Everyone who could have done something already packed up their toys and went home a while ago. We've been abandoned.

The stays for @tillietheclown.bsky.social are nearly done! it's really interesting to look back at the original garments and how they translated to a more "masc" form

something i like about this is that love exists without our help, but i think some buds think doing nothing to feel love means doing nothing at all. seeing love eye to eye is just first step. point is to PROVE love is real. that takes action. love doesnt need your action, yet we choose to act anyway

Chuck Tingle @chucktingle.bsky.social · Jan 21

some buds act like it is so hard to love but it is so easy. you just do nothing. in the absence of all things, we just love. it is what we are built to do. just strip off everything else, all the baggage, and love is underneath

Adding to this the use of “pow wow” when you need to gather your folks to discuss something… I know a good number of old white historians and archaeologists who legitimately use these phrases & makes me want to smack them every time

A personal act of protest today was working on a piece for a drag clown & just existing as a trans dude.

Honestly I don't know how long all of this is going to last but while it does I'll make more gay art while I still can.

Not doing great over here. It's rough. Be careful comrades.

@aoc.bsky.social e-mail going after TikTok & social platforms collaborating with Trump - with a shout out to @bsky.app

First of all, Donald Trump is not president right now.

He's a private citizen. He does not have access to presidential powers. He does not have the ability to do any of that.

Please understand that TikTok's decision to name Trump in the notification is a choice. They are signaling that they have agreed to privately collaborate with Donald Trump and the Trump administration.

For all of those concerns that people were saying that TikTok is gonna be used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese, understand they're using it as a propaganda tool for the right.

Now, I want you all to put all the pieces together because what this effectively means is that every mass social media platform in the United States has been taken over by the right wing, with the exception of Blue Sky (but Blue Sky is still very small, relatively).

@tillietheclown.bsky.social and I have both had so many roles in everything that we do I guess this was always the natural progression. But it's uniquely beautiful to see each other's witness marks in one another. Especially when it's something we wouldn't recognize ourselves.

Meet Tillie! Together we have done some ridiculous shit and definitely helped each other grow as artists in 10 + years of collaboration.

It's been amazing to watch them blossom as a costume designer in their own right, while everything I know of photography I know from them.

I love how Reuters frames this as a problem with Chinese apps instead of highlighting that THE EU HAS A DATA PRIVACY LAW THAT WORKS AND THE US DOESN'T.

I especially love how the company which NOYB has filed the most complaints against, Meta, isn't mentioned at all.

TikTok, 5 other Chinese firms hit by EU privacy complaints

TikTok, Shein, Xiaomi and three other Chinese companies were named in a privacy complaint filed on Thursday by Austrian advocacy group Noyb which claimed the firms were unlawfully sending European Union user data to China.

It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch.
We would appreciate some privacy at this time.
There's a big hole in the world now that he's no longer with us. But, as he would say, "Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole."
It's a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.

I have never seen a work of art more suited to @themerl.bsky.social

The absolute unitry of this etching is off the charts. The info card says the artist is "Antonio Sequi" but I think the name may actually be Segui. #AbsoluteUnits

Fashion posts be damned today.

The foster fail had his lil snip today. He did very well. He was very brave.

Vet thought he didn't need a cone at first, glad I had one just in case because he absolutely did 😂
