This is an introduction thread for my account:

I'm Mara, a queer and disabled artist interested in a lot of things.

Currently I'm focusing on lino prints and rubber stamps.

You were moved to do this by pride and by hate. Is it any wonder the result was ruin?

I feel like it's not worth, because I always knew, we wouldn't live here for long. And my headache also stops me of course.
I wish we could own a place where we knew we would stay for the foreseeable future and where we don't need to ask for permission.

And cool wood paneling. But I'd also need the skills for it.

I wish I had the energy and money and equipment to make my own tiles and wallpapers. Preferably in my own house.

🐧 Puffin fact #2: Puffins are amazing flyers. They flap their wings up to 400 times a minute, reaching speeds of 55 mph. Underwater, they “fly” through the sea to chase fish!

Hab gesagt "Danke, aber ich habe kein Burnout"

"Bist du sicher?"

Mara @thecatfreaky.bsky.social · 6h

Mein Dad hat mir gerade das Buch "Depressionen und Burnout überwinden" empfohlen, weil es ihm von jemandem empfohlen wurde, der seit 3 Monaten krankgeschrieben ist.

Ich habe chronische Schmerzen. Kein Burnout.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

The only reason this isn’t considered trafficking via fraud is because crime is something poor people do

Fascist Dem Tracker @fascistdemtracker.bsky.social · 13h

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

There is nothing quite like encountering the magic of the
Unipiper in Portland for the first time.

The Oregonian @oregonian.com · 13h

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

More on how the tone of Portland's protests has shifted: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
