Screenshot of the post on the link. Post reads: "Hi I totally forgot I have this video I made of the first three dresden files books.
I actually had a few questions I'm thinking of posting the 4th and 5th books reviews together instead of waiting for three again. But I'll put it to a poll."

This is a great video by @jessiegender.bsky.social that is good perspective for anyone farther left than the Democratic Party to understand right now

There’s a big block of Americans that are a ripe for bringing into the real movement against fascism

“A real, genuine, hope chest, carved by Oberon’s own hand from the four sacred woods of Faerie—oak and ash for bracing and balance, rowan and thorn for pattern and protection.”

“Rosemary and Rue” by Seanan McGuire

LEGO build by me. Inspiration by @seananmcguire.bsky.social's wonderful universe

A LEGO model of a decorative hope chest with ornate gold and dark red accents, set atop a white, block-built base.
The chest is rectangular with tan brick detailing, a gold filigree design, and dark red accent pieces.
Small red rose-like petal LEGO pieces are scattered on the base.
The scene is lit, with a wooden floor and burgundy cloth backdrop.

There are two row of three disassembled LEGO pieces, all rectangular and square structures, that can be stacked and assembled easily with each other.
Top row consists of the two parts of the hope chest and the stand base.
The chest is split into two parts - base and a lid, with visible nougat bottom of the chest.
On the right to it sits the stand base with white brick and tiles, and some rounded elements in the corners.
A small round tile with the letter 'z' marks the artist signature, and two dark yellow bricks mark where the stand backbone should be attached.
The bottow row - left to rigth - shows the stand pillar backbone, the stand pillar external ornaments, and the stand top.
The stand backbone/hidden structure, consisting of dark yellow and light lavender bricks in a masonry pattern, finished with white tiles.
The stand external sleeve of the pillar is featuring solid white bricks - both with brick and smooth external look - ordered in an interchanging order, creating the illusion of a weaving of the structure.
Some of the bricks are covered with weaving-like continuiosly going toward top right pattern of golden leaves.
The stand top is fully white, covered with white tiles, some of them slightly raised to fix the position of the hope chest on the stand.

LEGO model of a beige and brown, adorned with gold floral and ornate handles hope chest.
It sits atop a matching white platform, and the platform sitting on top of a square white pillar decorated with gold floral embellishments.
Below the main image are four perspective views of the treasure chest and its pillar.

Nine-panel collage showcasing a detailed model of a hope chest, built entirely from LEGO bricks.
The chest is primarily beige and brown, adorned with gold floral and ornate handles.
It sits atop a white brick and tiles pedestal, also made of LEGOs, with several red rose-like petal pieces scattered on the surface and burgundy fabric in the background.
Different angles depict the chest's details, including its open and closed states, emphasizing the craftsmanship and design.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't.

Lindsey Boylan was the first whistleblower to come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo.

Her accusations & those of 12 others were corroborated by the NY AG (and later by DOJ.) Cuomo resigned.

Now he has lost again, and this picture is as unabashed a joy as you'll see.

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Let me tell you something

I’m a New Yorker, I do not take kindly to those people who talk about New York as though it isn’t a real place populated by real people. This is not an abstract. This is not some place on a tv show. Eight point five million people call New York City their home.

I'm certainly never going to be the world's biggest fan of the Catholic Church, but it really is nice that this is the second Reasonably Good Pope in a row, you know? They may actually manage to drag the Church kicking and screaming into at least the 19th century. Maybe even the 20th!

Oh — the situation has escalated.

Pope Leo has spoken out: says "spiritual rights" of detainees should be respected and calls on the "authorities" to allow "pastoral workers" in.

It's cool and all that Brianna Wu finally recognizes that her TERF buddies are snakes, but she spent months cheerleading genocide and where's her apology for that?

She spent weeks calling an Asian woman racist names on social media and said it was okay because her husband is Asian.

She spewed anti-Black racism to get into conservative circles. She said Palestinian kids were terrorists and justified starving children. She said nonbinary people didn't exist and accused them of betraying our community. Where are those apologies?

I genuinely believe that we white trans women owe a mandatory, nondelegable duty in every space we're permitted to enter to kick down the doors to make sure our nonbinary, transmasculine, and racialized siblings get in too.

Anyway, SNAP should be universal. Just like school lunches in NYC. Not everyone needs it to survive but everybody gets it, no means testing.

There should also be a lot fewer regulations on what you can buy with SNAP and discounts, not bans, on hot prepared foods.
