It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff!
If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

This wasn't an opiate for the masses, it was manufactured, calculated mass hysteria. How late stage capitalism is that? And please say it's terminal, lie if you have to.

Trump never had a fan base.
He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.
It’s as stupid as it sounds.

Next time you're in a hospital, say hi to as many staff members as possible, see how many accents you hear
Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.
'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant physicians?

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.
