Havinge stolen an Oscar statuette awarded to Clark Gable, Ich declare myself Clark Gable.

OK now THAT is art.

all hail this college student from Fairbanks, Alaska

My friends local to Minnesota, whom I trust a great deal, would like to share the following resources that could use support. PowWowGrounds - Native American Coffee Shop doing direct food and supply aid to their communities- Venmo @powwowgrounds www.powwowgrounds.com

now that Tim Walz is on record saying this "long ago stopped being about immigration law enforcement" and calling these atrocities a full-scale occupation, shouldn't all local gov't officials be calling out the same for all ICE raids in America

For anyone who wants to help out Minnesota from afar

hey, quick question: what’s it gonna take

There should be public dialogue from Dem leaders about what the medium-long term political strategy against Trumpism is. They don't want impeachment (not enough votes) so what can a Dem congress do that's more effective? Is there a philosophy other than "Vote for us and hope something good happens?"

two 2025 movies I TRULY loved were Him and Frankenstein. am I *truly* alone in this

I felt like I couldn't take photos of strangers' graves on my cemetery walk but I do think there's poignant symbolism here:

still creeped out by ATTORNEY inscribed on one of the graves I saw this afternoon like are you expecting someone in the spirit realm to need a lawyer

felt a wave of depression coming on so I took a rainy walk in the graveyard near my house and felt better

“thEy’rE cOmiNG foR wH!tE woMeN!” No, they’re not. Federal agents shot a white woman ****for helping immigrants****

A local rapid response group I work with is desperately trying to raise $5K tonight to get immediate legal representation for a group member who is facing deportation. It is crucial that these funds be raised by tomorrow. These are organizers I trust. Venmo for donations: @geebees5818

fuck yeah, Chicago. love and miss you

I support this impeachment, but I have to correct one thing: the violent ones are not rogues. That's *why* this must come to an end.

what DOES give me genuine hope is how swiftly these protests and vigils came together and how vast they are, solidarity to all

for my SF/Bay Area people

this is helping me take deep breaths

me thinking about the impending start of the semester

my life in the Lower 48!

A year or two ago a grad student from Europe (sorry I don't remember more details about her) did a zoom interview with me about music biz and one thing I stressed was, jump on the new platforms EARLY because when they're new & growing is the ONLY time they pretend to care about artists.

every. chair.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

I cut my finger trying to get the coconut bits out of an empty can of pulpy coconut water

that nothing I've ever known for sure has proven as sure as I thought it was

New year but still job hunting! If anyone has leads on narrative design, writing (video games or tabletop/board games), DEI consulting, or editing; HMU via LinkedIn or I can DM you my email. Unfortunately, due to past harassment, I don't have a publicly available email address.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

the Golden Globes will feature an award for Best Podcast this year but that doesn't really feel like actual news does it

all of this

from the great John Leguizamo:

it JUST hit me apropos of nothing that 6 7 has caused more social upheaval that our 69 ever did ....can we talk about the larger culture implications here

hard to critique that which you profit from

This insane asshole has been doing nothing but crimes since the day he took office, you're the only branch of government with the power to remove him and you're not even going to try because it might not work? Why are you even there? To feel important and do insider trading?

It’s Dr. Slop’s monster, actually

I'm holding out for the alternative festival

not sure why my subconscious insisted on a series of erotic dreams about Stephen King but it's already been quite a year

We gotta imprison each of these shithead AI ceo's in a different data center like the minotaur

Bety Boop and Nancy Drew solving mysteries together #PublicDomain2026

actual question: do you all like getting Life Advice from random people on your feed? I DONNN'T. Is this just me? I feel like I've seen an uptick in posts that are like "LISTEN UP EVERYONE" followed by advice that the poster is poised to take I'd rather advice remain a personal matter is that weird

Name a non-LotR character who could resist the One Ring? Easy!

more like 202siiiiiiiiiiiick(s) AM I RIGHT happy new year!!

btw don't end the year without knowing who the inspiration for Betty Boop was, Helen Kane:

Betty Boop and Blondie (the comic strip) are both entering the public domain in 2026 so we've got our GLAM GIRL FEMMESLASH cut out for us Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie novels are both entering the public domain in 2026 so we've got our LADY DETECTIVE (femmeslash?!) STORIES cut out for us

Several people read this essay and promptly unsubscribed from my newsletter, so come get in on the controversy: sarahsunfire.substack.com/p/the-lows-o...

I think this red-ruffed lemur looks more like me than most actual photos of me

think about other situations that "auuughhhh I have to ASK permission? EVERY TIME?!" might apply to and you have a pretty good idea of why we're large-scale cooked here
