A purple cat drawn in a cute "chibi" style with sparkly eyes is smiling and holding a spray paint can, the wall in front of it has a spotlight and red eyes peaking out around the edges of the spotlight. Text on the wall says "do good stuff
Don't get caught
Nobody needs to know it was you"

Ancestral remains should no longer be displayed in UK museums, say MPs Remains brought to Britain as part of colonialism, such as Egyptian mummies, should be repatriated, a report says

β€œPutting human remains on display is unethical, especially when no consent has been given,” she added. β€œI think removing the display of these items ultimately changes the culture, goes some way to look at them with some form of respect.”

'Revolutionary Letter #8' by Diane di Prima Everytime you pick the spot for a be-in a demonstration, a march, a rally, you are choosing the ground for a potential battle. You are still calling these shots. Pick your terrain with that in mind.…

shoving at the thing from all sides

Ea-nāṣir is the recipient of the world’s oldest complaint letter. He’s reportedly the worst businessman of the 18th century, a mediocre conman whose actions should have him put out of business. Is this fair?

Here’s a thread on the most up-to-date research on this captivating figure.

I can tell when I need new glasses based not on the blurriness of objects, but the frequency with which my eyes provide me jumpscares. 😰

A lot of AOCs appeal is simply the contrast of wondering why she (rightfully) gets pissed off about stuff but hardly any other elected official in the party does

a digital drawing in a medieval manuscript style of several medieval beasts carrying different pride flags. from left: an orange dog carrying the progress pride flag, a rainbow dragon carrying the lesbian flag, a frog carrying the trans flag, a cat with a bi flag cape playing the lute and holding a bi flag, a mole holding the nonbinary flag, a pink and purple dog-like beast carrying the intersex flag, a blue and rainbow snail-dog beast carrying the asexual flag, a purple cat carrying the pan flag, and a bat with rainbow wings carrying the rainbow flag. there’s a thin rainbow border around the edges of the drawing, and the background is parchment.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

over the summer I embroidered this giant tapestry about mill towns and textile strikes. now I’m working on another one about streetcar drivers and their militant labor struggle in the early 20th century!

hi to my former bird app pals!! I impulsively deleted that app off my phone in mid-2023, when the icon was changed. But I never got around to moving to my account here properly.

TΔ“nei te tangata It's the haka heard around the world but why does it resonate so much with people outside of Aotearoa New Zealand?

I want you all to know that I valiantly ignored vacuuming to write this piece about yesterday's haka, haka in general, and why I think it resonates so far. #kikorangi

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.
