It doesn’t appear to matter to UK racists that Kirk was murdered by a MAGA guy. They’re going to use it as an excuse to kill some of us anyway.

It’s tomato season! Making butter-braised tomato soup for the first time. We’ve got a few different varieties growing on the porch, plus some from a friend’s garden. Hoping it adds complexity to the flavor!

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Classes start back next week. Today I have been baking & crafting. Threw some dried blueberries my mother’s friend gifted us into an Izzy’s blackberry & pretended to be fancy.

Needs to be widely shared with cisgender people, especially politicians. Utterly horrifying that Britain has come to this- that most of Britain is just looking the other way while a whole community is being eliminated from society because of lies and hatred. transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...

and--idk quite how to articulate this--but the work of it is... critical to art-making. like you discover your intentions through the labor of expressing them. if I'd woken up at 17 with the technical ability to write a novel, i wouldn't have known what i was trying to say. the work IS the product.

It’s worth noting that Trump is borrowing from Netanyahu’s playbook with whatever he is attempting in DC.

Please read this from FCC Commissioner @agomezfcc.bsky.social to understand what is about to happen at CBS. The network’s content will now be fully-controlled by the Trump Administration.
A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

Love our logo!!! New England Graphic Medicine Summit is planned for October 24th, Boston, MA.
Check out our excellent logo for #NEGM25 this October by the talented hudrewthis.bsky.social ! It is an homage to local railroad construction foreman Phineas Gage, famous for the spike that impaled his head and suggested a link between personality & brain trauma.

I think I’ll be making some pesto this week. Happily surprised none of the basil has gone to seed with all the heat we’ve had. Trimmed a bit of rosemary and Thai basil too. Tomatoes, leeks and the poblano peppers also going strong

A short video about neo-Nazi dress codes in Berlin, which I recorded after yesterday’s protest against Israel’s mass starvation of Palestinians. The most distinctive ones at the moment are Yakuza, Thor Steinar, Lyle and Scott, and Ellesse, but there are others.

Please watch. Aguilar knows this is more than an interview. He is quite deliberately offering *testimony.*

One of the most incontrovertible statements I've seen–an American professional soldier, West Point-trained, bluntly stating he witnessed war crimes committed by the IDF and U.S. mercenaries.

worth noting that 80% of women incarcerated in the US have a diagnosed mental illness. heat can both exacerbate the illness itself, AND many of the medications we use to treat it make you even more prone to risk from heat
Please read this first-person essay from Lanae Tipton, an incarcerated journalist in Texas with a desperate plea for air conditioning in prisons. She’s watched women seize on the floor from the heat. As one prison staffer said, “I vomited blood.”

More than two-thirds of Texas’ 100 prisons don’t have air conditioning — that can mean the difference between life and death.

The first privately developed U.S. nuclear enrichment facility is going to be built in Paducah, Kentucky at the site of a former nuclear fuel plant.

The US government is now allowing a private citizen to enrich uranium, aka nuclear bombs.

That private citizen is "destroy humanity" Peter Thiel.
