  The Senate confirmed the president's personal attorney to run a hundred-thousand-person Justice Department at 4:34 in the morning. Fifty to forty-nine. On a Saturday. And then adjourned for five weeks. Nobody schedules a proud moment for four in the goddamn morning. You schedule a colonoscopy for four in the morning. The hour is the confession. Cornyn folded. Tillis folded. 1/4

  Forty percent protein by dry weight. That's among the highest of any plant food there is, and it costs less than a cup of coffee. Lupini fed Mediterranean and Andean households for thousands of years before an American grocery store decided they were a novelty in a jar by the olives. #FoodAsMedicine #Lupini #Legumes #PlantProtein #Cooking #Foodstodon #Nutrition #FoodSovereignty #Frugal #MutualAid #Mediterranean 1/3

  Midnight on Truth Social, the President did two incompatible things in one breath and noticed neither. He said the leakers of these treasonous statements are being hunted down and long-term jail sentences will be sought. He also insists the reports are false. You cannot hunt the leakers of a thing that never happened, and there is no crime in disclosing fiction. #Politics #Democracy #News #Journalism #PressFreedom #Whistleblowers #Pentagon #Accountability #Resist #USPolitics #Military 1/4

  A fearless breakdown of trans violence and police corruption, Trump's leak hunts, Japanese urbanism, wild raisin tea, and the survival tactics that ground us when fury and injustice demand our attention. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-like-oj-simpson-trump-is-going-to-find-the-real-leakers?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Wendy

  Keep a lidded jar in the freezer. Every heel, every stale half-loaf, every forgotten hamburger bun goes in, torn rough by hand. When it's full: toast the pieces in a dry skillet with olive oil, a smashed garlic clove, salt, until they're brown and loud. That's pangrattato — the poor kitchen's parmesan, and it costs nothing because you already bought it once. A household throws out something like a third of its bread. https://twp.ai/4huPgt 1/3

  A basketball coach with a roster, a front office, and a job to protect walked into the loudest night of the WNBA's season wearing four words: Trans Kids Belong. Then she stood in a hallway and told reporters flat that the innuendo about trans women being predators is simply not what is happening. She named the framing itself as the problem. #TransRights #TransKids #QueerNews #LGBTQ #Pride #WNBA #Solidarity #Community #Journalism #Resist 1/2

  Stormé DeLarverie fought the police outside the Stonewall Inn. Casa Susanna opened in the Catskills so trans women could live openly for a weekend. Vito Russo counted a century of erased queer film and published the count. Every one of them was told they were the wrong person, in the wrong room, at the wrong moment. Every one of them stayed in the room. #QueerHistory #LGBTQHistory #TransHistory #Stonewall #QueerNews #Pride #Folklore #Community #Solidarity #Journalism 1/2

  Today, I am just tired. the #transit ride to work was a shit ton of #transphobia and #tslurs and #gayslurs , and when I got to work, I had found that my engineers had done some stupid shit. So today, I just cant. You know. Some days you can, but today is not one of them for me.

  Fosgail an geata. Fàg fosgailte e. Open the gate. Leave it open. That's the whole instruction. It has one moving part. You either move it or you don't, and everything else I wrote this morning is me trying to say that in Gaelic and failing at a decent length. What's the smallest gate you could unbolt today? #Gàidhlig #MastoDaoine #ScottishGaelic #Gaelic #Language #Folklore #Druid #Celtic #Blessing #Community #Solidarity #QueerNews 1/2

  No billionaire upstairs deciding which of you counts as a demographic. No data broker rifling your grief for resale. No ghoul in a quarter-zip optimizing my sentences for engagement. Just readers who pay. That's the whole damn machine — and it means the only thing I have to be loyal to is whether the number checks out. Two years of this. Written by a blood, sweat, and my own goddamned hands. #Solidarity #MutualAid #SmallWeb #AmWriting #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest 1/2

  A conference room of men who spent ten years insisting the fever would break on its own, now refreshing North Carolina polling and learning that it did not. Here's a sitting Republican senator, on the record, asking the president to please stop blaming Senate Republicans for Senate Republicans: everybody has to be in it together, you can't just point fingers. https://twp.ai/4huUT4 1/3
