Listen, the world is full of so many horrors--things out of our direct control. We do what we can, as we can. But there's no magick button labeled Fix This Now.
It's important to reach toward joy. Take your meds. Have a snack. Make plans. Laugh. Look at the damn moon.
I’m too young to be this old
This isn’t complicated.
“Every Harry Potter book, movie, video game, stage show ticket, theme park pass, and piece of merchandise that’s sold puts money into Rowling’s pocket, which she can use to keep her crusade against trans people going.”
Happy trans day of Visibility!
I'm a trans refugee artist, and I'm proud to be out even though it cost me a lot.
I embrace all my trans siblings!
Dear cis people, tip or support trans people not only today but as much as you can!
And FUCK this damn woman and her books!

Step by step we are walking to a place where larger and more meaningful actions are possible
Everything is so dark, but there's more hope now of changing this system for real than there has been in my lifetime
Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution.
There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.

An assortment of dwarf hamsters use an early 2000s gateway desktop to pirate music using LimeWire. The hamsters are interacting with nostalgic y2k clutter across the desk, such as eating Bugles, chewing on CDs, playing with a tamagotchi that says “kill me”, and eating pop tarts.
Did you use limewire and how bad did it fuck up your computer?
Wake up babe, this Pride Month we’re defending the fief from the Norman invasion⚔️🌈

Three LOTR frames redrawn with Aragorn as a woman. Frame 1: Aragorn with a swordpoint to her throat, Arwen off camera saying "What's this? A Ranger caught off her guard?"

I just remembered how awesome Aragorn would be as a woman

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.
this goes for so much of the right wing ecosystem. the same guys who scream “DEI hire” would sink to the ocean if they weren’t kept afloat by their far right sugar daddies
Digging into the financials of searchlight, the argument, open philanthropy, third way etc. and it's remarkable how this post-2024 blitz of calling on Dems to abandon the groups and especially trans people, is funded by the same vc and hedge fund billionaires.
>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape.
What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.
This is a great list of techniques for getting real information out of a Google search and avoiding AI slop and paid results.
