It's the classic "I hate to do this but" moment for me and my roommate. We need some help affording rent/utilities/food this next month, after which we're hoping to be in a better position.

If you can't donate, sharing this post will help a lot- we're grateful either way!

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Wow I'm glad I saw a random YouTube video that I can just opt in for windows 10 security updates for free for another full year (anyone in the UK and EU can do this btw, it's in your settings). I was about to actually install Linux in desperation! 🤣

Mamdani: I run against a disgraced former governor who, in this moment, has chosen to issue a statement in which he cannot even say the name Tish James, nor the name Donald Trump.

If you cannot say Trump’s name today—how will you stand up to him tomorrow?

I'm proud of you for seeing that for yourself. Not everyone recognizes what has grown despite what someone else has cut down, but it can be so *freeing* when it *does* click.💖

Every creator should make their own original things b/c, even if you do get somewhere with stolen art or copied jokes, etc you'll never have the skill set to make your own stuff & you'll either have to finally learn to do it on your own, or keep on stealing when you run out of ideas. Better to learn

There can be no social justice without disability justice.

You want to fight fascism? Engage the disability community.

Practice inclusivity. Wear a mask. Make protests and resistance accessible.

Don’t treat us expendable, less than or “better off dead”.

Don’t leave us behind.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

really hate to keep bringing up the same book but p.m.'s "bolo'bolo" addresses this kinda! in the concept of "abc-dysco", every type of worker creates their own disruption simultaneously (from protesting to gumming up companies with bad work), causing the planetary work machine to grind to a halt

Do not watch the HBO series.
Do not buy wizard game (2).

I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Stop buying Harry Potter stuff. Books, movies, games, etc.

There are so many great fantasy stories that are more worth your time and made by pretty cool people.

If you absolutely NEED this franchise for whatever reason, it is morally okay to pirate anything from it.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.
