This embroidered art was made by my friend Jacqui Shine and gifted to me as a going away gift when I left Chicago.

Since it's Ida's bday today & I love her, a little story about collective action. A few years ago (2018), I learned about a longstanding effort to complete a monument to honor Ida B Wells. For over a decade, her great-grandchildren & others had been trying to raise needed funds.

This should terrify people in terms of what it means not only for teachers and librarians, but for parents. Once exposure to queer content gets classified as child abuse, that will be the excuse they use to remove kids from queer homes, or even just homes that teach acceptance.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

has a reporter ever asked him about this to his face? Why aren’t they doing it every day, given how much of his whole deal is freaking people out about crime?

Just a reminder: Trump inherited the lowest homicide rate of any president in 50 years. He was the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher homicide rate than when he entered. And the rate has dropped every year since he left. www.foxnews.com/video/635815...

If you want access to free books, please get a library card. In the US, the more people there are with library cards, the more funding libraries have access to. Libraries provide more than books. They are a community resource. As an author and reader, I support libraries! #books #libraries

If you truly believe the Oppression Olympics (or whatever metaphor you choose to use) is a thing….I don’t know what I can say to you. Except you’re either self-defeating, or you’re actively working against liberation. If you don’t understand that liberation is for all of us…

J.D. Vance is a cunt. And his book is excruciatingly awful. Just a stunted mind all around.

The name for a consistent and well-integrated mistake is “style”

It’s early, so here’s a trade secret: “Getting better” at art isn’t about not making mistakes, it’s about learning to incorporate them into your final art so they don't look like mistakes.

She really said, “Retire, bitch.” (The “bitch” isn’t stated but is strongly implied.”

A senior House Democrat says efforts to replace Biden at the top of the ticket have stopped because, “We've all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency."

Trump rally shooting upends congressional Democrats' crisis over Biden's candidacywww.axios.com Rep. Dean Phillips said it would be "unpatriotic and unprincipled" to focus on anything besides the shooting.

Fear really is the mind killer, ya’ll.

I have survived too many actual horrors to give up now. I feel the despair like anyone else but fuck going quietly. I’m going to grow old, I’m going to experience joy.

Some people are marks and you don't have to be one. Rightwingers DO NOT believe that violence is not warranted. They believe that only they should be able to wield it.

When in doubt, refer to the @onthemedia.bsky.social Breaking News Consumer's Handbook:

First and foremost, everyone needs to hold onto the fact that it is WAY too early to know what actually happened here. That being said, buckle the fuck in, because the finding out, discourse about, & fallout from it going to be a fucking MESS. "Trump Rushed Off Stage… After What Sounded Like Shots"

Live Election Updates: Trump Rushed Off Stage at Rally After What Sounded Like Shotswww.nytimes.com The former president was escorted into his motorcade at his rally in Butler, Pa., a rural town about an hour north of Pittsburgh.
