They won’t stop with this shit unless we stand up and refuse to accept it as normal. This. Is. Not. Normal. This is fascism in plain sight.

Fighting crime with a spork of truth and spatula of justice 1997-2001. May he rest in peace 🐓

Two stylish women sit in a retro diner booth, laughing and eating burgers. One wears a white top with round glasses and bright red lipstick; the other rocks a striped shirt, red bandana, and cat-eye sunglasses. The vibe is bold, rebellious, and joyful — perfect for the “Fashion Rebel Nation: After Hours Party” graphic text in front.

I just launched a Facebook group for fashion rebels, glitter weirdos, and loud hearts.
We’re starting from zero and aiming for 100 by July 1.
If we hit it, there’s a surprise in it for y’all 👀

I feel like I need one of those red buttons that I can press and it just says “What the actual fuck?” because I’m getting really tired of having to repeat myself all the time.

Image of Color Street’s “Heart of Pride” nail strip set featuring vibrant rainbow gradients and rainbow heart accents. A hand is shown wearing the strips with rainbow French tips and a heart on the ring finger. Text reads: “$2,000 donation to a leading suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ+ & young individuals.” The background is a glittery rainbow gradient. The design supports The Trevor Project.

This isn’t just nail art—it’s protest in polish.💅 The Color Street Foundation is donating $2K to The Trevor Project for LGBTQ+ youth. Wear “Heart of Pride” & raise hell in rainbow. Joy is resistance. 🌈

Can anyone recommend some good accounts to follow for dopamine fashion, handmade jewelry, upcycling etc? A lot of the creators I follow on other platforms aren’t on BlueSky and it’s a damn shame.

I have discovered StoryGraph, so now every time someone shares a novel that sounds awesome, I just add it to my list and I never have to worry about forgetting the title! Definitely added this one on cover art alone 😊

A woman with pale skin and dark hair looks upward with a distressed expression. Her mouth is covered by a thick red cloth, symbolizing being silenced. On the left side of the image, white text reads: “When the government steps in to protect religious groups from having to comply with general civil rights laws, it turns religion into a legal weapon against marginalized groups.” The background is solid black, creating a stark and dramatic contrast.

The “Religious Liberty Commission” isn’t protecting freedom — it’s weaponizing faith to bulldoze civil rights. This is a direct attack on church/state separation. Contact your reps: demand they dismantle it. Freedom belongs to everyone, not just the bullies.

Jesus rose from the grave, not to bless the billionaires, but to remind us to tear down injustice, lift up the broken, and love radically. Easter isn’t for empire—it’s for liberation.

Pigeons can actually recognize themselves in mirrors with extensive training — something very few animals can do. Somewhere out there is a pigeon questioning its entire existence.

Graphic with a split background: left side light gray with subtle diamond pattern, right side white with light diagonal lines. At top left, a black and white halftone image of lips next to bold text that says “RISE & RESIST.” The main text reads: “Feeling helpless? Pick 1 cause today (abortion access, voting rights, trans youth) and donate $5, sign a petition, or repost resources. Every small ripple matters.” At the bottom on a pink strip, white text says “the future is up to us” with three right-facing arrow icons. Illustration of three people walking is partially visible above the pink strip. Instagram handle @deedreconkey appears in the bottom right corner.

Happy birthday! Glad it was awesome. Also, love your necklace 😊

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope it’s fantastic 🥳

With everything going on in the world, I always come back and check your page when you don’t show up in my feed for a while. I hope you are staying safe and holding onto your sparkle during dark times. The world needs more people like you.

They said a woman’s body couldn’t handle the English Channel. Gertrude Ederle said hold my goggles and swam it faster than any man ever had. In 1926. While half the world clutched their pearls. Be loud. Be strong. Be the reason they choke on their doubt.

A MORAL CRISIS

“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.

If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”

Take 3 minutes. This is important.

A person dressed in a whimsical unicorn-themed outfit poses happily indoors. They are wearing a bright pink shirt with a unicorn graphic, a fluffy tutu made of blue, purple, and pink tulle, black leggings, and shiny hot pink boots. A unicorn headband with ears and a horn sits on their head, and they have a joyful, playful expression. The background features a stone wall with framed wildlife art, including a buffalo painting and an owl taxidermy display.

Throwing it back to my 36th birthday party because this outfit makes my little #fashionrebel heart happy. You do you, and if anyone says, you can’t wear that - grab a fist full of emergency pocket glitter, launch it into the air with flourish and say, “Bitch please, I’m a walking art exhibit.”

A note taped to an abstract background. The note reads “Affirmation: Bitches be trippin’ cause I’m the high priestess of ‘I said what I said’ and boundary enforcement.”

It’s #affirmation time. Take a deep breath and belt it with your whole chest my little chaos gremlins:

A pink background with an off white note that says, “If you wouldn’t say it to your bet friend, your dog, or you favorite bartender - don’t say it to yourself. You’re not a dumpster fire. You’re a spicy jalapeño margarita in a world full of lukewarm tap water. Hydrate, moisturize, and act like the hot mess with standards that you are.

Bite sized #selfcare tip with love and a sprinkle of feral spice ❤️

Fight on… a poem about hope.

A proverbial fist full of glitter,
a willfully defiant heart -
I breathe life into the silences,
stoke tiny embers in the dark.

I appreciate you so much. Thank you for all your hard work to keep us informed.
