You need jail support. You need on-call attorneys. You need bail. You need to make sure all of those things remain off-site until after arrests.
No one cares whether you’re breaking the law or planning to break the law or any of it.
Stay ready.

Quick tips if you’re protesting:
Wear a mask & cover your tattoos.
Dress in nondescript clothing.
Use Signal — better yet, don’t take your phone.
Tell folks where you’re going/when you’ll be back.
Take some cash & your id.
Don’t wear jewelry or contacts; wear glasses.
I love you, stay safe.

Feeding children should not be political. Not when it's Palestinian children, not when it's kids in schools. Not anywhere, not ever. If you think there is any child who deserves to be hungry, you are morally bankrupt.

Greta *is* still talking about climate change. Because climate and colonialism and capitalism are inextricable. Her climate activism has just become less palatable to some people.

Some good news in a shitty world: starting with the April issue, trampset is raising writer rates from $25 to $30 per accepted piece. You still got to have PayPal for a trampset payment, but an increase nonetheless!

I do not want kinder, gentler fascism. I do not want a more compassionate fossil fuel industry. I want to burn these systems to the ground and dance on their still-smoldering ashes. And I don’t think they’re going to give me a permit for that.

Ok, Baltimore, time to find an indoor home for Mr. Rogers!
He's been living in our guest room and wandering around the house for two weeks now, and he's had all his shots and has been treated for parasites. He has immaculate manners, no spraying, and just wants lots of scritches and playtime.
