WOW

Please tell this creep who I deeply regret voting for that we don't want authority figures looking under our children's clothes.

idk why i noticed this but these crabs and celebrities look like they share a stylist: thread

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk. I had it exactly backward.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

Morning. ☕ ICYMI: A list of all the CEOs, real estate moguls, defense contractors, telecom companies, Big Tech companies, crypto guys and otherwise just really rich people financing the construction of Trump's ballroom as he demolishes the White House.

Guillermo Del Toro: "Horror is made of such base material—so easily rejected or dismissed—that it may be hard to accept my postulate that within the genre lies one of the last refuges of spirituality in our materialistic world."

The company who agreed to illegally demolish the East Wing of the White House.

This is the greatest sentence ever written. Also, look up Gleed, he was amazing.

In the clearing, in the gloaming. #art

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

It was like this is my teeny rural red town. We had 250-some people, which is huge for us. I was introducing people.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

MONCH MONCH MONCH

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility. He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR. When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

i feel like i need to share this oldie but a goodie today

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Hey, sci-fi and fantasy folks, if you happen to know folks who are involved with various estates in the field, do tip them a hat about the Anthropic settlement. Agencies do not get $ out of the deal and may not remember to talk to estate clients. My agent was worrying about estates not being alerted

"I have frogs everywhere."

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

Portland is so good at trolling these fascists. I ❤️ Portland

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Everyone should read "Pranksters vs Autocrats" by Srdja Popovic. It's a short, cheap ($4.99!), easy read detailing how to use carefully planned mockery and "Dilemma actions" to fight fascists, and why it works.

Yeah I only get $3K of the $1.5 billion, probably split with my publisher. Fine. Yeah it's a drop in the bucket to this company. Fine. Let's keep suing all these vampiric AI companies until they fucking stop and ask for consent.

I am obsessed with this guy on Instagram who makes ice cream using different kinds of trees, then he also makes a spoon and bowl out of the same kind of wood, and the whole time he teaches us about that specific kind of tree?? It’s so cool?? x: www.instagram.com/reel/DPHvnfR...

finally, the September shopping list is live! new books from @almakatsu.bsky.social @brianmcwriter.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @ericlarocca.bsky.social @sarahgailey.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @tkingfisher.com @brackenmacleod.bsky.social @bitterkarella.bsky.social & MANY more!

What is a scroad? A scroad is a member of a far-right online hate group. They split off from the groinks in 2017 after the Glunt War, which took place on fapchan. One of their members is a U.S. senator

This is Finny. He doesn’t go chasing waterfalls. He carefully studies their timing and arrives in advance. 14/10 very impressive (TT: jordancain70)

this is crazy how did they come up with this i am amazed at modern medicine www.today.com/health/men-s...

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement. However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read. I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here. I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social

56. Stan Rogers (R.I.P.) - The Mary Ellen Carter The legend cannot possibly be missing from this list, and there's only one real choice for a tune - the song that saved a life. Beautiful beyond words, and filled with Stan's eternal cheer and zest for life.

If you are interested in Inupiaq stories and/or crime documentaries, check out this movie by my cousin, James Dommek. Alaska music scene people might remember him as the drummer of the Whipsaws, which he briefly talks about. Available now on hulu! youtu.be/Jm9TjZuN3aE?...

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Gracklepalooza continues with a lot of chaos and chatter. We love it, and we’re not the only ones. Our neighbourhood Merlins are keeping a close eye on things and frequently come through hunting runs. This Merlin was unsuccessful this time around. #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

Learned today that Studio Ghibli helped make a live-action, 9-minute short film called 'Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo' that serves as a canon prequel to Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_G...

Shipping books internationally in the US: a Cautionary Tale This past Friday, my wife went down to our local post office (NE #Ohio) to ship a couple of our book orders (I write lots of books, mainly on paranormal topics like ghosts) One was headed to the UK (1/??)

NEW: Los Angeles protesters successfully disrupted ICE's crackdown by targeting hotels where officers stayed, emails show. Widespread rallies led Army to make list of "hotels to avoid" due to "harassment." "When we don’t want ICE in our neighborhoods, we can actually take actions to force them out"

When ICE + Border Patrol agents were spotted at hotels across LA region, communities organized sustained rallies that forced them out + pressured hotels to take action. Intelligence records obtained by @propertyofthepeople.org + shared with @theguardian.com show how the US military responded:
