The petition for Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee being held in an ICE camp, is over 3300 signatures!

Rodney has been in the US since he was 2 years old.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

If you can’t afford books but want to support your favourite authors - borrow and request from your library!!! We LOVE libraries and it’s a wonderful way to support both the author and the libraries who help so many kids have access to reading 🥹❤️ especially right now!

It fucks me up that most adults can't take art seriously as a medium for storytelling. Like it's considered a normal thing for adults to enjoy going to a museum and hanging a painting in their house but they draw the line at reading a graphic novel because "comics are for kids". That's insane.

LMAOOOOOOOOO Black women tried to tell you 🤷🏿‍♀️

I saw what seemed like references to Megan thee Stallion, Beyonce, and another

From what I’m hearing it sounds like a dog whistle for conservatism. And she’s participating in misogynoir because her boyfriend used to exclusively date BW? So not just random hate. Some lyrics look like punching down on BW musicians

I wish I had a giant pizza stone! 😝 I’m making multiple pizzas from one batch. I use cookie sheets like a pizza stone. I put them in the oven while it’s preheating. Then use my wood cutting board like a pizza peel and slide them onto the sheet using parchment paper 🍕

Lmaooo I’ve been doing this with pizza and cookies. The biggest bowl I have is too heavy for my arms, and I store it on the top shelf for some reason 😅 (no other place to put it)

I was thinking the same thing. We can’t keep moving around and getting used to each new platforms quirks. Or we can but ugh

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

I’ve deinfitely dealt with it in ace spaces, ND spaces, art spaces, etc. I hate it

Trying to finish this witchy darling for this month ✨🖤🎃🖤 ✨

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

Watching Slaxx for the first time. What the heck did I get myself into? 😆

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night.

All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.
