is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

are you an ex-mennonite witch? are you part of the missing witches coven? do you WANT to be? i've recently discovered that most 'ethnically mennonite' people in germany/russia/canada/south america were actively nazis.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

when i was a kid, my family would have pillow fights, and for some reason when we swung a pillow at someone, we would yell 'yang!' and it came to mean bonking someone. so! if yeet is 'throw' and yoink is 'take', then yang is in the same word-family... #yeet #yoink #yang

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check. What I’m saying is we can go harder.

it's what white people were scared of when slavery was abolished, it's what men were scared of when women got the vote, it's what straight people were scared of when queer people were 'granted' rights. RIGHTS ARE NOT PIE. there are enough human rights for EVERYONE, they don't deplete with use. 4/5

the cover of 'hands of light: a guide to healing through the human energy field' by barbara ann brennan. it is blue, with a pair of blue, partially cupped raised hands full of white light painted on it. the text is all in white.

the cover of 'finding the fool: a tarot journey to radical transformation' by meg jones wall (3am tarot). it has a dark blue and purple galaxy-swirl background with the phases of the moon painted across the cover. the initial text is black, with the tagline and author's name in white.

the cover of 'the only astrology book you'll ever need' by joanna martine woolfolk. it has a yellow background with a stylized circular map of the zodiac split in half and oriented to the top and bottom of the page. each zodiac creature is painted semi-realistically on the map halves. the text starts in dark rust, transitions to lighter rust and back to dark, with the author's name in olive green.
