I don’t like giving any attention to fascists but I feel Iike USA society should give J6 the same notoriety as 9/11.

I want a special news report from every channel EVERY YEAR from now on but sadly they kinda stopped doing that a while ago 😒

mutual aid request!
I’m a disabled queer artist and my SNAP benefits were just reduced to $65 a month. I don’t have a specific goal, I just need some help with grocery money for January. Anything helps! My venmo is benwrex. Thank you 💕💕💕

there's a line in Sorry To Bother You that goes something like,

if the news is tells people about a horrible problem, but doesn't tell them what to do about it, people's response will be to get used to it

i'm seeing that kind of thing a lot over this one, from news and from politicians

this is part of where my “celebrate the successes” post came from - it is important, for all of us that want to see better things, that Zohran not be seen as a failure

hold him accountable but also be ready to go, look, this is Good, Actually

for better or worse the larger project depends on it
I think people are underestimating how much Mamdani, even more so than your average elected leftist, see it as his top priority to not be seen as a failed mayor. He is not going to be another Brandon Johnson, I’d wager

Before I forget, yall BETTER not blame Mamdani for subway and bus fare now being $3 because that thing was decided by the mta MONTHS ago and I bet NONE of yall went to the public comment event they had for that 😤😤😤 (actually I tried to go but I learned about the event way too late…mta secrecy much?)

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that would limit the Trump administration's ability to exploit state and local police to carry out mass deportations.

Tell Congress to vote yes on this bill and protect our communities.
End ICE's Dangerous 287(g) Program
ICE's 287(g) program turns local police into a weapon for ICE, meaning more racial profiling, more fear in our communities, and more people in immigrant detention. Tell Congress to end it now.

Uncritical Glitch Productions worship and uncritical Disney worship are two sides of the same coin but y'all aren't ready for that conversation
Twice already I've seen someone's reaction to an animated indie pilot being "OMG YOU SHOULD SHOW THIS TO GLITCH" and this and other stuff is making me suspect that people are seeing them as like the *savior* of animation. They're cool, but like please don't forget about the other studios too 😬

Almost getting emotional over the end of the MetroCard 🥲

Marketing is so interesting. If the Omny cards used the same branding I wouldn’t be feeling the same grief rn

Me and @momodriller.bsky.social's sweet baby boy has lost limb function very suddenly and is getting worse daily. He needs an MRI and (likely) surgery. It's expensive. We've already spent over $1k and can't afford much more, & he's running out of time. Anything helps, thank you. gofund.me/ba3da64f4

“bsky is boring!”

1) good
2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment
3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it
4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands
5) read book
6) walk outside
