"Brown liquid" because saying the truth, that their wannabe god-king posted a video of himself spraying excrement over protestors and citizens would be a step too far?

The New York Times twists itself in knots pretending it doesn’t know things that it absolutely knows. Such as referring to the shit in Trump’s AI video as “brown liquid.” 9/

President Trump shared what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media. It shows Mr. Trump wearing a crown and flying a jet that dumps brown liquid on demonstrators.

I've felt for a few years now that it's bizarre i feel worse in my mid-late 20s than ppl i knew who were still active well into their 60s. I've always been disabled but it feels ridiculous how bad I feel sometimes because I ache so much and i have low opportunity to get fitter safely to reverse it.

sorry you're dealing with all this 🫂

I feel a similar disappointment in myself and my condition that I probably won't get this either. I always wanted to have the position (financially/mentally/physically) to choose whether i wanted kids but it feels that choice is taken from me despite all I did.

Never underestimate the lengths to which men and their allies will go to retaliate against women who tell the world what they did.

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl.

After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking.

yeah like it's not even remotely the thing they think it is! weird to explain sometimes.

I hope with more awareness ppl will continue to educate themselves and put integrity first here, it's easy to avoid if you care enough to look and know what the problems are.

artists often myopically focus on how no one likes their work because creating happens in isolation and feedback is rare. you're used to your own art, you're not easily impressed with something that is normal and every day for you. still, it's important to remember you make someone's day by existing

think about you favorite artist(s). how their work inspires, or something they did is a core memory of who you are, or how whenever they post something you drop things immediately to give it your full attention

if you're a creator, your someone's favorite artist. they feel that way about you.

oh my god yes I can't stand how popular that one is. thanks for taking the time to educate them

I keep seeing a specific character that's obviously inappropriate but the guy obvs just pays heaps to ppl for comms so I see him all the time despite blocking the owner 😩 im so tired of it.

just because it's someone else's character doesn't mean you as the artist aren't responsible for any commissioned you make that falls under cultural appropriation. do your due diligence and check whether it's inappropriate for the commissioner to request this subject/element/etc.

soggy vagabond @prokyonidae.bsky.social · 14h

there are some commissioners who get lots and lots of artworks done of their character/s which have elements of cultural appropriation of Indigenous (especially Native American) nations, and these commissioners are often european. PLEASE check who you're working for when making these!

soggy vagabond @prokyonidae.bsky.social · 14h

if you're an artist taking commissions PLEASE do a search on the commissioner to check they're Indigenous if their character and/or commissioned piece contains elements that could be appropriation or fetishisation of Indigenous cultures, e.g., character with feather behind the ear, loin cloths, etc.

I really suggest that people learn what kettling is before they go to any protest and also spend a lot of time looking at the police to see if they are mobilizing for it. You can’t always avoid being kettled but you should really try to be aware of it.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 2d

Wait.

WAIT.

People are advising that if things get violent during the No Kings protest you should sit down and show the police you’re not a threat?

Are you trying to get trampled or impede other people’s ability to safely remove themselves from the situation?! Cause that’s what you’re doing!

very annoying part of the feds openly declaring anti-fascism to be anti-american is that so many people are trying to argue that it isn't instead of interrogating their patriotism about a country that self-identifies as fascist.

Plus, the employee is stuck in a pay grade they may max out in 10 or so years.

Keep your eye out for this trap if you are looking to move up.
