Tiny Desk concerts giving me a much needed palate cleanse right now

Cowboy bebop X Samurai Champloo

“Outside agitators” is older than Putin; I am begging white people to crack open a history book about Black Americans for once

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end. I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

In the words of Kwame Ture

How many times do we have to learn that relative compliance isn't what keeps you safe from retribution?

now wait just a second

I can safe jump azami now...ama

I found out that you can reuse a decades old calendar if its year’s dates line up with the current year’s, so this year I got a lovely 1998 Xena: Warrior Princess calendar. The way they added show events into it is cracking me up.

This is me watching curling

It’s always amusing to me when a fighting game player can’t read power levels correctly. You genuinely thought this was supposed to go even huh? Godspeed!

happy National Milk Day <3

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

old character design exercises

Not feeling particularly reflective today, but I just wanna note that making a concerted effort to dump more time into the people and activities I love was the best decision I could have made this year. Just gonna keep doing more of that going forward.

The greatest and often unreported irony here is that the Alt-Right's WHOLE FUCKING PITCH to young men was "get your shit together, hit the gym, help us turn this country around, and you will be swimming in women" only for "Who did you vote for in '24?" to be the inflection point of their loneliness.

It feels increasingly difficult to enjoy art without later learning that the creator is either a sex pest or afflicted my -isms and phobias

I once attended a will․i․am New Year's Eve performance in Vegas. He played a bunch of Black Eyed Peas songs from his iPod while occasionally adlibbing "yeah" on the mic. He missed midnight because he was in the middle of a song and then tried to convince the crowd to do a countdown at like 12:02.

bdonp answered the call for me

More people should stream Xrd

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

YES! this is what techbros who have let their creative selves wither call "procrastination" or "inefficiency" and try to technologise away, not understanding that it is the source of creativity and imagination and everything good

There is a prison of judgment and success-chasing most artists get heaved into at an early age and can take a lifetime to get free from. You gotta understand that the process—not the product!—is the thing. Others are entertained as a byproduct of you attending to rituals you construct for yourself.

The fact that it at least anecdotally seems to be a semi-regular practice to tell white people a minority got the job in order to soften the blow of rejection really should put the elite woke panic into perspective.

Xrd players will tell you this is Jam j.H

still reeling from RESSHOUMANIA but the thing that keeps echoing in my head (other than umapyoi densetsu) is that the venue staff told us that we were the easiest event they've ever had, and that our guests were extremely nice. i've never been more proud of our community than after hearing that.

🔥 the jamily @ resshoumania 🔥 (we missed you, appallo!!)

In case you missed it, here’s the Resshoumania V Opening video I edited. I’ve always had fun mixing guilty gear characters with real world settings, and felt it would work with the city funk vibes from the song. This was a lot of work to put together, but I’m super proud with how it turned out!

Bad news. The scanlation group that was doing a manga you like dropped it. Good news. Another group picked it up. Tragedy. They're rendering all of the names differently including switching every single L and R.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Watched my first OM run and boy was that tough to look at. Real washed hours.

when something happens in non-black spaces and you look up to see if the other black folks peeped game and they absolutely have w/o y'all saying a single word to each other.

Few times do I feel as dumb as when I absent-mindedly blow on ice cream to cool it off

I think I might make a short clip compilation. I have way more than I thought.

I love when a scathing professional email yields immediate results

naruto villain: now that i’ve finally killed 10,000 babies i can combine my genocide jutsu with my racism eye and create a super racist genocide no jutsu!!!!!! naruto villain after his backstory flashback: i need a hug. i’m sad. i didn’t mean it. i’m a wittle guy. i’m sorry

20+ years of compulsory service as the family holiday DJ has honed my skills to the keenest edge. Now I can just press play and abscond while the aunties fervently dance their hip replacements into submission.

in case you missed it, we revealed another RESSHOUMANIA special event at OnlyMids tonight!
