If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure. Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

Fancy a career change and saving a critically endangered craft or heritage skill from extinction? Have a look at these. I'm currently undecided, but glass eye making and clay pipe making are top of my list! 👁️

btw: THIS is where your "ethically sourced sage" comes from at your local "spiritual" shop, people! You should not be buying white sage. *Ever*. It should be gifted or self-grown. It is one of the most ILLEGALLY POACHED AND SOLD medicines. And when poached, it becomes sick too. Don't buy it.

Karen it up my dudes

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

I can't believe we're all defending one half of The Man Show. People really can change.

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/

Ruffalo: I'm reaching out to all of my brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry, to join us...They're coming after celebrities because they know we are the last ones to actually be able to have our freedom to speak. So use your platform wisely, use it generously for this movement. #NoKings

For some inexplicable reason, this brilliant 1938 anti-Appeasement cartoon by the great David Low came to mind when I looked at the list of the Mega-Powerful / Hyper-Rich at yesterday’s Windsor Castle nosh up for our superhuman masters.

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

…executives at CBS/Disney, and affiliates convened emergency meetings to figure out how to minimize the damage. Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line, the two sources say, but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed. @anntelnaes.bsky.social

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

Shocked but not surprised to learn how many ~titans of industry~ who probably think of themselves as brave ballsy businessmen are actually cowardly pieces of shit when it counts.

If anyone needed ANOTHER signal that we're in FULL ON fascism, here it is!

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Fuck student loans and the people that choose to run those companies

Trans rights are human rights, but the bad news is people also hate human rights.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

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

An estimated 14 million kids don't get any vaccines. They face serious threats from measles, diarrhea, pneumonia and more.

Doing this in response to some mean posts by the author, who was responding to the death of someone who’d repeatedly and publicly called for the total extermination of people like her, is babyshit-soft (Also did they just not look at any of her posts before this, or)

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

So what did you do on vacation, Kim and Aaron? Oh nothing, just reported a massive black plume of smoke coming from Port Crescent State Park. Yikes

Trump is again threatening Chicago with a takeover on social media. We will again say those who trade liberty for the illusion of temporary safety deserve neither. We are not, and will not become, a military state. Remember freedom is something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you!

Here's your recap of what happened in the leadership shakeup at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week.

#ufosky #ufo #ufohistory Today in UFO History - A Flying Fence Post August 29, 1979 — Pasco, WA 1/8:00 a.m. A woman is in her alfalfa field 10 miles north of Pasco, Washington, when she sees what appears to be a post sitting a half-mile away.

Hurricane Katrina resulted in nearly 1,400 deaths, according to revised statistics from the National Hurricane Center, and remains the costliest storm in U.S. history at around $200 billion in today's dollars.

The tariffs The payment processors Restricting Internet access Revoking the de minimis rule All of these are part of a concerted campaign to isolate the US, restrict our access to goods, information, & one another. To prevent us from having access to anything beyond state sanctioned information

“‘Oh look, it's couch-fucker,’ one person shouted in a video shared on social media. Another added, ‘You gonna fuck a couch, buddy?’ As the heckling escalated, chants of ‘Go fuck a couch, JD Vance!’ and ‘pussy boy’ filled the busy train station.” www.complex.com/life/a/marke...

Oh my god anxiety why

NEW: Wondering what's up with Bluesky banning trans people who wish ill on J. K. Rowling? @valorievandieman.bsky.social has been working to figure that out. Her story features quotes from @jessiegender.bsky.social and some very odd official comments from @safety.bsky.app, but no definitive answers.
