In #ToveJansson's Moomin books, Ninni, made invisible by abuse, is restored by the kindness of the #Moomin family. Maybe kindness won't restore all invisible sick, injured or hated people to visibility, but it can't hurt. #ME/cfs #ChronicIllness #Neurodiverse #LGBTQIA+ #BIPOC #survivors #immigrants
An invisible child has visible clothes so we can tell she's sitting there from her dress and the big bow on her head. That's Ninni. Sneaking out from behind her is another child, with a mischievous look and a high topknot in her red hair. That's Little My, who finds Ninni very boring at first. What kind of kid can't play any games? But once Ninni becomes visible, she'll be as much fun as Little My.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:
I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

“Real Simple” must think I’m simple. They keep pushing me to buy tawdry gimcracks from Target and Amazon. Don’t worry, I won’t. But I will jab at my phone until I get rid of “Real Simple.”

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay
No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

Crips: Know You’re Not Alone

#NoKings Here’s a guide on protesting from home. Also they have tips for protesting while crippled. Me, I will postcard and email if able. Remember even if you can do no action, Survival is an Act of Defiance. bsky.app/profile/meac...
aclu.org ACLU @aclu.org · 26d
If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.
"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

The first half focuses on creating a more accessible protest and the second half focuses on attending an in-person protest safely. Today's thread is focusing on in-person but first a reminder- you matter! Your survival matters.

Many actions can be taken from home, too!
Text: First. A reminder. However you can participate matters! And if right now your way to join in is by your survival - that is enough! That has to be the first and most important thing. You matter! Actions that can be taken from home: Calling elected officials Petitions Emails Asking friends and family to join the movement Donating to orgs Sharing important news & actions

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”

Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.

No questions asked.

No proof required.

Pass it on.

Since yesterday when I read about the new COVID vaccine regulations I have been enraged. When this was hinted at in March some people told me I was overreacting.

No, I wasn’t overreacting then and I am not now. The regime truly doesn’t care that they will kill us. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/27/f...
FDA approves new Covid shots with limits on who can get them under RFK Jr.
It's unclear how easily patients without high risk factors will be able to get a Covid shot, and whether insurance plans will still cover them.
