You know what, I will vote to support resupplying our weapon stash after all the public health jobs lost since 2008 are refilled and increased by 20%, medicare for all passes, and all USAID is restored plus 20%.

I dare this Kavish dude to go ask one electrician this question.
I have one answer.
"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."
The govt has fired *all* the immigration attorneys representing detained children and given a $150 million contract to a 26-employee law firm in Texas with ONE immigration attorney. @theyoungcenter.bsky.social's Child Advocates are now the last line of defense for kids in deportation hearings.
Wanna help? Become a Waymaker! We're running, walking, cycling 20,000 miles in September to raise money to get immigrant kids out of detention and back with family. Someone who kayaks to work is dedicating his miles to Waymakers! A salsa dance class is counting steps! It all counts! #BeAWaymaker
RaeRae is my husband. They're nonbinary trans, and need top surgery for both gender affirming care as well as to relieve back and shoulder pain. Please give to their GoFundMe so we can get them the care they need! #trans #mutualaid gofund.me/01be1dff3
Y'all. So much of graphic design is just: "Is this readable?" If the text is an appropriate size, with adequate space, margins and contrast from the background, you're halfway there. After that, just please stop jamming so much stuff on one page. Let me breathe.
It's the Elora-versary! You can make her all blonde, you can make her fully redheaded, or you can do just the streak. She also comes with the hooded scarf we all love #Crochet 🧶

This poster rules. This caught my eye today more than anything else it was next to.
The big change here that I think puts a stake in the heart of the Sentiment The AIDS Memorial Quilt was in 1985, with over 100k names on it. In 2026 we're moving towards a once weekly pill that is almost totally effective at suppressing the virus.
Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

In the tropics & subtropics, drought-deciduous flowering trees are especially showy because they flower before the leaves emerge, i.e., they are protoanthous. Here’s Jacaranda mimosifolia. 📷: John CCBYSA2 #protoanthy #Bignoniaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

I liked One Night Only better when it was called Trick and featured two characters who faced actual legal repercussions for having sex (in certain states). #filmsky 📽
'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)

Somebody crocheted Blucifer! Two different forms! And lived! She submitted them to the CO state fair! I am way too excited about this. 🧶

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this
you know mohamed's faith in God is undying, but without the ability to materially support his family; as occupation forces having isolated mawasi; as the threat of a concentration camp and forced transport—read: ethnic cleansing—grows closer; he's powerless. before it's too late bit.ly/help-mohamed

Happy "Opportunity to primary Gluesenkamp Perez day" to all who celebrate it. Don't know if it will happen for real, but a lady can hope.
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez quit Bluesky nearly 2 months ago, preferring to hang with the fascists on X/Twitter. She doesn't want to be a Democrat. She wants to be an "independent voice", so let her go scream in the woods. Vote for Brent Hennrich tomorrow, a progressive, and a true Democrat.

If you want to know what it’s like to work at a public library, imagine working at a community center/video store but everyone who comes in has fallen through a time rip. They don’t know how a printer works, but they need to fax these important documents five minutes before we close… 1/
"The Boss Needs You..." prints are restocked in all sizes! I have t-shirts, tank tops, and stickers too. willburrows.art/shop Also - I have an 18"x24" copy with a 1/4" tear at the top edge that I'll sell for 25% off. The tear would be completely concealed if you plan to frame it.
