Consider a programmer looking at code they themselves wrote a year ago, now having to identify and fix a bug. They have to rebuild the mental model of what is going on, which is easier if they have already had a mental model of what is going on.

This is at $1575/2100!

$525 left to pay a 3rd rent tonight.

Do 21 more people have $25? Do 10.5 people have $50?

Please pray for Maisy. We'll see if she's elligible for her biopsy today. If not, just pray to keep her strong through travel today.

Any help would be appreciated.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

A loggerhead shrike, with its head turned to our left and wings open to each side, carries a blue ribbon in its beak. The shrike also holds a spear with its feet, the point of the spear on our right has torn through a bag of coins to let them spill out (representing putting and end to greed). Nightshade is held with the spear in the bird's foot on our left. The shrike has an orange halo with a star motif in it, and yellow flames behind that. Surrounding the bird is a wreath of olive leaves, representing resilience. The ribbon held in the birds beak has text reading "resistere pro multis," a Latin version of the large text surrounding the olive wreath. The large text reads: Resist, in defense of the many.
We chose a loggerhead shrike because while they are small songbirds, they use spikes, thorns, barbed wire etc. to help them prey on creatures as large as mice. They are resourceful, whimsical, and fierce.Β

infographic:
"whoa there, pardner!"
a fake bluesky DM i sent myself as an example says: "hi can u please not repost your own art so much. it's literally murder and oppression and hate crime that sometimes i have to scroll past things i've already seen". a displeased cowboy emoji is giving this message a thumbs down.
infographic info continues:
'round these parts we curate our own timelines! if you don't want to see a post again, open the meatball menu and click "hide post for me." now you don't have to see it and no one has to feel bad!"
(the cowboy emoji is now giving you a thumbs up. off to the side, there's a screenshot of the aforementioned menu with the relevant buttons circled in blue.)

this hasn't personally happened to me, but i've seen other artists here talking about it intermittently. so here's an infographic about a handy feature i think a lot of people are overlooking! #artsky #artistsonbsky

If you have not read Persepolis you should, it is an extremely powerful graphic novel thats available for free on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/pers... Though I would also highly reccomend supporting Marjane directly and purchasing it as well.

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

Mmmm yummy matcha. I picked up an immersion blender from the thrift store so I can attempt making cold cream foam and dupe SB's lavender matcha at home.

For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to β€œstop being so dramatic.”

Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us.

Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?

How to Support Trans People in All 50 States A curated list of 100 organizations supporting trans rights and livelihood to which you can donate.

as long as folks are enthusiastically donating to state level trans orgs today, figured I'd reup this list the @them.us team and I put together a few years back: www.them.us/story/orgs-f...

(some info may be outdated, but use this as a jumping-off point!)

A 5 panel comic, read left to right

P1. A fox person putting on round shades

P2. We see them adjusting their leather jacket

P3. They're putting on gloves 

P4. They're jumping through the open window to a vehicle

P5.  A tiny car put put put down the road in a cul-de-sac. And I forgot how to spell putt but I like it like this as a shorter sound

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

DHS successfullyβ€”until nowβ€”covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.
