"The twelve new songs are a dynamic rush of defiance, freedom, and sharp-edged honesty, built with heavy riffs, loud drums and persuasive vocals." @lindafromwork.bsky.social's latest reviewed by ATWL! addtowantlist.com/index.php/20...

My feelings, exactly.

forgot that the mariners have a hot starting pitcher. SP shouldn't be hot, their power should come from looking like fucked up goblins that have been stretch vertically and photographed making weird faces

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

How does Greta Thunberg, who is 22 have more guts and intelligence than the entire American government combined?? 💙✌️🦋

How I have missed you Brooklyn!

Spending time with Thomas Dollbaum is a lot like listening to his songs: personal, conversational, and full of little details that stay with you.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

Walgreens pharmacy nurse told me yesterday: "pretty much everything counts. if you get sad sometimes in the winter, you're still eligible for the vax. spread the word!"

Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."

👏🏻👏🏻 Proud.

Digest this. The White House deems bringing justice against pedophiles a "hostile act."

Happy Labor Day!

Sending to red states first for minimal resistance; tout that "this is what the public wants, see?"; then the push into blue states. This is a military takeover / consolidation of power straight out of fascist history playbooks.

jfc. THEY WILL KEEP GOING BECAUSE WE'RE COLLECTIVELY NOT DOING ENOUGH TO LITERALLY (PHYSICALLY) STOP THEM.

Linda From Work's "Seeing Red" over at Ruta 66!

Yes, yes, “don’t look away,” but also I hope y’all are actively seeking counter-programming bc watching authoritarian violence 24-7 is one more way to be controlled by it.

"This is your freedom papers. Your emancipation from the mainstream that tells you that you can dress, look, and even smell how you want. This is what you secretly want. You want to be one of those animals in exile." @jammerzine.bsky.social on jammerzine.com/animals-in-e...
