We will not stop until they stop. 💕
We’ve reached the point in this crisis where comrades from out of state are shipping us packages of thousands of whistles to distribute.
Know that when we win here- we’ll return that favor for the next city. Just as Chicago has taught us.
We are all in this together.

This is Uni. She has ridden to work with her human every day in their bike basket for the last seven years. Has been offered many other forms of transportation, but refuses them all in favor of the Honey Baked Ham Express. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: unihalo)

Anniversary of halifax explosion so obligatory
"Hold up the train. Ammunition ship afire in harbour making for Pier 6 and will explode. Guess this will be my last message. Good-bye boys."
- Vincent Coleman
saved like 300 people on a train, and started the emergency response. Died for it

15 years ago I was an intern for the Poetry Society of the UK, where one of my tasks was digitally transcribing poems that had won the National Poetry Competition in previous decades, mainly by amateurs. One of these began:
There's a dog in the dark, Mrs. Doughty
And a moment of truth in the tea
There's a dog in the dark, Mrs. Doughty

Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

every time you really land a joke, just remind yourself, "wow, all that money and Elon Musk still can't do that"

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

people like Sabrina Carpenter saying essentially "decent people don't want the stench of ICE or this White House anywhere near them" to an audience of millions that includes a lot of young people helps empower them against ICE while reminding ICE agents that everyone hates them, both big wins
look deleting the post is obviously stopping the actual ICE raids but every single bit of pushback matters bsky.app/profile/airb...
Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

Put pretty things in your feed.
Something you like.
Cats, cars, naked people, food porn, landscapes, birds.
Find folks who don’t talk about the state of the world (or who mix it up with other stuff).
Remind yourself that fun exists, that Joy persists.
You can’t fix everything.

Not trying to armchair diagnose or anything, but a whole lot of people who are constantly screaming at other people about Causes on social media exhibit A LOT of behaviors that would make me put them on moral injury burnout leave if they were T&S agents I was managing
I am frankly not much use to anyone - friends, family, anyone I might use what resources I have to help - if I am constantly living in a black hole of despair
and neither, I think, is anyone else

People say FIFA disgraced itself by having that little Trump ceremony. Habibi, it’s FIFA. People died building the Qatari stadium for the last World Cup and it held the World Cup in Russia before that.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

People shouldn't have to protect their neighbors from being disappeared off the streets by masked and unidentifiable thugs, but the thugs aren't gonna stop, so the fact *so many* people are putting their bodies in between the thugs and their neighbors, all over the country, is beautiful.
