What Philadelphia Can Learn From Minneapolis’s ICE Resistance
“The main thing here is that we are just relentless in supporting our neighbors,” one Minneapolis resident said. “That's it. We don’t care where they came from originally.”

After Linda Kauss was bitten by a rabid animal on her daily walk, she needed 3 blood transfusions, multiple surgeries and anti-rabies shots in 7 of her 16 wounds. “It was just horrible," she said. "It was so painful. Even thinking about it now, it’s upsetting.”

Trump bought over $1 million in SpaceX debt days before unveiling space policy
The purchase, revealed in his latest financial disclosure, involved a firm directly affected by his administration’s actions — and led by presidential ally Elon Musk.

white evangelical Republicans whose experience of Catholicism is limited to people like JD Vance assumed that their allies on abortion would be their allies on everything and miscalculated so badly here. even the most conservative US bishops cannot function without their immigrant parishioners!

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

The stories themselves will not result in systemic change. The stories may be the driver to be part of a mass mobilization of millions of people rising up also against ICE also against the desecration of voting rights also against many other harms in a sustained movement towards something big

NEW: The feds have filed their update in one of the multiple ongoing lawsuits seeking to restrict mifepristone, this one out of Louisiana. It says the FDA plans to complete its “review” of mifepristone’s safety by December, and release a report by March. Notably—after the midterm elections.

My Judaica publisher told me rabbis keep filling his Talmud margins so I asked how many margins he has and he said he just goes to print and adds wider margins afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding whitespace to rabbis and then his printer started crying.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

Children from marginalized groups desperately need mirrors. However, I think what black children saw was a rise of "fun house" mirror lit where what was reflected was their image in a white author's lens.

Queers raised on tumblr and early queer theory genuinely think masculinity/men are the pathway to enlightenment when that couldn't be farther from the truth. No, it's not enlightened or interesting for someone to call herself a lesbian while seeking out sex with men. That's just lesbophobia.

Finally illustrated this idea like I’ve wanted to do since I posted this three years ago!! 🌿🖤
A woman who is covered in a splotchy nebula texture of blue, green, purple, and pink. She is leaning forward with her hands behind her slightly arched back. In her hands are a lulav (long rod made of three different tree branches), and an etrog (a fruit with an elongated and bumpy lemon shape/color). 

Her leg is signed “M.Nutz”

Surrounding her in bold black handwriting is the quote: “Joy is a deep release of the soul, and it includes death and pain. Joy is any feeling fully felt, any experience we give our whole being to. We are conditioned to choose pleasure and to reject pain, but the truth is, any moment of our life fully inhabited…any immersion in the full depth of life, can be the source of deep joy.” — Rabbi Alan Lew
