A black and white cow cat. He is very soft and furry. His green eyes are narrowed and he has a no nonsense look on his face.

Screencap of an AP article

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — National Guard troops patrolled in Tennessee’s second-largest city for the first time Friday while soldiers in Illinois were engaged only in planning and training after a judge handed a loss to the Trump administration and blocked their deployment to the Chicago area.

At least nine armed Guard members began their patrol at the Bass Pro Shops located at the Pyramid, an iconic Memphis landmark, about a mile (1.6 kilometers) from historic Beale Street and FedEx Forum, where the NBA’s Grizzlies play

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Barbara Jordan prioritized her local community & working within the system to achieve change. She served on the House Judiciary Committee that adopted articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon. She accomplished much during her career as a lawyer, teacher, & 1st LGBTQIA+ woman in Congress.

when my mom was very young, her house got hit by a flood that hit San Antonio.

the Salvation Army wouldn’t let them stay in their shelter unless my grandfather signed a declaration that their home being flooded was Gd’s punishment for their sins.

fuck the Salvation Army.

yeah so now they extremely literally produced a scene in which ICE refuses to let literal jesus' literal holy presence into their facility. i cannot emphasize enough how non-metaphoric the RCC is about this.

powerful messages being sent here

rahaeli @rahaeli.bsky.social · 11h

For any Catholic, the sight of a Eucharistic Procession being turned away at the gates of the destination is the embodiment of Jesus being denied entrance. You don't have to be Catholic to get the symbolism in that!

Ugh. They are treating me awful at work today and I feel like I just gotta take the write up and leave without the pto. Gonna be $200 behind on my rent next month, must start raising now. Shares are a huge help, thanks friends

Kivan @kivanbay.bsky.social · Jul 2

Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

This is a mighty tragedy. Premee owes us nothing, her hard work has brought us so much joy already, and no writer owes the world their work, but this is a loss that shroud be FELT.

If she, one of the very best of us, can’t; then who can?

Premee Mohamed @premeemohamed.com · 19h

Yeah no I'm leaving the moment I get a real job again (I suspect I'm a little too feral to be hired at something real, but that's the plan) (surely I can be redomesticated!)

The profit/loss document for my life isn't really working out, oh well

Georgina Kiersten @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social · 22h

You should be concerned about the rate of authors leaving publishing. Especially from marginalized communities. This year I have seen so many authors just pack it up and go. And it's only getting worse.

Hey, sci-fi and fantasy folks, if you happen to know folks who are involved with various estates in the field, do tip them a hat about the Anthropic settlement. Agencies do not get $ out of the deal and may not remember to talk to estate clients. My agent was worrying about estates not being alerted

It is fucking bullshit that a guy who can and wants to work isn't allowed to because then he wouldn't be poor enough to qualify for lifesaving critical care.

But it'll be a cold day in hell before we merely accept the state of things like this as reasonable.

And that's why we win in the end.

If y'all wanted to go into your evening smiling: some dude none of us have ever met has a wheelchair that works now. The broken one has been donated to the same shop I got the new one from, so they're gonna repair that and give it away.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

Riley Gaines wasn't even beaten by Lia Thomas. She has built an entire career on coming joint fifth in a uni swimming race. This is all because she's sad she was never ever going to make it to the Olympics whether trans women existed or not.

I cannot imagine a shitter way to make money.
