a little while ago I helped a friend from Uganda fundraise for some queer refugees who were trying to flee homophonic violence for a safer place to stay. they've made it to South Sudan but they're still in need of funds... I'd love it if you all could spread this link around 💖 gofund.me/1bebb5d7c

She is one of our true elders and there are so few left. She deserves the best healthcare available, but this is America.

the days loom long behind you. 4 colors (yellow, mint, bright olive green, copper). september's monthly print - more info @ patreon.com/formyths #riso

a riso print: a towering cloud in an ochre yellow sky, grasslands stretching below. an inset panel: a rabbit leaping through grass, in front of a smaller version of the cloud. another panel within: an oval divided into 12 sections like a clock.

My job lets us submit ideas for beer names. I can't believe this one got picked. As a huge FaTT fan I'm ecstatic, but also can't help but laugh at the idea of a beer named after a fictional rebellion.

And last (but not least) for today - that time I flew to Indianapolis with 4 dozen Mini Throndir Banana Breads in my carryon to hand out at the #FriendsattheTable live show GenCon meet up (2019 was a wild time) #FatTRewind #FriendsAtTheTable

That the museum was pushed into retracting the post because some people thought it meant that Gazans shouldn't be subject to horror is a horror.

Never Again means Never Again for anyone.

For the Jews.
For the Palestinians.
For the Sudanese.
For anyone.

Collective safety keeps us safe.

The Los Angeles Holocaust Museum made a social media post with a graphic reading: "'Never again' can't only mean never again for Jews."

After a backlash from some voices online, they retracted the post and apologized.

Circle of hands with the text: "'Never again' can't only mean never again for Jews."

Traditional art done in marker and colored pencil. The picture is bright and colorful. It shows an orange striped cat climbing a branch of a tangerine tree, sniffing the tangerines growing on it. The picture has checker-flower patterns framing it on the top and bottom.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.
