Signal boosting to see if anyone knows of any Vietnamese language actual plays!

“People” are doing this? Or is it, specifically, men? 👀

A hearty congrats to RFK Jr., as the U.S. is poised to lose its measles elimination status after 25 years, with the most cases since the early 1990s.

I mean, honestly, straight white men had a good run, I think it’s time to retire them

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.

Oh man, the closing shot here is perfect

The internet is revolutionary to free speech because it empowers individuals and citizens to route around censorship in all its forms—even a captured “free” press. This is why private platform governance; law on internet access or online content, and anonymity online will always matter.

What a fucking wild thing for this guy of all people to say, considering his made up “hillbilly” persona

Ummmmmmmmm

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

The mayor-elect's decision not to point out the identity of the hero who saved Jewish lives in Sydney today was a leap of faith that we Jews would do so, and we will: Ahmed al Ahmed shone his light in the darkness. May he be quickly and fully healed. To save one life is to save the world.

This. 100%. My wife and I own a cosplay business. It's just the two of us. Every *dime* we make counts. It means we can pay rent. It means we can pay bills. It means we can eat.

This is so weird to me, because I’m an atheist, & my ethics come from a desire to leave other people better than I found them, and to do no harm, but take no shit. I don’t need a God or a threat of otherworldly punishment to make me do that. also, "if there is no God, there is no order"... What?

when you wanna be festive, but everyone around you is unmasked and coughing

Because of ICP, ours isn't a secret...it's shared with the world. 🥲

By popular demand we now have GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS at @theflytrapmedia.com and you are the first to know bc I'm the one staying up late to configure them lol so please buy one! You can even schedule delivery for a special day, such as December 27, commemorating the departure of the HMS Beagle!

Seems a little wild that DHS would call me out by name and say that this scene is offensive to Christians. I like seperation in my church and state. Moreover, what's offensive to Christians is the dehumanization that DHS and ICE are practicing. That is evil and an offense to God - not my nativity.

Somehow, it makes sense that this group of people would be posed in this way without any of the danger

Thinking of that time when my dad, himself a doctor, was thrown by a horse on a trail ride. Punctured his spleen, internal bleeding, got him to an ER just in time. He lived another 20 years. With two hours delay, probably wouldn't have. We rushed to *nearest* ER. Not comparison-shop for ER prices.

I am continually made furious by people who have plenty of time to complain that this or that isn’t being done according to their standards, but of course *their* time is too precious to volunteer with the organizations doing the work while being barely held together with duct tape and string.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I’m too excited its Finding Mr. Christmas season

It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Border Patrol will burn in hell, but I think we should make them miserable here and now just in case

i'm not sure if it's in poor taste but i make candles, leather crafts, and art, and can definitely say any sales would have a real impact on my life right now. so here's mine; goimagine.com/saturnodditi...

Gosh, I’m so glad this spread so far! I can say for myself, every time someone buys a book from me, it allows me to put gas in my car and pay bills, and even sometimes by myself a nice treat. It makes me want to write more books!

The people who put $5/$8 a month into my Subscribestar are keeping the heat and internet turned on for not just me, but two other queer artists as well.

Just another day of unfiltered white nationalist racist garbage from the White House

The rhetoric today is nearly indistinguishable from Know-Nothing rhetoric about the Irish, the Italians, and the Jews.

Relatable Corvid

Yeah, this feels right

For #givingtuesday I didn’t have extra money that I could donate, but I did happen to have some pretty party clothes, so I chose to do a giveaway in the plus size group that I moderate. Mutual aid looks like many different things!

I asked @artsbyjevelyn.bsky.social to manifest this thing I couldn’t get out of my head - a pigeon seraphim. And look!! Be not afraid!

How it started / How it’s going

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

“Real wages — that is, wages adjusted for inflation — are going down for most people. The bottom 90 percent of Americans are in very bad shape,” says Reich.

Shopping small is meaningful!

I guess its Buy Books Saturday or something so I’m here to say, hi! I write books about sustainable activism and consent culture, and I would love for you to buy a copy of any of my books, particularly my most recent one “Love Rebels”!

Who's the "we" here? Personally, when a "cancelled" performer comes back, I expect a tedious whinge about how you can't even repeatedly commit sex crimes over a period of years these days without the woke police coming for you.

I became a better writer by writing a lot, reading a lot, having friends who would give me genuine feedback rather than blowing smoke up my ass, considering my critics, and listening to my editors. Every book I write, I feel I improve upon!

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy
