The klan, the police, the butcher, baker and candlestick maker in every little Southern hamlet used to disappear Black people too.
When they didn't step off the street.
When they whistled.
When they bought a new suit and stood too straight.
Fascism isn't new here. It's coming for you too.

ONE parent. And in Florida, ONE man is responsible for 40% of all book challenges in the state. The book banners are a tiny minority. Make that clear by speaking up in favor of the freedom to read. (Email your school board!)
Thanks to @aclusc.bsky.social and @authorsabb.bsky.social working in SC to fight bans. The challenges have been brought by 1 parent who earlier filed 97 challenges in Beaufort County, nearly all of them denied. She's re-challenging now that a state law passed in July 2024 makes banning easy.

Done. I can't believe this was just 3 days ago. Thanks to @prisonculture.bsky.social for the idea. Thanks to @dell.bsky.social for the boost. The idea? During #TeslaTakedown events, present consumers with an alternative to Tesla as you do your part to save democracy.

In 2009 GOP Member of Congress Joe Wilson screamed “you lie” during Obama’s SOTU. No censure by the GOP, only “reprimanded” by Dems
At Biden’s SOTU 2022 Lauren Boebert and MTG heckled him, nothing..
But Dems will happily throw their Black colleague under a bus for white moderate voter pandering

I'm of two minds because on the one hand, yes, I definitely have my concerns about the tropeification of both Romance and Fantasy
But also I'd really love to see more BIPOC and queer writers get to jump in on the romantasy train before we all collectively decide enough is enough

I have received more bots on a single post on Bluesky than I ever got on any singular post on Twitter.

I pray that everyone has blessed month of peace, self-improvement, spiritual growth and forgiveness.
I have such FOMO since I am not able to fast this year again but hope to make the most of Ramadan in the ways that I can.

a concept my therapist taught me that has radically changed my approach to community and care is that healthy relationships require room for repair.
we are all going to hurt and be hurt by one another as we try to survive this current moment. remember to keep room for repair whenever you can

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.
