Imporant ICE tip.

Trans people are worth protecting. Not because we are amazing people (although we are) or because we offer a great deal to society (although we do) or because we are fine as hell (we are). We are worth protecting because we are HUMAN BEINGS, and it’s amazing how often that simple fact is forgotten.

I only did pizza for nine years, but after that (relatively) short time I got so used to the feel of dough that I could judge temperatures within two degrees by hand, nail weights without a scale, and get a full pie from phone to oven in twenty seconds.

All labor is skilled labor.

Ok, you know why I don’t like Gavin Newsom? You know how in While You Were Sleeping, Peter Gallagher’s family all talks about how he rescued a nest of baby birds as a kid, and later he admits he knocked their nest out of the tree with a rock, then made sure everyone saw him rescue it?

That’s Gavin.

DON'T BUY TYPEFACES FROM ADOBE OR MONOTYPE. EVER.

There are better options, ethically, technically and aesthetically:

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Ok, so you “don’t get why accessibility is a big deal”…

…but you take elevators, roll your suitcase, read captions in noisy bars, & appreciate the option to work from home.

Friend, that’s disability justice improving your life.

How a Jamaican student invented a self-disinfecting door handle for hospitals: ‘Design that fits reality’ Today, Rayvon Stewart’s model is celebrated as a symbol of the Caribbean’s growing science and technology talent pool

“Based on what multiple detainees have told me, in the last 72 to 100 hours, there is some respiratory disease which has made the majority, or I would even say vast majority of detainees, sick in some form."

a Norwegian king crab

Cis people being weird about trans people makes me think about king crabs.
Bear with me for this one because it will make sense.
You know king crabs, right? Giant crab, lives up north, has long legs, very expensive and tasty, featured on many a mukbang
Did you know they are technically not crabs? 1/

Even if you don’t mask normally, please mask up when you’re flying or attending conferences. Something is far more than nothing

Comrade card for 3/5/2025.

I’ve now encountered several doctors who see my n95 in their exam room & instead of telling me I “don’t need it” tell me “you’re smart to do that.” Yet, most do not have a mask on themselves nor offer to put one on. Several have told me they’ve had covid half a dozen times & have persistent damage.

And now, a thread of science. masks work.

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

The book cover for Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Activists in Crisis, Edited by Kelly Hayes. The book cover features an artistic rendering of a person with long hair wading into a body of water at night in a wilderness.

Hey fam, my new book, Read This When Things Fall Apart, comes out in three months. That means now is the critical window for preorders, which help get books on shelves, in libraries, and into the hands of the people who need them most. www.pilsencommunitybooks.com/item/vCQt68D...

WHEN WILL COVID NO LONGER BE DANGEROUS?
1️⃣ Most buildings have #DavosSafe tech
2️⃣ We've got a cure for #LongCovid
3️⃣ We have vaccines that prevent contraction / transmission
--
UNTIL THEN, WHAT DO WE DO?
😷 Mask up when around others
📈 Use @michael-hoerger.bsky.social's data to plan
✊ Organize for 1️⃣-2️⃣-3️⃣

The trains got way worse, but the state media TOLD everyone they were running on time.

We're seeing a lot of this, like with how we're all going to be healthier, somehow, without vaccines, testing for food-borne pathogens, cancer research, Medicare or Medicaid, reproductive healthcare, and so on.

a logo image that says - conjured ink. following the logo, the graphic says anti-censorship, pro-weird, seller shop software.

the same text as in the post is on this graphic, followed by a cartoon of a canadian witch girl flying on a hockeystick broom

Itch and Steam got a bunch of us thinking; we need a catalogue where creative (esp. NSFW & Queer) works are less vulnerable to censorship. A storefront we won't be delisted from. One giving us the autonomy to sell our stuff our way. So we're making Conjured Ink. You can join us. https://conjured.ink

Friends, please do yourselves a favor and mask outside in this AQI. I know it might feel silly or sound like overkill. I assure you it is not

caked up mother earth in her thigh high fishnets is stomping in her stripper heels looking back at it. The words say "Milfs for Mother Earth

The earth is once again looking back at it in her fishnets but looks more coy in this one. The words say "Ok so climate change, a couple important things to note: 1) it's not too late to make a difference 2) Every 1/10th of a degree of warming matters 3) Governments need to do most of it 4) Acting as communities really matters. Here are some things we CAN do 1) Ditch cars, take transit 2) Switch to renewable energy 3) get solar for your roof 4)Share stuff, buy less 5) Don't use AI 6) talk to your friends and family about solutions. Details here (which points to a QR)

Mother earth looks at you over her sunglasses over the words "Do something" repeated a bunch of times, then under her it says "Doing anything is better than nothing", "learn how" and a qr

Mother earth is wearing a flower crown and peeking up from the bottom of the page. The words say "Biodiversity When it comes to protecting plants and animals, start by thinking local. Animals usually suffer most from habitat loss and climate change. Solving climate change is hard. Building habitat for wildlife is easier. Every action you take matters. Here's what we can do 1) Create good habitat by planting native plants 2) Stop using pesticides and get others to stop too 3) Kill your lawn, replace with useful plants 4) Fight to preserve wild spaces and to reclaim abandoned land 5) Encourage friends and family to do all this too"

I went into goblin mode last night and completed what is for sure the most unhinged zine I have produced to date.

I'll fold some up tonight and put them around and see how people react lol

If anyone is interested in printing one for your own enjoyment, here ya go drive.google.com/file/d/1eVEW...

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!

And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!

We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

Here is my take on takeout/cooking discourse:

It is none of my fucking business how other people get food into their bodies because I do not know their lives, circumstances, limitations, or practical realities.

But there should be more good, affordable options and the choices suck.

For decades, smoking was as normal & expected as breathing, even doctors smoked on the job. If you had asked people not to smoke, they'd have looked at you like you had 2 heads.

Imagine KNOWING just how dangerous it truly is during that time; that's how it feels to be COVID Competent today.
