Currently very unhappy to be trying to help solve a murder.... Under the ocean....

The mermaids should be able to figure their own shit out! 🧛

Hot off the presses! If you need a bigger size to print your stickers let me know!

That asshole fired all the people who help kids with disabilities in education.

Fuck him. Fuck everyone who enabled him

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

#WeeknightWriters Q5:

Bastion is Belle's father in my Beauty and the Beast retelling.

He travels back in time to prevent the situation that landed Belle in the castle, while trying to figure out an alternative to breaking the curse.

#WeeknightWriters A4:

When they suddenly appear where they're not supposed to.

It's like my own personal jumpscare that I then have to redo the story outline around.🐇✍️

#WeeknightWriters A3:

Figuring out how my characters can fuck up the status quo of their worlds no matter how big or small that is.🐇✍️

#WeeknightWriters A2:

Figuring out their hobbies outside of their jobs or the story itself.

People can't work 100% of the time so what thing does your character enjoy when no one is watching? What's their guilty pleasure?

It helps flesh them out a little more in my head.🐇✍️

#WeeknightWriters Q1:

My stories usually start with a story idea and one or two vague characters and build the characters and the world as I write.

More of a hybrid model than one or the other.🐇✍️

Hello #WeeknightWriters!

I'm Clades (she/her). My #FirstDraftFall had turned into #Q4Cleanup where I try to finish the projects from last year and the year before.
So far, I've pulled up the projects and managed to organize, and get some writing on each of the three projects. ✍️🐇

That sounds fun! Good luck 🍀

I'm going to buy some banned books to put into my local little library.

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

UPDATE: I saw it happen! At the Birds Canada research station at the tip of Long Point I watched an expert ever-so-gently and carefully put one of these tiny tags on a monarch. Let me walk you through the steps (1/4)

hi, cis folks in california!

Witchy crows 🐦‍⬛

don’t think this vid can ever be topped

We've got to stop writing stories about defeating villains without also examining the systems that create them.

Villains aren't reacting to nothing, and they aren't upset at a world that works.

I'm looking at you:
-Supetheroes
-Fantasy books
-SO much of the romantasy sphere
-dark academia
-ETC

if you needed another reason to stop using spotify:

I got the email notification about this from Spreadshirt last week and promptly deleted my account. If you have one, you should too.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Hey, @jay.bsky.team.

As a disabled person, it's disheartening to see one of the foundational pushers of alt text, a Black STEM voice, a queer advocate, and a huge voice for the disabled community gone over a poor taste joke.

Having Link here is good for so many people.

Please reconsider?

people who built bsky:
-trans women (bsky protects jesse singal)
-Black users (bsky allows rampant antiBlack racism)
-SWers (bsky to implement hostile age verification in UK)
-organizers and activists (bsky autodeletes anyone in gaza with a pulse)
-artists (bsky dev says AI has rights lmao)
