Hey hey, I'm queer and neurodivergent and sad but hopeful, I think we can make beautiful art and stories and music and dance that supplant the empires and grow wild roses out of the ashes and build networks of support between us that outgrow even the most potent of oppressions 🌈🔥🎶🕺🌈🌸🌧️💙

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

🧵At Jewish weddings we say "If I forget you Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its cunning" (Psalm 137)—a reminder of our Babylonian exile, all we've lost over the centuries, & our longing for home.
I've found myself lately saying אם אשכחך עזה תשכח ימיני—"if I forget you Gaza may my right hand..."

What I call Serfdom of the Self is when our identities, attention, and even emotions become dependent on digital systems we don’t control. We hand over more of our inner lives to these systems, and in return they decide the conditions of our existence.

Here's a throwback to a piece I created after recovering from a two year battle with depression when I first moved to California to pursue my dreams. It was then I discovered that my art could be used to not only to express, but to expel the growing darkness from my psyche.

So, first up, obvious disclaimer that porn is fine and these policies are bad solely on that basis. But for your consideration, here is a list of classic, well-respected artistic works that would be banned on Itch per these policies:

the thing about moral panics is they aren't about moral panics. it's about community control and rampant bigotry. censorship is a tool of fascists, those who purity police are fascists, and if your disgust agrees with their mission more than the right for fiction to gross you out, you are a fascist

Even when addressing book banners, I thank them for everything they've done to support libraries so that "I actively work against librarians" happens in THEIR head, not from my mouth. No one will interrupt or argue if to do so they have to disabuse you of the notion that they care.

Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use

So I have been checking the MyPillow case every week or so not because of the outcome of the case (although that was fun) but because I have been waiting and waiting to hear the results of the order to show cause because the lawyer for the MyPillow guy used AI.
I just read the order to show cause in the MyPillow guy’s case where his lawyers used generative AI and it did the thing AI always does (assembled words in a certain order without any understanding of sourcing) because you have to take your joy where you find it.

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.
Floridians are taking pictures of themselves next to the sign for their new death camp
As I've said before, giving this concentration camp a cutesy name is reprehensible

All people with dating profiles should openly state that they will not date ICE agents. Spouses should be taken to counseling over their life choices, since a lot of people don't want to pay for dinner with money their spouse earned rounding people up.

the best thing I learned from unionizing is that "we hate how things are" can be a starting point for a movement. But if you can't articulate a real, genuine belief that "things CAN be better", you're gonna fail again and again
I think win or lose the lesson from tonight’s nyc mayoral race is that the Democratic establishment are openly contemptuous of anyone that actually believes a better world is possible, will fight tooth and nail to stop anyone who does, and must be ousted before we can even hope to fight back.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson.
Tilson sits at a whopping .8%.
Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.
