SO I have had an uptick in followers on here, & I want to make a formal intro. So, hi! I am Calix/Callixta King. I'm an activist, poet, & artist from the Midwest. And on this acct we: Support BIPOC voices Are pro indigenous Reparations Honor queer lives Value immigrants And protect trans folk

Well. I didn't expect not being able to afford Josh Groban tickets would make me crash out like this. Being autistic with special interests sometimes ISNT fun actually. Especially when you can't afford to see the special interest you have had since 13.

If you are a parent with a child who goes to a school in the KC area, and you can keep your kids home today with this weather, do it. I am an educator who HAD to go in because my district didn't call for a snow day, and the roads are dangerous. It's not worth it.

How today's gonna shake out: buses are going to be super late, attendance is going to be low, and today will end up being a bit of a wash education wise. We aren't going to start on anything new with so many gone. So if you aren't sure about driving in this: then don't. Your safety matters more.

Also would like to state, donating a canned good was an admission option for our event tonight, and any paid admission is going to be donated to Harvesters, a food bank in KC. We will be donating 8 large boxes of food/hygiene products, as well $200. I love this community so much.

Hello everyone! To everyone in the #kansascity poetry scene, we have a great event coming up at Blip Roasterie. It's our Trans Day of Remembrance showcase, and food drive. It's this upcoming Wed and we would love to see you at this community event

Poetic Underground KC@poeticunderground.bsky.social

NEXT WEEK 11/19/2025 ✨ Join us for our annual Trans Day of Remembrance Poetry Showcase! Instead of our usual cover for the showcase, we are asking for donations of non-perishable food items to be donated to Harvesters. Held @bliproasters, this event begins at 7:30 pm!

#thebandghost fans, I know you wonder why I have not been on here as much. I am doing art leadership stuff outside of online and also... My hyper fixation took a dive into Fallout and Cooper Howard and Hancock are currently ruining my life. 😭 I promise, I will return but brain go brr with Ghoul

I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, if you voted Republican in the last major election, people not getting paid for the work they do is also your fault, and I hope you literally have the worst day.

These jokes make me so fucking sad, because it is a reminder that the younger generations really did get robbed of being in positions of power and change. It's so rare that we can comment on what a strange feeling this is. Next election cycle, let's make it less strange

In this turbulent time...this is HUGE. A bit of hope. Sparks in the night. Let this be the turning point. Let this be the turning point.

Michael Li (李之樸)@mcpli.bsky.social

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

Listen to me. LISTEN What if this is the turning point? What if this is the beginning of things being set right? Of a better tomorrow? Stay steadfast. If the elections are in our favor they will be contested. This shit admin will fight it. But that only means they are scared. And we are winning.

Hey. If Mamdani wins or Prop 50 passes, they're going to say there was "election fraud". Far Right Supporters will parrot the claims. Don't let them get away with it. Tell them their claims are nonsense. Laugh at them. Make them feel ridiculous for believing those lies. Because it is

Report these accounts and block them. This tanks their reach in the algorithm

Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social

If you’re seeing a surge of MAGA accounts commenting everywhere, take a closer look. Bot activity has spiked since Saturday evening the goal is to sway tomorrow’s elections. Click on their profiles and you’ll often find the same accounts posting identical comments across hundreds of posts.

Hey. Get out and vote. Look up what is on the ballot for your local area. Freedom and protection really does start with the smallest mandates. So get out and vote. Even if a new rep isn't up for election, this shit matters. Go vote.

David Byrne has always been a punk and a great ally. This is one of the reasons I love this man as an autistic icon

emily north@north0fnorth.tgirl.gay

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

Honestly these kids are braver than many of the adults. I will say this: I have always loved Gen z and Gen alpha, and it's because of stuff like this. They stand on business and protect each other. The older generation could stand to learn a thing or two from them

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

In the US, school children are distributing whistles and information on how to resist the Trump regime’s ICE ethnic cleansing operations.

Hi I would also like to mention the Three Meal Rule when it comes to unrest. This is the idea that it takes people missing three meals, and being hungry, to overthrow governments, participate in mass protests, and/or general strike. But if these evil fuckers want their own downfall, 'kay.

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

Btw. When someone in your life has been victimized in such an awful way, this is the energy you bring against the predator. This. This is a masterclass on standing up for those who have been silenced

Zohran Kwame Mamdani@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

So gang, I completed my first #fallout fic featuring The Ghoul! It was supposed to be a quick short story, and ended up being over 60 pages. 🫠 However, I hope y'all enjoy this spice with WAY too much plot. Honestly...jokes aside, I am pretty proud of it. archiveofourown.org/works/72936656

Also, my #thebandghost fic readers, if you're wondering where I went...I hopped hyper fixations for a minute. I'm sorry. But I WILL be updating my Ghost fics soon, and will be using National Writing Month as motivation to complete some projects, both Fallout and Ghost alike

Y'all. I am sorry I haven't been here a lot. Doing the work outside of here. Writing more. Checking in with community. I really want to dive back into stuff again for National Writing Month. Because while the org itself doesn't exist we don't need it to still pursue our lit endeavors

Actually you know what? Eff it. I am going to challenge myself to write 100K words in the span of that month. I think I can do it. I am working on a #fallout story thats all ready 40K words that I started the beginning of Oct. I think I could do it. Yay the power of autism

For the queer community in the KC area: Gaels, a gay bar, has decided to cut ties with the Drag Community and no longer do drag shows, even though that community gave them so much business and promoted them. Me and my own are choosing to boycott indefinitely, or until this decision changes.

So. I am seeing a lot of Swifties (some becoming former Swifties) crashing over the new album. Saying that it's "out of touch", "childish", and "I'm beginning to see who she is and I don't like it". These are all actual quotes. And all I have to really say as someone who NEVER liked her... 1/2

2/2 It sucks when your heroes that you admired let you down. It sucks when singers you genuinely think are good artists & people turn out to be...not that. I'm honestly sorry that some of you are losing a comfort singer/hero, because that is an awful goddamn feeling. Especially in times like these

So good news, it worked. BAD NEWS. The app makes my iPad crash, and the videos look like Garbage. I don't know WTF happened with this fucking app, but my captions and videos ratio is all wonky now. I might just upload everything to YouTube shorts at this point, because this app is garbage

Good news. A bit of light for victims. We needed this

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein. The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.
