Looking for something different? I wrapped these pendants at half the scale of my usual ones - that's 0.2mm wire over 0.4mm. Takes a lot more breaks than usual, but definitely worth it. oishiny.etsy.com

While this sounds extremely self-serving, I am going to honestly urge anyone who needs a hit of undiluted hope about the State of Things to follow @romancingthevote.bsky.social next week. There's a reason I'm doing this for the third time even though it basically eats a month of my life.

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

With alt-text because THIS IS LITERALLY EVERYONE’S EXPERIENCE & I FUCKING HATE IT. Being disabled is a godsdamn full time job battling different agencies all damn day. #NEISvoid

Thread! STAR is such an amazing program--it saves lives, helps people with their real needs, and costs so much less than the endless cycle of awful cops.

Here in Denver, you're now seeing STARs vans everywhere - "Support Team Assisted Response." It's a medic and a social worker, both trained in mental health and addiction support, showing up instead of police. They offer support to homeless folks, people in crisis, and folks in altered states.

For nearly two hours, Trump rambles, at one point describing covid as “Kung Flu." He spends 14 minutes explaining why he walked gingerly down a ramp at West Point. He says he told officials to "slow the testing down" to make it seem that cases were decreasing. The White House says he was joking.
