No executive order can truly erase LGBTQIA+ people. We’ve always been here. The sweeping executive orders are supposed to make us feel hopeless. I refuse to let them.

Here's a little digital art snake for a Chinese New Year post I made for uni

This is so breath taking and beautiful!

A hand holding a roughly 6” hoop with black fabric. A colourful jellyfish has been hand embroidered in blues, pinks and purples mainly.

Everyone over here is so kind! Thank you for your beautiful comments on my posts 💜 I hope you’re all looking after yourselves and each other right now.

This jellyfish embroidery doesn’t have a home yet. Maybe I’ll add it to another project sometime?

As a mixed-race person, let me just say that Elon Musk can fuck all the way off.

This will never not be funny.. 🤣🤣

elon’s *we have to maintain the purity of the national bloodline* stuff is literal nazism!

It is remarkable that for all the edgelord shit they still talk in these euphemisms. It’s so incredibly cowardly. Also Italy was famously unified in the 19th century after being conquered and reconquered, italian is the opposite of a timeless ethnic identity bsky.app/profile/thes...

Where reflection meets action: Honoured to host @ellenjones.bsky.social' Edinburgh launch of Outrage on Feb 4th: come, bring pals & allies!

'Outrage is a perfectly-timed reminder that queer people have so much more to fight for'- @eleanormedhurst.bsky.social

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

Two jellybean–shaped creatures, one blue, one pink, delve into the intricacies and duplicity behind one of the most insidious and pervasive issues of our time, and the first chapter of this middle-grade comic dives right in: “What Is Fake News?” Gravel does a fine job breaking down complex ideas, beginning with the definition of news (“information about important stuff that’s happening in the world right now”) and explaining that while disinformation is not new (“Hear ye, hear ye! An evil magician turned the king into a goat!”), the internet and other modern technologies have made it much easier to make lies look real and to intentionally spread them. The hows and whys are explored using specific, goofy fictional case studies; and people’s motives (e.g., “Reason 1: To make money…Reason 2: To make money and get famous,” etc.) are plainly laid out. Though the examples aren’t necessarily serious, the consequences are: “So far, I have given you a bunch of silly examples of fake news,” says the pink protagonist, “but fake news is not funny at all. It can actually be very dangerous.” The tone is non-blame-y of consumers (but not purveyors) of fake news, with acknowledgment of the ease of being duped (“Admit it—you’d be curious, too”) and useful advice about thinking critically, examining sources, etc. Well-delineated panel illustrations featuring blobby critters and pastel colors make these thorny concepts relatively easy to get and should leave many readers feeling empowered.

Misinformation article had me thinking every kid (and adult?) really needs to read @elisegravel.bsky.social's brilliant Killer Underwear Invasion...where oh where are we headed with media literacy?

Timely reminder to turn off AI content wherever you can!
