I know you’re joking but literally this is the illegal backflip they’re referring to

hold on, sweetie. mom needs to take another solo

chat, i’ve finally figured out the secret to playing piano faster: move your hands faster

the older i get, the more gentle my heart seems to become and simultaneously the more passionate, the more i crave soup

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! 🌼🙌🏾 Check out my horror-fantasy comic sometime, Jade Kingdoms on webtoon! I also tend to update when the blue moon hits pfff ilysm www.webtoons.com/en/challenge...

About activism, June Jordan said, “You do something, rather than nothing… You do whatever you can. You reach beyond yourself in your imagination, and in your wish for understanding, and for change. You admit the limitations of individual perspectives. You trust somebody else. You do not turn away.”

Maybe Liam is too wee yet for Spider-Verse, but I ❤️ Miles Morales and Nueva York is covered in snow too! Much thanks to @julioanta.bsky.social for the translation so that I could include both spideys. #Comics4Liam FREE THE CHILDREN!!! Shutter forever these evil detention centers; ABOLISH ICE.

happy black history month 🩷

i’ve been reading the book “original sins: the (mis)education of black and native children and the construction of american racism” by eve l. ewing it’s been the most challenging and world-shattering book i’ve ever read

No work. No school. No shopping

We're going to win because their side has no good art and they know it.

bubblesort studios is turning 1 year old in feb and this is how i’m celebrating its birthday—by hosting an internet cafe featuring some of my favorite interactive artists 💓

If you wanted to do one thing to help us help you, please tell any of your chiptune friends who are releasing an album, performing live, organizing a festival, throwing a game jam, programming new trackers or are in any other way contributing to keeping this community alive worldwide to let us know!

I'm a big believer in the idea of decentralization and I'm incredibly impressed with the work done by @rude1.blacksky.team and the Blacksky team to realize that possibility. I was not optimistic about the future of Bluesky at all, but the Blacksky team has shown the way forward. Massive respect

The other is a little essay by me about how (and why) to get connected. If you're impressed with the way Minnesota has shown up, one thing to know is that many of those folks were already involved in community care networks. Find yours now, before the fascist occupation arrives:

Today at @coyotemedia.org we've got TWO mutual aid related things for you. One is a super cute comic about a small group of neighbors who put together a mutual aid swap in their back yard that distributed a huge amount of food, supplies, clothes and more:

more #momposting baby girl got upset with me because i took a cleaning toothbrush away from her. she asked for her dad to comfort her. he picked her up. “it was so much fun to hold the toothbrush, wasn’t it?” “yeah!” “better to have held a toothbrush and lost than to have never held one at all.”

#momposting my baby girl tried to sweep a dust bunny into a dustpan. it narrowly missed the dustpan and ended up next to it. she said calmly, “miss.” then she put her broom down, sat down on the ground, and quietly stared at this bummer of a situation.

in a system that tells us to get ours that tells us the american dream is success for yourself that people with money are the ones who’ve won mutual aid is a rejection of the core capitalist values we were supposed to learn mutual aid is interdependence and interdependence is how we’ll survive

a reporter asked “is mutual aid a form of resistance?” and i felt my body pulled into of a room of movement elders who have made this seem like a question i don’t have to think about to respond of course of course mutual aid is an expression of love love is an act of resistance

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Bovino out is a great indicator. It’s a great start. But none of us can be appeased right now. It’s still abolish ICE. It’s still prosecute these fascists. It’s still destroy the whole apparatus that has been terrorizing and disappearing and murdering our neighbors.

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants on Nicollet is giving back today for the next hour or so, but you can throw a little cash their way whenever

The Feds never left Los Angeles. Don’t forget us. Solidarity with Minneapolis and all communities under siege by federal pigs. Keep fighting. Hold the line.

LA people: ICE IS IN KTOWN

literally yes

i’ve been finding in my own life that the more i take action, the more it becomes a practiced muscle, and the more creative possibilities i begin to see for the kinds of actions i can take. i don’t just mean politically but in my personal real life and music work, too; any kind of organizing

This has been a very hard thing for me to process this week. LA got thrown by the wayside after the first couple weeks the ICE raids started in June. Since then there's been nonstop violence and chaos in our neighborhoods (including executions) that have flown under the radar.

While this is for new organizers from @prisonculture.bsky.social it’s an excellent reminder to veteran organizers. In these times (see why I did there?) we must all be grounded in the hope of what’s possible so we can continue to work for it and build it.

Thousands protest in Paris over death of immigrant worker in police custody

a poignant thread for non-black folks… (heads up: this thread spotlights black & brown victims of high-profile cases of police brutality)

shoutout to friendship tbh

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

His dying words were asking about the safety of someone next to him Hero

you guys were amazing. love & fury, minnesota 💕

If you’re in the Bay Area pull up to the Gilman in March. You won’t regret it.

im writing something for this and it looks like this so far

putting your best song towards the end of the album when you know any singles should go towards the front because fewer people listen to the back of the album but you want to honor your narrative concept and thus die a little on the inside

‼️ THIS SATURDAY ‼️ get ready for a day of amazing musical guests, fun games, talks, face-painting, and being silly. if you've been looking for ways to help out in Minnesota, we'll be providing local and non-local resource guides, speaking with local experts, and more throughout the entire day!

announcing MELT THE ICE, a 12-hour winter fundraiser marathon benefiting families threatened by ice in minneapolis. we got games, guests, education, music, and some really wacky stuff! schedule and more details coming tomorrow! this saturday (1/24) at 12PM central at twitch.tv/deluxevideodrift

Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before) Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DTQrTqZ...

Loading em up!

omg this moment, hahaha! (the context of this was fuck ice, fuck white supremacy, etc. etc. but then i suddenly forgot what i’d already said or hadn’t said yet 🥹)
