A friend is building an app to help immigrants detained by ICE.

It's a web app currently, but is intended to be a mobile app.

Anyone have experience building and deploying mobile apps and interested in volunteering time to help a new app with a good cause?

Feel free to share with others or boost for reach.

@heyheymomo I’m so sorry for your loss! If you gave him even a tiny fraction of the joy your comics give to the world, which I’m sure you did, then he lived a very happy life.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

@Quenby Congratulations! I know you made a difference in those kids’ lives.

1. Cook an egg (or two if you’re hungry) sunny side up until the yolk is just starting to firm up.

2. In a toaster oven, toast two slices of multigrain bread, one with cheddar cheese on top, one with the egg(s) on top.

3. Adorn with hot sauce, assemble into sandwich configuration, and cut semi-diagonally.

4. Enjoy!

Evergreen. Juneteenth was slavers getting caught trying to hold on just a little bit longer.

In popular culture, menopause is typically associated with hot flushes. In our Menopause: What's Changed? exhibition, we invite visitors to drop a pebble if they experience any of these symptoms. And it turns out, hot flushes are much less common than brain fog or mood symptoms!

Happy father's day, especially to Black dads!

The US is seeing the pain of ICE's policy of arrest quotas, false imprisonment, and family separation. May that pain end quickly. And may it build empathy in all to recognize why it is so wrong that this is the every day US policing experience for you.

Important: Not all dads are good dads. If your dad is not proud of you, just know that I am proud of you!

And some good dads have experienced loss, and many people have lost good dads. Today is difficult for many people.

There's no one right way to feel about today. However you feel, is right.

Escondido, CA, in San Diego County. While all those bazillions of people were gathering downtown, their neighbors to the north were out too! This is less than half the crowd before the march began.

San Diego is full of dancing and amazing signs and families. Huge diverse coalition has come together for this. So much love and protection energy for our border community is here

This Pride Month, there are many reasons you might want to protest & fight for your rights.

If you do decide to join the action, make sure to prepare properly to keep yourself safe.

Your smartphone is an essential tool to organize and report, but it can also make you vulnerable to the mass surveillance many protests are targeted with.

Here’s how to prepare your device before a protest to minimize your risk: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/01/23/activists-guide-securing-your-smartphone/

Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book.

@NunavutBirder

Random question: have you watched North of North on Netflix, a comedy/drama tv show set in Nunavut? If so, how do you rate it for accuracy of the region as a setting? From way down here in California, it looks like bits are probably pretty close, but seem kind of randomly or inconsistently included. Curious for a local perspective if you’d care to weigh in.

Hey everyone,

With all the craziness going on, please check out and share:

It’s an online directory of local resources available as alternatives to contacting law enforcement if you need help with DV, mental health, housing, LGBTQ+ support, protecting your vote, crisis management, addiction, etc.
