Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Shop local, reuse & recycle if you can.
Buy art & books from friends & strangers if you can.

Post your favorite film from the year you turned 18.
The forest has antlers & thorns, so you should too.
The forest finds beauty in slow decay, so you should too.
The forest hides mysteries in gloom, so you should too.
The forest lets its wildness grow unchecked, so you should too
In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today:
Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.
An image of Peggy and Don from Mad Men with the text “You’re not reacting with the appropriate level of alarm” and “that’s what the dissociation is for” superimposed in Impact font.
If you want revenge, then dig two graves. the first one is a practice grave to get a feel for it and the second is your main or "show grave"
graphic that says in bold lettering "remember: no lilies for kitties. even ingesting a tiny amount of pollen can cause fatal kidney failure. don't risk it." the background is a wallpaper of lily drawings and there is a photo of a perfect, fluffy white cat in the bottom right corner.
This weekend and always, NO LILIES FOR KITTIES. www.fda.gov/animal-veter...
Love this.
A border of mallow flowers in the white, pink, and blue colors of the transgender flag surrounds the words "No LGB without the T" in the center.
For Transgender day of visibility. No LGB without the T. Always.
wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it
Over eight million Americans took to the streets today, which makes No Kings 3 the biggest single day of protest in the history of our country. #NoKings
With the new Harry Potter trailer dropping today, now is a better time than ever to remind everyone that J. K. Rowling's name appears in the Epstein files where she calls Epstein "a very dear friend".
*clickity*

Signal boost: Friends of mine got hit with a major emergency vet bill a couple of months ago and have been struggling since. (They previously posted this through a different crowdfunding site, but had to change due to Issues with that site.)

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
It's ok to not feel ok.
It's ok if your antlers haven't grown in yet.
It's ok if you can't shape-shift into a raven.
It's ok if you haven't haunted the night for a while.
I know you're doing your best, and that's all any of us can do right now.
Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.
Understood instantly what it meant.
I was the first person to call my Congresswoman's office about this bill. It was fast and easy, and the aide I spoke to was pleasant--and horrified when she heard what they're trying to get away with. Please. Help protect our trans siblings.
Found mine under a rock.
have you ever read one of my Discworld QOTDs and thought, hey, I should really get around to reading those books?
good news! the full series is back on Humble Bundle - it’s Kobo but it’s pretty easily to transfer those to your preferred e-reader
you won’t regret it
Title: Ring cameras feed data to ICE to help round up immigrants Subtitle: ✨ Get a full refund direct from Amazon ✨ Body: In the past few months Amazon Ring enabled AI and facial detection by default for all users. Worse, they altered existing features such that your footage can end up in the hands of Flock Safety, the company responsible for 80,000 license plate readers across the country. ICE has been documented using Flock to know exactly where to go to find susceptible community members. Don’t help ICE round up your neighbors. What can I do? You can get a full refund directly from Amazon. Request a refund telling them their agreement with Flock is a breach of trust and invalidates the reason you invested into their security products in the first place. Amazon refunds because what they are doing is blatantly against the Terms and Conditions under which you originally purchased. ➡️ Reolink or Defender PhoenixM2 are great comparable camera alternatives. ➕ Request refunds for Amazon Blink Cameras as well on basis of lost trust.
If you saw the creepy Ring Super Bowl commercial then you know they're manufacturing consent for a surveillance state (that serves ICE) by emotionally blackmailing us with our dogs' safety.
This flyer can be printed out and posted all over, or shared online. Get your $ back, fuck ICE.

Capricorn: Today you will realize that though a filibuster is an excellent political tactic, sometimes grabbing your political opponents by the balls and squeezing until they pop like water balloons can be more effective.
