A young man in the Germantown neighborhood was shot in the face this morning and died. His body was left out in the street for HOURS, apparently because the morgue was full. How much more must our city endure until Mayor Parker finally does right by the striking workers? 6abc.com/amp/post/ret...

Fascists can write “we’re going to give 700 quadrillion dollars to the Gestapo to build a new concentration camp in every city” on paper and there’s little we can do to stop that.

The infrastructure that makes it actually real passes by and through us.

That, we can and will stop.

A decorative Halloween skeleton sits outside the Thomas F. Donatucci, Sr. library, where it holds a sign reading “waiting for my contract still…”. Another sign says kids need to learn to spell and makes a joking reference to an incident where Philly Mayor Cherelle Parker led an Eagles chant and misspelled Eagles. Philadelphia city workers are on strike, leading to the closure of some libraries and other city services.

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps

Background is a brick wall with gradient colors of neon purple to dark purple and black with hints of red throughout. Layered in front of the brick are flames in vibrant orange and neon pink hues. In the center is a large triple Venn diagram. The border of the venn diagram is dark gray, the background of the venn diagram is shades of yellow, orange, bright pink, and white. The text in the venn diagram is black and white. The three large bubbles read: "Mutual aid," "harm reduction," and "abolition." The overlapping shared bubble text between read: "masking," "care webs,"" is "raising hell." In the center bubble of the triple venn diagram says, "We keep us safer."

The beginnings of a fabric tote bag on a black table. The fabric is leopard print. The body is finished, while the handles are still inside out. There is a hand for scale.

I started hand sewing a tiny tote for the young human. The fabric was found in the free bin at our local thrift store. Perfect size for holding the odd sticks and rocks found on walks.

President’s Day asks us to venerate leaders of a nation built on genocide, slavery, and imperialism—a country that has consistently been one of the most violent and destructive forces on the planet.

Black tern gsd locked up outside the public library. There is a mural on the wall, and the book return drop box is on the left.

The young human requested “no kid seat”. We’re trialing it with a ride to our neighborhood library, and then to grab some groceries . #terngsd

Yep. And more often than not it’s a minority community that gets destroyed by eminent domain. My city’s china town got chopped in half in the 70s due to them building an expressway.

These bike Friday cargo slings have served us well, but I’m excited to put them into storage. We stopped by our LBS today and picked up a storm box. Can’t wait to get it set up! #terngsd #cargobike

A Valentine's Day card reading "Say it with barricades"

Love is a quality of attention, a sensitivity to the world and everything that is possible in it.

When we fight on the basis of what we love, rather than in service of ideology or cowardice, we open ourselves to serve as a channel through which everything beautiful in the world can defend itself.

I’ve seen many 3D printed bike accessories online. Might be worth looking to see if this exists out there, or maybe someone has the CAD files for download.

You can get a kobo with overdrive built in. It allows you to put in your library card info to gain access to the e books.

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights.

they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

Everyone say happy 12th birthday to Pono. The chihuahua that will make you change your mind about chihuahuas. Perfect angel 🖤

(4/4) TLDR: capitalism is a death cult and children are some of the greatest teachers.

(3/4) And those needs don’t change as we age! Capitalism expects you to sacrifice everything that makes you human in exchange for the perceived value of your labor.

(2/4) Eating & toileting on demand. Co-regulation. Rest. Learning through play. Collaborative decision making. Autonomy. Interdependence. And the messiness & imperfection of it all.

(1/4) As my kid is deep in their 3rd year of life, I find myself constantly reflecting on how a child’s biological needs along with their developmental interests really make it glaringly clear how unnatural capitalism is.

Oh, to be a cat sleeping in a sunbeam.

An unofficial one! I made a basic triangle scarf previously, and after researching how to make the icord edge, I decided to wing it. I wanted a little challenge since I’m new & it’s been rewarding!
