You know I'm starting to think having a body of unelected forever judges with the power to unilaterally change the laws of the entire nation at a whim with no accountability may, on balance, be a bad idea

this is a really beautiful summation of the irish history of anti-colonial resistance and solidarity zohran—better than most irish-americans—speaks here to the ways i feel most connected to my irish heritage

Outnumbered the fascists. Police failed to break our line. They got bundled into taxis & fucked off home. Got a pic that goes crazy hard out of the whole equation. Lovely Saturday, over all.

So yeah, like I’ve been saying for years, delete your fucking Spotify. Don’t @ me with the a “tHeRe’S nO eThIcAl CoNsUmPtIoN uNdEr CaPiTaLiSm”, that saying is about food deserts when you have no realistic choice for how you stay alive, not music streaming services where you have plenty of options

So I just broke my ankle and won't be able to see a doctor for a follow up for almost two weeks, and that's one of the better things happening to trans people in the USA today, to give you an idea of how things are going over here.

When Gavin Newsom says "the Democrats need to be more culturally normal" with "less focus on pronouns" what he's actually saying is "the trannies aren't normal and don't normalize them."

Greater Boston folks, get ready for ANOTHER storm! Stay safe, stay warm, and if you need any help with anything reach out! If I can't help directly, I can help find someone who can!

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

So anyway, did you know that most play groups for Magic the Gathering are totally cool with proxies, and there are an absolute fuck ton of incredibly creative indie board game and TTRPG companies out there that mean you never have to interact with Hasboro ever again?

My friend helped make a 1-4 player TTRPG about goblins! Go check it out and back the kickstarter if you like it!

Last day of the Toronto spotlight, enjoying a nice breakfast with @discardina.bsky.social before we head in 💖

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

THE GOBLIN GAME HAS LEFT THE GROUP CHAT! @laralarks.bsky.social, Morgan and I made a chaotic, GMless Honey Heist hack where your band of goblins must escape from behind elvish enemy lines using some d6s, dumb luck, and — you guessed it — your WAR PIGS! #zinemonth www.kickstarter.com/projects/sid...

Boston showed up on Friday despite below freezing temperatures and 30 MPH gusts of wind to let the world know exactly where we stand ✊🏻

Walk with your friends. Be outside. Make your community safer by being present.

JUST ABOLISH ICE I don't want to scan the fascist goons' QR codes whilst they're kidnapping my friends, I want there to be no fascist goons kidnapping my friends

Leftists address this constantly. We advocate for universal health care and child care, guaranteed pensions, decommodified housing, and all kinds of other things that would directly address these issues. What we don't do is say "more white babies" which is what is really being asked here

it is 2016. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2020. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2026. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithf

🚨NO WAR ON VENEZUELA AND JUSTICE FOR RENEE GOOD SATURDAY. 12 PM. STATE HOUSE. 🚨

ICE out of our cities!

IBM's "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision" was from 1979. That was 47 years ago. That was before AOL, the Macarena, and Google. Half a century ago it was considered obvious that CEO's would deflect blame from themselves onto "AI"

The best way to make a social program both more expensive and harder for people who need it to actually access it is to institute means-testing - the stricter the means-testing, the worse the program functions.

Join our Gender Justice Working Group and stand up to Trump’s attacks on trans healthcare. Meeting tonight (12/28) at 7pm! bdsa.us/genderjustice

Watching a classic Christmas movie with my roomies tonight: The Shining.

Spice is one of the best video essayists out there, and was my gateway into being serious about learning leftist theory. I have it to thank for putting me on the path I am today as an activist and organizer, so do it and yourself a favor by going and watching it's latest video!

we need to finish reconstruction and radically redistribute US economic and political power. anything less and we’ll end up with fundamentally the same failures we’re currently living through.

nothing can put a bigger smile on my face than reading that Microsoft has to scale back its AI ambitions because NOBODY uses copilot.

Artists who follow me and are open to commissions - I'm looking to get some new little sticker stuff done for personal things and also Open Tabs podcast stuff! Post your stuff/rates/comm info below bc I'd love to take a look 👀

RT IF YOU LOVE UNIONS! ❤️‍🔥 It's day twenty-six of our national ULP strike. Our striking baristas in Hopewell, NJ have the best signs 🥰

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Lmao, YouTube absolutely has my number. Come to one of my game nights, play with games with some good people, and learn about @bostondsa.org and the great work we do!

Amy is one of the best people I know 💖 Thank you friend for using your platform to help people in need!

oh they gave me a blue check now I can say how I REALLY feel!!! trans rights free Palestine housing is a human right universal health care for all six hour day for eight hours pay mandatory minimum wage raises that track to rent & cost of living protect the oceans & the rivers and bring back Jujubes

Surely, *one* more iced coffee will fix me…

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Today seems like a good day to remind folks that the senate is an inherently undemocratic institution and needs to be abolished. And hey, while we're at it, let's implement some form of proportional representation system for the house.

more and more people are saying @demsocialists.bsky.social demands are mainstream

I think it’s important to remember that you don’t get points for being a bootlicker, you just out yourself as a spineless little worm. The boot doesn’t care how well you clean it. It will still crush you.

Keep on being you, Cambridge 💖

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

Housing is a human right — and should be treated as a public good. Our campaign's vision is to leverage government resources for permanent affordability.

Me: "I'll go to sleep when this game ends!" Somewhere off in the distance, a fey spirit cackles, and I am doomed to never sleep again. We're at 13 babyyyyyyyy

Come November 1st when SNAP benefits get shut off I want to make sure we’re all on the same page. We didn’t see ANYONE “steal” food from the store. Nope. That person walked out with a full cart and as far as we’re ALL concerned they paid we just didn’t see it. We. Saw. Nothing.

PSA for everyone going to protests

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

If I wanted to disrupt a protest, I'd start a rumor that the regime was going to send agitators to infilitrate the protest and act up. Then I'd sit back and watch them all act like cops and turn on each other. We go through this every 3 years and it works every time.
