CCH Pounder has really only ever played law enforcement, huh? #XFiles #XFilesRewatch

Note to self: cats do not like it when you whistle the X-Files theme.

There's a theme in these lawsuits where a librarian has been fired for refusing to remove books or discriminate against LGBTQ+ folks. They are not losing. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/edu...

Free simulator teaches how to identify swimmers in distress/drowning. Important: drowning ppl can be dangerous to untrained rescuers. Call for lifeguard! If none can help, push float/object toward drowning person, avoid letting them grab you directly, esp in deep water. spotthedrowningchild.com

An audience member asked me about leftist pronatalism.

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

one member of Los Angeles County's board of supervisors has more constituents than the U.S. senators of 12 states

Vince Staples is the generational talent and artist making music for The Moment™️, the “protest music” (art that makes America look in the mirror) that people say they desire. And it sounds good.

I spent months speaking to trans politicians and scholars, as well as one victim of viral transphobia, to write about how trans hatred has become a political strategy to gain votes in Brazil for @globalvoices.org and @noornetwork.bsky.social: globalvoices.org/2026/05/21/a...

This is perfect. Already Betty already. (Fleischer always said she was Black, progressively lightened but always Black.)

This poll seems a lil cauca-skewed.

The fruits of insomnia. I started doodling a poseable art mannequin I found on a flea market 2 weeks ago. Recently, I'd also been reading about Elizabethan occultist/alchemist John Dee, so for reasons that now elude me, I ended up turning him into a Silver Age #MarvelComics superhero. #comics

It’s no coincidence the Trump administration chose May 20 to announce an indictment against Raúl Castro. May 20 is Cuba’s “Independence Day” — but only in Miami. The date isn’t celebrated in Cuba because it marks a long history of U.S. neocolonialism. Journalist Liz Oliva Fernández breaks it down.

He also ran on universal basic income as part of his platform. Congrats, @chrisrabb.com!

this is a masterpiece

Did you all know that Christopher Meloni can piss into a bucket without using hands?

Talek doesn't mind a smattering of rain — but thunderstorms and downpours? That's another matter entirely. Last month she was pacing her stable and pushing the partitions between her stockade and her neighbours. Look at her now though. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/talek

The world’s a little better thanks to Sidney Woodruff, who helped save Yosemite’s native northwestern pond turtle from invasive bullfrogs through a 7-year study and lots of hard work… 🐢

For two years the people of Sweden sacrificed first bulls then men to end the famine that devastated the land. On the third year, they seized their King, Domalde, and sacrificed him to the gods. The next year was prosperous. #MythologyMonday 🖼️: E. Werenskiold

There is a movement to recall Louisiana's intensely fascist and deeply hated governor. The state government political warfare against New Orleans has reached unprecedented levels, per folks there. Please share with your networks.

Me after 1 (one) mismatch on the apps:

It's something borne from a determined belief that simply exonerating Israel of responsibility for the Nakba is not enough, the Palestinians fleeing must be portrayed as something actively malicious in some way.

gwen does fantastic work as usual on some of the 401,000 trans people who’ve had to flee hostile territory in their own country in the past 18 months.

Hannah Einbinder being asked a fluff question about her fashion hot take and answering "as we see a rise in fascism there is a direct correlation with a rise in thinness to make women take up less space" is one of the many reasons I will love that woman forever

“he’s the kind of guy who would go snorkeling at Pearl Harbor” sounds like a hyperbolic insult you would use to convey that someone was particularly dead inside and the other person would laugh because the premise is obviously so ridiculous and yet!

I beaded and studded a Hellvis jumpsuit this week as a rush job. I’ve lost so much sleep but it’s so worth it. When it comes back into town, I get to finish up and do the legs. 😍 #handmade #embroidery #BeadedEmbroidery #Elvis #Hellvis #SequinsSequinsSequins #embellishment

What's also interesting is how the Green Party in the UK has taken off under @zackpolanski.bsky.social's leadership, and Zack too supports UBI, to an arguably greater degree than Andy who, if he becomes PM, would most likely go with a UK UBI pilot instead of actually implementing it like Zack would.

You look at the Gratis Ohio PD webpage, and they have ten officers, multiple vehicles, a canine program and a drone program for a village of just over 800 people. Tons of federal Patriot Act and now ICE money. Far bigger welfare-recipients than these kids they are harassing could ever be.

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

When I attended the ILGA conference last year there was a closed session with the Human Rights Commissioner for the problem cases: Hungary, Albania and the UK. I think this map flatters the UK and we are worse than it shows.

If anyone can print this I will PAY you for copies 🙏 I've tried multiple print sites, the files don't load to them (I suck at tech, but still, I've tried multiple sites) Honestly, I will PAY anyone in the UK who can print & post 10-20 copies.

This is the answer.

This Mother's Day, at least 125,000 mothers will be separated from their minor children because of mass incarceration. Today reminds us again that people behind bars are not nameless “offenders,” but beloved family members and friends whose presence—and absence—matters. #MothersDay

Saverio, a 19 year-old Italian tuxedo cat, is living a happy life in the medieval streets of Poppi (Italy). He has become the official mascot of the village.

"destroying the political power of fascism" doesn't get a mention in this article 🤷

#OtD 10 May 1997 the Can Vies building in Barcelona was occupied by young residents of Sants-La Bordeta. They set up a self-managed social centre, providing social housing, meeting spaces, debates, a popular newspaper publishing office, and more stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8016...

If anyone knows Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, or Evan Goldberg, ask them if it was important for Frenchie to be played by a war criminal or if it was just a personal choice. #TheBoys
