At the beginning of the year, I made the decision to buy and read books only by women/femme authors, mostly BIWOC. This is my completed read list so far since January. What should I read next? @bookshop.org @libro.fm @thestorygraph.com #BlackHistoryMonth #WomensHistoryMonth #2026Reads

If anyone in the US was considering giving up meat, it seems like a good time to give that a go.

“I came here to kill Popes and fuck couches, and I’m all out of couches.”

Please let JD Vance killed the Pope become the new JD Vance fucked a couch.

The fossil of a Jurassic bird unearthed in southeastern China has major implications for the history of avian evolution, researchers say.

Have you ever taken a photo that you were so excited to see if it turned out that you just left? This is, unquestionably, unequivocally the best unedited image I have ever taken. 100% unmanipulated. No filters, no edits—just pure, incredible timing. #birds #photography #photo #EastCoastKin #heron

NEW: A group known as the 'puppygirl hacker polycule' has leaked thousands of police training & policy manuals from departments across the country www.dailydot.com/debug/lexipo...

If they were able to change the Gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America that quickly… imagine what else has been changed to match the desires of the oppressors? Imagine what else has been strategically erased from our history?

Reposting as Sagan is so prescient from 30 years ago.

My life has begun its violent implosion. I have less than 3 weeks to move or I risk actual eviction. I'm totally lost and I have no idea where to even start trying to fix this or put out the fires of my catastrophic life. Everything is a big help right now. www.paypal.com/paypalme/syl...

I am having a real hard time with how "unremarkable racists react to black people doing things" is just a regular part of the conversation about black art on social media. It always makes the art feel subordinate to whiteness, like we can't talk about black people without finding a white lens first.

If you decide to take a break from social media, don't announce it. Instead, make your last post something interesting like, "Guys, there's the cutest family of black bears over there. I'm gonna go grab a photo. brb."

This is a concentration camp setting up in Guantanamo, a clearly worse one that will result in even more deaths than our current terrible prisons and immigrant camps. If this isn’t a red line for congress, what possibly could be? Protest! Source and more info at NYT archived link: archive.ph/PT6J3

If he won't watch Wicked with you while practicing shibari and simultaneously discussing how the film is the perfect "baby's first fascism," story, what are you even doing with him???

I’ve opened three birthday cards and I’m already up 150 dollars. I love being a postal worker

what do you dream about?

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration for refusing to issue passports with accurate sex designations for transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people. This action violates the Constitution.

Get to DC this weekend if you possibly can. Otherwise get to your state capital or protest at local government buildings. Remember to take pictures and post them and spread the protest as much as you can. Courage is contagious! #3E #USProtests

Korea's attempted coup was no less dangerous or politically protected by career opportunists and cowards than the current coup in the US was. It was shut down in 6 hours. The president was in jail within weeks. It's only impossible to resist if you are convinced it is impossible to resist.

This shit is why it’s always so bizarre to me that liberals think law will be enough to protect them. The entire US police force is full of HEAVILY radicalized bigots who want the ability to kill with impunity.

Sometimes I'll just make thumbnail graphics for YouTube videos that don't exist.

HEADLINE: CDC posts, then deletes, data on bird flu spread between cats and people. The data which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. It is evident the CDC is being muzzled SO let’s talk about what YOU can do to PROTECT yourself AND your pets. 🧪🧵 ⬇️

The stories you’ll hear this season are shocking and upsetting. But we owe it to the people who had the courage to share them to bear witness to their suffering, their fortitude, their survival. #Holocaust #MakingGayHistory: The Nazi Era is available where you get podcasts. 🔉 bit.ly/mgh-season14

People care. People are fighting. Please don't think that no one cares. Please fight back where you can. Maybe you can't march. Call your reps. Reach out to local orgs to volunteer, or donate what you have. Build ties in your community. There is something you are good at. Use it to fight for good.

Today is my birthday! 🎉♥️🎂 And I would love it as a birthday present if you could help me share and spread the word about my work.✨

how men treat trans women is exactly how they'd treat any woman if they felt they could get away with it, and now they do

Today is my birthday! 🥳 Here's to another year of painting silly pictures (and having a blast while doing it)<3

Remember. It’s never: We fight for (these people) because maybe we’re more at risk if we don’t. No more Niemölling. We fight because they are coming for anyone. Every single person matters. Each and every human being’s life and safety is worth the fight.

I was a skeptic but I actually had a really good phone call with vlad the impaler and now believe him to be fit to serve in the cabinet ok it’s called bipartisanship

when trans & queer people are 🤏 this close to being deemed “pornographic” by the government AND a bill was just introduced to ban all porn and their workers via Project 2025… if you’re anti-porn, you’re anti-queer. I do not trust you.

- racist DOGE guy (redundant) canned - federal judge upholds birthright citizenship - another judge blocks voluntary resignation - NY state going to court over treasury business - patel put on ice for at least a week

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Please help if you can; share if you cannot 🙏🏾💙

I would like a word with whoever taught cis people that if they see a trans person who is upset about the rise of transphobia, they have to tell them they’re “valid” I’ve been out as trans for 13 years. I know I’m a man, I don’t need your personal validation, maybe protest against fascism instead?

Yall are supporting 100 HRT Harm Reduction Toolkits a day. 🥹 That is *100 years* worth of HRT support for trans people being created *every day*. Hell yes, this rules!! 🏳️‍⚧️⛑️

I just called all my reps using 5calls extremely helpful contact info and script. Got through to one, left a voicemail for another, and had to dig up Adam Schiff's website contact page because the voicemail was full and you're not getting rid of me that easy. You should do it too. 5calls.org

So now that Trump has banned trans people from participating in sports and trans teens from getting transition-related care, all of the "but we just have some concerns" people will surely come out strong in opposition to additional attacks on trans rights, yes? No? Ah well, nevertheless.
