This New Yorker piece is the most hopeful I've felt about the world in a long time.

I had no idea solar was booming like this. And if you live in the same world as me, dominated by oil & gas guys maintaining that solar and wind are inefficient gimmicks, you might not've known some of this either.

Solidarity with LA. Solidarity with Chicago. Philadelphia. New York. Solidarity with every single protestor standing up, putting their bodies on the line to protect our people and our freedoms.

Not everyone can put themselves in harms way & so it's up to us to help how we can.

Find a way to help.

hey here's something I would love us all to do like RIGHT NOW: find out if your local library is doing any kind of pride programming or display, and if they are, email them to say thank you and why it matters to you. whether or not you're queer. especially if you're in an area where it's fraught

I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it:

This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

Everyone should note Unbound is now Boundless and you should never buy anything from them

his husband says nothing about a "disagreement." and if his husband's account is accurate, it absolutely was not that. it was a targeted hate crime after years of bigoted harassment. that's not "a disagreement between neighbors" anymore than stalking is "a disagreement between acquaintances"

Repping SUNFLOWERS by @keezyyoung.bsky.social!

SUNFLOWERS stands on its own merit as a comic but it’s also a great resource for people with bipolar disorder - both as an affirmation & as something you can share with people in your lives to help increase their understanding of your experience

The average price of a first-run movie ticket in the US right now is $16.08. If the minimum wage had kept pace with inflation, 40 minutes of labor would buy you a movie ticket. Better than how things are now: $7.25/hour means 2+ hours of labor gets you a movie ticket

The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

was just telling my brother and his girlfriend how bad it feels to see something cool online and immediately be like nah. that's not real. something that cool must be AI. and then to find out it is real and like god that hurts so much. you took away that moment of wonder from me. you STOLE it

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

She Was Denied an Abortion After Roe Fell. This Is a Year in Her Family’s Life. Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.

8/ “The Year After a Denied Abortion" also documented the unraveling of a Tennessee family after a denied abortion for a life-threatening pregnancy.

This photo essay helped audiences see, feel and understand how decisions made by those in power impact families.

An infographic with text and sketched diagrams titled "Worldbuilding with top surgery scars." Written by 6480 @6480.bsky.social "share + use for inspiration" Starts with a drawing of a trans guy with scars pointing diagonally upwards to his collarbones. Text: "This is Jirawat. He comes from a culture entirely separate from our modern one, with its own tradition of medicine. Medical practice in his culture focusese on promoting the natural flow of life energy through the body and towards the head. Beacuse of this, surgical scars like his are preferentially designed to point towards the head, to not disrupt the flow of energy. If needed, a design like this can be adapted for someone with a larger chest just by adding an additional cut or extending the scar further under the arm." (Diagram of same scars with additional cut.) Two sketches of centuries-old mastectomy scars. "Mastectomies have been performed for breast cancer for hundreds of years, often leaving scars like these ones (left). Over time, surgical practices were refined to create a more pleasing end result, and mastectomies for transmasculine people became more well known. While the current typical "top surgery" scar is designed to accentuate the curve of the pecs, this is by no means the only option. Thinking about the design of your character's scars can help you better understand both them and the culture they come from—or make their design truly unique! Depending on the surgical technology available, options like nipple grafts may not be reliable or even come to mind. Is transmasc surgery well known in your world, or does your character have to go to a surgeon who's only treated patients with breast cancer? Surgeries have to be designed and tested—is your character the test case, or an average patient?" There are many sketches of unusual chest scar designs, including vertical scars, spirals, autopsy-scar inspired designs, multi-pronged scars, and one that looks like a bad injury.

Modern top surgery is generally designed to fit the shape of the pecs. But is this the only option?

I made this graphic, "Worldbuilding With Top Surgery Scars", to imagine what transmasculine surgery could look like in a world apart from ours.

I care so much about this bc it hurts my heart to think that little boys are being brought up to be toxic hateful men. that shit is so corrosive. it's a tragedy to see it even when it's ME they're harming. it doesn't have to be like this. I care bc I love dudes and they deserve /so much better/

I made a silent puppet film about Godzilla vs. Paul Bunyan.

For anyone aware of the tragedy at Vancouver Lapu Lapu festival, here's a thread of GoFundMe's available to help support the many victims. (copy pasted from my friend 'J' in the Vancouver Filipino community)

I recently found myself on a small new Discord server that has rapidly filled up with teenagers and they are absolutely STARVED for anything that sounds remotely like "good job" or "I'm proud of you"

listen, I am frustrated with discourse that paints autism as universally just "generally functional people who like trains". there IS more to it than that. is my uncle happy as is? would he better off without this HUGE disability? it's not my place to say, but yeah, it bugs me that others dismiss it

saddened and frustrated by how many autistic people are responding to my posts about me uncle Greg with "autistic people contribute" or "autistic people are valuable to society." what about the ones who don't, man. what if they don't really offer much to anybody else. what if they just Are

i love how every online figure drawing generator has like 50% random people and then the other 50% is just this one guy who i guess was just REALLY into it. thanks guy. you're a real one

PASTRY HOUSE HIPPO‼️‼️‼️

god there was an old forum somewhere that chronicled this guy’s journey from barely being able to draw a proper cylinder to straight up professional work over the course of 8 years or something. it fucking ruled, i’ll see if i can find it later

I've said this before: I understand it can feel overwhelming to be an activist but one of the absolute easiest ways to do it is to stop giving money to a person who has made it their loud and public mission to erase a group of people just trying to live their lives

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

Just went down the rabbit hole of “mama bear legal forms” which are advertised ostensibly as a “way to help your adult child in a crisis” but appear to be more like a way to trick a child going off to college into giving up their right to medical, financial, legal and educational privacy.

People don't get that we've had nature and exercise and better diets for literally ALL OF HUMAN EXISTENCE. But we didn't get a life-changing treatment approved for a lot of cases of bipolar disorder until 1970. 1/2
