People having to be uprooted from their homes to be safe is frankly infuriating, but here we are. Donate if you can.

What we are asking if you live in NYC is that you not passively sit back and expect that things will "happen" or "change" but to be actively involved in making things happen and to change them. Do the very small thing of sending a letter to your Council member & CALL THEM. It's really easy to do.

Are you nominating for the Rhyslings ( @sfpoetry.bsky.social), Nebulas, or Hugos ( @sfwa.org)? I've got poems for you! Links in the thread below.

I'm very proud of the work I did last year, including the poem @kambriel.com and I cowrote. (Spoiler alert: writing poetry with a friend is wonderful!!)

My ACA insurance bill is 3K a month and I'm ready to sell feet pics. Somebody hire me to write and edit things and offer great benefits.

If anyone is making a #Comics4Liam but could use a letterer to lend a hand, please reach out to me.

Stop posting excerpts of my work as if it’s your own please. This paragraph was not written by the person below. It’s from my newsletter: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/a-nation-o...

Oh lord this was in Maine?

Listen the personality of each state has been coming through in the way they resist.

This.... Is gonna be something. Whew.

We need to stop assuming he or the Dems think this is a failure .

If they did think beyond

“Ooh Trump crazy better do what we say “ they’d act like it

ICE is a force of evil and must be defunded and abolished for democracy to survive.

Can someone on the ground near a detainment camp start a volunteer transport network? People could sign up to drive refugees home, one leg of the trip at a time. Animal rescues have moved dogs cross-country this way for years.

HELP JUNO! She is an amazing journalist , person and advocate for those on here who also need help. Also a great friend! Help her or at least boost!

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

This is the same as issuing a death sentence to ten thousand people. It's not just cruel, it's murderous.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Look, I know everything's on fire, but.... **jazz hands**

I'm really proud of the work I did last year.

Sadly, we all know the bad guys… A.k.a. our government… Don’t follow the rules. Don’t put yourself in harms way if you can help it… Democracy dies in silence! Quite the conundrum. #lambchop #ice #demo... TikTok video by Mallory Lewis

Good morning ..

What Level of Fascism are we at when Lambchop is issuing guides to resisting fascism while ranking Senators are talking about “training”

Maybe this is finally the moment Southern California can point to for the national Democratic party for why they should stop pushing Gavin Newsom for president.

That sounds like it would be giving yourself a lovely comfort hug! If you do, hope it's a great time!

We're coming together on here to do something meaningful together to close out the year and that's to get @psabortionfund.bsky.social to their $75,000 funding goal so they can open in the new year and continue their important work. Join us if you can!

Still trying to also get to 50% of our funding goal for the Black Zine Fair by midnight: gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f...

So happy that Laura is spearheading this. I am excited to go back to my DJ roots and to do a shift from 8 to 9 pm ET tonight. Please support @psabortionfund.bsky.social - secure.actblue.com/donate/skyfu...

Just walked outside to leave for home from work and the Sanata Ana winds greeted me. It's been a bit since they have really shown up and apparently I missed them.

Not truly surprising. It was a snarky response using the song. The Stone probably have skeletons and it was definitely not a response using the musicians as paragon of virtue.

Only sympathy for the devil I have

I've got a feeling / This year's for me and you | dansinker.com

I wrote a little thing about "Fairytale of New York" and about hope for a better year, but mostly I wanted to share the rendition of the song played at Shane MacGowan's funeral in 2023 because it's so beautiful. Happy Christmas, I love ya baby. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

If you want to see universal childcare happen in NYC, there are people currently organizing their hearts out to do just that. JOIN THEM.

The investigation is ongoing and there are a myriad of true crime stories where wonderful parents are murdered by their children for other reasons. Never met any of the Reiner family, so no ideas from me. I'm waiting for the investigation to be complete and if anyone is charged and goes to trial.

This is terrible. Will keep an eye out for how the community decides to respond. abc7.com/post/8-anahe...
