In Defiance of Death

I'll let this video I have saved to my hard drive speak for itself. Keep going and don't be afraid to fail.

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

A Foone thread that is truly amazing

If someone is living in a place and you kick them out at gunpoint so you can live there instead, that's evil. I don't need a DNA test to know that.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

do you have enough love in your heart to go and get your hands dirty? wanted to finish this sooner, but, welp! --- #art

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Good morning, folks. The sky says trans rights are human rights.

Fiiiine, apparently half my readers enjoy an info dump, so here we go! Grasslands Sequester Carbon Too or “Why trees are not the be-all and end-all.” Ahem. *takes a sip of water*

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

This is a fabulous thread. Viewing clothing outside of body shape and instead as a language is something I’m not good at, but this kind of thread has me wanting to get better.

Books are so fucking wild. Like, they’re just dead trees smeared with carbon. But smeared at just the right rhythm and thickness to make you hallucinate sounds and smells and whole people and events. But only if you train your brain how to hallucinate first.

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

This (very long) thread is fully worth the read.

For #TrailCamTuesday, here's a shot of me seeing only one cookie remaining on the dessert tray! #wildlife

I've sent a variation of this to both of my senators. Now is a good time to make some noise. If you've got time, pick up a phone and make sure your elected officials hear from you.

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

Just sayin.

I did this the last time the Tangerine Shitgoblin took office. It offended many, many horrible people… including David Duke, who was so mad, he Tweeted about it 3 times in 24 hours. I’m currently working on a new version.

YES THIS HAPPENED. Also in a general sense if ASL interpreters are working one of my events and there is time, I try to give them access to any prepared materials and generally go over things that I suspect will present an issue for them. The idea they're not needed or useful is shitty ableist BS.

Happy New Year from the Izu Shaboten Zoo!
