Got to connect with my matriarchal direct lineage, at a proud moment that Vaginal Davis opened her first retrospective in the United States at MoMA PS1. Here adoringly with Vag and my dearest Kembra Phaler. We exuded joy in a long awaited togetherness
Remembering we reside in the Milky Way, we are home
Here they are! New micro sculptures to adorn your body and feed mine: lots more available 💖💖💖
Some wax models for micro sculpture jewelry: rings and pendants heading to the foundry tomorrow. Teeth pendant; tiny pinky pendant; quantum warp pendant. The nipple finger cuff will be a lot to take in.
News worth sharing: you probably know not to self deport but in case you have a friend on the fence, so to speak:
L.A. TACO@lataco.bsky.social · last yr.The new "self-deportation" campaign is attempting to replace long-standing, federally funded legal information programs that guided immigrants through the complexities of the legal system. Legal experts and immigrant rights advocates are warning against it. By Nik Venet lataco.com/warning-self...
This is my only internet nostalgia: about 10 years ago I listened to this about 200 times. Enjoy!!!
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · last yr.when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet
Solstice beauty from my garden that mostly planted itself this year. Medicinals edibles and of course, poisons. 🦎❤️🦋
St Paul, just hours after a political assassination
Indivisible Twin Cities@indivistwincities.bsky.social · last yr.The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible
You probably know that marines are trained as killing machines and not for civilian or community law enforcement. Posse comitatus act makes use of USMC to enforce civilian laws a crime which is punishable by 2 years in prison. 2 years seems cheap for an act of war on civilians
The situation in DTLA to which 700 Marines have been deployed is a couple dozen interfaith clergypersons leading a small crowd in prayer.
it's totally calm, here's the live feed...Cali is chill and they're not giving rTump his 'moment'. They're making him look like the idiot that we know he is, the people in LA are snapping photos of the NG like they're some weird exhibit www.youtube.com/live/MSigGtB...

How to stay chill. ❤️
Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social · last yr.This skateboarder kid represents true US resistance vs the Trump regime's fascist authoritarianism attacking US cities and communities nationwide. Dozens of regime ICE troops assaulted him and he still came out on top. #3E #StopICE (📹 @jeremotographs.bsky.social )
Yeah if LAPD is siding with protesters um. Speechless.
Plant Powered A-ron🌱🌎💙🌊@plantpowered1971.bsky.social · last yr.
Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.
MWhite@pjmatt.bsky.social · last yr.BREAKING: please, everyone, turn on local news. there is NOTHING going on in LA. Its over, the protest broke up hours ago. Local news helicopters are trolling for trouble and there's none. Just some LAPD/LASD road blocks. If they 'send the Guard' now, its just because they really really want to.
No more tumors in my hip also no more hip now bionic hip. First five days have been hell, wish I’d have been in the hospital. I am so grateful for my beautiful community pitching in to be here for me and keep me alive. Thank you, my gorgeous friends
How can republicans call themselves republican when they are literally monarchists and against the constitution of the actual republic?
Preparing my house and body for surgery on Monday: total hip replacement to hopefully permanently stave off a technically incurable bone tumor disease in my hip. The new ones are fancy and you can run with them. Can’t hardly wait. Hopeful pic of me by Sabina McGrew with my favorite trichocereus
Friday, May 2 at 1pm, I am doing a walkthrough for the final day of the exhibition “Love to Pain” at Pasadena City College, Boone Family Gallery

Tens of millions of Americans do not have passports and the working poor can’t afford to get one. The SAVE act looks a lot like a hefty poll tax, and voter suppression.
I want to hear more from Princeton and other universities that are not capitulating to federal threats and are defending academic freedoms. More press on resistance over collaborators
