Happy Indigenous People Day!

Did you know that Indigenous women go missing and are murdered ten times more than average? They don’t even get a quarter of the attention that a white woman going missing would get. Please keep these women in your mind. Don’t forget them

Los Angelians: you have a responsibility, today on Indigenous Peoples Day, to shine light on the typhoon that just ravaged Alaskan villages & rally to provide care, support, & coverage of the devastation.

The world showed up for us when we had the fires. We were lucky to have FEMA-Biden. Speak up!

As per my promise to balance out any posting related to HP, check out this beautiful promotion for the upcoming Witch Hat Atelier anime! It's slated for 2026. Go read the manga too! There's better magical stories out there that deserve more love than HP.

Zaslav has reported that he expects the new Harry Potter series to run for 10 years. Disinterest can end an IP this big. The Fantastic Beasts franchise was killed by critical and commercial failure. So please, don't even hate-watch the show. And spread awareness on The Author's transphobia.

This is the appropriate response to fascism.

When the so called Republicans against Antifa & Justin Barrett's militant wing Clann Éireann decided to spread their propaganda in D8 today. They were taught a very valuable lesson by the locals. I hope they heed the warning. They're not welcome anywhere. Well done folks ✊

palestinian lesbians once again ✨
{ #art #pride }

Digital art Illustration of two women in a tender embrace in front of a arched window. Both women are Palestinian and wearing elaborately decorated traditional thobes. The woman to the left has a deeper skin tone and a tender smile. Her braided black hair is decorated with silver ornaments towards the bottom.

The woman to the right is wearing a heavy coin headdress that has chains leading down to her waist. Her face has subtle tattoos that match those on her hand.

In the arched window behind them there are palm trees in the distance and foliage that coveres the bottom of the window.

As an Italian in the US every year on this day I don’t know whether to be more embarrassed that it’s a federal holiday or by all the Italian Americans still celebrating it.

Today (and every day) let’s celebrate #IndigenousPeoplesDay instead.

Finished up a wolf pawprint tapestry!! Still shaking the dust off my sewing skills after not using them for a while, so there’s definitely some flaws on this tapestry, but I’m still happy with how it turned out!!
