Join us next weekend to celebrate our newest local icon Jimothy as we present a proclamation in his honor to commemorate Jimothy Summer. We invite all local artists to bring their Jimothy-themed art for a friendly art competition. Long live, Jimothy!

Amateur (ham) radio is for everyone. There are already plenty of us here. But every queer and trans person should learn how to use ham radio and be anle to get on the air.

The PNW is the best place to be a ham radio nerd. Super inclusive and diverse community... so many queers and trans folk too. I probably would never have gotten back into the hobby if i weren't in the PNW.

Dearest Clara, the grinding pace of this hellish conflict proceeds. It is too much to bear somedays. This morning, our engineers and painters strategically re-channelized the roadway down from 4 to 2 lanes before the drivers were able to respond. We emerged victorious from 52nd to 55th Streets...

Volodymyr Zelenskyy about talks with russia. And I absolutely love it: The russians behaved a little more calmly, although still arrogantly. Perhaps a few more measures are needed, and they will try to behave like human beings.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

One of the ways we "exported freedom" to the world was having foreign students have a taste of ours then take that back with them to their countries. Now the clown car regime is doing away with that.

One thing to remember about some of the Big Accounts here is that their political doomposting usually has one of two sources: 1) Trying to sell you something/farm clicks. 2) Using posting as a substitute for therapy. You can sympathise with them or look away, but don't take them at face value.

POLITICO competitor NOTUS posted a story this morning suggesting Rep. Sarah McBride is giving Democrats cover to retreat on trans rights. The piece sparked backlash at McBride. But NOTUS has since rewritten it multiple times, changing the takeaway without issuing a correction.

A screenshot of a NOTUS news article titled “Inside Democrats’ Reshuffling on Trans Issues.” The subheadline reads:
“Democrats are talking about how to handle transgender rights politically, after infighting and flailing over the issue in the last year. ‘We have to create more space in our tent,’ said Rep. Sarah McBride.”
Below the text is a photo of Rep. Sarah McBride speaking at a podium, wearing a bright yellow blazer and glasses, flanked by several women and American flags. The photo is credited to Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP.
At the bottom, the byline reads “By Oriana González” and the timestamps show the article was originally published on March 21, 2025 at 5:19 AM and updated at 2:48 PM.

A side-by-side visual showing three edited versions of a quote from Rep. Sarah McBride, with timestamps and colored boxes:

🔴 Original (5:19 AM): McBride cautions “Democrats” about the tone of comments “on either supporting trans rights or questioning them.”
🟡 Updated (1:35 PM): McBride still cautions “Democrats,” but the quote now refers to comments “particularly on either supporting and questioning trans athletes in sports, which is where most of the debate has focused.”
🟢 Updated (2:48 PM): The subject changes to “moderate Democrats,” and the phrase is narrowed to “particularly on questioning trans athletes in sports, which is where most of the debate has focused.”
Each block includes a full paragraph quote with bolded changes.

Truth. We have to step outside our bubbles and engage *those who operate in good faith*. It's tiring cuz it's harder to build than destroy. But no act is too small; it all builds upward. Call in, challenge, listen, assert. Don't forget to hydrate.

Much of "resistance" is also getting off, or on, the keyboard and connecting to some [not all] people you might have written off. Don't believe social media bubbles; the Movable Middle is bigger than you think, and remarkably movable. Move that middle toward you. That is "The Work".

Amy Dobrowolsky @spuriosa.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

Much, if not most, of "resistance" is behind the scenes, boring, unsexy, dry, often procedural stuff. It's ok to want, and necessary to do, spectacle of resistance. But realize most of the effective stuff isn't in spectacle and is often under the radar. Many are doing that thankless labor.

God, fuckin' *this*. Dems did the most progressive economic policy since FDR and they couldn't even run on "we came out of COVID the strongest of any country and even started tackling income inequality". Every time they did, progressives *and* right-wingers freaked out and called them liars.

The accounts that injected inflation and Gaza into the discourse are now silent. They’ve been replaced with a new influence campaign to divide opposition by attacking Democrats for “not doing enough.” Don’t be a useful idiot. Don’t fall for it!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
