your daily reminder that hope is a floatation device- grab it with both hands 🖤

if you work for ICE you’re evil. if you cheer ICE on, you’re evil. ICE has no positive value in this country. it’s just an outlet for people’s worst, most racist and violent impulses.

It's good to see that Zach Woods has only become more powerful and based with time.

IT'S HAPPENING: House Democrats are introducing articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr for slashing research funding and spreading medical misinformation.

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

This is one of the most amazing discoveries of our time.

George Herriman is arguably one of the first major black artists in comics. And the only reason for that is because NO ONE KNEW HE WAS BLACK. He was light skinned enough to be white passing & hid that fact into old age so that he WOULD be able to continue drawing largely due to rampant racism.

One last thing because this is extremely important due to the darkest of ironies. Felix the Cat is the one of the few classic chars NOT based on minstrelsy. Note the lack of gloves. Felix the Cat was actually a expy/pastiche of George Herriman's Krazy Cat! And this is extremely important because-

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

A fun true fact about my brother is that he was in a production of Arsenic & Old Lace in high school that was attended by Annette Bening.

oh look it’s a helpful list of all the Nexstar and Sinclair ABC stations that I guess one could call if they wanted to complain about them not airing Jimmy Kimmel tonight

I’m fine with the Rapture as long as the man from Mars does not eat my cars and guitars and head

My son is autistic, largely nonverbal. He reads a lot, is smitten with all things Lego. He excels in school. He finds his ways to communicate. There’s nothing wrong with autism. The rhetoric drives me mad. It’s on us to make the world easier for neurodiverse folks, not to push them to conform.

HELL YEAH! SPEAKING OF, I have a portable art museum zine and a website coming out soooooon: www.echoglitter.org

This week an article on LibroMobile’s digital humanities projects was published, and guess what??? I am quoted in it! www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

Fraser-Pryce: "I have had an amazing career and today's (silver) medal is the icing on the cake. My son will be excited. "Today is a full circle moment for me, I was a reserve at my first world championships in Japan in 2007. I couldn't have it any other way."

Kanopy and Hoopla (and Libby) are my best friends right now. Kanopy and Hoopla have so much “old” stuff I love. I love the library!

It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do

I feel like part of the problem is that in the modern era, especially in the United States, people think that in order to count, they have to post about their activism or what they're doing. But here's the thing: you don't. 99% of what I do is stuff I never mention on social media.

FYI I didn’t see thiswith *waves hands* everything going on so maybe you could use this news too? oaklandside.org/2025/09/17/c...

🎉🎉🎉 Paid opportunity!! 🎉🎉🎉 We’re hoping to fill this zine with dozens of incredible illustrations of queer characters throughout history. Please share/tag artists—especially queer, BIPOC, and disabled artists!

This Sunday, Sept. 21, I will be presenting twice at Queer Zest Zine Fest, a free online zine fest. At noon (Eastern), I’ll do a one-hour livestream chatting about and reading from my zines. Then, at 4pm, I’ll moderate a panel of zine librarians. Join us live! Link in next post

❗️Monthly Donation Request❗️ We’re hoping to add another friend to our monthly cash distro, where once a month we send $150 no-questions-asked cash to unhoused & recently housed neighbors! We could use a few more recurring donations to help get us there! Sign up here!: givebutter.com/remorahouse

A lot of libraries also have physical media you can check out. Our local system has movies, audiobooks TV etc. I do realize it’s not practical to always do that, but it’s a good option! Also getting involved in your local library & its board can help!

Gregory Bovino, leader of Trump’s LA and Chicago raids, personally testified that he saw a protestor strike a Border Patrol agent. The jury did not believe him and the protestor was acquitted. The Trump admin is losing these cases left and right. Their credibility with jurors is virtually nil.
