'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Last day to comment on this and make your voice heard, please defend Chaco canyon which is sacred to Pueblo, Navajo, and Hopi peoples and stands at risk of over 300,000 acres losing protections so it can be pillaged for gas and oil.

BLM is revoking protections on Chaco Canyon. If you don't like national parks giving sacred lands to oil+gas companies, you have until July 29th to submit public comments. act.foodandwaterwatch.org/page/96315/a...

Are we comfortably numb with police violence? The brutal cop killing of Corey Ruiz in Madison, Wisc. sparked local protest but only muted outrage on the national level. Despite falling crime, cops gun down more Americans than ever Where's the outrage? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/core...

Corey Ruiz police killing reveals an America numb to violence | Will Bunch

Police killings like the death of Madison’s Corey Ruiz, caught on gruesome video, are rising, but public outrage is not.

many who talk abt the woes of “community” don’t want community. they don’t want to be challenged, inconvenienced, check others or be checked. they want unmitigated access to others without “doing the work”. it unsettles me how queer folks use “community” the way the homes we fled from use “family”

I’ve seen an uptick of posts regarding how the furry community has a racism issue but not offering any solutions. If I may offer a suggestion, how about starting with acknowledging how BIPOC individuals who have made mistakes are treated in comparison to our white counterparts?

If this thread has been useful, here is somewhere to put that into action. @anishinabeknation.bsky.social is accepting donations on behalf of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation, whose entire community has been displaced by wildfire. Donations can be made at an7gc.ca/donate.

DONATE - Anishinabek Nation 7th Generation Charity

Individuals who support the goals and vision of AN7GC can make a donation. The ways to donate: call us, mail your donation, use Paypal or CanadaHelps.

Over 800 wildfires are burning across Canada right now. Canada also holds more than a quarter of the world's boreal forest and is warming at twice the global average rate. The smoke is the part getting attention. Here is everything else. 🧵

For 50+ years, "harm" under the Endangered Species Act meant two things: killing an animal, or destroying the place it lives. The bald eagle, the California condor, the American alligator - all recovered because both counted. As of last Friday, only one still does.

Set against a purplish background covered in miscellaneous paper scraps, a crouching red coyote lifts a spray can above their head. The blue paint wiggles and twists across the wall, the air, the surroundings, casting light upon the figure.

When you know how much destruction and death it has brought; when you see the destruction and death it has brought to your family as an Indigenous person, you wonder what there even is for others to be celebrating.

But it being only 250 rly does put into perspective just how much of America’s history was legal slavery. Like goddamn. 250 is not that long in the grand scheme of history but it did so much damage

this isn't tin foil hat, this is what us BIPOC and especially queer BIPOC have been saying the whole time. i'm always stressing that everyone needs to actively be decolonizing their selves.
