seventeen intricate altars made out of trash!

Now is a good time to read my @motherjones.com article on how attacks on Department of Education will disproportionately harm disabled kids www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

list of banned keywords

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Trump is considering executive action to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education

Wired is killing it. Also, the Musk goons being afraid of being identified says to me how tenuous all this shit is. If they have to face any actual resistance they can be defeated. They should have people yelling in their faces their names and addresses and that they're going to be arrested someday

…scream at the top of my lungs “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK”

do not get arrested just to "gum up the system" and create more paperwork for them. if the paperwork gets annoying, the arrests won't stop; the paperwork will.

Waiting on those checks and balances... Any time now...

Suburban neighborhood. Two people in inflatable dinosaur costumes are walking down the street. One is in a t-rex costume and the other in a triceratops costume.

This could be us but you keep mumbling about your dignity.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

Message to the whole #FBI workforce from Acting Director Brian Driscoll:

Welp. Turns out electing an unstable maniac is a bad idea after all.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

Update: Cancellation of Your Administrative Leave Status Under My Authority 1 message Thu, Jan 30, 2025 at 2:04 PM All: Attached, please find a memorandum documenting the cancellation of your administrative leave status under my authority. Before you get your hopes up, your systems accesses remain severed; you may receive another email within the day reinstating your leave status. However, that notice will not come from me. I have reviewed the materials that served as the purported basis for your placement in this status. Most of you had no role whatsoever in those materials. For the small number of you actually involved, the materials show no evidence that you engaged in misconduct. As a result, I no longer have authority to maintain you in this status. Someone else may claim to have that authority and I wish them the best in making a colorable argument to that end. I may not maintain my own accesses for much longer, so if you would like to stay in touch, I can be reached at I wish you all the best - you do not deserve this. Sincerely,

Background: 60 USAID employees had been placed on leave for “undermining” Trump’s executive orders. Nick Gottlieb was told by DOGE to then fire them. Instead he emailed all of them earlier saying he found no evidence of misconduct and used his power to take them off leave. Then he was put on leave.

Well. I did it. I submitted my book on the history of how the US government has removed Indigenous children from their families. From colonization to removal to boarding schools to today. For middle schoolers.

I think it's the first book of its kind. I can't believe I got to do it.

I feel like an elephant is standing on my chest

Turns out Astrid didn’t have good table manners all this time, she was just largely uninterested in people food.

That has changed.

Gritty save us, save us gritty

From No$hu @Noshu4me The problem with saying “violence isn’t the answer” is that highly organized violence already exists and is being perpetrated against all of us to varying degrees every day. All you’re doing is accepting that violas a part of life and demonizing any self-defense against it

Daphne says “Gosh darn-it, this one isn’t a ghost either” Four slumped bodies wearing pointed white sheets are on the ground. Daphne is holding a smoking revolver, a known obvious ghost hunting method. Obviously.

Cupid looks rad as hell riding a skateboard. The all-caps text reads “CUPID STUNT”

An open matchbox is flanked by purple flowers and bears an image of a grey bunny rabbit inside a flaming heart. Artistic tattoo-style text on the box reads “Try not to burn yourself out”

Large round cat wearing a grey sweater is in a cozy simplified living room. There is a good fire going in a fireplace, some candles and a houseplant on the mantle. Text reads “‘Perhaps I have had enough of this shit’ said the cat”

Have four images of varying cheekiness

Not much (none, to be accurate) work on the board this morning.

Conditions favorable for shitposting.

Would love to understand why every Democrat is not out there every second of the day explaining in plain English that Donald Trump has declared war on cancer patients.
