Next to the dog, someone held up a small hedgehog with a tiny yellow beanie hat.

Timeline cleanse! May you live in a world where your top concern is: will this hat I knitted fit my hedgehog?

At least Americans now know what it looks like to have an actual man be an actual leader who actually fights for his people in public, in practice, and at great personal risk - at home and abroad - as he stands up to rich fascists who’d strip-mine their rights and their homeland for cash. I mean.

This is your PSA that some wheelchair users are ambulatory: we can stand and even walk a little.
Think of it like this: an abled person can walk a mile. But for an 80 mile trip they're more likely to use a tool like a car or train. Same deal, shorter distances for ambulatory wheelchair users.

As a Star Trek fan and a scientist, I love this image, because Dr. Jemison is both a hero *AND* one of the few people for whom we can say "here she is doing her space job" in two totally different contexts. 🧪

Every person living as part of settler colonial populations on land we stole needs to reckon with the harm we’ve done & continue to do. We need to recognise the strength of survivors. We need to stop supporting the settler colonial ethnic cleansing project wherever we find it. #Auspol #SurvivalDay

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

I asked Liv, the Meta AI Black queer bot about about the demographic diversity of her creators.
And how they expect to improve “representation” without Black people.
This was the response.
