I’m so sorry, I just saw this. It’s a grab bag so you can flee if you need to. Cash is untraceable, documents so you can cross a border if you need to, camping stuff if you need to go off grid.

Sincerely, thank you. The Trump administration is trying to bring back chattel slavery, and if the rest of the world stops doing business with us, it will throw a wrench in their plans. Thank you for boycotting. 🙏🏼

Today, I stood with @lettercarriers.bsky.social Branch 283 and other postal unions to fight against USPS privatization. The USPS is vital to our communities—delivering medications, mail, and more, no matter where you live. We must protect it! #FightLikeHell #HellNo

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

and have a grab bag with clothes, small bills, electronics, power banks, etc. If you have camping gear, have that together and ready to go. This is serious, friends! Please have a plan in place. Until then, make friends, form community, call your representatives, protest peacefully, 3/n

Stay safe, but DO NOT GO QUIETLY!!! Now more than ever we have to be loud with our voices, with our money, with our actions! However, this threat is real, and it is so important to have a contingency plan in place. Make sure you have all your documents together, have emergency supplies ready, 2/n

To the deconstructing X-tian: You can make the Bible say almost anything you want, but there are irrefutable truths… • Jesus is not a Christian Nationalist. • Jesus is anti-establishment. • Jesus is the leader of the poor, trying to make the world a better place, and saving humanity from itself.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Let’s be clear. Privatization of the post office will mean some addresses simply will not be covered because they are unprofitable. Think of it like our private healthcare system.

It’s okay for the US, with vast resources, to pay for a very cost effective program that helps kids in every income bracket be ready to learn in school. It helps even the playing field for kids. Right now all of PBS is 15% federal funds, the rest is from donations.

“I Know You” Sloth and Wrath, 7 Deadly Sins

Depiction of Sloth and Wrath, from the 7 Deadly Sins, acting unbothered by their respective hell fates of snake bites and dismemberment. Diptych, pencil drawing on 11.5 by 14” heavyweight paper.
Right drawing foreground:
Sloth, a bare woman with snakes wrapped around and biting her feet, lies on a giant snake’s head and gazes down at Wrath. Wrath, a bare man missing his right arm and holding a dagger in his left, sits on the ground and leans against the snake as he gazes up at Sloth. They don’t seem surprised to see one another here. The back half of a bear can be seen behind the giant snake’s head. The giant snake’s body winds back into the distance and to the left, crossing into the other drawing.
Right midground:
On the left, a male Wrath, missing his bottom half, drags himself toward the foreground. On the right, a bear roars at a woman while she holds a sword up between them. To their right there is a group of Sloths(male and female) dancing in a circle to avoid snake bites. One woman in the circle does not dance and watches the others, hand on hip.
Right background:
Large pile of dismembered bodies with people wandering or dragging themselves away from it.
Left drawing foreground:
A male Wrath leans against the giant snake’s coils as his leg is ripped off by a bear. He looks annoyed. The bear’s body goes off the page to the right— continues on the right drawing.
Left mid-ground:
A pair of Sloths hold hands as they hold their feet up and away from snake strikes. There are some dismembered legs and bones to the left. On the right, a bare female Wrath lies legs spread on the giant snake’s back. Her arm is being ripped off by a bear that stands on its back legs next to the snake.
Left background:
Another massive snake looks down over the coils over the first giant snake at a pair lying in a field. On points up at the snake as the other lounges, unbothered. On the right, a female Sloth is bent over looking at us from between her legs. She’s surrounded by snakes.

Sometimes self-care looks like asking for help.🗣️ ✨WIP art for tax✨ …I’d fallen behind on work—to the point where I was hiding, bc it was all Just Too Much. Last night, I talked to a friend about it, and suddenly life feels doable again. …All that to say—ask for help when you need it💕you are loved!

Inspired by Sloth and Wrath from the 7 Deadly Sins. This is a work in progress of a renaissance-style pencil drawing of a hellscape. There are 2 pieces of paper. The fore paper has a man missing one leg leaning against a massive snake and looking back over his shoulder with a bored expression. The back paper has a woman lying on the same massive snake’s head with smaller snakes wrapped around her ankles and biting her feet. She is looking down at a man missing an arm. There is also a ribcage, a disembodied arm, and a pile of bodies. The man and woman are looking at each other with neutral expressions.
