The point is that we can wrap our anti-fascism in the stars and stripes. And we should.

Trump Deports a Legal US Resident to Censor Criticism of Israel Hey welcome back to my new channel, Documenting the Collapse of US Democracy! I know this must be strange for those of you who preferred the old format of discussing science and critical thinking b…

As a patron commented on today's video, the US is now a few lines into "First They Came" skepchick.org/2025/03/trum...

The people who claim to be on the right side of history keep showing up just to lose in new ways. Sitting there for applause lines, acting like any of this still has legitimacy—it dignifies a system that has none.

What the heck am I doing here?? I don't even make Indian food all that often!! (mmmm Indian food is my greatest comfort food!!) How do I keep doing this?? (I'm not even going to see how many cumin canisters I have...)

Got both an MMR and a TDAP "You gotta get 'em dip-tet boosters yearly or else they'll develop lockjaw and night vision!" because fuck RFK Jr!

heeheehee I see what you're doing there! 😆👍🖤

Normally my ADHD and trauma response requires me to be 100% aware and complete situational awareness. Today, I'm wearing the earbuds I spent too much on a cpl years ago and rarely use to mad jam on Pink Floyd. My anxiety at being so unprepared to hear threats around me is HIGH but I'm jammin'! 😅

Spending the day in my local library branch, listening to Steely Dan, working on my Craft. Journaling, planning for March (an auspicious month for me!!) Trying to stay positive and active!

A very lovely chill, cloudy, rainy day!! 😊 I love it! I wish I could drive and drive, to to coast, possibly...
Think I'll go do some writing somewhere...

No, I Will Not Welcome Ex-MAGA to the Resistance As I’ve mentioned here before, I am on BlueSky, and overall I quite like it. Friendly interface, effective tools for curating your feed and/or blocking and muting people, and most of the people I l…

Just a little rant today: please stop telling me to be nice to the Nazi sympathizers once they claim to stop sympathizing

Aww lil Baphy goes everywhere with me! 😍 I need to get a smaller keychain version too 🖤 (in case you're curious, the circle is Vegvisir, the oldish Icelandic sigil for not getting lost 😁. And a Cascadia flag. Half hoping the US balkanizes at this point...)

Oh no! My cereal has gone woke! LOL DEI cereal, watch out! Seriously, I imagine there's video out there of some guy wearing douchey sunglasses sitting in his truck that's never been used for truck things, crying into a video about how woke cereal's become and it's RUINED breakfast for him! 🤣

*FUN tankard, not "run" LOL! what the flip is up with being unable to edit your posts in Bluesky?? :O

Don't need to have a special occasion, Pirate party, or Ren Faire to enjoy your daily diet soda in a run tankard that makes you smile!! #simplepleasures #tankardlife

Christian Right tips to fight transgender rights: separate the T from the LGB Last week, from Thursday, October 13 through Saturday, October 15 the anti-LGBT hate group Family Research Council put on its annual Values Voter Summit in Washington, DC., A prime networking event fo...

Here's a 2017 article about the plan to use feminist and 'left-wing' language to 'split the letters'. I genuinely cannot tell you how enraging it's been to watch it be planned and executed to the letter, out in the open, and still see people falling for it.

www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Just in case people don't know the context, this is a policy called splitting the letters, developed by fundamentalist Christians to use feminist and queer language and culture to split the T off and then turn the others against each other.

You can watch their 2017 conference planning it.

I will give cash monies* to anyone who can find me the clip of Gilbert Gottfried yelling, "Crackers?? CRACKERS?! You! unGRATEful, BASTARD!" in a sketch from "The State" TV show from the mid-90s!
*ok, I can't afford cash monies, but I'll give you... uhm, stickers! I have stickers!

THIS! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

OK Amazon, seriously... if you're not going to ACTUALLY give me a Kindle Unlimited discount, stop directing ads for me to sign up for a discounted KU like 10 times a day!!!

Yay!! Got out my ol holiday friends! Moosy, Hearthy, Shnowtree, and especially my all-time holiday bestie for like, I dunno, 20 years I think at least... Gingerblob Guy!! 💚❤️💚❤️

Who here is inclined to agree?

Works for me.

I need to get back to studying for my HAM radio license!
During the PNW bomb cyclone last wk that created so much damage up n down the coast, there were many places where cell service was down. HAM ops were key to communication!
HAM isn't just for hobby-talkin to other suspender-wearing grognards 😁

Things are feeling bleak for the trans community, and you've probably heard some variation of "We've survived this before." And maybe you think "a lot of us DIDN'T!" That's very true...

But it also helps to know what you're up against, and what worked before.

So let's talk about HOW we've survived

@scalzi.com Hi! Just wondering, would you maybe consider being on "Sword and Laser" podcast's 500th episode, coming here soon? 😁 #swordandlaser
