Listen, kittens. I know, with every fiber of my being, that I was put on this earth to make shit and be happy for other people.

And I’m getting real fucking tired of all the things trying to get in the way of that.

I spent an extra $50 today to get a version of Office w/o Copilot.

It's an old-fashioned download and didn't come with a lot of other stuff, but it was AI-free, and that mattered more.

Charlie Jane "Lessons in Magic and Disaster" Anders 🏳️‍⚧ @charliejane.bsky.social · 24d

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now.

But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library!

It's easy! Check your library's website.

And let me highlight the DISCIPLINE at play here and across the country, too.

They are trying to goad protestors into lighting a Reichstag fire and those efforts are being met with suggestive hip thrusts from a giant inflatable frog.

This is movement not taking the bait.

Life advice: download the file. You know that Google spreadsheet where you filled in all the important info and reference all the time? Well, one day, the owner of that spreadsheet might get laid off and all their links will break and no one will know how to find that file again. “But what about

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

I am a 50+ year old woman, and I still discover new and interesting music, just moving through the world and paying attention.

Skill issue is right.

This is non-violent resistance. It's not pacisfist or passive. It's active, moving resistance. Chasing out troublemakers. Occupying the space so they can't use it.

Doesn't this just make you crave #nachos?

(THIS is the blueprint for responding to provocations from the Orange Reich - bring a PARTY!!!!!)

A bright spot from a friend in Philly:

"The Proud Boys - a white supremacist group with a stupid name - planned a rally a block from my house today. The "belly of the beast" rally. Because apparently that's where I live - the belly of the antifa beast. Whatever the fuck that means.

2 hours before it was supposed to start, the park starts filling up with my neighbors. A drum line shows up. A brass band plays. The anarchists are giving away vegetables and nachos and some artists are selling jewelry. Black leaders give speeches. We chant Breonna Taylor's name. And all the other names.

No right-wing rally ever coalesces. There was never room for a critical mass to congregate. A lost-looking man or two walks to the park, doesn't see their people, turns around. A right-wing vlogger trying to debate people is surrounded and walked to the edge of the park. Someone spotted with a handgun is chased through the park, to their car, by over 100 people. The ice cream truck music plays the whole time.

The usual guys set their chess tables and start playing, the crowd of neighbors start to break up.

Nazis, we will replace you. We will displace you. We will louder and more numerous. We anti-fascists are full of music and love and nachos. We will always replace you."

In jr. high, I saw a brilliant young actor in a community college production of Hamlet do exactly this, and let me tell you, it changed EVERYTHING I understood about Shakespeare.

The rest of the cast was still in Verse Mode, but he was so committed to Meaning it blew my heart and mind wide open.

chira 🎋 @artofchira.bsky.social · Jun 1

I'm absolutely convinced what makes Shakespeare inaccessible to a lot of audiences isn't the iambic pentameter old english it's the fact most plays are rehearsed as spoken verses and not acted with meaning

because when actors actually act out what they're saying it is So Clear
