as charming and whimsical as some will view this, it bears noting that absurdity—not militancy or might—are what people have chosen to repeat from the portland standoffs against ICE.

why is that?

what purpose does this serve?

a mini 🧵:
The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Worth it just for the comments.
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.
NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

I'm very afraid for my future as a person trying to be a novelist, specifically as a WOC who does not shy away from dealing with race in my work.

I am scared. I'm worried in this economy and political situation. Will publishing say no we'll just go with the comfy books that don't rock the boat?

I appreciate a Pope who knows his sports, 🤣
Someone in the crowd: “Go Cubs!”

Pope Leo XIV: “Han perdido! They lost!”
I dunno. I'd almost be tempted to friend her, just for story fodder.
Turtle Island is part of the creation story of many tribes, and Braiding Sweetgrass is only one of many works that discuss it. The Wikipedia article is a decent enough summary.
See how stupid & offensive that sounds when your own logic is turned around & used on you?

Either you are all illegal, or no one is. Either way, you lose, because you have to leave, or the people you hate get to stay.

Or else you could just cop to being a white supremacist. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Unless you're Indigenous to Turtle Island/were kidnapped & brought here, YOU are an illegal immigrant, b/c your forebears came here w/out permission & took what wasn't theirs. So miss me w/your anti-immigrant BS unless you're willing to back it up by self-deporting to wherever 23&me says you belong.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

Happy Indigenous People's Day!

We were "supposed to" disappear into the trash heap of history, yet we are still here, still in relation with our ancestors and our sacred lands and one another.

So the day that was meant to mark the beginning of our ending is now ours to do with as we wish.

In college, I wrote a 20-pg paper overnight on the philosophy of tech that determined my grade for the whole semester, based solely on the 1st 2 wks of class (stopped going after that) & skimming Walden. Got the highest grade the prof had ever given & he tried to get me to change majors.

Fuck AI.
I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
