Your friendly neighborhood, AuDHD, vegan, lesbian, nb spider. She/her/they/them I don’t share anything without alt text (except Palestinian fundraisers). I block all “homeschooling” parents. I hate fascism and love rats.

Guys you have to just block everyone who seems like they might report Palestinians. If you don’t block them they will go to your page and report the Palestinians you repost. I know they are terrible people and it feels good to dunk on them, but you have to block them to keep people safe.

❗️Our friends Reem and Sakher are very sick and weak, everything suddenly stopped, ok it's ceasefire but it didn't improve their living conditions.

So please if you can donate via their GFM or share their original post, thanks for them 🙌

Sakher and Reem 🍉🇵🇸 @4sakher1.bsky.social · 2d

Every day feels like starting from nothing.
I lost everything — my home, my grandmother, my studies, my future… everything I had.
Now I’m just trying to rebuild a small piece of my life again, with your kindness and your help. 💔

I just want to rebuild a small piece of my life again — to feed my family, to buy medicine, to feel human again.
💔 Please don’t scroll past me.
Your help can bring me back to life.

I’m exhausted from pain, hunger, and endless loss.
But I still hold on — because I have to take care of my family, because I still believe there’s kindness left in this world.
I’m not asking for much.

For two years, my life has been nothing but survival.
War took everything from me — my home, my health, my peace, my future.
I lost everything I had, and I’m still here, fighting to stay alive.
My body is weak. My health is gone

Is murdering random people in boats really illegal if you do it with big enough ordinance? (Yes, it’s still illegal to murder people even if you do it with a missile—maybe especially if you do it with a missile).

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text.
--
Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

I got like a cup and a half of Lima beans from my whole season gardening. Please don’t tell people they should garden instead of buying food, it’s difficult and requires a lot of space and you have to build up fertility in the soil over years.

Chicago is coming out barefoot in their pajamas to chase ICE away and I think that’s beautiful. What a great city.

Reem and Sakher need our support NOW more than ever.

They are both not well and are lacking the funds to buy nutritious food, warm winter clothes and medicine. Also Sakher's dad has just had an operation and needs care.

Please donate if you can, share if you can't. Thank you! 🫶

🧵 Helpful Halloween Driving Safety Tips

Night of the Living Ted Raymond @tedraymond.bsky.social · 4d

Hallowe'en is just around the corner and it is one of the most dangerous days for children. Here are some safety tips:

1) Avoid hitting children with your pickup truck, SUV or other motor vehicle. It is technically against the law to harm or kill a child with your vehicle and you could be charged.

Phidippus Audax @phidphriend.bsky.social · 1d

Damn, frost happened unexpectedly last night. I hope I didn’t lose my Lima beans, internet says they should still be harvestable down to 28 degrees and it seems it only went down to 32. I guess we’ll see the damage when the sun comes up.

We’re still living in a torn tent, still hungry, still trying to survive another day.
I don’t have much strength left, but I still have hope — and I still believe in the kindness of people.
Please don’t stop supporting me.

These have been the hardest two years of my life.
I lost everything — my home, my work, my dreams.
I’ve survived bombings, hunger, displacement, and nights of fear.
I’m still here… but every day feels like a new battle just to stay alive.
