The vote was 93-12! “I’m immensely proud of my fellow workers for their hard work and dedication to winning this election,” said Meredith Nini, senior promotions manager at the University of Chicago Press. newsguild.org/university-o...

Unfortunately, HR made our office manager take this down almost immediately. They said because it's in a common area, it had to be removed. We've used common areas for many things as a team, including fan works, but HR seems to believe that a Celebration of Service is inappropriate.

Please. They murdered someone in his car. If we treat this as less of an atrocity than the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, then we are doing ICE’s violent work for them.

A Wednesday reminder that @sawinchell.bsky.social and I made a Columbo game that rips. Play to find out what the viewing audience thinks of the Murderer when the Detective finally calls them to account. Includes 5 ready-to-play casefiles + full writer's room mode. www.ndpdesign.com/one-more-thing

RIP Tony Rayns, one of the few English-language critics who genuinely knew what they were talking about (most of the time) when it came to East Asian cinema, especially Hong Kong's.

mom nooooo i don’t want to go to dugu wi di’s house last time he had upgraded his martial skills to include the level eight Annihilation Demon Technique and he burned his hand print into my shirt in front of everyone!!!!

🌸🌼CHICAGO🌼🌸 This Friday from 6-8pm, the Kilbourn Park 2026 Summer Concert Series returns w/ a killer combo: National Photo Committee (freewheeling alt-country re: Ryan Davis or Wilco) + Krill (off-kilter slacker rock like Pavement or Pixies) Bring picnic blankets, leashed dogs, friends, and hang!

A Tuesday reminder about my Jacksonian Gothic horror game Imp of the Perverse. Follow your imp-afflicted protagonists as they deal with the real monsters in their world. If you give in? You GM the next game as your comrades now hunt your former protagonist! www.ndpdesign.com/imp

this is why ct and i are good friends

The rejection of so called HR lady politics was really a rejection of any mechanism for accountability for one's actions. Very telling that they muddled that under the idea of HR meddling (i.e., corporate, gross, serving a firm over workers) and not genuine movement struggle

been talking to current and former employees of microsoft-owned studios all day, and the prognosis is grim: zenimax, bethesda, obsidian, id, and activision have all taken big hits, while blizzard seemingly remains safe... for now. but how long that, or anything, lasts is anyone's guess

if every driver you meet on a ten minute bike ride is a raging asshole, you might be trapped in a society that allows death as an acceptable outcome for most of our structural systems

wondering if i’d see any posts at all if i muted “soccer” or “football,” anyway cant wait to livepost aew dynamite, with zero identifying context

a bloodbath

as bsky’s first battlarts fan, it is my duty to watch the most recent fighting detectives show and inform you that ali najima is a mean lil crowbar

freedom ain’t a word that i would say youtu.be/OiolFnVwoxk?...

Also worth noting that after the very producer-controlled journeys of Ju-rei, Noroi, and Kuchisake-Onna, this was the first film that Shiraishi felt he had complete creative control over—and it very much shows, a demarcating point between those films and ones like Kinki, Senritsu Kaiki, and others.

A wonderful deep dive by @fakerobhunter.bsky.social into the deeply relatable isolation of Koji Shiraishi’s Occult, and the terrifying road of madness it leads its viewers down. Definitely appreciated the care it gives the polarizing yet crucial acquired taste of its final, final moments.

Circuit Breakers, the conference for tech worker organizing, by and for fellow workers, is coming back to NYC on October 17-18, and submissions are still open. Whet your appetite and get hype with the plenary keynotes from last year. www.youtube.com/@techworkers...

jim rockford’s slutty lil robe rt if you agree

so peacock is pushing minions and monsters pretty heavily as you can imagine but for peacock they did this under the "kids" section as some of James the Minion's favorite films. imagine getting your family home then watching Phantasm w/ your children

This is infringing my free speech. Please share the elf

this is the theme for infowars on screen they got gay frogs

oh it’s actual zine month again

Cannot wait for some dipshit coastal journalist to eventually put together that rahm’s brother wields immense amounts of state power through his ownership of endeavor

Also the fact that there is only one trans athlete in the state is part of the right-wing project! there should be hundreds! the years of anxiety and hostility and alienation is all part of the process

CHICAGO! This Friday, the Kilbourn Park 2026 Summer Concert Series kicks off for FREE from 6-8pm! Smut will headline (think The Sundays with a pop-punk twist) and Hollow Bastion are opening (twangy indie rock like Florry or Ratboys) Expect a very chill vibe: picnic blankets, leashed dogs, byob!

Happy #InternationalZineMonth! Let's celebrate DIY publishing and self expression now and forever.

YESSSSS

I just made a donation for $550 (!) to the Prairieland defendants! Thanks to everyone who has bought a copy of my "Zines Are Back!" zine at #alaac2026 #alaac26. I'm still taking orders at violetbfox.info/zines-are-ba... if you'd like to pick up a copy for just $5.

just got an ad for a clown themed lcd sound system cover band and i think im good on new life experiences

oh, if i’d only seen that the joke was on me

Heavenly invited Rose Melberg to be the guest singer on "C is the Heavenly Option" and it was a dream come true!

The Supreme Court yet again tells trans kids that their lives, safety and needs don't matter. Put aside how you feel about sports, this isn't about that. It isn't even about politics. It's about the violence of adults forcing children to be people they aren't, and punishing them for having dreams.

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

unfollowing now, I was a big fan of his plan to impress an actress, no idea about the racism

Xbox's unionized workers have joined forces across teams to speak out and fight back against looming layoffs, demanding protections not just for union members, but for all Xbox workers. https://kotaku.com/unionized-workers-xbox-respond-layoff-reports-will-not-be-treated-disposable-2000711455

The Trib editorial board using a Chicago cyclist's death to run free ad content for Waymo is both grotesque and tbh pretty on-brand.

RIP to the legendary and glamorous Akihiro Miwa

Together we've raised over $250 for the Prairieland defendants through the sale of "Zines Are Back! : The Perennial Reemergence of the Zine Scene." Wow!!! Thank you to all for your support!! If you're at #alaac2026 #alaac26, stop by the #ZinePavilion (booth 2448) to pick up a copy for $5.

so far my favorite part of the librarians conference is the vape enclosure for stressed librarians and publishing staff

Gerald was a pal to me when my medical issues made my own life terrifying and lonely. Even if he hadn’t been, he deserves to heal and have peace without financial woes on top of the stress that comes with being unwell. Please help and share if you’re able. Thank you.

extremely sick thread about an extremely sick movie.

happy carly xcx day to all who celebrate

I understand “Punch Nazis!” sounds more exciting than “Contact local news outlets and the venue to get Nazi music fests shut down” but you’re probably never going to be in a situation where you can punch a Nazi and emailing is more effective anyway. www.nbcnewyork.com/new-jersey/n...

thinking about leonard nimoy’s introduction to the mugar omni theater again, it’s like Thomas Wolfe Said, you truly can never go home again

like I also make zines! I make zines opposing the state! and we gotta have solidarity with every single defendant
