Hanging onto every bit of good news

The river has come alive in the Klamath with wild Chinook salmon. The wider ecosystem is healing.

Jayce Talis and Viktor in a sparsely decorated room with an iron-framed bed. Jayce sits on the bed while Viktor sits on a pillow on the floor between Jayce's legs. Both are sparsely dressed - Jayce is nude, a blanket pooled in his lap. Viktor wears a simple dark robe, which hangs open. Jayce is brushing Viktor's hair from behind, while Viktor tilts his head up, eyes closed, with a satisfied smile. He is a kitty :)

"I would want my legacy to be: If it ain’t right, fucking fix it, whatever it takes. I’d want to be remembered for trying to do the right thing and care for all people."

A legend and an inspiration.

Right now, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Kristi Noem, and other officials are participating in a panel about "Antifa," threatening to "destroy the entire organization [sic] from top to bottom."

This is a good time to revisit our guide to preparing for repression:

I have a TRIFECTA day coming up (a Friday that is a payday, and right before a three-day weekend), and so of course I have ten thousand plans to Completely Improve My Life in 72 Hours, but mainly I will be satisfied if I can get some words down, and organize my kitchen a wee bit

I love love LOVE picking up a new craft as the winter gets colder/nights get longer, but as much as I would LOVE to take a whack at bobbin lace, maybe I should use up some of the cross stitch patterns I have already

‘I was up all night praying’: Dolly Parton’s sister asks fans to ‘pray with me’ Hours after the first post, Freida Parton clarified saying her sister has "been a little under the weather."

"Could you pray for my celebrity sister..."

Oh, um, sorry but no, that's not really something I'd--

"--Dolly Parton?"

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

83. I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif Enger: the blurb is rather misleading but the writing? GORGEOUS. I wish there had been clearer emotional stakes -- the narration is very distant, almost tranquil -- but it's still a lovely, wistful dystopian novel, with lots of meditation on grief and community

jkr openly condemning palestine so once again if it isnt clear all transmisogynistic politics claiming to "defend real females" is ideologically the same kind of reactionary nationalism, heterosexualism, and turning "weaklings into soldiers" that zionism, hindutva, etc are

When you realize how long it takes for a single tree to become fully mature and how many trees it takes to be productive... This is just one more method of *generational* violence.

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

82. The Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling: medieval cannibalistic sapphic horror!!! This was so much fun - gross and awful and obsessed with fealty and duty.

If Bluesky's admins are getting frustrated at being 'brigaded endlessly' and crying about it they should try putting themselves in the shoes of Palestinians trying to post for help here to keep their families alive through a genocide & being forced to make new accounts every day as mods delete them.

Republicans are shutting down the government because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis they created.

They’re holding the entire government hostage so they can raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throw millions off their health care.

NO.
