You can’t eat at everybody’s house

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

Soren Stevenson lost his eye to police rubber bullets at the George Floyd protests. Now at 31, he's a Minneapolis city council member in the ward where both Floyd was murdered and federal agents killed Renée Good. He lived through state violence. Now he's fighting to END it. This is leadership.

There should be a website you can check called something like Saw An English Flag dot com and it tells you if it’s football season or racism season (It’s always racism season but sometimes it’s ALSO football season)

Upset all of my Patreon supporters on our meetup call tonight by suggesting I make a video where I knit myself a sweater out of yarn made from Shiri’s fur and knit Shiri a cat sweater made of my hair

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

alright, here's the story of how I bought David Lynch's dinner plates:

what do we do about the fact that every publisher is publishing conservative “celebrity” slop. those are the publishers whose books we are arguing over buying at indies vs amazon. i refuse to buy books at amazon! but publishing itself is also a problem!

I understand folks are scared but I want you to think about the mechanics of this. There are more polling places (>100k) than ICE and CBP agents combined, so they can only pick a few districts to try to intimidate. Now what happens when cell phone footage of that goes online in the early morning?

i’m telling you today, in early february, right now: if you are concerned that there will be electoral shenanigans this year in all of the elections leading to the general in november right now find your local county democratic party office and tell them you want to be a trained poll watcher now

The thing a lot of people are missing in all the billionaire discourse is subtle but important. I see a lot of “wouldn’t they rather have 500 million dollars and no calls for guillotines,” or “how do they expect to stay rich when no one has money for their products.” It’s not money, it’s power.

There's a weird amount of Newsom glazing that comes from people who are unfamiliar with California politics and I can assure you that a hypothetical President Newsom would be the American Keir Starmer

This is a great opportunity for me to once again link @gains-skeets.bsky.social’s incredible guide to training trans athletes, which compiles much of the previously existing supporting evidence: www.gains-af.com/blog/trans-a...

this is blueskys funniest and most serious self own yet. handing twitter the biggest fucking own goal on earth

Which house was he JK Rowling????

Said creator just put out a video about the Melt The ICE Hat. So I guess politics are okay if they get you more AdSense money but not if it makes you feel bad about your Hogwarts house lolsob

THEY PUT THE 13 MEN ON THE FIELD PENALTY IN THE AD!!!!

Insane this is framed as argument over languages they hold Mass in. The group in question has opposed democracy and is antisemitic. The rejection of Vatican 2 is almost always about rejecting the Church's declaration of religious coexistence & that not all Jews can be blamed for the death of Jesus.

nobody talks about the heated rivalry between Anna Kjellbin (Sweden women's national ice hockey team) and her fiancée Ronja Savolainen (Finland women's national ice hockey team)

I'm going to say again that I understand that people need a job to live but sometimes you really have to quit.

Jeffrey Epstein operated within a world that he cannot be credited with creating and which endures after his death.

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

Hey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

I’m so sad all the time and it’s really impacting my ability to interact with friends or do things I enjoy. When this happens I always interrogate why, but there’s no point. Does figuring out whether it’s brain chemicals or the fact that the world is run by pedophile billionaires actually matter?

hey, #knitting folk: Do you have a favorite self-striping rainbow DK or worsted yarn?

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

'protect your peace' and 'pick your battles' are good advice for most, but it's ignorant not to know it as privilege. some people were minding their business when the battle picked them; some people are the battle

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist. Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

It’s that time again

I know there are way bigger issues right now, but this is why we ALL deserve to actually OWN the software we use. If Adobe was going to pull this and a studio actually owned a license instead of paying a subscription, they could *at least* finish out a show/season and then adjust for the next go.

Minneapolis is 2.6mil people. Springfield is 60,000 with 15,000 of that population under threat of deportation (1/4th of the whole city.) Springfield is 26 square miles. 1000 ICE agents is 40 agents per mile. People are terrified. We need all the help we can get.

Springfield (eating the dogs / cats) Ohio desperately needs your help with ICE. Ohio Gov Mike DeWine said it will be “the next Minneapolis” as 15,000 Haitians (1/4th of the entire city) will have their TPS status prematurely revoked Weds Feb 4th. Here are links to donate and volunteer directly: 1/

There aren’t more famous game devs in the Epstein files not because our industry is better, but because game makers have been so thoroughly alienated from the fruits of our labor most of our monsters aren’t rich enough to make it to Monster Island

*Someone* is always doing production. Ideally that's the producer, but if you have a broken process it's someone else who's going outside the bounds of their job description so that other work gets done.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1) The Historical Jesus (all archaeology no philosophy) 2) Jewelry & Metalwork 3) Screenwriting (independent study) 4) Acting For Stage 5) Advanced Creative Nonfiction (accidentally got the shitty professor fired, long story)

If I had to see this, so did you

How shocking. The Sunday Herald, 21 May 2000:

JK Rowling's team invited Jeffery Epstein to the deathly hallows play and to a Harry potter dinner. www.justice.gov/epstein/file... www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

now the names of the other four who held alex down & punched him in the face before jesus & raymundo executed him

Simultaneously showing she has more integrity than anyone else at that wretched company AND confirming there's an official policy of not letting talent say anything about the current hellworld Incredible work

Absolutely losing my mind over Ava, THE ROCK'S DAUGHTER, quitting WWE despite them offering her a raise to keep working a pretty cushy kayfabe general manager gig and then the day after her contract ends she posts this

finding out that 100% of the "rude" tag warnings are applied manually by bsky mod staff has been enriching because now whenever i see a post that objectively rocks tagged "rude" i know that some bsky mod was getting mad about what a good post it is

was epstein uniquely responsible for evil or is he just the one obscenely wealthy person whose emails we're getting to read

today in "people it brings me no joy to RT, but he's fucking right":

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

It is absolutely wild to me that some people can see all the harm being done in the world right now and say “ah yes, I can’t possibly comment on this one way or another”
