Think #MeToo didn’t make a real difference? Think again
It takes effort to track the impacts of mass mobilizations like #MeToo, but understanding social change is impossible without such work.

This is how you do it.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NYU Faculty Take Classes Off Campus to Protest Lack of Protections for International Students NEW YORK, April 17, 2025 - More than fifty NYU faculty members have taken their classes off campus starting today, and continuing for the next week, to protest the University's lack of commitment to protect international students in the face of the Trump administration's attacks. Some faculty have moved their classes to in-person locations that have been declared sanctuary spaces, where international students are assured that building administrators will do everything in their power to refuse to cooperate with ICE agents. Other faculty have moved their classes online so that students can attend from a safe location of their choosing.

The resistance is alive and well and diversifying, becoming ever more difficult to police. Yay! @spooklee.bsky.social

Resistance is alive and well in the United States
Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches in 2017, but they're far more numerous and frequent — and also becoming more strategic.

Found this image on reddit and did some googling.
This is a sea toad, and lives on an underwater mountain off the Chilean coast. Smithsonian has an article on the scientific project that found this cute strange creature. "Jailbreak" link: archive.ph/tnVkE

Clothing Recycling Is Taking a Giant Leap Forward
As fast fashion drives textile waste to stratospheric highs, new methods are turning mountains of old clothes into rack-ready garments.

Someone's selling (2nd hand, on vinted) one of my old design thylacines! I thought y'all would like to know because I don't make these ones anymore, so here's your chance to nab one:

If just 402,000+ people stop shopping Target for 90 days, sales will decline 5-7% and drop the stock price by nearly 20%. Target would lose $12.2 billion in valuation. There are 41.5M Black people in the US. #BoycottTarget #BlackCashflowRevolt

Republicans’ budget is out, and guess how they’re planning to pay for those massive tax breaks for their billionaire buddies: by slashing Medicaid funding, stripping health care from millions of Americans. This is downright inhumane, and I will keep fighting to stop them.

It's 200 years to the day since Iguanodon was named... It looks very fed up with everything right now. If you want to give Iggy a home they're over on my website-
