“For darkness terrifies. It swallows you, warps you, nullifies you. Who alive can possibly profess confidence in darkness? In the dark, you can't see.”
-Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

A portrait of a blonde woman with long hair entertaining with night blooming flowers and 2 ravens. Of which on raven is skeletal.

The rain has soaked through everything. Your socks just sprouted a mushroom. You haven't smelled decent BBQ since your last night in Texas, before mustering. Suddenly, a metallic creak echoes through the fog. They were coming again. The naked cyclists. "Just four weeks a year," you mutter.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

My first artwork of this years spooky season, a dark fairytale:
Little red riding hood
#art #fairytale #darkart

A pen and ink drawing of a woman being stalked through the woods by an enormous black wolf with white eyes. The only color is her bright red hooded cloak.

But he did it with a smile (smirk) so civil! /s

Annie Kelly @annieknk.bsky.social · 29d

Also even putting the content of his speech aside that's not at all what he was doing! He was following the Shapiro model of provoking a reaction of frustration or outrage so he could clip it for a "COLLEGE LIBS OWNED BY FACTS AND LOGIC" compilation, not earnestly trying to persuade people

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 29d

These people have smarted themselves into the dumbest fucking arguments.

Determining whether someone is "doing politics the right way" depends almost entirely on the content of their speech! If someone lies constantly and endorses authoritarians that's not practicing good politics.
