If I see a company branded cybertruck driving around, I’m going to avoid that business for the rest of my life.

i'm so stoked for the murderbot show for a number of reasons but chief among them is that it's pretty rare that SFF written by not-men gets optioned and then actually adapted and filmed and released and i want to see this succeed so that there can be more

If you’ve read Service Model (or really don’t care about spoilers!) there’s a (very flattering) deep dive into it here.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

A union representing 200 city of Portland employees (the District Council of Trade Unions) gave the city a 10-day strike warning today. Meaning workers can walk off the job as soon as Feb 6.

(Stay tuned: Later this week, 1,000 AFSCME city workers may decide to join them.)

Finished Service Model by @aptshadow.bsky.social today. What a fun way to show the empathy gap and is another extremely relevant read for today. Be kind to one another.

15 years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations were people.

Ever since, dark money and corporate interference has defined our elections.

Overturn Citizens United. Give elections back to voters.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.
