Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

IIRC head size is predictive of eventual adult size?

Or maybe she’s just gonna be y’all’s height but will get there fast.

The things we should to do to every member of ICE once this regime ends test the boundaries of the 8th amendment.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Hello bluesky! I'm Nora and I have a jewelry store focused on fused glass; I also have game tokens and worry stones.

Cluster: nora.jewelry/collections/...
Worry stones: nora.jewelry/search?q=wor...
Earrings: nora.jewelry/collections/...

ad for the nora.jewelry collage collection, which consists of pieces made from patterned cane with some transparency piled on top of other different color canes and turned into a molded shape; the transparency creates a lot of depth in the final pieces, because you can see through the transparent bits to what is behind it. pictures are a pair of round green, white and purple cufflinks, a orange and yellow bolo tie, and a teardrop shaped pendant with a green/white design added to a pink design

ad for the cluster collection, a group of fused glass pendants (and a couple other things, but only pendants are pictured) made from placing glass cylinders on their ends in a group and melting them just enough to round them out but not enough to make them fully puddle like most of my designs. the result of this ends up looking a bit like fish eggs adhered to a flat surface, or a bundle of grapes. the ones pictured are a simple round aqua blue design with yellow middles, a purple design with distorted flowers (this one started out as regular flowers but rounded their petals in the kiln, blurring them) and a round tan design with brown and white middles.

worry stone collection: this one has an orange collage design worry stone in an abstract shape, a white and green one where the edges between the colors blur, and a round one in a bi pride pattern.

earring collection: this one shows a sparkly green aventurine pair of round earrings, one that's white/grey/clear with black spots (that one's made from spiral cane that I made flat and you can see the spiral in the final design) and one with swirling green, yellow and pink set in white.

all the backgrounds on all of these are an aventurine dragonskin sheet that i put at low transparency over white, so they have a lacy quality to them.

I wonder if any of the chuds doing murders for the glory of our dipshit in chief recognize that he’ll throw you under the bus as soon as it’s convenient for PR.

While you were watching the baseball, I studied the blade.

I’m currently at a pop culture convention with 120k+ attendees where there’s Game of Thrones stuff literally everywhere, and the Marvel TV panel was so overpacked they had to shut down the floor. But I will agree people do not talk about Succession quite as often as when it was airing every week.

Nobody really talks about Succession anymore. Or Game of Thrones. Sort of confirms my thesis that, with rare exceptions, television does not really matter.

Intent matters. I intend to do good and therefore that’s all that matters.

I’m sure there are several famous sayings about the importance of intent to back me up here.

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
