Alright, newskies, here's what you do. Open settings on here, right? Then accessibility. Activate "require alt text before posting. Then you write some sumptuous descriptions of your art, photos, thirst traps, and screengrabs.

If we want this place to be good, we've got to look out for everyone.

ICE & its ilk is a real challenge to my anti carceral punishment position because I genuinely can't think of any other way to address ICE other than through a carceral system.

Everyone who colludes with ICE should be imprisoned, but that would ultimately also further the greater cause of ICE.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

The funny thing is that I DONT WANT TO DO SELF CHECK OUT but there’s literally no other options now. Give a human a job that is something else than harass me at the door

‼️ My internet connection is very weak I’m still in the displacement camps. Can anyone tell if there are any eSIM that work in the Al-Mawasi area near the beach? It’s really urgent. ‼️ 😔

But what happened to me in Gaza goes far beyond description even the word genocide no longer carries the weight of what it truly was.

You’ve witnessed the largest mass killing in history, broadcast live 24/7 beyond what the human mind can grasp.
I used to think what we saw in dramas like The Hunger Games, Squid Game, or Apocalypse was pure fiction.

Ever feel like you’re the only one who remembers something that happened countless times, in public, over decades

Diane Keaton's recent response to Woody Allen SA allegations is just...
•••
Diane Keaton is "proud" of her work with Woody Allen.
And her response to his SA allegations?
Well, just read for yourself:
"The Annie Hall actress Diane in an interview said that everyone has situations that are difficult at times. She was quoted saying, "What can I say except that it's a horrible shame. But we all have situations that are difficult at times. You gotta get over it!" However, this has come after she told a tabloid that she did not feel that the allegations against Allen, which he has denied, had "overshadowed the work [they] did together. No. I'm proud. I'm proud beyond measure."

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

I don’t feel anything nothing at all.
All I wish for is to sleep in my own bed for two whole years, just to rest.
And maybe, maybe after that, I’ll start to understand what happened, count the losses… and die of sorrow.

I think its so cool that Glitch is able to help out such a large production like Lackadaisy. They're really doing the work that other, BIGGER studios have largely given up on.

Just like PBS used to when it first began, I think theres a market for indie animation here in states.

🧵 regarding the shutdown:

The Democrats aren’t being clear enough about this but we can be: this shutdown is about saving lives.

If we don’t reverse the Medicaid cuts (and the ACA subsidies on insurance bought through the exchanges) that Republicans made this year, people will die.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks
