This isn't hyperbole. At least 85 little girls are dead from one of our strikes at their school.

Now's a really good time to remember that Saddam was also a brutal dictator, but toppling his regime the way we did - especially with de-Ba'athification afterward - paved the way for ISIS. And don't let anyone tell you "other Muslim countries are happy!" until you understand Sunni/Shia politics.

Our dear friends in Iran, I promise not all Americans - or even a majority of Americans - want this. And we will keep advocating for peace in your communities and ours as strongly as we can. ๐Ÿ–ค

It will always confuse me how a community that is defined by its suspicion of existing power structures and embrace of non-mainstream ideas so easily falls prey to fascist bullshit

It's just an offsite events position during the con season, but I'm hopeful it could lead to more regular work eventually. Plus I'd get to go to Comic Con and all of the book festivals for free! So fun ๐Ÿ’–

Looks like my lil' poster presentation did the trick, because my fave bookstore emailed me to talk about an unlisted position they might want to hire me for! Got this fortune the next day, so the Gods are clearly doing their thing. ๐Ÿ˜‰

What a strong little one you must have been to assert yourself so young! It makes me happy to be able to align with what your internal self knows. Thanks for sharing ๐Ÿ–ค

It's always fascinating how we evolve on these journeys. I feel similarly when people refer to me as bi, now that I identify as pan. For future reference, do you prefer they/them or he/him or something else?

This is one of the things that angers me the most. Deities like Hekate could potentially go back to ancient Crete, but even some textbooks still show the "snake goddess" figurine without mentioning it was a reconstruction with no evidence for accuracy.

๐Ÿ’ฏ. From someone who used to work with refugees, hear me: take screenshots and keep evidence. Hope we never need it later but you never know.

Yeah I'd like to see what the fuck @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has to say for himself after normalizing this shit. Actually, no. I wouldn't l.

I think the list will be removed soon. Just unnerving to be out on a list the same day trans ppl in Kansas got those letters

This is honestly destroying me. Other countries need to start accepting trans applicants for asylum.

Now's the time to put you money where your mouth is if you claim to be a queer ally. Help trans folks in Kansas get out while they can. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

Hopefully it's just an incel loser, but given the Kansas license news tonight, I highly recommend everyone on the #witchsky #occultsky fake MAGA list takes a screenshot of their name on it. If things ever devolve enough to require fleeing, evidence of persecution is required for refugee status.

Fucking hell. I sincerely hope this is just a basement dwelling loser and not something more sinister

I'm so glad you do this. I did the same with my humanitarian work. It was awful navigating bigots online while working on the genocide in G. I'd get overwhelmed w/ the trauma, but then remind myself to look at the photos of the kiddos who had full bellies because of the work. Hope it's ok to share ๐Ÿ–ค

I'm so glad you stuck to your gut. Our intuition is rarely wrong, even if we can't always quite place why. You likely protected other members of the group, which ultimately was your biggest responsibility. So whether they realized it at the time or not, I hope those folks feel gratitude to you now.

It's literally a fascist ideology in itself. Just absolutely disgusting.

Omg I've been looking at her photos trying to figure out if she's also a Schnauzer. Then I saw these eyes and ... there is absolutely zero doubt ๐Ÿคฃ. I've definitely seen those bashful eyes on this little gal
