First bluesky post in months yay

3 days of a general strike would cripple the US economy. Union rules apply, if everyone does it together, they can't fire everyone for doing it. Italy just managed one that was hugely successful. the US has done it before. General strike now!! #political

nothing like a cold glass of [squints] Raid on a lazy Sunday afternoon

The trans woman teaches the cis lesbian to be kind to herself, who then denies her own claim to womanhood and lesbianism, & subsequently kills the trans woman Ain't that a perfect encapsulation of how we are treated by cis people! "Awww, thank you!😊... You've served your purpose, now die!"

tbh if you know a teenager (any teenager, no matter who they are or how well you think they're doing) please go and tell them that you think they're great and you like them. you don't need to elaborate. just say it. they'll be awkward and uncomfortable about it. but they'll remember it forever

disney adults showing up like the end of avengers endgame

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

Don’t support big company. Big company don’t like you. Support small artist. Or just save your money.

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Hot take I don't think we talk enough about the damage Autism Speaks has done to our society

this service fucking sucks

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

also a lot of the stuff everybody's complaining about in mainstream tv and movies (myself included) is solved by going to other mediums (comics, novels, etc) because no executive management team cares enough about what we're doing to bother meddling with it lol

ive said it before and ill say it again

Sometimes you need to take a mental health “me“ day Frequently Repeatedly All at once Possibly in perpetuity forever Baked permanently into your brain so that you don’t go absolutely bananas from “the malaise that is everything” *sips my coffee and smiles tenderly like a tickled hippopotamus*

Trans rights are human rights.

Here's a look at Bo Peep and the other sheep orphans from ENDLESS FANTASIA. They live with Old Lady Zapata, in her giant shoe.

So are the Epstein Files just going to be Muller 2 Electric Boogaloo

Not gonna forgive the internet for turning "clankers," a goofy Clone Wars term for droids, into weird 1950's racism roleplay

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

i used to chuckle at the "Nintendo adults are the Disney adults of gaming" but with the amount of nostalgia baiting they're doing and increasingly blatant awful business practices it's very much becoming more and more true I feel like

how hard could silksong possibly be lmao

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.

Sony still employs Neil Druckmann, a Zionist with family living in occupied Palestinian territory, but gladly fired a senior artist because she made a joke about the death of a Nazi Don’t give Sony your money

mhm

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

This. If they were liars & demagogues then then they’re still liars & demagogues now and will continue to be liars & demagogues tomorrow. Nothing else will changed except continued waves of propaganda & oppression againt its own as well as other ppl. Ergo, maintain course & protect your communities

having a journalism degree during all this has completely eroded my faith in every single mainstream news outlet

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

I've thought about it for a long time and before I do anything I'm doing a lot of philanthropy

oh shit silksong tomorrow

I went to a community ICE watch verifier training tonight, and one interesting thing I learned is the extent to which ICE agents are "dressing down" to look like normal people. One woman at the Chelsea courthouse said there was recently an agent in flip-flops.

Offer received and accepted, funemployment ends homies. I release my employment jelly to the wild now, thank you friend.

I know it’s all bad faith bs BUT I keep thinking about how the whole “reason” we apparently can’t pass any effective gun control legislation to prevent mass shootings is the idea that we need an armed populace in case the federal government decides to invade our cities and towns. Like??????????

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

something I've seen comp mario kart players do in their videos is popping up a little speech box in the video to explain their decision making or what they're saying if it might need explaining to the audience. might be neat for splatoon videos too.

2d animators are unionized and 3d animators are not, which is why hollywood moved to 3d

Remember, when a cult leader dies, the cult doesn't disappear. It fragments. The high-ranking members under the leader will have their own supporters, but none have the majority, and without majority rule, the smaller factions can not retain control. Even a child of the og leader is never the same.

The curse of anti-war writers is that to criticize war you have to depict war well and to do that you have to show the ways that the state uses kinship (brotherhood) and eroticization (war is sexy) to sell war to young people. Inevitably, people miss the criticism and just want to fuck the Gundam.

This thread is heartbreakingly relatable. My CPTSD—which has made me vulnerable to further abuse, psychosis, and severe depression—largely began with anti-effeminate violence and harassment.

somehow feels like the american version of that time someone on a hot mic at the BBC during the queens funeral said "...and the fact that she is trapped, that the death is...irreversible," before they killed it. feels like trhe same vibe. x-files westwing cross over. what they got in there....
