For disability reasons, it's been somewhat rare that I make it out to actual picket lines when they happen, or that I would hold a sign (my hands are usually on my crutches), but thanks to @rattusrose.bsky.social, I was able to commission what I would look like out there

GoFundMe workers, ask me about the trigger-event that caused @kickstarterunited.org workers to organize a union
NEW: GoFundMe strictly bans fundraisers for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes,” yet is currently running one “to help pay for any legal services” for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good. Its conflict is not even the least bit contestable.
GoFundMe Ignores Own Rules by Hosting a Legal-Defense Fund for the ICE Agent Who Killed Renee Good
The fundraiser for the ICE agent in the Renee Good killing has stayed online in seeming breach of GoFundMe’s own terms of service, prompting questions about selective enforcement.

When I say "Oracle should be broken up by regulators" understand that I don't mean "like AT&T", I mean "like a body being drawn and quartered"
It would actually be great for economy to absolutely fuck Oracle up. Goddamn fucking vampires, the lot of 'em.

Man, the Kalshi ads have just gotten more and more prominent. Makes me really grateful that I somehow developed an allergy to gambling money?

I will personally never stop thinking about the 70+ year old Jersey grandmas who showed up to the May Day parade holding posters of a clearly AI generated Trump as Hitler, the ideological whiplash was something else, but at least they were there?
When you go to protests you’re going to encounter some corny and cringe people you’re not fully aligned with in various ways and I think that’s OK and not something to get Yosemite Sam mad about.
seeing some centrists complaining about "internet leftists" and inferring that "winemoms" outnumbered them at the rallies today, can you stop making this all about you man? The people, united, etc

Does anybody know why the economics of jerky are so wild? Is it because of keto nonsense or is it actually just because meat + time + effort = expensive?

I spent a bit right as the new year struck thinking about how there's lots of Christmas songs but writing a New Year's song is tied so much to how you felt about the year that it becomes such a moving target that it's nearly impossible. This hit tho, even if it is 30s youtu.be/jUpA6Xpv4cI

The primary mechanism by which Gamergate shaped political outcomes was by proving, and essentially creating, a particular kind market for right wing agitprop that spread like wildfire. It turned certain people into hated icons across new media.
It's a real canary in the coal mine moment for the future of socio-politics in the online era too.

Sarkeesian and Quinn went from relative unknowns to hate figures overnight for the audacity of engaging with games as an art form while being women, all coordinated via online message board.

Sometimes the real bitter pill to swallow as a disabled person with a well-formed ideology is that you need to go and support someone even though they have no intention of thinking about how disabled folks fit into their movement
