Check out this great chance to be in community and make some music on Sunday! #Trenton
Too many to choose from (we're in our 33rd year!), so not sure if this qualifies as THE fave, but it's certainly A fave... just hanging out in a few autumns ago.
Who's in the mood for some awesome #trans #creativity on Sunday? Moorestown is close to a lot of #PHL & #NJ folks... please help ensure that the folks who are supposed to see this DO see it!
Hightstown, NJ Biggest gathering yet, despite starting temps in the 30's. Kids' table, fundraising bake sale for the people of Cuba, sidewalk chalk, wall-to-wall homemade signs, lots of solidarity honks and thumbs-up from the cars going by. Plus me and my sistie leading the singing! NoKings#
milestone birthday — I give my Bitmoji bushier eyebrows Friends, today is my #haikuversary! Wanna help me celebrate? Lots of ways to play here: butwait.blogspot.com/2026/03/mile...
Up & @ 'em, Skeeple! Today is my haikuversary! More about that later, but in the meantime, the friends involved in pulling this Quaker Trans Day of Visibility together have already given my timeline a boost today: For more information and to register, see qtdov.com 1/3
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
Friends, I just found out there's a FREE performance of Sarah Ruhl's #ORLANDO next weekend at Swarthmore College in Philly. What a great opportunity to simultaneously treat yourself to a night out and an interrogation of the binary! Deets here: swatcentral.swarthmore.edu?trumbaEmbed=...
Post a tree you photographed. (Add some alt text, too!) A fun back story on this particular tree is here: butwait.blogspot.com/2010/05/home...
Call your reps (202-224-3122) and tell them NOT to support the so-called SAVE Act... it's voter suppression, plain and simple.
Up & @ 'em, Skeeple! It should be a gorgeous snow day in central NJ today. Instead, a mom reports that 6 🧊 vehicles were creeping down a street in Cranbury surveilling the folks shoveling sidewalks. If you are not able to serve as a rapid responder, do you know who to call to report 🧊? PLS SHARE
🔥 “I don’t want my taxes paying for ICE—masked thugs roaming our streets, terrorizing communities, ripping families apart.” Dave Matthews calls out the Trump administration’s crackdown & foreign ops, reminding us that peaceful resistance is patriotic. #ChoosePeaceNotChaos
Also? Happy weekend from my favorite dino, who I got a nice long look at during my run this am.
Forever grateful to @nicothepoet.bsky.social for this amazing poem... #TDoR
Alice Wong was a goddamn treasure. #DisabilityVisabilty and @sfdirewolf.bsky.social's ongoing advocacy changed my life, and I know I'm in good company.
@sarasheridan.bsky.social Friendly greetings... a copy of your excellent book is on track to be added to my beloved @princetonpl.bsky.social's collection!
Republicans and their billionaire donors thought they could buy the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Pennsylvanians made it clear: Their state is not for sale! I have family members living in PA, so this victory is feeling a little extra sweet...
It’s Election Day, and your voice matters! 🗳️💪 Remember: voters have rights — no one can stop you from casting your ballot. Save this post for when you head to the polls and share it to spread the word. Democracy is strongest when we all show up. 🔁🗣️ #VoteDemToday
Prop 50 is how Californians take back their voice. It stops partisan games that let politicians choose their voters instead of voters choosing them. CA friends, protect our power. Vote YES on Prop 50 TODAY. #CAVoteYesProp50
Let folks know that they are loved, that the world needs their light, and that there are still resources out here for people who are struggling. There is one boat. We are all in it. (2/3)
