Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

COME UP AND SEE ME

brush and nib on arches hot press. a short kiss and a long embrace.

Is Bottoms a sort of lesbian Superbad??? (Realization made with awe and affection, and of course obviously it is its own thing and not the ‘lesbian’ anything, but still -)

😭 this is both beautiful and practical, what a lovely perspective

BREAKING: Tenants across Minneapolis and Saint Paul have just launched a Twin Cities tenant union, citing the fact that their cities are under siege, and saying they need to band together to protect one another.

My now retired therapist would be so proud of the way I handled this week lol this one’s for you, Kate

It's 2026, please stop following and reposting viral "resistance" accounts that do absolutely nothing and instead follow people who offer real, palpable steps on how to help your friends and neighbors.

Here's a good starter pack via @gregpak.net go.bsky.app/6DoVMhY

Alt National Park Service: There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there A-telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down

AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.

They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

Please donate, this is urgent and a simple way to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to supporting Black queer people. My dear friends need help so they can work their multiple jobs and visit hospitalized family without hemorrhaging money. Donate and share ❤️

I don’t mock anybody for looking after their health - you do what you have to do. But I don’t agree with the lectures to ‘be kind to yourself’ & ‘not watch the video.’ If possible you do need to see what the state does in your name, with your money, to people you know & who look like you.

Double Chin Week 2026, Sunday February 15th - Saturday, February 21st. 7 days of practice drawing people with double chins. An oft-neglected part of the fat body is the double chin—this drawing challenge aims to change that! Let’s practice drawing together. Guidelines: -the main subject of the drawing must be a character with a double chin. -drawings can be any level of finish, from sketches to complete illustrations. -can be anything from a portrait to a full figure, a study or a character design, fanart, etc. -feel free to get silly with it but keep things respectful—please no fatphobic jokes. -SFW and NSFW allowed, just be sure to properly label adult posts or include #nsfw. Feel free to participate on as few or as many days as you’d like. Post your art in the hashtag #DoubleChinWeek2026 for easy browsing.

Mark your calendars, I’m hosting an art event in February! #DoubleChinWeek2026 is an art challenge to practice drawing a part of the body that usually gets ignored. The guidelines are lax, so you can participate in whatever capacity works for you.

Let’s make some art together! 🤗

A Nazi (2026)

An image of a volleyball against a blue background. The text says: In my home state of Massachusetts, ICE is hunting a man who has an expired visa. They find the man’s car, but the driver is just the man’s son, a teen heading to volleyball practice. ICE arrests the teen.

A conversation between two people in speech bubbles: “Do you know why you’re under arrest?” “No.” “Because you’re illegal. You’re an immigrant.” “Ma’am, I was seven years old.” Then, text at the bottom says: The teen is put into a concrete cell with 35 men.

The community rallies behind him. There's an image of yard signs with the smiling face of the teen that say Free Marcelo. Some quotes from locals: “He’s one of our brothers. Without him, it just kind of feels like a dark, empty room.” -volleyball team captain. “This administration isn’t keeping us safe by putting 18-year-old honors students in prison.” -MA Rep. Moulton

In the cell, the teen helps translate for those who don’t speak English. Many are ill. After 6 days, he’s released. There's an image of a hand and arm, with a crinkly foil bracelet tied around the wrist. Wearing a bracelet that another detainee made him from one of the thin mylar blankets they were given, he says: “ I don’t want to cry. But I want to say...nobody should be in here.”

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about. #ICEoutcomics

I cannot emphasize enough this woman WAS IN THE FUCKING CAR AND SAW HER WIFE GET SHOT NEXT TO HER and the media has tried to write her out of the story

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Literally the first news outlet I've seen directly quoting her wife. Even the NPR piece on Renee Good that aired this morning made no mention of Becca Good whatsoever.

Poopin’ on the clock as god intended

I just think more women should be werewolves and also do werewolf carnage! Let her maul, your honour.

A screen shot of TrueRef Flow, a timed gesture practice tool. It features a woman standing straight, with one hand up in a mage like gesture.

A screenshot of TrueRef Pose, a free pose library. It features several images of an athletic woman poses in a variety of different ways.

I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io.

While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍

My hottest, burniest, most fiery lava take for the end of 2025 - forgive me and I accept my tomatoes - is that I found the story and messaging of KPop Demon Hunters to be so confused and unsuccessful that I feel like I watched a different movie from everyone else
