happy #lesbianvisibilityweek!

Happy National Library Week! This week you should:
1) Donate $ to your local Friends of the Library

2) Write to your public library director to thank them for standing up for diversity or to condemn them for caving to fascists

3) Plan a similar public comment for the next library board mtg

a man says i think they know in a white shirt Alt: a man says i think they know in a white shirt

Wondering if people know Kaleidotrope is open to submissions this week. Checks email.

A digital illustration of two japanese lesbians flirting in a queer underground bar in the 80s. One of them wears a blue jacket, the other a suit, while in the background there's liquor and a multitude of little stickers and illustrations of lesbian and queer marks.

The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here"

The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨

god forbid a girl has hobbies

I hate communism! I’m a white guy from Argentina and my grandparents fought against the soviets in WW2!

Close-up of a beluga at the surface of the water. It has a lot of scars

Could have kissed a beluga today if the mood had taken me

"Grendel saw the knot of sleeping warriors and his eyes shone with an unearthly light."

-Kevin Crossley-Holland's translation of Beowulf.

This article spends most of its word count focused on USPS not delivering care packages to supplement the lack of food and hygiene products and almost none on the fact that we have deployed thousands of troops for a Not War without the resources to provide for them.

harry potter definitely feels like it's on the same trajectory as AI -- it's become so reviled that their only hope is to cram it in everything in hopes that you'll accept it as unavoidable. But, like with AI, if we stay strong, it will fail.

A new report reveals monthly, 62 million men, mostly from USA, visit a website that teaches them how to drug & rape their spouses, prostitute them to other men, & broadcast it online for other men to pay & watch.

Here's the hard truth...

all these seemed the strange calm things preluding some riotous and desperate scene

A pile of multicolored stickers, black stars on top, with the text “resist AI”

Someone just ordered TWENTY of my anti-AI stickers! I hope to see these slapped on lampposts all over Toronto.

transphobes think all trans people are being societally forced into being trans because every cis person spent their entire formative years being societally forced to perform their gender correctly and can't accept that they didn't actually like it

A picture of a library shelf with a small rolled up note on it. The note says “read this” in child’s handwriting.

A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

i can't believe i'm only now finding out there's a nationwide 3d imax screening of werner herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams happening tomorrow. that's a beg, borrow or steal level of movie ticket

Welcome to Heroism - Uncanny Magazine Nobody read the Terms of Service. They were in a rush to watch the latest unbelievable must-see content from someone who probably died seconds later. It seemed like as soon as anyone knew The Dare exi...

John Wiswell's short story "Welcome to Heroism" Is available for free online from Uncanny Magazine, and I think everyone ought to read it. There's some messaging that hits hard given what is going on in the world.

I was a city councilor in a smaller city that had 54 percent of its budget devoted to police funding. I suggested finding ways to cut that budget or save money through efficiencies; fellow councilors stopped talking to me. Now they’re doubling residents’ water bills for extra police funding

Check your city budget and you will likely be shocked. By budget, most American cities are basically giant police departments with a library, street maintenance and parks barely hanging on like three starving lampreys on a giant shark

Pope Leo honey. Now you sitting there with all that gold & jewels talking about colonialism & fascism & white supremacy? Now where’d your gold & jewels come from? Give them back & back up your words sweetheart. But you still a real one.

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

The tone of her "The Mount" is *so weird* (adulatory); like, it's a highly kinky setup (what if aliens came and treated us, quite literally, like horses) with deep symbolic resonance, treated with all the apparent innocence of a John Christopher Tripod book. Great writer.

The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity Check out The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity - <b>From award-winning writer Sarah Schulman, a longtime social activist and outspoken critic of the Israeli war on Gaza, comes a brilliant examinati...

As a reader, I’ve surpassed the point of being like “Sarah Schulman’s new book is one of her best yet” to wanting to buy a box of copies and start mailing it to people. And I deeply, deeply hate having to put things in the mail.

This book is about why solidarity is so difficult and so necessary.

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

That brought a loud round of boos, and one of the white women lawyers (who said she specialized in defending men accused of sexual assault) said that she'd never seen a woman assaulted who "hadn't gone through a slut phase, and that sends a signal to men."

Everyone there was a lawyer. Everyone.
