first time carving a pumpkin in a long time i think i’ve figured out the best approach for the next go round

are you a content creator and want to leave BIG TECH applications? here are some free & open-source @atproto.com options : @leaflet.pub - blogspace / godaddy / substack / wordpress @stream.place - kick / twitch / youtube @skylight.social - ig reels/ tiktok / youtube @skytube.video - youtube

creepy or amusing if i look up the pilot on linkedin and message him my thoughts about the flight ?

at the end of the day none of the people the federal govt is targeting are the demographics carrying out vigilante assassinations so we’ll have the arm of the state killing and harming people alongside random 4chan crusaders killing ppl indiscriminately with little organized recourse. cool.

This is big flashing red light authoritarianism. If we can’t ENFORCE the First Amendment, we don’t HAVE a First Amendment.

bit by bit, the administration is laying the groundwork and actually carrying out a system of repressing democratic life in america. redefining opposition as terrorism, targeting critics, investigating civic funders. we're so far beyond normal and, again, only eight months in.

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

The next X years are going to be so tedious and dumb and painful.

overpriced airport cocktails, i’m back where i belong

now journalists who don't cover drug policy know what those of us who do have faced for decades: incredibly unreliable information/propaganda from many government agencies & politicians.

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

DOGE was a success because the entire point of it was the greatest data theft scheme in history and they did it

Once again, if you are just repeating shit from this administration, including especially Kash Patel, you are most likely repeating lies and spreading misinformation

well it isn’t very kind that’s for sure

watching john carpenter’s the thing (1982) for the first time excited to find out what it is

i think the way minis impact the physical space where the game is played is an important thing too, similar to how one might opt for handmade tokens instead of paper ones in my intro to ttrpgs/d&d, my DM painted custom minis for each of us and it made me “feel” like i was “really” playing d&d

This is a dream opportunity for anyone working on a TTRPG right now. Orion’s guidance and creative perspective has been absolutely instrumental in making Transplanar what it is. Book with them and make sure you leave a GENEROUS tip. It’s beyond worth it.

We will never see Trump donors and backers and media elites do the full court press on Trump’s age and lack of brain function the way they did with Biden because they all agree with Trump and want all this.

Pretty much this entire thread right here is it.

I need people to find the same energy they had for Jimmy Kimmel being suspended for the vulnerable & marginalized folks being targeted by the current “administration” in the US.

Folks Wait a few days before declaring victory on Disney.

campaign bleed but it’s my real life brain being hijacked by the fictional eldritch horrors to spend hours depicting them through pen and ink drawings

me and my friends passing around the same $25 for drinks

it doesn’t help that every higher ed institution is being aggressively marketed to implement ai products “wisely” so they don’t “fall behind” and university admin are making choices divorced from faculty experience to accommodate that 🙃

Star Wars, about fighting imperial fascism and authoritarian control, brought to you by Free Speech Advocates, Disney *checks notes* oh no

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

If I say what I wanna say..... Anyway, there's an important chapter in "They Were Her Property" by Stephanie Jones-Rogers about the comfort white women in particular have violently policing the correctness of Black people existing in public. Either in location or presentation.

We did it folks! We hit $1K on Tiltify!! We still have to tally up pre-order donations from Ko-fi and additional donations from affiliated events - but that is pretty awesome so far!! Keep donating - you can get raffle tickets until 9/24! tilt.fyi/MnAopX5nj3 ko-fi.com/bipocvampire... #bvd25

I feel like a whole bunch of people would've clutched pearls so hard they'd have strangled themselves if they had to experience the 90s/00s Internet you are responsible for cultivating and curating your own experience here on the interwebs It isn't anyone elses job to soften or censor themselves

roommates on a business trip to idaho never been so jealous in my life

LIVE NOW!!!!

amplifying important issues

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

This Bsky Blackout is giving black square as a profile pic energy. Or safety pin to show you’re safe, one day boycott of (insert platform name) Post more smut, not less.

The 100K fee for H-1B visas (yearly!) is reported as a hit on tech -- but it is a hit on universities. It will make it impossible for us to hire foreign visitors, or foreign scholars into tenure track positions--I think almost 40% of H-1Bs go to universities and university hospitals.

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

we’re live now btw!! hagging up the night twitch.tv/bipocvampires

social media platforms can only thrive when they allow sex workers, furries, and freaks to build an audience and i’m so serious

Hakeem Jeffries supporting Charlie Kirk before endorsing Zohran Mamdani is really fucking nasty.

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

I understand these calls for action, but sometimes they come across as ingenuine and focused on a product. I want you to make artwork because you have something to say, to explore, something to release. not because "weird" is a commodity fetish. there's a lot of unloved weird right now.

and really, I do not believe that everyone needs to "get weirder now," or that everyone needs to "make more nsfw," etc. what I do believe, however, is that everyone should look to those already making that work and sit in dialogue with them. support their work, substantiate their humanity.

I had such a wonderful time with everyone! Please take the time to donate to Sickle Cell Diease Association of America for #BIPOCVampDay2025! More amazing games to come!

A new strat actually is if you cancel some corporate streaming account purely on a “I no longer wanna support” reason and have the extra cash? Support public or independent media with those dollars

Bring back 20-24 episode seasons of TV.
