So, for any cis people who have money, would like to say that if you feel lost about what to do regarding these trans EOs. Please direct yourself to my venmo (@ Zadja) or my cashapp ($ShomariK). Money is a great help in these trying times. 💗

To be frank about it, if the court does what the court will almost certainly do, there's probably no way to oust reactionaries from power without a struggle to restore voting rights that could last a generation and change. Just like last time around.

New York health officials have confirmed the first locally transmitted case of the chikungunya virus which causes high fever, joint pain and fatigue.

It’s usually a tropical virus, but there are now infected mosquitoes spreading in New York. (NYT)

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

BREAKING: Three Palestinians were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

I am a mom, literally down to $0.40. My hotel room is due Thursday, it’s $250 a week. I have $17 stuck in Playboy, won’t let me withdraw until $50. My son’s stroller broke (the wheels) & I’m just kind of at my wit’s end. Trying to get a head start.

We need to push for a federal ban on the use of tear gas on civilians and in civilian areas. It's unacceptable.

Just think about this, they dropped so much tear gas near the ICE center that a school had to close because it had become toxified by the residue and was unsafe for the kids.

Holy shit, and also, great blessings upon the family of the human recipient mentioned in the article for allowing their loved one with no remaining brain activity to be a test candidate to determine if their body would reject a treated kidney.

This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.

In the years between my higher ed job and Paizo, I was getting by as a freelancer, which is HARD. More than once mutual aid kept me housed and fed. Folks turned up for me when I needed it most.

Let's do the same for @oregonthedm.bsky.social ! Please boost and, if you have a bit to give, please do.

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

I need to figure out how to setup a throne or something. I'm realizing that that's become way more of a necessary purchase for me to like get a cane of some kind. Not even for the post-gastritis stuff. Just in general. And throne is easiest I guess for that.

Anyone have cane recs?

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

Might be too useful, but this is the like first thing that came to mind. Just throw so much money at building an infrastructure then making sure money doesnt go back to me at all. Wanna make it against the rules I make money whatsoever. Have it all go to the actual value makers (authors and editors)

I'm developing a massive publishing company that'll pay for an entire proper editorial pipeline (full livable wages, at-home optional for everyone), spend oodles on true marketing, and funnel all revenue into 100% royalties for authors. Also, have an attached author and editorial incubator.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
