i specialize in pendants, cufflinks and bolo ties but i have recently started doing more with lightweight, easy to wear sterling silver earrings.

Bluesky search isn't broken, the devs are just overloading the system trying to find posts that they can use to ban random trans women

fucked up that this is all just landlords swatting their own buildings to get rid of all the working class residents so they can raise the rent or sell to a developer who'll flip them into high end condos or w/e

like it's a real estate scam! it's a fucking land grab! a fire for the insurance money!

There’s a lot in here that deserves a pull quote, but this is the most egregious. I need people to recognize the gravity of the situation here in Chicago;

The fun part of following the Stellaris subreddit is getting threads in your feed that read like you've accidentally joined an evil overlord support group

Thread titled "I want to maximize war crimes"

One of the things that brings me the greatest despair in authoritarianism is watching people react to state violence the way they react to domestic violence.

By justifying anything and everything the perpetrators does through blaming a victim for failing to be submissive enough.

One of the fundamental truths we need to acknowledge in this moment is that domestic violence is where fascists learned how to get away with their violence.

“What did you do to provoke him?” is exactly what victims hear when they try to seek help in an abusive relationship.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · 10h

Literally they've shot two people in Chicago alone, we're all unbelievably fortunate the woman they shot last fucking weekend survived

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Vicky ACAB @vickyacab.bsky.social · 11h

I know there's a lot to keep up with but someone has ALREADY been killed by ICE in Chicago, its not a theoretical question, and folks are dying in ICE detention and being disappeared constantly, when you say "someone's gonna get killed" youre actually washing the blood from their hands 😘✌️

No social media space since the invention of the smart phone is a haven. They're labs for commerce. Go hang out in your friend's shitty apartment.

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 1h

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.
