Californians remember to vote today. Do NOT put it in the mailbox, the deadline has long since passed and there’s fuckery afoot. Drop it off at a drop box at the library or vote in person.

I sincerely beseech you to read this. It is terrifying and important. Repost it, get the word out. Tag media like @npr.org & @nytimes.com @wsj.com and whoever because this is absolutely something that needs to be investigated & reported on ASAP The headline isn't the half of it. READ IT ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@magpiarts.bsky.social Thought you'd appreciate. <3

the FCC wants to make trans existence in television “explicit” and require warnings the House is trying to ban all books by or about trans people — right now — YOU SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT?? C A L L Y O U R R E P S ~please!~

Votesaveamerica.com is a godsend every election cycle for me, so I can go in before voting, input my location, and then they list everything that will appear on the ballot for my area, and go into all the info about each option and let you make your own pre-ballot to copy from at the polling place.

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

So that was complete bullshit, A Fox In Space / Fredryk Phox / Matthew Gafford isn't contrite at all like his friends said & he's back to streaming today & pretending nothing is wrong. No apology to fans, no explanation why he's stayed friends with & financially supported Reaganlodge, a neo-nazi.

I have been a member of one or more credit unions my entire adult life, and I genuinely believe this is what the online community needs to get out from under the heel of censorship and de-banking. Please express your interest using the (non-binding, anonymous) survey below:

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

This is your periodic reminder to check with your local political groups if you're able. National/state politics is a slog, but you'd be surprised what a difference you can make at the municipal and county level.

Haha, we whipped our local Republican party so bad in the last two elections that they completely dissolved! My town's gone from racists marching in the streets to our progressive candidates running unopposed this year — that's HUGE in a migrant-heavy community with ICE sniffing around.

@kclt.bsky.social We all know what ramparts you're thinking about...

if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!

Airport bound? ICE is assisting TSA, and border checks are up. Don't wipe your phone—it's a red flag 🚩 1️⃣ Android: Power off, boot up, don't unlock, switch to Guest Mode. 2️⃣ iOS: Disable Face ID to force Passcode (5th Amdt protected). Step-by-step guides attached 👇🏾

@ecmajor.bsky.social Of everyone I know, I figure you'd get the most use out of this. ;3

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

Self employed creatives in the US rely deeply on the USPS. We have been sounding the alarm bells about this for years. UPS and FedEx currently set prices to compete with the low prices of the USPS. Imagine what would happen without that baseline to keep them in check. This matters to everyone.

Are you a trans person in the US looking to relocate from a high-risk state to a lower risk state? Did you know there’s a $10,000 no-interest loan you can apply for to help you do that? Link here and more info in thread below hfls.org/move-to-thri...

This is really important. The FRB is soliciting feedback on a proposal that would require banks to accept any legal transaction. Please leave a comment in support of this. It's simple, takes like a minute and you can do it anonymously. There just needs to be more feedback on this issue.

I'm always hesitant to buy into Some Reddit Post in the age of slop but all the cited sources are real so like. That's fun. That's cool.

Getting to feel hopeless w/ all the news and seeing so many ppl on here talking about 'what's the point of calling' and 'well everyone else is calling so *I* don't have to call' whenever this stuff happens. Please take it seriously. Call paypros. Call your reps. We need help NOW.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say: If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:

Heard nothing about that second bit so far. 28-24 is the Entire democratic wing of the committee voting against and two republicans abstaining entirely. Not a great sign for the bill, this puts it in a very precarious position for the floor vote.

Big news, and not good news, but luckily for us we have time. It needs to get to the committee of rules FIRST before heading to the main house chamber. This means our fight is not over. We will need to fight HARDER #savespeech #notodigitalid

@cynosura-ad.bsky.social @goopypanther.bsky.social @phenokage.bsky.social I don't know if they're true (wikipedia didn't mention anything) but there were some facts in this video I thought you all might find Interesting. www.youtube.com/shorts/RYCVi...

@phenokage.bsky.social Can't reply, but based on recent bleats I'm guessing you've been playing Slay the Princess?

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off. Leave your comment here: eplanning.blm.gov/Participate-... morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ...

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE it will result in dead trans people and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing you see the pipeline right? we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant hapus / Happy St David's Day! I thought I'd take this day to share some Welsh art and the stories that inspired them! Thread 🧵

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production. you have until March 23rd to comment. i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

TCP is also accepting applications for volunteers, including case management, legal counsel, application review, and on the ground folks to help with actually moving people, as well as people able to help host those they assist during a move. If you have time or an expertise they need, consider it

Kansas lawmakers bypassed the committee process by doing a whole bill amendment and pushing this in two days. They then overrode the governors veto. They used emergency designation to make it go into effect immediately. There's no grace period. The amount of targeted animus here is staggering.

The letters arrived today. Not last week, not two weeks ago when it was passed or a week ago after the veto was overridden. They arrived the night before the changes were live so no one could do anything about it, just to rub it in and be able to say they’d given notice.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

In 1938, the German Reich invalidated all German Jewish passports. They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as a Jew. In 2026, the state of Kansas invalidated all correct trans drivers licenses. They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as trans.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

And this is why I prefer Mastodon, even though I have/use an account here, because most of my friends are here only. (If you're on Mastodon and I'm not following, give a shout! I tried to find everyone when I migrated off Twitter, but I'm hardly perfect. :p)

The form letter is nice but we could really use to have people calling. Please contact the senate directly. Call whoever represents you. Call people who *don't*. If you live in WI, just fucking call, please. legis.wisconsin.gov

@spottycheeks.bsky.social Hey, you mentioned wanting to get into Discworld just recently ... good news! :D
