The Gazans are displaced and without work, aid or medical services. They rely on donations to survive day by day. A ceasefire won't change their plight.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to make a home. And to others. ❤️

Housework on coming home
Tedium that I didn't expect
And a quick check in turned into an emotional spiral I was not prepared for

Dammit, I was supposed to just figure out a simple PATTERN and finish somebody's SKETCH tonight

I didn't have "complete meltdown" on that list but it's kinda taken over

CN sex toy, suggestive

Look how well @bardtoys.bsky.social's Dark Mantle wears that lube 🫠

Originally took this one for a someone else but figured it's too cute not to share with you folks. What do we think of my recent purchase?

I'm doing another print run of these "Biology is Bigger than Binaries" shirts!

Back, quite literally, by popular demand. Bullying works, sure, but so does a bunch of nice cutie patooties politely asking!

Order 'em now, I'll mail 'em in early November.

Folks worry about fascism

I’ve been job hunting for a year

In terrified that white folks, non Black , and “hustle culture” are gonna shrug off the utter decimation of the prime earning years of an already compromised populace

And do no work or planning beyond

God if the outcome of all this is a discovery that a specific type of black mold makes you a weird bigot I'm gonna have a hearty chuckle then fill my pockets with stones and walk into a lake. We are now living in the mold age. The mildew years. The roaring fungis.

Suuuure it's the "molds" fault. Whats next, a very specific strain of mold that turns children's book authors into raging terfs?

I did the "Draw your OC in this" thingy @zibe.bsky.social did!
Here is Demyr, enjoying his lovely new outfit.
#art #comic #goatsandghouls #oc #furry #furryart #goat

Demyr is a black anthro goat with green eyes and a streak of white in his mane/hair. He's wearing a very cute, long, orange and black striped sweater that sits off the shoulder. It has a tight leather belt in the middle and so the bottom is like a short skirt. He's got some kind of garters on that form pentagrams and is wearing a spiked collar. Very gothy. He looks like he's enjoying his reflection in a mirror.

Waverly Barbie working out theories in her murder journal because making a mini replica of the murder journal is an excellent use of my evening.

A custom Barbie doll with long dark hair wearing a red and black plaid jacket is holding a journal. She has a messenger bag and a camera. Behind her is a mini corkboard with maps and notes and evidence, and beside her is a workstation with a mini light shining on an open laptop, papers, phone, and coffee.

Good reporting, HOWEVER!!! I hate the phrase “school choice.” What it really means is “forced resegregation”

Megan O'Matz @megomatz.bsky.social · 1d

The Trump administration is working to dramatically expand school choice, moving kids to a range of private & religious schools or homeschooling. Ultimately, what percentage of children would remain in public schools? A Moms for Liberty co-founder told me: “I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.”

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...
