I honestly don’t know how well letter-writing campaigns work, but I signed this and wrote a comment. If you live here, maybe you can do the same.
Within months, @mndot.mn.gov wants to remove all freeway removal options from its "Rethinking I-94" process--BEFORE the real environmental & health review

30 orgs, including 15 neighborhood associations, have signed onto this letter asking them to keep freeway removal in the mix

You can sign too!

Do y’all not see that these attempts to make Mamdani a Jew vs Muslim issue is CLASSIC white supremacy pitting minority groups against each other in order to divide us because we are very dangerous to them when we’re in community?? Are y’all for real gonna fall for that shit!?

Fucking bigots are scared of their own shadow.

Which is fair, because their shadow’s attached to a bigot.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

I don’t know, peeps, but I just keep coming back around to the idea that what so many people want is a hopeful vision of a better world, with autonomy, dignity, & respect for all, affordability of food/shelter, education, medical care, clean air/water, & a place in a community. That’s the message.

Oh NYC, congratulations! Now if Minneapolis can just do the same to Frey…

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

Hi! Cis queer person here who overwhelmingly supports trans rights, yes. And I am not alone in that.
It’s the NYT trying to cover their own asses for helping to diminish trans people’s rights, by trying to paint themselves as just going along with “normal gay” interests. It’s a crock of shit. Cis gay people overwhelmingly support trans people and overwhelmingly also vote Democratic

it is beyond time to see your own complicity in the present moment: when you only mask at protests & never even consider doing so in the grocery store, pharmacy, on public transit, you contribute to a social climate able to criminalize protective tools. CHOOSE SOLIDARITY, prevent infection, mask up.
resist mainstreaming the far right & their ideals with choices you make every day—an easy one is to wear a respirator in, at the very least, public indoor spaces.

needless spread of novel & thought-to-be-gone pathogens has been key to the eugenicists playbook. prevent it.

I have the newest @guygavrielkay.bsky.social book now in my hands (worth the wait to support @bookshop.org ) and I fully plan to be crying by… hmm, evening tomorrow, at a guess?

I always, always thought I was Brown, until someone on here said White was the “spreadsheet Ajah” and now I might have to change allegiances. (Did you know Excel has a 255 character limit for formulas? I didn’t until I accidentally hit it.)

Joy has been my favorite non-reader reactor since I found her videos. She's truly a part of this community and her reaction here speaks for all of us, I think. (Also, she's going to react to the books, which should be amazing)

Amazon left The Wheel of Time hanging by a thread. Rosamund Pike cried foul, but her plea fell on deaf ears. 3 seasons in & story's axed mid-spell.

Think I might do a #TheWheelOfTime rewatch to work out my feelings… on Apple TV, since I promptly cancelled my ad-free Prime subscription.

So your wages are higher than before, but...

You can't afford college. Or a house. Or healthcare. Or childcare. Or to eat food that doesn't come chlorine rinsed and full of chemicals unfit for European consumption...

But you can afford a sweet phone, a few handheld gaming devices, and a gaming PC!

@soundscapeoftime.bsky.social Is there a way to play these on mobile if my books are in Audible? The only thing keeping me from getting them is that it looks like it’s PC only from the FAQ…

If you’ve been following because you’re fellow WoT fans, you can probably expect me to talk more about the other things I’m doing, like getting back into #FFXI and continuing the learn Japanese. Some sewing, some knitting, some cats.
May 24, 2025 at 1:30 PM
Yes, I’ve seen the #TheWheelOfTime news and it’s depressing as hell thinking about not seeing the rest of Rafe’s vision of the show. It will sit in my heart next to the sorrow of never getting to see the end of RJ’s vision of the books.

I may have had a little too much downtime at work today, as I’ve now studied Japanese for 4 hours in between work tasks.

Plantations are mass graves and memorials to atrocities. They should be treated like concentration camps, because that's exactly what they are. They should be treated as such, not used as wedding venues or party sites.

Like, so many people are talking about the loss of a business with genuine grief (and making videos about it!) and not once engaging with how plantations were built and what they actually represent in American history. It's wild to do that with your whole name and face attached.
