Honestly, because of all the misinformation we see spreading every single day of the year, April Fools has lost all meaning.

For those considering a run for local office and (understandably) concerned with the threat of political violence, @runforsomething.net factors that into its spectrum of candidate support.

Also, it's super fucked up that THAT is an issue to run for school board.
Yes! This came up a ton (sadly) in the last few years. We worked with experts to put together a candidate safety guide that covers all kinds of security both online and IRL, and have been training folks on it. I wish there was more we could do, but it’s a start.

For most folks, democracy is local.

So get out and run for office.

The people are demanding change. Don’t just wonder when that change will happen.

Be that change.
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This subject is important to me because I know what it is like to be BROKE. Cosplay can be stupid expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. In general, the more complicated the build the more $. There are ways to cosplay on a budget and I am happy to share my tips! #cosplaymakers #cosplaybudget #cosplay

these are the worst people and deserve worse fates than can be comfortably imagined
so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.
the richest man in the world has decided that your kids don't deserve special education programs

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves.

For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender.

A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984.

Port: It's not just about kids, and it's not just libraries
Legislation under consideration in Bismarck wouldn't just restrict access to books in schools and libraries. The language of the bill also applies to private book stores.

Made the rookie mistake of wearing a ring while the barometric pressure was changing in Minnesota the last few days which caused flareups for me and had a VERY scary moment at work when it wouldn’t come off and was messing with my circulation. Had to do the thread trick to get it off.

My partner and I are doing haruka and michiru’s school outfits (sans blazer) for my valentines collab and I finished some pieces at work today. All that’s left is to sew up the skirt and style the wigs (light styling they’re pretty good already) We’ll hopefully be getting out for pics this weekend!

Kicking off #28DaysofBlackCosplay with a new starter pack - a growing list of Black Cosplayers to follow if you aren’t already.

Not everyone is here - so is you’d like to be added let me know.

And I will add a part 2 and more once I hit capacity.

Just to help some people stress less, Minnesota has a law on the books that, effective January 1, 2025, every health insurance plan has to cover gender affirming care even if the federal government doesn’t

Please wear a mask when you can. Even if you don't always, even if it's not the best mask, even if you didn't this morning and you'd feel silly if you did now... any amount of masking is better than none. Nobody is perfect, we're all doing our best, please mask and protect yourself and everyone ❤️
