For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

Am I selfish for wanting better for Bowser in Ask Mario? Look. I know he’s a villain. But the Bowser abuse has really gotten old. And relying on him being abused as a main form of comedy kinda feels scummy. I still enjoy Ask Mario a lot. But seeing Bowser suffer so much? It’s getting tiring.

Today at 3:00PM EST on Twitch, join me and @dennistherabbit.bsky.social as we interview the Forgotten Eight - Sunburn, Wham-Shell, Camo, Ghost Roaster, Warnado, Dino-Rang, Boomer, and Voodood - from the 2011 video game “Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure”!

An EvoBio/SpecEvo thread: Why do some animals get really big? Why don't ALL animals get really big? And why do I automatically see it as pretty silly when a fictional animal is portrayed as larger than a Blue Whale?

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of John Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

when you're black and notice antiblackness and weird behavior towards black people in progressive spaces it drives you insane and I especially know ppl get annoyed when I talk Abt it but it does need to be said

I want everyone to be completely honest, here

I'm away from the AErchive over the weekend, but before I'm gone, I want to leave you with this. I am an anarchist, in large part, because I love people. Because change comes easiest when we approach each other with empathy and solidarity. From one loud punk: I love this life. And I love you.

All I want for my birthday is for people to share my art

As soon as one person pushes back, others feel comfortable to agree. Be the nuisance in your workplace. You're not the only one that feels that way.

VA TERMINOLOGY GOOD! It's only "dubbing" when new voices are recorded and timed to replace the originals—usually in a different language. SpongeBob has no English dub. Demon Slayer has no Japanese dub. An official VA doing their official voice isn't always an "impression". "Casted" isn't a word.

black ppl been saying this forever but nobody fucking listens to us ofc.

Here it is! The ULTIMATE VTUBER HEIGHT CHART!📏 See anyone here you recognise? A few of the bigger ones don't quite fit...

Please stop using Twitter I promise you that your engagement there is not authentic viewership. Statistically, it has been proven to be as much as 70% bot interactions. I am sorry for sharing something kind of upsetting but it genuinely frustrates me to see people glaze over when I say this stuff

I've been debating acknowledging in the comic that I've let my gray hair grow back since going full-color. I like this look much better. Then Heidi and I had fun with the idea that she's been wearing wigs, which turned out to be the perfect way to work it in.

THANK YOU #politics #nigeria

Hot take but, they've built an internet where the easiest way to make money is by being cruel and it needs to be replaced. When abuse and bullying are rewarded with attention, and attention is rewarded with money, the system itself is broken It's an internet that has fundamentally failed

Trump is a rapist and a criminal. That's the President of the United States.

I just want everyone to be honest.... Am I even worth loving?

To anyone who still thinks “it was seven years ago” is a valid argument.

And if that’s bad, here’s this youtu.be/HwGI8V81QzI?...

Incase some of you don't know, that problematic vtuber in the sonic community is back.. Here's my tweet about it. Be aware of Miia 👍 She is problematic <3

Yep, I'd say this describes me pretty well.

"Perfectionism" isn't a thing. Rephrasing it to "I am insecure on how this piece will come out" or "I am worried the client won't like it" will let you actually tackle the roots of your issues. Don't let yourself avoid healing by using a term that paints it as a virtue. 🙌

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.
