Therese but with her natural hair colour

An artwork by Spindle of the character Therese, a trans elf woman with black hair (in this particular art, she usually has dyed cyan hair), holding it with both her hands, looking at the viewer/camera and smiling. She's wearing a yellow v-neck top with rolled up sleeves, brown belt with a gold accent, and black pants also with a golden accent

A chance encounter

illustration inspired by the Scandinavian fairytale, "Bride of the Lindworm". A prince in the form of a lindworm perches on a moss-covered rock and peers curiously at a shepherdess from across a dark pond. The woman reaches toward him. The scene is set in a dark forest.

Everyone meet Squishmallow. Squishmallow is a cutworm I found in my backyard. Cutworms are very damaging to gardens, so it was either keep or kill Squishmallow. I chose to keep Squishmallow & the next morning, Squishmallow had turned into a Chrysalis!

Many people in our communities have developed selective amnesia, intentionally failing to take notice of deadnames so they don't stick in our memory. I am one of those people.

Sick and tired of folks using "Highschool dropout" as an insult. Do better.

🍉Reborn Ruffian🌟 @reburnruffian12.bsky.social · 15h

If you're a USian who disparages school dropouts without acknowledging how our education system is actively hostile to disabled, black, POC, queer & poor kids: You're a morally reprehensible elitist, even eugenicist.

This isn't up for debate. Go pout if you disagree.

STUCK AT $70.00!! PLEASE HELP!! My partner has EDS, and they’ve been practically bed-bound ever since they weren’t able to pay for their medication. I’m doing this on their behalf for that exact reason. If 10 folks donated just $23.00, we’d be at our goal IMMEDIATELY & my partner can walk!

Please help my beautiful partner, Kay, get their monthly medicine. Without it their condition has worsened, they can barely sleep nowadays. I BEG that you donate, and share if you can't spare. I don't want to hear them cry anymore. #MutualAid #Disability #EDS

If you wanna help my partner, please help get them the money they need for proper medicine, so this doesn't keep happening to them. If 10 generous folks donated $23.00, or visa versa, we'd reach our goal. And thank you SO MUCH to the three who've donated!

PLEASE HELP!! My partner has been bed-bound for weeks, unable to afford their meds. You could change that! If NINE FOLKS donated $30.00, or 28 folks donated JUST TEN DOLLARS. We could ease their suffering. It’d mean so much to both of us. #MutualAid #Disability #EDS

I’d add banning Super PACS, and passing legislation that means Congress also doesn’t get paid during gov’t shutdowns.

This is why Dems fear Zohran Mamdani and Graham Platner. Because the status quo is convenient for them, and they’re loathe to change it.

Falco SkyWolf @falcoskywolf.bsky.social · 22h

The biggest RISK with the downfall of the chump is that if the Dems take over again, they'll just spend all their time patting themselves on the back going, "We Win At Politics," without actually UNDOING the damage the chump's regime (and previous ones like Bush and Reagan) has done.

We need a MAJOR overhaul of our political systems. The Constitution is a decent framework, but insufficient at protecting Human rights or preventing autocracy. No more Electoral College. More political parties (that actually have a voice.) Term limits for EVERYONE. And that's just the beginning.

Sort of tragicomic that Brett Kavanaugh is getting (deservedly) skewered for his concurring opinion in the Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo shadow docket order, when the SCOTUS majority stayed the trial court’s 4th Amendment order with *no opinion at all*
