Portland antifa frog

The Antiphibian of Portland is gearing up to be an iconic symbol of resistance

Yankees lose AND Phillies beat the Dodgers, what an excellent night of baseball 🥰 I'm glad I caught it!

Made it easier to share with credit

Dodgers fans leaving the game while there are still innings and outs left is giving me energy.

Let's go Phillies!!

quoting someone to complain about their replies being restricted isn't making a good case for opening replies, it's making a case for restricting quotes

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

As you fight ICE in your neighborhoods, always look for potentially positive outcomes to counterbalance your anger and despair. For me this continues to be meeting more neighbors, talking to more neighbors, and finding that others close by have also been fighting in ways I was unaware of.

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

close up art of red werewolf feet with blue lines and a yellow lightning bolt crossing through it. the text on the image says "I WILL NEVER BE YOUR RESPECTABLE FAGGOT" on it

It's been engraved into my flesh and I am not ashamed.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

A possum and a raccoon touching noses in an aesthetically pleasing and cute way. Underneath the picture is the caption, "Two households both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene..."

Ah. Well, that will fuck the ENTIRE network of flights. Not just in the US either.

Hey! Yes, you! Got a laundry pile waiting to be laundered? Go check and make sure you didn't leave anything in the pockets.

I mean, ok, I am glad that no actual opossums were traumatized

Tenant power is vital to community defense.

I can't recommend highly enough that you get connected to your local tenant union (or ATUN if your area doesn't have one yet), talk to your neighbors and buildingmates, get to know one another.

I've done this to this crowd with great effects. If you get into a camera shot wearing something obscene it ruins some turd's chance at lying through their teeth on the six o'clock news

Very interesting.

Since this Samuel no longer has any Bluesky team references and has changed his handle to end w/ ".fm"

Also no longer a verified account.

Two ballpoint sketches of Virginia opossums: one flopped over asleep, the other standing up out of a pumpkin. The pencil lines are all still there because I don't have an eraser nearby.

Breaking in the new sketchbook :3 am hopeful to have this decently full by the time the furries come back to Philly next year so I can go to the sketchbook swap!

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros
