"I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being, neither white, black, brown nor red. When you are dealing with humanity as one family, there's no question of integration or intermarriage. It's just one human being marrying another human being, or one human being living around and with another human being." - Malcolm X

A flapjack octopus (Opisthoteuthis sp.) sitting on the seabed. It is adorable, small and squishy, like a mango ice cream scoop with itty bitty "ears" which are its fins. It is twisting two of its arms together.

A flapjack octopus (Opisthoteuthis californiana) sitting on the sea floor. It has adopted the "flapjack" pose that flapjack octopuses are known for. It has squished itself as flat as possible with its fins tucked down in adorable heap of octopus. It has a honey colour.

2/ It’s not just the volume that’s ridiculous—it’s the messaging.

Here are some of the tactics I’ve seen over the years:

- Shaming
- Claiming “our records” show I’m voting for Trump
- Disguising emails to look like Google Scholar alerts
- *Coughing* at me in the subject line (???)

1/ A thread on the madness of Dem fundraising and why it needs to change 🧵

📈 Look at this chart of political fundraising emails I received in 2024:
- 3,212 fundraising emails in total.
- 48 in a single day!

Badgering your supporters is disrespectful, annoying, and, frankly, counterproductive.

A fennec fox mascot with a pacifier, carrying a blue puffer fish like a handbag, stands among a crowd.

Jakie (a fennec fox) is a mascot for the Kadoma Film Commission. The inside of his ears are blue and white, like clouds floating in the sky, and he has a video play button on his forehead. He weighs the same as 60 ferrets and carries around a puffer fish named Zubora-chan.

No, they don’t. Many die in power after murdering and oppressing millions without consequence. They are then replaced by offspring and lackeys who do the same. To depose — or even withstand — a tyrant takes great resilience, and to act as if the fall is inevitable is an insult to those who suffer.

Absolutely. It’s what threatens them all from Iran to Saudi Arabia to Israel. They cannot exist in the same way if the region was free from tyrants.

Reminder: NEVER share ANYTHING you’re not certain feds and cops already know. Not even your name, mood, or favorite color. ALL you EVER say are these 2 phrases:

If not being arrested or if unsure:
“I don’t have any information about that. Am I free to go?”

If arrested:
“LAWYER. NOW.”

It’s an indictment of our failures as a society that Baldwin and King’s commentaries on the brokenness of the US in the 1960s are as incisive and meaningful now as they were then. Sixty years and we haven’t fixed what’s wrong.

🚨Please don’t scroll past this. I lost my main support recently, and everything has fallen apart. I’m struggling a lot, and asking for help is not easy. No one around me sees or understands how deeply I’m hurting or what I’m going through. I feel invisible, Please don’t overlook me‼️ #mutualaid

one of my favs:

“When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.”

While Trump is using loyalty tests for jobs in his administration, he appears to be making an exception for billionaires.

“Israel killed more than 200 Palestinians in Gaza on Saturday, including 40 members of a single family. The official death toll in Gaza is now over 44,000, although experts believe that is a vast undercount of the true figure.”
