There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

Paypros are still throwing their weight around. Now's a good time to pick up yelling at them again!

Banned Books Week starts on Sunday, October 5—there are a ton of ways to support!

Find ways to get involved here: www.ala.org/bbooks/banne...

(If you're overwhelmed, even just checking out, buying, or elevating a banned book is helpful! Talking about them w/ the ppl in your life is an action!)

Censorship is so 1984. Read for your rights. ala.org/bbooks

nervous about calls? let me assure you how easy it is 💘💪😤

1. you will most likely go to voicemail. leave your name, city/zip
2. if a clerk picks up, they are always friendly
3. say "i am against cutting federal funding for gender affirming care". you do not need to justify it
4. done! 💘

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

literally just called my local rep and it was the Most Tired Clerk ever and I said "I'm calling to oppose trump banning gender affirming care. also because I think nobody should be able to throw a tantrum and target a minority group"
then they confirmed my information and the call ended! easy peasy

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · 10d

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

things feels so dire so go hang out with your local library community it will be good i promise

✨️castor✨️ @cloudcastor.bsky.social · 21d

as a part of your local library....please do!! there's so many services you could be taking advantage of: language services, video/music streaming, ebooks/audiobooks, and much more!!! not to mention whatever unique services your local library offers!!!

wobblerocket 🎲🎮 @wobblerocket.com · 21d

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

My local library also hosts a zine fest and dedicates a shelf for comics made by locals. That's pretty fucking cool if you ask me.
