"I hate Illinois Fascists."

#AntiFascistCats
A close up of a large long haired tortoise shell cat draped over a cat scratcher. She looks so relaxed as she is just poured over the scratcher but the look on her face is one of sheer annoyance with all things.

I know my neighbors give me side eye, but I love my messy, chaotic front yard. It's a Chicago front yard, so there is not much space. But I can sit on my porch and watch butterflies and listen to crickets. And this only requires the amount of upkeep my body is capable of. Also, my cats approve.
A messy hodge podge of wild flower bushes with white, pink, yellow and purple flowers. There is some catnip in the foreground. There are also a few weeds visible. In the far background, a black iron fense covered with vines can be seen. Checking out all of this is a long haired grey and white cat on a leash.

We are looking for other folks to collaborate with to expand our library and help us pass out zines in our community. Think farmers markets or festivals. Folks make a donation to mutual aid, they get a zine with actions and orgs they can connect to, plus they get a badge!
A zine on a conference table. The cover has a group of young people sitting around a fire telling stories. At the top is an angry penguin before a stack of books with the words Badges Against the Coup. The title of the Zone "This is a Coup" is in a speech bubble. Under the zine is a four buttons with the penguin logo and the words This is a Coup.

We started with topics we know really well. Abortion. Disability Justice. This is a Coup. We are looking for partnerships and opportunity for collaboration with others to expand our library, and that's what we are doing at @netrootsnation.bsky.social
Selfie of a white woman with long brown hair and hazel eyes in front of two banners. One has a logo with a pissed off Penguin standing in front of a stack of books. It reads "Stickers. Badges. Zines. Community. Badges Against the Coup". The other banner has a much larger logo and just says Badges Against the Coup.

Here at #NN25 and @netrootsnation.bsky.social with Badges Against the Coup and Campaign Disability. What is Badges Against the Coup?

We are a small collective in Chicago of nonprofit workers who wanted to find a way to cut through the medic static and get real information to folks.
Two banners hanging on a wall. One is portrait shaped and has a logo of a pissed off Penguin in front of a stack of books with "Badges Against the Coup. Stickers. Badges. Zines. Community.". The other is larger and landscape shaped and has the same logo with the words Badges Against the Coup.

We are tabling at #NN25 @netrootsnation.bsky.social with Badges Against the Coup and Campaign Disability. We have blank mini zines that folks can pick up and design through the convention.
Several sheets of paper folded to make a mini zine. On the top is one that reads "Make a Netroots Mini Zine." Under that is a few with the Badges Against the Coup logo: an angry penguin in front of some zines and our email: badges@thisisacoup.us

It's been a rough week but I took Madam Fluffybutt to the groomers to get a lions cut and I haven't stopped giggling all day.

Poor kitty!
A tortoise shell colored long haired cat is laying on a white fluffy blanket. She has just gotten a lions cut, so the long hair on her body has been shaved off, leaving a fluffy mane and paws and tail. Her front legs are out stretched and her head is resting between them. Her eyes are closed and she has a look like she is rethinking all of her life choices.

The news today is terrifying and I don't have money to donate to folks who need it so I am sharing this fun image of what happens when a beet seed gets mixed up with the salad greens.

Everything on this shelf came from the same packet of super green seeds. 😅 It makes me smile every time I walk by.
A hydroponics garden has a sea of greens. All different types of super greens all grown from the same packet of super green seeds. In the back right corner there is a big red beet and it's stalks that are giant compared to everything else.

Sometimes you just have to stick your head in the cat nip bush.
To the left is a big green cat nip bush. To the right is the back half of a large, brown and creamed colored cat. The front half of the cat is entirely in the bush. She's wearing a red harness outdoors.

Madam Fluffybutt is protecting the catnip bush.
A large calico long haired cat with a white mane is stilling right next to a small bush that is just starting to sprout green. A red leash trails behind her.

Madam Fluffybutt has real resting "we punch Nazis" energy.
A long haired cat is leaning up against a leg. She has a brown and orange face with white around her mouth and with a fluffy white main. She looks extremely annoyed in a regal cat sort of way.

The worst thought to have while lying in bed waiting for the pain to subside is "Maybe Danger Kitten needs another friend."

I do not need another cat.
Close up of a long haired grey cat with a white mane. She's outside for playtime and has the look of a very serious hunter staring intently out the fence.

It's only Tuesday.
Closeup of the front half of a cat. Her face is resting on one outstretched arm. She's long haired with brown, orange and cream coloring. The look on her face is a combination of annoyance and exhaustion.

I was gone for 20 minutes.
Two large long haired cats sitting on the top on the stairs. The one on the left grey and white, is more slender and looks very inquisitive. The one on the right is brown, orange and white, is fairly rotund, and just looks pissed.

Game night with Madam Fluffybutt
A large brown, cream, and orange long haired cat is sitting in the box of a board game. She is so fluffy she is spilling out of the box. On the table is a cookie she is very interested in.

I do not have cats that climb trees. My cats have never been interested in climbing anything. They are jumpers.

But I do wake up every morning to a tree skirt migration.
A large grey cat is sitting in the middle of a bed she has made out of a red tree skirt. The actual Christmas tree is nowhere to be seen.

Yep! It's a Bobs Red Mill gluten free pizza mix. I'm not the baker you are, but we did monster sugar cookies at Christmas and King Arthur 1:1 worked really well.

And by monster cookies I mean literal monsters. 😅
A collection of a dozen sugar cookies shaped as different monsters that are "painted" with frosting and decorated with eyes of different sizes.

This is Danger Kitty.

She loves being in her outdoor catico, eating freeze dried chicken hearts, and opening the garbage drawer at night.

She also loves abortions.
A large white, grey, and black long haired cat. She is laying down folded in half in a position that makes you wonder if cats have spines, with her front and back legs in front of her. Only the profile of her face is visible, making it look like she has a very knowing smile.

If someone donates to #SkyFundathon and then tags me with their awesome graphic, I will tell the story of where I got my "Mother of the Gwendal" tagline. Only @lizzidi.bsky.social on here knows this story.
On an orange background, there is a pink envelope that has been opened and a message is coming out that says "I funded abortion access and you can too!"

And look! If you donate, you can let people know and share the word! Let all of BlueSky know about #SkyFundathon and make this a thing.

I'm not sure how I am going to follow @carolynchernoff.bsky.social and @mminthecity.bsky.social but I am going to give it a shot.

Thanks for @prisonculture.bsky.social or organizing this and helping us make new connections on this here app.

Also, fund abortions. bit.ly/CostOfADrink
The background is a graphic of tape cassettes. In the center is the text: "NYE #SKYFundathon! We are virtually DJing for abortion funds." Under that, it continues "Listen & Donate the cost of a drink (or more!) in exchange for new music recs w/ a slice of storytelling!"

I will be participating in this from 1pm to 2pm ET, Noon to 1pm CT.

The music I have picked really tell the story of my thirty years of being disabled and organizing. Abortion access for everyone has always been part of that work.

I am constantly insulted on this platform.
A grey, white and black long haired cat laying on top of a cat tree. Her head is resting on her front paws and she has murder in her eyes.

I woke up this morning missing my cat who normally is curled up at my feet. Sure enough, I found them cats curled up under the tree.
The base of a unlit Christmas tree. On top of a red tree skirt are two round balls of fur, one grey and one brown. They are two cats curled up in a ball snoozing.
