lord … 2026 perfumery gotta chill with the gourmands. i have gourmand fatigue (it’s my least favorite category even on a good day)

i can’t remember at this point what metal band i was listening to as like an 11-year-old but dad popped his head in my room and said “this sounds like trash cans falling down the stairs”

First time I read Silvia Federici I was like “Hmmm but are sure that’s how this process of enclosure happened?” And then I got to watch it happen in real time to virtual space.

i saw someone on another thread say it has lisa rinna m&m vibes and it absolutely does

this is in regards to the last of us casting and my face reading this was literally this 😑

Microsoft is removing CoPilot from Notepad

there are so many things that suck about ai that i often forget to gripe about one big one: not every moment should be optimized for work (aka making money for the same employers who are trying to sell you on this). the long tail of taylorism. leisure time is wonderful and makes life worth living

wrote about books as a key part of subcultural archival work (feat. @jrdarchivist.bsky.social’s work among others)

ProPublica come the fuck on

Novara Media reports PinkNews is making its remaining reporters redundant. That makes sense; PinkNews has always been regime-approved LGBTQ+ media and the regime clearly feels it no longer needs an entity for that function

happening now: a group of interfaith leaders + immigrant/worker rights advocates are holding a press conference in evanston to demand a local real estate company scrap plans to lease a private prison to ice. the event is part of a nationwide day of action against chicago-based highlands reit.

i think perhaps the thing about the current Antisemitism Discourse that is making me so upset is that the idea of all jews being inextricably tied to israel is both a zionist idea and a nazi one. it is one of the many ideas in the overlap of that venn diagram

this potoo video that’s making the rounds made me look up great potoos and the blurb on “ebird” is great. this is functionally an ecological black metal artist blurb

The Minneapolis police officer that shot and killed 22-year-old Amir Locke during a no-knock raid in 2022 is now a leader within the Minneapolis Police Department’s new Health & Wellness Division.

West Virginia prisoners allege that Aramark serves inedible food, such as “ultra-processed patties made from an indiscernible meat, to drive them to the company's food-for-purchase programs. In fiscal year 2025, Aramark brought in $18.5 billion dollars in revenue. theappeal.org/aramark-west...

It's a clear and sunny day in Chicago. ICE is out and about, with vehicles sighted across the city and suburbs. Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response just confirmed feds took two people from Cicero shortly after 8am.

Let’s raise this and more for Ahmed’s needs. Every single dollar helps.

total bro guy who helped me at the bank today accidentally misgendered me and then immediately caught himself and apologized. never forget most people aren’t bigots and we are going to win

It's cool how all the little terrors never stop.

Cats are such graceful, majestic creatures

rape isn’t meant to be a comfortable topic, and survivors of rape are not at all obligated to cater to your comfort when they talk about it

lmfao get wrecked

“long-forgotten” as in this is not a thing any other person has ever done or will do

i have encountered uhhh a lot of sexual abuse and assault within movement spaces and always come back to the same thing - that ideals are nothing without actions, and that actions include how we treat one another

Huerta: “I have never identified myself as a victim, but I now understand that I am a survivor... I will continue my commitments to workers, as well as my commitment to women’s rights, to make sure we… are treated with dignity and given the equity so long denied.” medium.com/@dolores_hue...

older i get the more obvious it is that even a modest sliver of power over another person completely shreds the human soul. not sure what's to be done about that "haha" 👍

Labor leaders and organizers: Following the NYT's investigation on Cesar Chavez, we are looking to speak to women in the farm workers movement about how this movement is also about their contributions -- not just those of Chavez. 📩 Reach out to me here or via email at ccarrazana [at] 19thnews.org

to be very clear it is not that any union sibling is more deserving of predation than anyone else. but this kind of crime on a fellow leader speaks to a deep level of impunity. she fucking co-founded the union

obviously this story wouldn't have been any less dark if this wasn't true, but I really wasn't prepared for one of the victims to have been Dolores Huerta

nbc called it for ford :)

this is cracking me up. $12.85 for water. this man better lose

“The facility is currently in lockdown because of a measles outbreak. “‘We are very worried she could have an infection right now … and the Trump administration won’t do a damn thing about it,’ [Rep.] Craig said in an interview. ‘I don’t want Andrea to die.’”

I'm so very proud to work with @nicolefroio.bsky.social, whose latest piece for @prismreports.org is one the most comprehensive articles I've read on the digital sexual abuse enabled by Grok—abuse that aims to remove women from public life.

please wish my sweetheart @jazwgn.bsky.social a happy birthday today (yes, our birthdays are back to back). steph is one of the most lovely, thoughtful, creative people in the world and they deserve all the flowers - getting to watch them bloom into who they are is truly a privilege

Just when the world needed him most, he returned

[billy gibbons voice] everyone’s talkin bout the HORMUZ STRAIT

OK so this young trans gentleman was cut off by his parents, has been unable to get MIT to up his financial aid, has been working multiple jobs while maintaining an A- average AT MIT (no one does this), but he is gonna need to actually pay his tuition to graduate: www.gofundme.com/f/help-matth...

A year. Ordered released on bail three times by immigration judges. Only released as the Feds didn’t challenge the third order. She sent money home to family after other relatives were murdered in Gaza which they tried to use against her while isolating her in Texas with detention.

it is my birthday! i am 47 years old, and all i can say about that is what i say every year - i didn’t think i was going to live to 18, so continuing to live and grow and learn into middle age is a real miracle of sorts

Merzbow with one chicken. For every like he gets another chicken.

top surgery is april 13th, (less than a month away!!!!!!) thank you so much to everyone who has donated, it means more than i could ever have the words for 💖

have now seen ads for protein soda and prebiotic soda, and i think the us has a Wellness Problem

stuck in bureaucratic hell trying to sell my car because i changed my name, even though i have all the correct paperwork. i am ANNOYED

dawg fr

the stupidity of getting rid of income tax instead of raising the living wage, providing stronger labor protections, etc etc in a time of eroded and privatized infrastructure … whatever think tank came up with that one is certainly think tank-ing

this really is what it’s like

The idea that culture and materialism are different things rather than two aspects of reality is bullshit
