messy sketch of a goofy polar bear playing ragtime on an old upright. it's a messy good time, someone's spilling a drink, there's coins and roses scattered on the floor, piano keys are rolling, and the piano player turns back to give a sly smile.

Everytime I leave a place now, I say, "I'm gonna bounce like a castle."

This is going to catch on any day now.

print this out, laminate it, put it up everywhere you might be tempted to get into an argument with fascists. kirby ALL THEIR FRAMES, EVERY TIME. (also highly recommend the rest of the thread for concrete examples)

i made a template you can use to think about what "frame/negation/kirby" looks like for other issues.
For example:

Frame: DOGE is a govt efficiency project to save $

Negation: Actually it made things less efficient and cost $

Kirby: DOGE was a project to break and privatize federal bureaucracy
Top is an empty rectangle with a jagged line in the middle. The left side is labeled "Frame" "F is happening!" The right side is labeled "Negation" "F is not true!" Below is a large image of Kirby, a round pink blob with eyes with a small version of the Frame F shape flying into his mouth. To the right is a large pink rectangle labeled "Kirby" "K is happening, that's why they're saying F"

We're all supposed to be 100% in tune with white men's feelings. We're supposed to care about them at the expense of our own. We are supposed to live in fear of them getting upset. Treating their feelings as grenades that can go off at any time. They on the other hand do not need to care about ours.

We library folk do a good job talking about all the free services we offer, but I don’t see many of us talking about how libraries are one or the only places where you can use services without being advertised to.

Politicians love to talk about "kids safety" until you ask them to do something that would actually keep kids safe like fund housing, healthcare, education, outdoor spaces, arts programs, etc.

That's because most of them use "safety" as a euphemism for surveillance, control and domination.

I still need to do my playthrough of Celeste, or at least the first level, for TDOR. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
A modified screenshot from the video game Celeste, in which Madeleine has pink hair, signifying she's completed her journey even though it's the end of the first full level. She's standing at the memorial, with the text above in trans colors reading "Transgender Day of Remembrance This memorial dedicated and loving memory to all those who perished on the climb." The original monument makes no mention of trans people, but I've always loved this screenshot given the meaning of the game.

The latest from Lisa Laman is an excellent reminder of how to return to yourself after breaking up and offers some breathing space for aching hearts navigating the loss of friendships.

Pink felt heart with stitching down the middle beside red text in all-caps that says the title of this piece: "How Do I Navigate a Friendship Break-Up?" Below these, aqua text in all-caps says "Lisa Laman talks you through this highly underrepresented and often challenging kind of breakup with care and grace. Behind these, an aqua background and on the bottom right corner is Scarleteen's logo and tagline "Queer Sex Ed for All since 1998."

Digital art of a semi-realistic fat Mexican girl with a dark purple skirt and black crop top sitting down and throwing her head back as she drinks a glass bottle coke. She has long black hair, gold eyeshadow and gold jewelry, including a gold waist chain with celestial shapes hanging off it. Doodles decorate the white background, including one of her saying “Mexican coke just tastes better.”
