Ms. Rachel calls out Barack Obama's statement on Gaza, highlighting how referring to 'Israeli families' while calling Palestinians 'the people of Gaza' strips them of their humanity. 'Palestinians have families, too,' she wrote.

a club/bar is a public space, clearing ICE to enter.
HOWEVER: once a ticket, cover or wristband is required for entry, it deems the area PRIVATE, preventing ICE raids indoors. this information is directly from ICIRR. in order to get in to your PRIVATE party, they must have a warrant. ⬇️

Again, I ask, what are we going to do when ICE shows up. Sharing infographics (if even that) only does so much, because it’s not beyond me that most of the shows on the strip have almost all-white audiences, and I don’t trust white gays to do the right thing (clearly). So what are we doing?

Time to update the scoreboards so everyone knows what's up before JK Rowling drops another few hundred grand on being a bigot loser

Money wasted on being a dick to trans people: literally millions upon millions.

Literary analysis, creative writing, art history, anthropology. These disciplines help us understand ourselves both as individuals and in community by connecting us with the world as a whole: it's past, it's present, and our perception of its future.

Only a fascist seeks to diminish these studies.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Someone told me that you can't buy Affinity Publisher/suite right now, and this is their web page.

Affinity Publisher importing IDML but not EXPORTING IDML was always a warning sign to me that they were not committed to the sparkle motion of openness.

A message from Assata Shakur's daughter, Kakuya Shakur:

“At approximately 1:15 PM on September 25th, my mother, Assata Shakur, took her last earthly breath. Words cannot describe the depth of loss that I am feeling at this time,” Kakuya Shakur, her daughter, wrote on Facebook.

“I want to thank you for your loving prayers that continue to anchor me in the strength that I need in this moment. My spirit is overflowing in unison with all of you who are grieving with me at this time.”

If you’re wanting to know more about the deeply entangled history of American animation and vaudeville minstrelsy, here’s a deeply informative thread.

I only learned this because animation was my major. And I didn’t even have the time to learn all of it. (But that’s a whole other issue.)

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually
