Queer, Jewish, witchy-adjacent, and obsessed with my little dog. Obviously not speaking for or on behalf of my employer. Fiber artist that is into WIPs and chains.

If you are going to come at me on skeet-threads I start for an internet slap-fight, please do me the courtesy of making sure we actually disagree. Maybe scroll my profile a bit.

I mean you are living through an attempt at inflicting mass starvation on millions of people. This is an ELIMINATIONIST political movement. The sooner folks wake up to this, the better for all of us.

I’m of the opinion that if someone’s only charge is “resisting arrest,” the officers involved should be charged with assault and battery, and possible abduction charges, unless they can prove they mistook their victim for the suspect of a real crime. Even then there should be compensation.

I’m glad you knew the show I was talking about because now that I’m back on a title screen, I realize I messed it up.

I haven’t seen any of the think pieces, maybe I’ll go read them.

I’m watching “Nobody Asked for This” on Netflix.

What does #Jewsky think of the show?

Ari @kobaltjew.bsky.social · 22h

I feel the same way, sign.

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)

So, like, the message got through I guess.

Cops going aggro on Sunset near Echo Park in LA after the Dodgers Win. Shooting people with less lethals from point blank range, horses running people and press down. Literally minutes before, fireworks in the street

Sunset and Logan is the dead center heart of Echo Park. It's Saturday night and the area is packed with people plus, you know, the residents of the neighborhood

LAPD is going to start gassing people tonight. The dept rarely ever deployed tear gas at protests in the past and now does on a regular basis.

Tweet from LAPD:

CS gas has been authorized by the Incident Commander in the area of Sunset and Logan.
Stay away from the area.

If the game hits 2am Eastern the score is reset to an hour before and everyone has to repeat exactly what they did to preserve the space time continuum, thems the rules

I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I have no idea what’s going on, but watching people talking about the game on here is the best.

Reading the baseball posts without watching is kind of like listening to the game on the radio if they had the worst announcer of all time.
