Rose the Guzzi has awoken for the season--and damn, have I missed riding

You are never too "old" to do or try things you think you can't outside your 20s It's your life and it's okay to live it how you want to. Be true to yourself

The moments where he says “I” really jump out.

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Words of Radiance, the 2nd Stormlight Archive book. I remember yelling at the page for Sanderson to get out of my head, b/c it felt like some characters and lines were pulled straight from my thoughts. It helped me realize I needed help with my mental health. It *really* made me want to write

HELL YES

Sure. Pile on more cruelty. There's plenty of room on the eat shit and die cake. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Going to shout this out to the ether.... This art style will ALWAYS be more appealing than anything AI can generate.

Oh this bill sounds amazing. Please spread the word and call your reps to tell them to VOTE YES for HR 4678 💜 this would be a huge anti-censorship win.

Let’s Go!! Starbucks baristas just can’t stop winning! These cuties jumped at the chance to vote Union Yes! We’re so excited to welcome the newest kids on the block from Santee, CA! They join the over 11,000 already Union Starbucks workers across the country!👏✊🎉

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of. Call your reps NOW.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

I used to re-read #Psyren every year, but stopped. Recently, I managed to complete my collection of all the volumes, and re-read it again. It's still hard to believe, after all these years, an anime is coming out. To the soon-to-be drifters...you're in for a wild ride

protect trans kids. bc trans adults were once trans kids & we don’t all survive to become one without the support & healthcare we all deserved. 🏳️‍⚧️

I want fully staffed public pools, and libraries that are cathedrals to public goods and a society where walling yourself off with money is viewed as sociopathic.

Be weird. Be cringe. Be all that shit because all that shit is how we envision a better world than the one we live in.

one easy and free way to do this is to email the library and thank them for whatever they're doing that you like

The USPS IS NOT LOSING MONEY. THE USPS IS SPENDING TAX DOLLARS ALLOCATED TO IT BY THE BUDGET. THE USPS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO ZERO OUT ITS BALANCE SHEET IT IS NOT A BUSINESS IT DOES NOT HAVE SHAREHOLDERS. IF THE USPS IS OUTSPENDING ITS BUDGET IT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED MORE BUDGET.

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

We hope for the video to help us to tell our story to more people, and we hope more folks will consider helping us along! If you can, please consider backing #Arisan on #kickstarter or sharing the videos and campaign. Even a little goes a long way! Link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/526...

It took *way* longer than expected, and I discovered I need a new front sway-bar end link, but the Mazda has new brake rotors & pads

Car Sky hive mind, anyone have any experience with anti-seize lubricant for putting on wheel hubs before replacing the rotors? Should I use a copper one, non-copper one?

Hey, for my fellow USians, please be sure to call your representatives to push back against the reskinned KOSA. We've seen how powerful it is when we all speak out like against Discord, but they're trying to make that harder everywhere. It'll be worth 5 mins now vs. years (if ever) later!

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE: -the KIDS Act -KOSA -the Screen Act -Sammy's Law -the App Store Accountability Act And additionally, oppose: -reforming/sunsetting Section 230 -online age verification/ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

Morning #Arisan update! My hope is us reaching TEN new people today who can support the campaign. If you know someone who loves comics or independant art, please take time to share the link with them directly. Also, made a little profile update! Campaign Link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/526...

One thing that helps me, often, is to remember that all you can do is try. Make a gesture. Make the effort. Do the thing. See what happens. And whether or not someone reaches back or out or meets you halfway is on them. Not you. You've done the thing. Wait and see, etc.

One was a farmer and a blacksmith (8th generation of the latter). The other was a very local official--I believe City Hall-level or so--for the village

A long overdue reckoning for Henrietta Lacks — the Black woman whose cancer cells led to breakthroughs but were harvested without her consent. Novartis has settled a lawsuit by Lacks’ estate that alleged the pharmaceutical giant profited off her cells. https://bit.ly/3NgCeBs

DO NOT LET ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WALK AROUND THINKING THEIR CONSTITUENTS DON’T CARE

Call if you possibly can. 5calls.org/issue/iran-i...

Just read the text of the bill and made a call and will be doing so pretty regularly as I have been. But man is this just one of the most blatant and poorly written attempts as culture war "think of the children" nonsense I've ever seen. It'd almost be funny if it weren't people's lives at stake.

Looking for a way to stand up for trans people today? Here's something you can do RIGHT NOW: Take ten minutes to get on the phone and help stop this violent, dangerous bill. The linked post has all the resources you need to make that call. Go go go

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

Being trans is a joy and a gift! Some folks are trying to take away that joy! We will not let them! We will become even more trans and more joyful as time goes on!

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org
