After 15 years, a long-awaited change is coming to Halaylah Studios.

Suddenly I know how to make use of all the things I've ever dabbled with, all the techniques I've ever tried or wanted to try, and combine them all to create something that is entirely my own.

I'm very excited.
Watch this space!
DA BEARS!!!

She was a radical leftist antifa terrorist who distributed communist propaganda to kids & wanted to destroy the American way of life. Also she was ugly. And poor.
What is the fascist state going to say about you when its Secret Police shoot you unprovoked in broad daylight?

Mine’s easy: “he was a dangerous radical Marxist professor.”

It's a lot easier to reject the evidence of your eyes & ears when you know that evidence has been tampered with.

They flooded our media with shitty AI on purpose, so when they'd tell us "that didn’t really happen," we would have no way to be sure.

What if all this isn't meant to be a distraction at all? What if he just decided that they're gonna release the files eventually, and he's gonna die soon, so fuck it - and he's just doing everything he always wanted to do, just because *right now* he can.

people really like there to be a cloak of plausible deniability when the government does hate crime executions

I was talking to my mom this weekend; she's now convinced that with AI, you can't believe anything you see online anymore. So she's already set up to believe that this did not happen.

One of many small theaters in Lubbock, the Winchester was where I saw Annie, E.T., and Back To The Future.

It's now a Market Street (bougie grocery store.) Last I saw, the windmill was still there. I hope it still is.

if it took "oh god, they could come after someone like me" to finally get you to a place of action, welcome

you are going to be asked to sit with that and reflect, and that's okay!

it shouldn't offend you. it should motivate you to expand your analysis on other current events as well. that's good!

Our politicians with their finger so far from the pulse of what's going on that I want to offer them a chocolate covered pretzel.
Centrism has nothing to say to what's happening now. Poll testing, focus groups, cannot meet the moment when what is demanded of us is our *humanity*. Drop your polls. Drop your worry about elections. Do the right thing. Now. Fucking stand for something.

'Don't fight back that will give Trump an excuse to escalate!' is the most asinine dogshit take on here- the man *instigated an insurrection* because people *voted him out*

No level of law abiding pacifism will placate him- he registers it as weakness, and an invitation to multiply his abuses

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Right here.
Remember how they had a vote to repeal the ACA every day for two years? Why are the Dems not doing that with impeachment??
Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

It's amazing to hear how much Black american culture has shaped his identity dealing with his own version of blackness in the South Pacific.

Today was a lot.
It's ok if you're extra tired tonight, or if you feel the weight of everything.

Do what you can to take care of yourself and those around you.
Rest however you can.

I'll see you again in the morning
& we will carry on together.

I love you all.
Good night.

Comfort I'd recommend for those up tonight:
- tea (mine is licorice/dash of cinnamon/splash of milk)
- dim lights
- journal/paint/doodle with your hands if you want - abstract is OK
- layers of comfortable pillows, blankets
- kids/kits/pups
- a cool, damp washcloth over your eyes
- rest if you can

"But if you protest wrong, Trump will declare martial law!"

And? At this point, I'm convinced that that's baked in no matter what. If he REALLY wants to do that, he'll lie if he has to. He doesn't need to wait for an excuse. So why bother with this civility nonsense anymore?
