I’m trying, with a group of other folks, to create a network of drop in facilitated resting spots so that we can listen to each other and breathe together without having to fix anything or battle.

My sister has been doing court watching and hearing about it feels important. This new resource gives an inside look at what is happening every day to people trying to follow the immigration rules.
You can always find our reports from NYC immigration courts, including new posts every Monday, on Ghost (eyes-on-immigration-court.ghost.io) or Substack (eyesonimmigrationcourt.substack.com). We also welcome collaboration with those on the ground for immigrant justice in other cities - DM us!

Feeling this today...
hot take: Autistic people who take to leadership roles often engage w/ their position w/ the “servant leadership” approach, viewing their duty as being to the people that report to them, raising up peoples’ strengths to create successful autonomous teams

& the few of us skilled at that get promoted

I know that some of you #onhere have access to people with money. Get some of them to invest in Lex and the other staffers laid off from Teen Vogue.

There it is.
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.

You want to democratize "going to therapy"? Make it "free" as in paid by socialized healthcare. You want to democratize "making art"? Give people money and free time to express themselves.

A handy guide to the upcoming holiday:
If a kid is on SNAP and you've decided this is the one moment you're going to care: give them the candy
If a kid can't verbally say "trick-or-treat" : give them the candy
If a kid looks too old to be trick-or-treating: give them the candy

Hope this helps!

Wait until they find out that some of us have cousins that aren't our cousins.
Wait, are people really upset that Mamdani spoke about his “aunt,” and it was actually his father’s cousin and not his father’s sibling?

Because that is an extremely normal thing a lot of cultures do. Including a lot of large Jewish families!
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

Link is Black, Autistic, and a fucking delight. What are we even doing with this ban when the rest of the world is *gestures broadly* what ARE you thinking?

#FreeLink
Link was one of the early members of Bluesky, he's a lawyer and disability advocate. He pointed out Jay, the CEO of Bluesky was following a noted transphobe and was critical of this. Then he was suspended. When people were like WTF, it was said his ban was due to posting a Charlie Kirk reaction meme
Who is link and why were they banned, I finally gotta ask

Whew. Lemme tell how much this resonates.

Also, support Bibi. She rocks. Go buy stuff from her store. Now. Especially if you’re white or abled. Get over there and take some of that energy from No Kings and support someone who has been doing the work forever, with far more barriers than you!
People often get at me for not speaking up about some issues or people that have done bad things. And the thing is when I do speak up. I am not believed, I get harassed and all the people that encouraged me to speak up turn against me. So I pick my own battles carefully now.

Given his unjust banning, I am taking up Link's charge and doing Fund Me Fridays in his stead.

If you have funding needs, drop them in the thread below. I'll also be grabbing links that I've missed from previous threads and reposting them.

Today is a good day to meet some people's needs.

Apparently people have been getting their needs fully met from that thread I started as well as the multiple other threads inspired by Link.

If this doesn’t demonstrate Link’s impact and the value of BlueSky as a mutual aid network, I don’t know what can.

Keep it up y’all.

Link requested this be boosted so we can help Dr. Divya raise money for Palestinian families in need.

It is also a good day to reinstate Link’s account.

Who Link was here & how he formed site culture, insisting on alt text & accessibility & disability justice, insisting on standing with trans people, mutual aid, irreverent shitposting, shows exactly that this culture of early bluesky that forged the platform is the opposite of what the team wants.
