Thread with a couple short scenes from a lesbian vampire story that I have kickin' around in the back of my head! This may be all that ever comes of it, but I still like em :] 1/4

days into a hunger and labor strike of hundreds detained in GEO Group-run Delaney Hall, people inside report beatings, rotten food, crumbling facilities, and denied medical care. protesters and organizers outside are confronting ICE in the Newark street. talked to a few about it: @us.theguardian.com

This happened today y’all. Clearly, local anti-ICE organizers are informed but we (online) are not being told about it in the ways we used to. ICE and the govt have adapted their strategies since Minneapolis because of the work that local organizers did and because of the mass coverage online.

It is time to make my hard pivot to shoujo manga

I want to watch that new Obsession movie in total isolation and I don't want to hear a single goddamn thing that anyone on the internet has to say about it

Black women deserve so much better. You deserve safety, consideration, opportunity, respect, and fidelity by others in the brilliance you have to offer. The world has failed you, not the other way around. I believe in the magic you have.

Does anyone have thoughts about the Disturbia x New Rock collab? I looove New Rock and these boots look so cute but I'm wary of quality since Disturbia is fast fashion. :/ the boots are so expensive, I want them to last!!

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote. (Published Dec. 2024)

Spring has sprung which means fresh zine fests and art book fairs. If you participate in these events and haven't checked out this sales transparency page, have a look! It might help you set expectations and it would be great for you to share your results/experiences. tinyurl.com/artbookfairsales

Thinking about all these beloved and deeply important art institutions closing in SF. Not a suggestion, but a plaintive wish--I wish the comics/art community would start taking root in the East Bay. I'm not even talking Berkeley or Oakland, I mean like Richmond, Antioch, Martinez etc

Check out zinemap.com. This international map of zine shops, libraries and events is a stellar resource - lots of community input and some interviews too. Thanks to its creator CJ for telling me about it this morning. Happy to boost this, as it's filled with useful information.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

At a recent zine fest, I circulated a little manifesto against using AI for protest flyers and wound up talking about AI with a bunch of folks. the most common sentiment I picked up was: "At least I only use it for this, not for that."

Organizers have collected 14 lotion bottles, two deodorant bottles, and one AA Battery that detainees have thrown over the fences with notes attached to them. The full story: lataco.com/captive-loti... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares

8/ So why are children being left to languish in federal shelters? Advocates for immigrant kids believe it's to pressure them to self-deport. Last week, lawyers obtained a document the government provides to kids in the shelter system:

these are the names of young Black men who were "found dead" after the Ferguson uprising following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Edward Crawford Jr. is in the famous image below. his death was ruled a suicide. our gov't is not new to silencing activists. the least we can do is remember them.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
