A bouquet of sphagnum for you on this wild Spring morning ❤️ @sphagnums.bsky.social @claireissimo.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social @communitywetlands.bsky.social @peatlandecr.bsky.social
Anyone who didn't walk out on the spot is part of the problem.
I really wish americans had this built into them we really wouldnt be knee deep in billionaires
A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
this is what teenagers in movies looked like during the iraq war
They are so real the realest

A map of the Black Massacres in American history from Reconstruction to 2015. Circled is the 1873 Colfax Massacre which occured 153 years ago today
Easter Sunday, April 13, 1873. Colfax, Louisiana.
Some 60-150+ Black men were slaughtered while defending a courthouse where they'd won a legal election.
After a white mob set the courthouse on fire, the defenders attempted to surrender, but instead were hunted down and executed.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE
My shoulder still hurts but we balling. Thankful for modern medicine. 💊

I’m making this so i can come back in the future and maybe say what has changed
He’s not on this platform afaik and about half a world away but we spend so much time playing games and watching things these past few months
I wish I could spend a day in person with him and I tell them all the time. But he’s European and it’s too hard to travel that far right now

I’d worship sphagnum moss before I worship Jesus or God, but is this really upsetting MAGA? Like after everything else yeah right they’ll forget this in a month. Song and dance.
They keep acting as if there aren't droves of white people on the same fuckshit without that. That all these moments of violence rooted in whiteness over generations to our present are some aberration and not the norm for them.
They are pathetic cowards when they keep doing shit like that.
It really is a type of violence to me. Their main promises are surveillance and job loss, and they poison us by just being present. Just class warfare machines
So just to make sure I have this right:
Iran isn't letting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, and that's bad. So to stop that, we won't let ships through the Strait of Hormuz, and that's good.
- No food in supermarkets
- No work
- No schools/ childcare
- No postal service
- No refuse collections
- Total isolation for hundreds of people
- Businesses shutting down, some permanently
- Massive increase in domestic violence
This is just off the top of my head
DAYS AWAY

We passed $1 trillion in credit-card debt in the US less than 2 years ago and no one blinked
We're now well past a quarter of the way to $2 trillion
There is no American institution or mechanism that is going to remove Trump or meaningfully limit his ability to kill people via the "Department of War."
If you are low on 🪫 / 🥄? I promise you there's nothing you can do to influence the removal of Trump from office at this time.
so is this it, then? just everyone constantly on eggshells to not evoke a fucking nuclear strike? that's the state of the world now, then?
Israel bombing a synagogue in Tehran is the kind of symbolism that would feel too heavy-handed in a work of fiction.
But yeah. That tracks in this ridiculous timeline.
May God bring comfort and safety to the Tehran Jewish community.
I'm sure there will be no long-term consequences to all of us veering between hypervigilance over potential nuclear war and trying to go to work because none of us can afford to pay our bills and may still be trying to recover from health consequences from the pandemic we're pretending didn't happen
Greetings, fellow member of "I'm not sure how many times I've almost died" club. Greetings and solidarity.
Stopping myself from normalising Israeli horrors is an endless process.
When they bombed my hometown, I thought:
only this many people died
at least they didn’t take down an entire building
at least they’re not annihilating my entire hometown like they’re doing in the south
This isn’t normal
You'd be surprised how many people look shocked when I suggest giving money for a gas fund for anti-ICE patrollers.
"Someone should do something!"
Well, what are we doing to enable that person to get shit done?
You can write a nice longer resolution with articles of impeachment laying out the case in detail; I've done it before and seen it introduced. But it is not a procedural necessity. The House can vote on a literally one-sentence impeachment resolution if it wants, that's perfectly valid.
