🎄 Christmas can be a lonely time of year for some, and that matters. 💛 Even on Christmas Eve, my local library is open and available for most of the holiday period. A powerful reminder of how valuable and inclusive these spaces are #library #libraries #christmas #community #belonging #publicspaces

@dr-esme-louise.bsky.social Hi. Do you have any thoughts on choking?

🚨Our taxes paid for a security net to prevent this kind of nationwide hunger crisis and Trump unilaterally opted to deny using these designated funds. 1/2

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak". But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

Please share everywhere!

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I can’t qWHITE figure out what’s wrong here.

Consider this: for many English speakers, a number of phonemes overlap and sometimes even become a homogeneous goo. So what if we got it backwards? What if, for all these years, we've been calling Nick Cave when we meant to call Nic Cage? Don't get me started on Warren Ellis and Warren Ellis...

Oldie but STILL FKN RELEVANT

i don’t think ICE is ready for the growing resentment and anger they’re going to face

Intersectional humour. Full because it'd be so true...

Better refill your prescriptions now, because you may not be able to get them soon.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt thought that putting lawn signs in front of the White House with a bunch of mug shots was a good idea. Even Kim Jong Un is blushing at this level of propaganda.

Damnit!

Good night, Bluesky. I'm done for the night. Here is an only mildly judgemental Spice the cat to keep you company until morning.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.
