Heehee. This is the most Portland thing ever. Also, this is how you push back. Non-violent. Joyful. 👏👏👏 from your neighbor near Seattle

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

Why "should" we all embrace AI then? Because it's "here to stay"? Isn't that a bit defeatist?

The Other Happy Place @theotherhappyplace.bsky.social · 1d

This is why, more and more, I just can't muster up any desire to be a success in the mainstream art world. They want AI to make "content" for people who don't care.

I care about my art, and I want to give it to an audience who cares.

An audience i like and respect.

If AI is so awesome why do we all want to turn it off?

emily moonlight @threnody.bsky.social · 1d

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

This country would be a lot better off if we didn’t have chain stores and fast food and instead had mom and pop businesses that kept money in a community and gave every town and city its own unique flare. But every city looks like the next and all the money goes to Wall Street banks.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The Trump administration plans to mint a $1 coin featuring Trump’s image, yet another illegal move. This violates the 1866 law, which states that only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency.

This goes deep into the bartender soul: we're trained to pick up on the layers below the surface of who people pretend to be (often exposed while drunk).

AOC says: "Laugh at them! The risks are real but one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is to laugh at them."

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.

The People's Fabric @peoplesfabric.com · 5d

Pro-tip: if you have video of you or others directly intervening to obstruct ICE or de-arrest someone, for god’s sake don’t post it on social media. Or at a minimum blur faces first. You’re just begging for federal charges.

I originally started this account to post my art, so here's a work in progress. It's a map (not to scale) of the trip to Europe this summer. Hoping to finish it soon.

Miley Cyrus "End of the World" vibes this autumn. I've been having dreams of buildings crumbling all week. But I'm starting new things. Learning new skills, in my 40s. I have a new vision of who I am.

Otter Chaos @andrearepetto.latinsky.social · 5d

Please believe me, I'm on the same vibe. I'm in there, helping build a new world, and if you're seeing what I'm seeing, there is hope. And if we don't have hope, all is lost. There are more of us than the ones who would see it die
