when i wanted to 800x. 😂 #NewArt #Art #DigitalSketch

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Is it just me or is the internet breaking a lot lately?

I'm having one of those moments again where I have to shake myself aggressively again. I've been sitting here for days trying to figure out why I'm so tired and am having a hard time moving. And its like.. duh. Chronically ill. ME/CFS. Its right there in the name even. Bacon please. 😩

If you haven't checked it out yet, we have a new episode out where we have a lovely chat with voice actress @senabryer.com. Since the episode I've been getting additional One Piece lore in my DMs. 😂 #Podcast

Pod day! New episode out. I Had SUCH a lovely time. Take a listen!

Heeey, Artist! Quote with your strong woman art! 💪

today had a lot of good news that i needed. actually tearing up reading through all of it.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

TOASTED. Bagels & Coffee says it has received nearly $25,000 in donations in the last 24 hours since announcing the "neighbor's tab" to provide breakfast to those impacted by the SNAP benefits cliff on Nov. 1, no questions asked, at its U-District, South Lake Union and Bellevue locations.

Also please don’t feel guilty. You can’t resist if you don’t survive. Protests aren’t always accessible or safe. We all have different disabilities, boundaries and limits. Do what you can when you can! That’s more than enough. Survival is resistance.

I have to remember when i feel really discouraged over what I *cannot* do, I actually have much better function than I did even just a few years ago. I was reminding myself while making dinner that some of the things I'm doing right now, was just not possible a few years ago. There has been progress

So many folks in my mentions feeling terrible for not being able to protest today b/c of disability, illness, or mental health: GIVE YOURSELF GRACE It’s GOOD for us to find as many ways to fight as possible. The bigger the variety of resistance the better. All you have to do is anything. That’s it.

I officially got my first degree and after 2 years i got my certificate from my school issued as well. 😭I struggle passed my way through college.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

What a day to come back to bluesky. I had to shut everything down in order to focus on stable housing and finishing my classes so I could graduate and holy shit.

New pod episode out. Big fan of this one tbh. Also I just love @blasianbytch.bsky.social and all the things she does. #podcast

another reason to love the library: sometimes you find little gifts in the form of forgotten makeshift bookmarks 😭💖

whatever you think of the country as a whole there are still a whole lot of great people here who deserve better than this

40‘s ain’t old, it’s just too old to be doin dumb shit!!

Every 4th of July, I take the time to read "What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July." Let us begin: "I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us."

I've been quiet because it's absolutely impossible to function normally when your housing is unstable, and I have folks trying to justify to me why me losing medicaid isn't a big deal. Add on top of that aging parental health issues. Just everything is on fire.

On the record, I would LIKE to be able to throw my full support behind American leftist organizations in this dangerous time, which is why it enrages me off so much that groups like DSA and people involved with those groups continue to do grotesque shit like “approve of the death of USAID.”
