This computer thinks I’m voting in Baton Rouge?

A walkout by IFPTE Local 21, the city’s second-biggest union, would be the first strike in nearly a decade.

Why are people so afraid of taxes?

BREAKING: Today, Oakland city workers in Local 21 announced a one-day Unfair Labor Practice strike scheduled for Thursday, 11/5. This the last chance for the City Administration to avoid a strike. We're demanding better staffing, AI guardrails, and an end to wasteful spending on private contractors.

people don't want to hear it, but schumer's refusal to defend ilhan omar helps enable the open bigotry we are hearing from rfk jr

Today: We’ve got @mingemi.bsky.social comin in hot with her take on the WNBA Finals Game 6 timing debacle. Why is this happening? “So men aren’t inconvenienced.” www.coyotemedia.org/valkyries-fi...

Bringing this to the picket line tomorrow

What are we feeling? I DUNNO! How much are we feeling it? A LOT!

Top surgery is literally a dream come true for me, but the cost associated with it isn't. I've had a shit year work-wise, and could really use some help making sure I can afford existing while I recover. Any amount or share is so appreciated. gofund.me/7ade47c85

The blood of dead trans children stains the hands of every cis person.

A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost

Today's quick update [Oct 26]: - On the first anniversary of the Elfashir Massacre, RSF drone strikes targeting 4 power stations, causing widespread outages across Sennar, Jezira, Gedarif & White Nile states. - SAF drone strikes in Nyala, South Darfur. #KeepEyesOnSudan

No one needs to tell me how good these teams are defensively, but the last 10 minutes of basketball sure do feel like a great argument for not playing 5 Finals games in a 10-day span. Both teams look like they’re running on fumes.

This Valkyries watch party is just two kids and their parents. Love to see it!

guys guys guys guys guys Zendaya is here

- Sometimes noises don't bother, like when I was printing hundreds of union flyers for organizing last week. - Other times they make my brain go into kill-mode, like when someone else is printing and unknown number of papers for an unknown reason this morning. Activate Noise-canceling headphones!

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

In this house November and December are Period Drama season. Kicking this one off by reading Sense and Sensibility in advance of the new adaptation.

Is there a good translation of Benjamin of Tudela? Which one should I use for teaching?

Finally started @vickyacab.bsky.social’s book about Disney and copyright law and am learning a lot, thanks to all the teachers

Watching my shows, reading my lil books, snug as a bug, wiggling my toes, you better miss me with any bad vibes!

what if i started posing for photos with my family’s clean folded laundry the way people pose when they catch a really big fish

How about the irony of a story I wrote for @coyotemedia.org — with my own two hands!! — getting scraped by AI and vomited up on Hoodline, the now zombified neighborhood news site where I had my first journalism job (it was real in 2014). And no, the journalist here, “Eileen Vargas” does not exist 🤖

The state of my T-shirts in case you’re wondering: - 2 Palestine shirts - 2 Sudan shirts - 4 Valkyries shirts - 4 Union shirts

The part in Roundabout right before the huge organ solo. "TWENTY-FOUR BEFORE MY LOVE AND I'LL BE THEEEEEERRRRRRRRREEEEEE......."

Darlings. When a disabled person in the United States posts that a place is inaccessible to them, stop telling them to report it. That is not a thing. The ADA is a law, not a service. All it does is ensure we can sue. It doesn’t mean we’ll win. In fact, these suits drag on for years.

What'd you do that for

Not really enjoying this

The tech industry is so fundamentally anti-elder. I don't care about these fantasy dreams about AI apocalypse when any rat bastard with access to cheap fakes can defraud my neighbors.

Goal met!

I want to scream. I have a medical appointment an hour away from my house … my ride just canceled because she’s sick. It’s an $80 round trip situation.
