guys, leave your fears about the state of the world behind for a moment and look at this because it's amazing: www.threads.com/@britunfilte...

When I was a little kid, a guy in a turban caught me staring at him in a mall food court. I was embarrassed but he was nice, so with Dad’s permission, I asked about his “hat.” He said that the turban meant that he was a helper. “It means that if you need help, ask me. *I* will help.” (1)

I rebuke the idea that they’re the “silent majority.” And I want them to know it too. They do not have consensus, they do not have a mandate, and I want them uncomfortable.

Two things— credit where it’s due, first. It was my wife @tekla.bsky.social who answered the door and who wound up driving the kids home. Second— the other reason we put up signs and bumper stickers is because without them, other white people are free to assume all of us secretly agree with them

We have a Black Lives Matter one and a banner saying Abolish ICE, as well as a plethora of bumper stickers on our car. And sure, they’re not going to accomplish much on their own, but they did mean some kids could knock on our door at 10 PM and feel safe

Obviously this is a dipshit opinion. But since I sometimes see people on the left rolling their eyes about those signs, I just want you all to know that the other night some lost Black teens came to our house after taking the wrong bus and we were able to get them home. Why’d they pick us? Signs.

Frame this and put it somewhere you see every morning.

Versova is Centre Fresh. Jim Dean was the biggest trump donor in Sioux County, and his car showroom is where the county GOP holds events

SO WEIRD how they ended their conspiracy right after Biden was out

really hard to overstate just how dumb the last 20 years have been, lol

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

bout to read this and i really hope it's Team Pack It Then Shut The Door On Doing It Again And Laugh (is this legal? no idea) bsky.app/profile/theu...

this is a misintepretation. he will be "fully transparent" due to having undergone The Chrysalis.

you can't fool me, i know mitch mcconnell's new host when i see it

I know dooming is annoying to see on bsky, but i am going to counter with: no one is on here and nothing we say here matters and that's not me dooming about the platform; it being niche is why it's fun and why the convos on here can be so great. idk, just amend it with: Don't doom (on TikTok)

i just do not understand why you would bring anything before this supreme court when there's so little chance you'd win and loss means the horrible new illegal reality is now legal

Hi everyone, I’m sharing to ask for support for our own Atticus Jackson Whether you donate or share, every bit of help makes a difference. Link to fundraiser 👇🏽 gofund.me/37be0034d

I love how Graham Linehan pretends it was trans women who destroyed his life and career. He got triggered over one criticism of The IT Crowd and then he acted like a victim for 13 years. He could've simply been a man and be normal. Instead he sabotaged his own life cause he's an idiot.

Ah yes, I remember the multimillion dollar campaigns to remove people named Graham from public spaces and their marriages oh wait

Ayo Johnny Bravo would be an ally because getting "woah mama" from this man would be gender euphoric for trans women

The thing is that I'm not even really sure that "vampires" are meaningfully 'folklore' at this point, too. Our entire conception of them is very very heavily based on one book and the movies based on it, and deeply of that era.

"Dracula was a land owner" yeah a sexy one chomp chomp

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

Filing "reactionary online shut-in dudes with the mass shooter personality stack are all talking about their new favorite movie and it's an Uwe Boll Death Wish knockoff made in Croatia" under gags I would have left in drafts in 2019.

I had no idea when it happened that these two guys would be responsible for 80% of right wing culture one day youtu.be/B3M_wGfYewo?...

This stack of rulebooks and these packs of fluoxetine are in my house for completely coincidental reasons

Like my heart hurts over this. There is so much work to do and there are so few people in power who even seem to realize it.

Anyone else feel oppressively overwhelmed by how many things need to be fixed with the U.S. govt?

"What if we made an epic, slow-burn, high-minded sci fi concept with a 8-digit per episode budget done by the same guys who did Breaking Bad and the entire marketing spend is just a branded donut truck outside of San Diego Comic Con"

ngl nothing has endeared me more to Apple more than Apple TV. They just keep on blowing their massive wealth on prestige TV and just not tell anyone about it.

Apple TV doesn’t do marketing? Do the whispers of a blind prophet in the Kabul market not count? The petroglyphs depicting the Morning Show found in the Forbidden Tomb in Giza? I personally learnt about See from a statue in Rome that spoke in the voice of a long-dead child.

unreleased dlc. potentially vaporware

Future junior Democratic senator for Michigan is an Arab Muslim who is pro LGBTQ rights to the hilt. 👍🏽

I'm WADIN' IN! i have asthma so central air is important to me. i do get that the climate change catch-22 is maddening. tho maybe that's out of date, idk www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK224...

it sucks that MJ Isn't An Abuser: The Movie has done so well. it says bad stuff about our species. i mean there's plenty of other stuff that says way worse about our species. anyway, i would like to be a tortoise, please.

I have lost track of how many times I've been told "you need to get good at tiktok if you want to have any hope of getting another book deal" and frankly I would rather vanish from all reckoning for eternity.

I saw the best minds of my generation Destroyed by the need to self-produce, self-promote, self-tape, self-censor Forced to brand themselves New, so New you smell the burnt flesh, and still the branding itself screams You've Seen It All Before

"How much work do I have to do to get /paid/ for my work" is an exceedingly painful starting place mentally for an artist, man.

😭😭😭

i do also hate it! why can't our skill just be the thing we're good at. why does it also have to be SELLING

I’ve heard reliable stories of authors getting a third of the advance they would’ve gotten a few years ago and publishers telling them “go make up the difference on substack”

I think that more than ever in my career, "good" and "bad" (morally and in terms of quality) barely enter the discussion as part of the rubric anymore.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!
