I'm proud to announce my latest pin design!

These are for everyone with split pronouns who gets tired of people only referring to them one way. My lenticular pin shows different pronouns at different angles!

Please share with anyone who might like one 💖 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4396... #SciArt

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

From the Palestinian poet Marwan Mokhul:

“In order for me to write poetry that isn’t political, I must listen to the birds…

…and in order to listen to the birds, the warplanes must be silent.”

Hey all, I've started a petition over on Change. I'm asking that some profits from the next Avatar film go toward supporting Indigenous Futurist artists and projects. I hope you'll take a moment to sign and to share. chng.it/JdXwNNDTCF Wado/Thanks! #IndigenousFuturism #NativeSky

It’s beautiful in DC right now. Peak bloom from the cherry blossoms and petals drift by wherever you walk, blown in from some distant or nearby tree.

When I first transitioned, they were blooming, years ago.

On this Transgender Day of Visibility, I am yearning for our own spring to return.

In this month's Edge magazine we talk about pay and conditions in the games industry, as well as AI.
Read the feature on Videogame actors and the SAG-AFTRA strike if you can.

Some remarkable insights in there - not least that it’s still common for game actors to not receive a script before recording or even be told what character they’re playing.

Every now and again, I think that all things considered, I’m doing an okay job of at least being aware of younger generations’ culture and slang.

And then a headline like this appears, and I must simply accept that I am, in fact, an old.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Mahmoud Khalil’s Detention Is a Trial Run
The pro-Palestine student was arrested without due process for exercising his right to free speech. He will not be the last.

As the SAG strike continues, be aware that many US projects may come to the UK to circumvent it.

UK actors can’t legally step away from booked work, but for new auditions, be sure to ask questions of your auditions and make informed decisions.

The fight for protections from AI is international!

very likely that they’re about to find a constitutional right to forced conversion therapy
BREAKING: The Supreme Court takes up a case challenging Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors, after having previously turned down many other similar challenges.

The law, which protects against efforts to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity, was upheld below.

Another important thing hard to explain to ppl on the outside of this, but when fundamentalist Christians & related powers talk about “antisemitism” they actually conceive of THEMSELVES as the true targets, because they believe Jews are illegitimate. They see themselves as the TRUE Jews

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

this is so fucking funny but it’s moments like this is a reminder of how important aesthetic is to politics. i don’t know how to get around the fact that on the median voter thinks bernie sanders is more moderate than kamala harris. what do you do about that
the conservatives that Sam Seder debated in that Jubilee video were so bad that the online right has convinced themselves that the conservatives were actually the leftists and that Sam was the conservative

lol
