I want to add this, because if you haven't been in this situation, maybe you don't know. When a cop in riot gear is shoving you and yelling "GET BACK," there's usually nowhere to actually get back to, because there's a crowd of people behind you and you literally can't move at the pace they want.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

multiple people arrested.

caffeinated dreams
under blanketed slumber
the warm winds blow in
a grey afternoon sky
darkened trees blare with traffic
neglected battery’s soundtrack
guilt tinged tranquility
slightly sweated feet
curled unenlightened
in thankful repose
cool breeze breathes
shudders of creaky home
quickly, evening

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

To be clear, Israel does not control the US. Israel is a joint settler colony of the West and to the extent its interests influence or coerce individual legislators in the West it's because the West considers the Israeli colonisation project an important one

Sometimes people realise things. Sometimes the break is abrupt. It is easy for me to believe that under the right kind of pressure someone who was very loudly a piece of shit about certain types of people might suddenly find themselves having to very embarrassingly and publicly eat their words.

Such irony in the fact that even if you only read Israeli news you’d be better informed on what’s happening in Palestine than someone who only reads US news

If artists can't make a living with their art, art will be the sole domains of the wealthy and their slop bots of choice.

If you want art from any other perspective, support artists.

no one wants to have this convo but its not enough to just hate ai imagery on social media. you have to also support human art. the entire reason ai imagery was able to replace human artists is cuz ppl dont support human art

And I have to remind them that westerners didn't invent queerness, and that while these BIPOC may be queer, they're also African and don't have to be queer like westerners. And as a queer westerner, you don't have to understand everything they say or do. And that's totally fine.
