A’ja Wilson’s 2025 Pride cake reads “let’s get one thing straight yall aren’t”

The cake is piped with rainbow rosettes and super gay decorations around the edge: two pairs of scissors, frooties candies, two black cats with intertwined tails, and a limp-wristed SpongeBob

A’ja Wilson’s 2024 Pride cake is pink with rainbow ribbon designs on the corners. It reads “hooray you gay” and features two pairs of glittery scissors, and tiny disco balls

You can tell it’s October when ppl start spreading drug sadism myths about expensive drugs given for free to school-age children, since children usually have the means to purchase more drugs…

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

I just finished my course on wildlife drawing walking my students through this drawing of a blue-flag iris. It was a lot of fun. My next course is coming up in November. We will be drawing, crows, ravens, and jays. 🌿
