Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Folks who tell you that it’s okay to temporarily sacrifice a marginalized group in order to win

Do not care about the marginalized group

I have (had?) an account on an Indigenous-run server, but I just hated the interface so much I stopped using it, so I honestly don't even know if it's still active.

NEW - Trans people are victim to immense bigotry that we experience every day of our lives, ranging from the mundane to life-altering. @thefreeradical.org reports on four stories of large companies discriminating against trans people & what we can do!

I'd recommend she stay away from windows in high-rise buildings in the foreseeable future. Putin might not like her making trouble for his lapdog.

Times are tough for artists, writers, and other creative folk. If you have the means, consider signing up for someone's Patreon, or commission some art, or buy a book. Write a skeet about a creative you enjoy. Spread the word about their work.

I hope so, too. (I mean, having contacted their offices dozens of times already, I'm not holding my breath, but I'm also not going to stop being a thorn in their sides.)

I called both their offices before I posted. Got through to Gallego, had to leave a message with Kelly. 5 Calls has been a great app for me; streamlines the whole process.

Wounded Knee is not just a story about the past. It is a mirror that reflects how this nation continues to treat Native peoples and how easily it excuses violence when it is convenient to its own myths.

With Wounded Knee Medals, Trump Admin Suggests There’s Valor in Genocide

The call to rescind those medals is not about erasing history, but about refusing to let lies and conquest define it.

If the govt shuts down, I could lose work.

If it stays open at the cost of gender-affirming care, I could lose my child.

I can replace lost income. I can't replace my daughter.

@gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, don't sacrifice trans people on the altar of political convenience.

1. It's shutdown day, and anti-trans provisions are on the line... either today, or in a few more weeks if a clean continuing resolution passes.

Trump posted a video this morning blaming a shutdown on trans people and immigrants.

Here is your shutdown guide.

IT'S #CHOICESANTHOLOGY RELEASE DAY!!! To celebrate, I'm hosting an AMA here ALL DAY

Ask your questions about the anthology itself, reproductive rights, and writing/editing generally & I'll pop in every 30 minutes to share answers

And be sure to grab the book! books2read.com/u/3JYo9Q

Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa.

The right side says: “As the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them.
These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”

And you can explore even more with Carrie Harris’
The Forbidden Visions of Lucius Galloway: An Arkham Horror Novel (The Drowned City). Her book is a stand alone adventure happening at the same time as my duo.

AIPAC messes in Dem primaries and also bankrolled 109 GOP election-deniers. No self-respecting Dem candidate should meet with them let alone take their money. If you want a Dem Party that fights back, get AIPAC out of our primaries - and support candidates brave enough to take them on.

Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social · 9d

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

What a great list to be included in!

If you're in Vancouver, do come out to Massy Books and hear about who Bad Indians are, why reading intentionally matters, and what it all has to do with Land (and waters) Back.

Okay! This is the week I get laid off! If you'd like to help out a trans creative in Portland I hope you'll consider buying my trans magical girl stories!

"Magica Riot" is a book full of trans joy, monster fighting, rock music, and cute outfits. And its sequel is almost here! magicariot.com/buy

Artwork of the cover art of "Magica Riot," featuring protagonist Claire in her purple magical girl costuming posing in front of the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon. Across the top, artwork of her and the other four main characters in a park is placed. Around the book art are placed several blocks of text: "trans protagonist," "entirely queer cast," "found family energy," "thrilling action," "music-based magic," "goopy monsters," "useless lesbians," "modern-day Portland." A quote from Strange Horizons Magazine calling the book "Brilliant trans joy" comes next. Finally, text at the bottom reads: "Recommended if you like Sailor Moon, Symphogear, Pretty Cure, Power Rangers"
