"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

WHAT IF WE JUST INVESTED IN ARTISTS AND AUTHORS LIKE MANY OTHER COUNTRIES

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer. It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

it’s just so obvious they’re so angry young people have access to any information that isn’t controlled by white billionaires

if Teen Vogue as we know it dies today, I hope its team know in their hearts that they did more to champion democracy and freedom of speech and to mobilize citizens of all ages toward progressive causes than all the pundits at legacy outlets who sneered at the notion of wanting teens to be informed

As a parent of a trans kid, part of what shatters my heart is that The Discourse around trans kids is just loud and constant. She has good framing, but the barrage of hate is exhausting. Every day for her is so much more work than for her peers, because she has to hold up her shields constantly.

me: maybe it's weird I made so much about this MC's hand stimming marking her as strange, do people really notice? people the last week: wtf are you doing with your hands? are you okay? did I upset you? I'll go. what's WRONG?

We are seeing not just a merging of different parts of the armed forces; we are also seeing a deprofessionalization. Competent people are fired. Those willing to break the law are hired. Normal practices are abandoned as the new force becomes more responsive to the demand for quotas & brutalization.

Me, in Cillian Murphy’s accent: NO FUCKING DUNK REPOSTING Jane Austen:

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

I hate gay Halloween what do you mean you’re the author who scammed her way onto the NYT bestseller list with Handbook for Mortals displacing Angie Thomas’ The Hate You Give before being hunted down by YA detectives and retroactively removed in disgrace

Time and again we have seen armed forces act like an occupying military in a hostile country, under a constitution designed to reject such actions. bsky.app/profile/bell...

There are basic issues of democratic legitimacy when armed and masked men are defying the wishes of neighborhoods and cities of America.

LFG

Can we all please stop insulting people's looks? Because this is where it inevitably leads. Body shaming is toxic. It leads to very dark and very gross places. And it's not justified that the person on the receiving end is a bad person. Body shaming never only hurts your target.

📢 New research: how Autism charities talk about Autistic people. TLDR: they say we're a problem. Summary in The Conversation: theconversation.com/autism-chari... Full text: https://doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0335132 @helenabnett.bsky.social @kat-williams.bsky.social @willowholloway.bsky.social

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Imagine being the paper of record for a century and then just rolling over like a dead dog for fascism, abandoning all integrity to just repeat PR for soggy Hitler. If shame still existed it would be fatal.

EVERYBODY SCREAM “THANK YOU FLORENCE”

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Guys don't dick around, give money to Feeding America to help support people getting to eat. They have a great track record of donations going TOWARD FOOD. They can stretch your dollar further. They are everywhere in the US. I've been donating there about 15 years. www.feedingamerica.org

the very best privilege of being back to work is being able to help people in need whenever the hell I feel like it

EMERGENCY UPDATE: We’re in dire need of support due to an ongoing power outage that has destroyed our food supplies, drained our batteries, and has us stuck in the cold with no heat. PLEASE SHARE! 1/2

“Again and again we were told the only way to beat the Republican Party was to become the Republican Party […] and the choice that we made was to stop listening to those experts and to start listening to you” Mamdani is so good at this

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for. Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

FiascoWIP revision update: 1 of 3 items DONE (because I didn't do what the note said and instead added a couple hundred words earlier to hopefully fulfill the spirit of the note in a way that works for me better)

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

Reposting some old art for ace week!! ♠️ #aceweek #asexual

every time I pick up my classroom phone with its actual cord and cradle I feel like a preschooler pretending to talk in a fisher price play kitchen

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

happy ace awareness week please be aware of all my acespec characters and me thank you

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews

This is the correct energy to greet fascist foot soldiers trying to invade your neighborhood and disappear your neighbors.
