yall the outpouring of support and love has been so huge. I can never thank you enough for the incredibly kind things you've said and done for me over the last 24 hours, I have no doubts and no fear, just the knowledge and confidence of a community of solidarity and power that has my back. 😭😭😭

I need some help. Got laid-off on Friday: unannounced budget change + my position was first cut, so it was a total surprise. Thanks to a tax status loophole my employer manipulated, I cant get unemployment. In short im SOL

Anything you can give would be huge

Such a thoughtful conversation about managing conflict. I really appreciate the honesty about why these processes often fail (alongside the many suggestions for skills that can make them work better).

@vickyacab.bsky.social and @caw-shinythings.bsky.social are some of my favorite parscocial friendships on these goofy medias. It's worth skipping a couple coffees this week to help out.

Match me if you can, goobers.

Rest in power, Assata Shakur.

"A wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.
It can be broken down.

I believe in living
I believe in birth
I believe in the sweat of love
and in the fire of truth.

And i believe that a lost ship
steered by tired, seasick sailors,
can still be guided home
to port."

At approximately 1:15 PM on September

last earthly breath. Words cannot describe
the depth of loss that | am feeling at this

prayers that continue to anchor me in the
strength that | need in this moment. My spirit
is overflowing in unison with all of you who
are grieving with me at this time.
Sending much love and appreciation to you
all,

This week we're centering stories of resistance, were laughing at the pathetic cowardly fash, were not letting liberal bootlicking convince us all is lost. This week we're loudly, proudly the anti-state family abolishing gay nightmare they piss themselves about.

Q: "Why are culture and art important while the world is burning?"
A: "The world has been burning since 1492. Art and culture have been crucial for creating a sense of belonging, spreading radical ideas, resisting empire, imagining new worlds, building community, and helping you find your murder."
