Legal citizenship should be virtually effortless to obtain and near instantaneous to process, and should be paired with sweeping grants of asylum.

I loved the first two books. Viv was very much like an npc orc mercenary who fell for a nonbinary elf pharmacist in my D&D campaign, so I was thrilled.

Rheba Hamilton, 73, said she tried to dissuade her landscaper, who she knew was undocumented, from hanging Christmas decorations at her home this weekend. But he agreed to the job, understanding the risks. “We will keep our fingers crossed,” Ms. Hamilton told him. He arrived at her home just before 9 a.m. on Saturday. Within minutes, Border Patrol agents did, too. “The pit of my stomach fell out,” Ms. Hamilton said. She began to record the agents as they spoke to the landscaper in Spanish. After the agents noticed her phone, they got back in their vehicles and drove away, Ms. Hamilton said. The landscaper then left his ladders and drove home. But soon, Ms. Hamilton said she heard that he went off to another job. He still needed to work.

Folks, it can make a difference

Oh, that one’s definitely on my list to read!

“Why aren’t they banning trans men from sport”

They were before, and they are now, I’ve watched my mutual (@geekyjules.julessherred.com) go through this for months whilst people chat shit about shit they don’t know about

I am dying

I feel sorry for the utensils I use straight out of the dishwasher. They haven't had time to relax with their friends in the drawer and instead are being thrust straight back into work. Sorry favourite coffee spoon.

An interview in my fanzine with the band Morphine

Morphine interview from my fanzine (1995). A formative moment for me. The day after my first night in London, alone, as a teenager. I was spat on by some tough looking lads in Hackney while trying unsuccessfully to find my way back to the flat of a friend of a friend, then having finally found it...

秋の浅間山。時久保にて。

too real lol

I also want updated hvac in all public places. We really dropped the ball on that one.

Masking would be less important if we hadn't.

"We have more tools now"

Theoretically. We're not using them.

Just bought the Coral Bones ebook based on this!

Well that is super-cool! I thought it was going to be an exceedingly bizarrely shaped sunspot until I read the article.

*record scratch*

yup that’s me, you’re probably wondering how i ended up in this situation

Hi Womble! Rereading Acceptance (Jeff VanderMeer, Southern Reach Series 3, print) for book club and The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (Becky Chambers, Wayfarers 1, audio w Patricia Rodriguez narrating) for research (ecocriticism conference presentation this summer).

A sure sign that my cat has been up to no good is when she sees me and immediately tries too hard to act casual.

I submit that there's some -ism driving states to make decisions based not on what is most beneficial to them, but on what is most exasperating and existentially befuddling to observers.

Loony Toons ass international order

Just wanted to note that a LOT of people at this event told me they heard about it on Bluesky! Huge high five to all y'all - hugely appreciate your coming!

And YES, Bluesky is a good place to organize. :-) If you're in a progressive group, tell 'em to post here!

Well fuck me I was following this person for a long time because of the good leaf blower take apparently that is not a basis for that

Flu needlessly kills tens of thousands of USians every year and simple basic shit like ventilation and masking would slam that down to damned near *ZERO*

Elana Levin @levin.bsky.social • 4h Respect Alice Wong's call here: "When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don't care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving."

you don’t get to indulge in whataboutism as an excuse to not do anything.

stop insisting COVID-aware folk want you to shut down the world. we’re asking you to open it up—for everyone.

so be a big boy/girl: wear a mask, and it you want to help disabled people, take a cue from the late alice wong:

Good health to your cat!

Monica Lewinski went through Hell because of Bill Clinton and she was 21 when she started working for him.

Please leave that poor woman be in all the funning. She was destroyed by the public and he kept on keeping on as the president.

Gotta be honest I think that baby’s a little young to explain massive fraud to.

Church members flee as federal agents arrive at east Charlotte place of worship Nick Sullivan 42 mins ago Congregants of an east Charlotte church scattered into the woods Saturday when masked federal agents arrived and detained one of their members, according to witnesses.

imagine being hit on by gross old Larry Summers when you just wanted professional advice and then finding out he was getting advice on how to hit on you from Jeffrey fucking Epstein

one of the grossest things I’ve ever read

He's the sports jersey pope now. 1000 years from now historians will be going through the Vatican archives trying to figure out who the Charlotte Hornets were.
