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

This whole ass meeting is about AI Anyway, if you're hiring, I have a resume

"If you can hear me, clap once" we are not children

Practicing emotional regulation by leaving the room every time someone says something dumb. This is the compromise for not leaving the building

I'm not saying the bleep bloops of Teams give me a trauma response but sometimes if I hear them in the wild my chest tightens and my skull feels like it's constricting

I'm gonna self-publish the book I'm currently working on but I do someday want to try to get something trad pubbed because 1. I would like to be paid for my labor and 2. I don't have rejection sensitivity and I might as well use that for something

Mistria's full 1.0 release arrives tomorrow, 8/5! @aidosaur.bsky.social & I have been working on it since 2019-- seven years!! -- as Senior Writer & Character/Concept Artist! I wrote thousands and thousands of lines of dialogue... I hope they make you laugh and feel things! See you in the Fields! 💖

That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

Film is a wonderful thing, but it is its own separate thing and not some ultimate form into which all other media wants to eventually be funneled. I dunno.

Just a little over two weeks!

Once again, I am asking you to pre-order POP! dropping in August! bookshop.org/p/books/pop-...

Me, who has 40+ terms muted: why is my timeline always so slow

I've been trying to be a better person but I'm realizing this is as far as I'm willing to go

Standplaats Kraków could really use some cash!@standplaatskrk.pl · last wk.

Anyway, I went to the Met today and felt a little bit underdressed, if you couldn't tell

Me, on ThreadUp: give me LINEN. give me NATURAL FIBERS. I need to not walk out the house feeling like I'm in jimjams and about to nap

Not only did I not like wearing the dress, I went home, changed clothes, and then took a 30 minute walk to offset how shitty I felt all day

2 hours later, I still don't like the dress ugh

I like structured A-line dresses, but it's too hot for the fabric I want (I have tried this, and alas I'm not as strong as I want to be) so I'm trying not to feel like I'm wearing pajamas while I'm in a flowy stretchy dress

Chose the last dress and am trying to be fine about it

I tried on several different dresses and none of them look right and now I don't even wanna go out anymore

It's been a long enough time that I think I can say I don't think I can play Veilguard again? Like not for a while. I enjoyed it enough, but I also was disappointed enough that I don't want it to be what I associate the franchise with most

GUILLOTINE is on sale for $1.99 across all e-book platforms! 🌹 This novella: * is short + sharp as a stab wound * is cathartic if you're mad at rich men always getting their way * includes a shark named Sally * appeals to those furious about the Epstein Files 🌹 Pls pick up a copy & spread the word!

not that I ever planned to do anything with the knights beyond sketchbook doodles, but in general telling a creator about your idea for their story or characters is the best way to make sure it will never happen lol (same goes for like Marvel or other public IP writers/characters too btw)

Kim Hu@kim-hu.com · last wk.

see, the thing is everything folks make up about these guys is stuff I won't/can't touch anymore for copyright reasons so in a way people spoiled it for themselves (not directed at you, just in general people tend to do that with creators and they never realize that's burned ground then) 😅

These "vast…fortresses…come under the rule of local zoning laws & water districts…that changes everything… the little people can say no…Our whole society today is filled w spectacles of total or near-total power [but here] the total power [hits] a road block…a counter-symbol that has immense power"
