Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

Every one deserves to eat. It’s that simple.

important reminder: food banks usually prefer money to direct food donations because they can buy at discounted rates check with your local food bank to be sure but now is the time to help out

I really gave this the business, and so can you! A lot of the questions are VERY "hey, person who *loves* AI, how can we, a government who *loves* AI, make sure companies who *also love* AI come to Canada to do trickledown economics?"

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20. Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

wake up, hosers new petition just dropped e-6818 is calling to strengthen the Canada Health Act to stop provinces from privatizing health care and to force provinces to account for how and where they used health transfer money

If you’re like most Canadians, you don’t know that all of your parcels get delivered by Canada Post if you live in rural Canada. The big couriers don’t go there. They drop them off at the post office and letter carriers take them the rest of the way. Ending home delivery cuts them off.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Me, trying to sleep: Why does it feel so gross? It can’t be That hot tonight. Me, seeing that the humidity is at 93%: Oh. Okay. I get it now.

Happy Labor Day to all who celebrate, and a miserable Labor Day to those who don't, because people who hate labor don't deserve nice things.

"Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)". Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, genocide scholars' association says - www.reuters.com/world/middle...

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

The nuclear family is a modern invention grounded in modern patriarchal and capitalist power structure, but that doesn't stop fascists from pretending it's the "natural" power model and social structure that should be copied at every level of society.

I hope people read these stories and are encouraged to take their own action: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/08/la-u...

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

I’m a monthly sustainer of Crips for eSIMs for Gaza — please join me if you can. This material support makes a difference!

a first step to organizing people to do anything right now is just bringing people together for anything—to vent. to eat together. to make art. to remind people we have each other. to ask what we can do together. to keep the despair at bay.

Hi Friends, If this popped up for you, a little love helps it reach someone else’s feed too, who might be waiting for a show near them. Join Waitlist Here👇 forms.gle/UcjQEzxVD5Qy... I am trying to add shows in the cities listed. If one is close to you, please join the email list at the link.

There's a really persistent strain of thought that holds that men are ontologically evil and dangerous (whether it glorifies that danger, or deplores it) and it is fundamentally reactionary. It's the logic of the TERF and the manosphere grifter, and it is antithetical toward the idea of change

Many of these are debut authors. Please check out their books also.

Listen to @deanspade.bsky.social and @prisonculture.bsky.social talk about relationships: to ourselves, to each other, to our people, to our movements. To whoever constitutes us. Great insights as always. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

I am beseeching you all to watch #MemoirOfRati. Please. For me.

placard finished for margate pride tomorrow! 🏳️‍⚧️✨️🌿⚔️

US-backed Israeli forces and private contractors have put in place a flawed, militarized aid distribution system in Gaza, turning aid distributions into regular bloodbaths.

With itch delisting trans authors, here's a bunch of us you can support Please share

In addition to supporting the Sameer Project, here are a few other calls to action from our partners and friends we'd like to share, amid the ongoing created starvation, shooting and killing of Palestinians in Gaza:

Excellent reporting here on the itch ban and the effect it's already having on queer/trans authors (and includes steps for what you can do to push back):

3.5k signatures away from 100k, i think we can get there

Please please please sign this. I can't overstate how badly NSFW creators need help rn. When we lose our ability to scrape together a living, the niche communities and pockets of creativity you enjoy will evaporate. It takes 10 seconds to show your support for our entire industry

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly: "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT." "HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

Affordable housing, nutritious food, clean water, time off, the internet, breathable air, universal healthcare, quick and clean mass transit, and living wages are not luxuries. They're the baseline of human rights.

Many thoughts head full of #MemoirOfRati.

The national-- and international-- response to COVID in the past few years has been broad denial of its persistent danger, and a refusal to alter our behavior in response to what we learned. Masking should have persisted, and there should have been an HVAC filtration revolution.

I should really learn how to nap so I can take advantage of the energy I have at 1:30am without sacrificing sleep.

Someone please remind me that trying to learn two tonal languages at the same time is a bad idea.

I find it discouraging how many people are saying “Google search sucks now so I started using ChatGPT for search.” It’s like hearing “My allergy medicine stopped working for me so I started eating Skittles instead.”

Happy Disability Pride month, y'all. If you're disabled, share your links (arts, crafts, books, zines, ko-fi, mutual aid, what have you) so we can share it! Non-disabled folks, like, share, & buy/donate! Let's uplift some voices and help some folks!

Once again, it must be said as loudly as possible: AI can't do the things described in this paragraph, and there is no pathway to it ever being able to do them.
