This is right wing media in a nutshell. Fear sells, especially to ignorant white people. May I live to see the day Fox News goes down in flames.

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

I’m just gonna say it — dumpster diving is solarpunk 🤷♀️🫣☀️🌱 Also, the amount of quality wood construction sites throw out is insane (not speaking from experience or anything…) #solarpunk #recycling #upcycling

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

The Void of Comp-Het and the Magic of Sapphic Connection
On the evening of January 22nd, 2025, I sat in front of the fireplace as my two year old slept upstairs and told my then-husband, “I’m sorry… I think I’m a lesbian.” It’s a year later now, and I’ve mo...

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will
/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.

Avelo Airlines thought it could profit off Trump’s terror tactics by running secretive deportation flights.
But you grounded “ICE Air” and showed that organizing still works.
