hi @firefox.com! i am absolutely in love with your wonderful new mascot and i really want to buy one of the sweaters with him on but i wanted to clarify something first. it's difficult to tell from the product page — is the graphic of kit embroidered or printed onto the sweater? thanks so much! 😊

Not sure if I posted this, but my sole contribution to the Hades fandom.

Apparently it became a bit of a meme!

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

The reality of claiming PIP: a 🧵

1) To claim PIP you have to describe in excruciating detail all the ways you cannot function. This means that you are forced to think in very detailed terms exactly how disabled you are, which often has a devastating effect on the mental health of the applicant 1/?

when labour say they want to "get disabled people back into work" they really show their hand because they clearly have no idea what it's like to be a disabled employee.

the right's power has been built off the back of the willingness to kill and to threaten murder. this goes back decades, the crusade to repeal Roe had a legislative arm and it had a bunch of dudes willing to shoot or bomb clinics.

Meanwhile leftists go to prison for tweeting aggressively.
MAGA and Trump _will_ get someone killed. This is why he names relatives and spouses of the direct targets.

And he will always have plausible deniability of any involvement. You know, like his best buddy who has people fall out of windows.

It's how he keeps his GOP stooges in Congress in line.
Really ominous. Earlier this month someone threatened a sister of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett with a mail bomb. The escalating verbal attacks by Trump and his GOP allies against judges whose rulings they dislike are going to lead to violence www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

The tale of Esther-- of a heroine who had to hide her Jewishness to survive in a foreign court--was v important to Crypto-Jews, who appeared to convert to survive the Inquisition but secretly practiced their religion at home.

Their story, & why it matters for us as Christian Nationalism rises:

This is a big Bonnie Gordon (@bonniebellg.bsky.social) appreciation 🧵, because her kindness, consideration and love kinda feels a bit unsung. Or not celebrated enough. It's like this: Bonnie is a maelstrom. She's what my ADHD brain looks in human form only she channels it into creative energy 24/7.
