So.
You don't know what to do. You are scared, angry, and you can't believe this is happening. You can't believe it might happen to you, to your community.
What do you do now?

I ask you.
If you can take the risk. If you can make it happen. Support Minnesota on Jan 23rd.
Keep your kids home from school. Take a sick day. Do not buy anything, do not go anywhere, do not participate in capitalism either as a worker or a consumer.
The people united can never be defeated.

"well this can't possibly go on," I say once an hour, every day, until my mind is ground to dust
I confess it is very difficult to shake a “well this can’t possibly escalate further” sort of thing from my head. Genuinely hard to parse an ongoing violent occupation of an American city by the unhinged racist government.

Hey everyone,
We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history.
Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

the worst part about having several social media profiles is that sometimes I see a post and think to myself oh I should come back to this. and then I never remember which profile I saw it on. 🥲

My assignment for Winona Nelson's SmArtschool class: Choose a favorite book and illustrate a cover for it.
I picked "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, and my goal was to capture a similar bittersweet tone as the novel has.

In order to distract my brain from the anxiety of The Dentist this week, I'm downloading Love and Deepspace. Which might be a huge mistake but probably a very successful distraction!

We are all in a state of constant panic and terror. It’s important to take a second when you see something online that triggers you to ask yourself “am it really triggered or am I just experiencing nonstop psychic damage from the world and my brain sees this as an outlet for my fear and rage.”

We only have about a week before most legislators go out for a holiday recess, so i recommend giving your reps a call to oppose bad internet bills!
I've included a script i adapted from one initially written by FFtF

![Hi there, My name is (your name) and I am calling to oppose multiple harmful internet bills that are moving through Congress right now. I oppose all bills that mandate online ID checks, infringe upon our constitutional right to free speech on the internet, enable government policing of online resources, and threaten end-to-end encryption. If you truly care about young people’s experience on the internet, you should pass comprehensive data privacy legislation and oppose any bill that forces Internet users to submit to ID checks or would censor the internet, like the SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and KOSA
additionally, I want to advocate for section 230, which I have seen multiple legislators call for repealing. Section 230 is integral to a free and open internet, and repealing it would destroy the internet as we know it and countless livelihoods. I do not want to see section 230 repealed, I want to see it protected.
[optional]
here is a list of bills that i believe must be opposed due to either increasing censorship, or surveillance:
The Kids Online Safety Act
SCREEN Act
App Store Accountability Act
Stop CSAM act of 2025
Sammy's law
RESET Act
GAMING Act
Safe Messaging for Kids Act
Parents Over Platforms Act](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xawhcpoqu6pdxpp72fd43wuf/bafkreic3czewlpy3x4hv3egoajd2mrknydxc6ecu42ionk5ur4ilowi2uy@jpeg)
