a beautiful gray-white-black pigeon with green irridescence and kind brown eyes stands in front of and beside a painted portrait of her standing on a branch with a green background.
here is herself, estelle violet rainfeathers, posing with her portrait by @maggietokudahall.bsky.social
notice how she turned on her irridescence to match the green in the painting.

Agreed. I think it's even worse: many politicians don't WANT people to do more than give money and vote. They don't want people calling them about issues, questioning their decisions. I strongly prefer politicians who come out of activism, actually care about things, and want to involve community.

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

Folks, if you enjoy a book or artwork or music *please* take a minute to tell the artist. It's hard enough to do *anything* during The Horrors but creating is extra hard. Your small note is HUGE in keeping people going.

"Return CBP to the border"
Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?
