Kamal is trying to get his family back to the North so they can all be together but his sister cannot walk

My family wants to come home tomorrow. My sister's leg was seriously injured in August, so they cannot walk back. A kind soul offered to match up to $500 in donations for transport. Can you help me take advantage of his offer?

Today I have cooked a LOT of veggies. (And made approximately 1 gallon of vegan pilaf). Gonna do the mashed potatoes in about half an hour.

Maaaaay need to pick up more mushrooms.

Savoury bread pudding (veggie filling of-which got done today) + squash puff + roasting a turkey to happen tomorrow.

"Just as Terry Pratchett forever changed my perspective on the word 'witches' and what it does and means in genre, Zig Zag Claybourne keeps illuminating and refining it."

Loving this love from the amazing @csecooney.bsky.social! Mother Khumalo & Granny Weatherwax trading notes would have been epic!

Shane just wants to go home. Stranded in L.A., he must somehow make it back to Georgia. As he hitchhikes his way across America, he encounters transphobia, crooked cops, swindlers, kindly folks, drugs, tragedy, and a high speed chase.

Only 99 cents!

IF YOU CARE PLEASE SHARE.

Gaza today is emerging from a war that has exhausted it with no jobs, no homes, and no sources of livelihood. We have lost almost everything, and prices have risen to unprecedented levels.

At such a time, please do not leave us alone to face the cold and hunger.

Today is National Coming Out Day!

It's also Freedom to Read Day, aka the last day of Banned Books Week.

This feels right — because the main reason they try to ban books is to keep people from dreaming they could ever come out.

I am someone with blue hair and a rose ring. This is empowering on a daily basis.

It is the power to reject societal expectations of what "pretty femininity" looks like; it is power to sit in my own Self without catering to the male gaze.

As a fashion historian, I will die on this hill: the point of having blue hair and nose rings (or spiky nails or stripper heels or tattoos or an all-black wardrobe) is not to look pretty or cool. It's to look (and feel) powerful--something many young American women crave right now. And it's working.

I should also say that Persona is the first novel I've read since maybe Nevada that made me go, "I didn't know how much I (we) needed this."

Mark Carney sold himself as a pro-sovereignty, transformational leader, but he has acted like a defender of a status quo based on confined dependence on a Trumpist United States.
In any case, that’s not what Canadians voted for. But I’m not sure that Carney cares about that small point.
