As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

Screenshot of a direct message on Facebook Messenger. One person has sent to the viewer three messages spread out over a few days with no response. Each one says "new sinkhole pilgrimmage tonight queen??" with the eyes emoji. The "new sinkhole pilgrimmage" part is obviously edited in to replace the original content.

I'm proud to announce my latest pin design!

These are for everyone with split pronouns who gets tired of people only referring to them one way. My lenticular pin shows different pronouns at different angles!

Please share with anyone who might like one 💖 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4396... #SciArt

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

"Gary? Yes... that was what they used to call me. Dark Gary. That was my name.

I am Light Gary, and I come back to you now at the turn of the tide."
Screenshot of an online store product selection. It shows a man in the same hat twice, one in dark grey, one in light. The product is misspelled as "Gary" instead of grey.

Happy Halloween from Strega Nona 🍲🥄

She is gesturing to a man slightly out of frame. She wears a long purple skirt, brown shoes, white apron, green vest, pink shirt, and white headscarf. She has a large nose and chin. She points to a large cauldron at her feet.

Happy Halloween to all creatures 🦇🐀🦝🎃
An illustration with a circular frame. A witch is sitting above a pentagram drawn on the earth. She is levitating above it with her hair floating outwards, wearing a goat skull mask. She is holding a tiny zine which is emanating bright orange smoke. The pentagram has 5 candles set at the star points, and animals gathered around. The animals are a raccoon, opossum, rat, skunk and a coyote.

I think about this LeGuin essay a lot. (link in next post; you should read it too.)
Its technology is how a society copes with physical reality: how people get and keep and cook food, how they clothe themselves, what their power sources are (animal? human? water? wind? electricity? other?) what they build with and what they build, their medicine — and so on and on. Perhaps very ethereal people aren’t interested in these mundane, bodily matters, but I’m fascinated by them, and I think most of my readers are too. Technology is the active human interface with the material world. But the word is consistently misused to mean only the enormously complex and specialised technologies of the past few decades, supported by massive exploitation both of natural and human resources. This is not an acceptable use of the word. “Technology” and “hi tech” are not synonymous, and a technology that isn't “hi,” isn’t necessarily '“low” in any meaningful sense. We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called “technology” at all. As if linen were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs, aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers — as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe... One way to illustrate that most technologies are, in fact, pretty “hi,” is to ask yourself of any manmade object, Do I know how to make one?
