Creativity is one of the ways to inspire hope and a vision for a better life. Good stories, good art are important. AI capitalists trying to do away with that while they continually make our standard of living worse doesn’t feel like a coincidence 👀

my new, fresh take on political theory is called Goodstuffism and it's when a politician does good things instead of bad things. frankly I'm shocked no one has thought to articulate this idea before now

a judge did something good.

You're a long way from civilization, pilgrim.

PapaJohns is so shitty; they flyered my address and then when I tried to order, they told me they don’t deliver here, even though the store is only 2 miles away

#KohenWiley should be alive. In no world is shoplifting worth killing someone over, and there wasn’t even a robbery in this case it was all wrong information. This why people #ACAB. Mississippi pigs murdered a baby and probably nothing will happen to them. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

it’s the last summer for the Zombie Mall, awwww 😢 www.publicsource.org/monroeville-...

This happened last night and the news coverage is terrible. What were the people doing when they were shot? Who were the people attacked? Was it a possible hate crime based on Juneteenth or their race or LGBT status since it’s also Pride Month? Reporters don’t report anymore apparently

These chaperone restrictions on teenagers are getting ridiculous. In Allegheny County (where Pittsburgh is) you can RUN FOR COUNTY SHERIFF but not be old enough to go to the mall unaccompanied, for which they might call the county sheriff, so you'd have to drag yourself off to your parents' house.

Father’s Day can be complicated AF for Queer Folk. Shout out to all the Daddies, silver foxes, and queer elders who help the rest of the community psychologically cope during days like today. But also shout out to anyone who is struggling today. You will get through this I promise. You’re loved.

Martinez added, "We are observers, not obstructers; we are never interrupting, just observing. And our presence is sometimes enough for behaviors to change and situations to become less violent."

I support palestine action precisely because of how awful and authoritarian this blue labour govt has been

Man, I’m so out of touch, I just realized Ed Gainey is no longer the mayor of Pittsburgh. It’s been different since January…

Only a portion of the 2,779 Palestine Action-related arrests had been made by the end of 2025 have been charged In the Court of Appeal ruling today, the Lady Chief Justice said there were “over 700 cases pending in the criminal courts of England and Wales and many more at the pre-charge stage”

The vast majority of arrests have been for sign-holding under a law originally designed to criminalise wearing IRA uniforms during The Troubles It prohibits displaying items “in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that [person] is a member or supporter of a proscribed organisation”

💀

the news made a focused effort on changing how they covered trans issues. it’s anger inducing so read with care

this is not ok. people generally don’t chose to be homeless.

❌ Myth: Guaranteed income creates a disincentive to work ✅ Reality: Guaranteed income actually helps people find suitable and sustainable work that leads to more stable employment:

Finally someone is suing for AI copyright infringement

Matt Walsh is the asshole who always wants to play Axis & Allies in all v all mode

Emotional support pony, for folks who need one in these trying times. 🦄👀

Living in an Era of Rage ™️

I’m glad people are thinking about games, but also I generally play games that I’ve been out for 3 to 5 years or more anyway, I just mostly keep replaying the same old Games over and over again so I won’t notice, like I didn’t even play BG3 yet

If you were wondering, the feds were not successful in intimidating Minnesota’s ICE observers this morning. We’re still here. We’re still watching. Fuck ICE.

😡

fascism. My heart goes to all the people being affected by this harm.

the circus has been delayed one hour due to inclement weather. the bread has been delayed indefinitely due to inclement capitalism

Do not talk to the feds. Get a lawyer immediately. If you're arrested. The only words you say is "I want to speak to my lawyer." They may try to be friendly or act casual. Do not fall for it. Do. Not. Talk. To. The. Feds.

this is my favorite weather 💙😍 it gives me a mild euphoria! I can leave the windows open, I can walk around outside and do things without overheating. And sleeping feels good with a little blanket snuggle.

#Pittsburgh lovers, help a guy out 💪

I love the uspspspsps

I choose not to watch basketball but instead keep my window open to listen for screams

😆 the basketball game was that good

FFS NPR. 1) a lot of the birth rate drop is due to teen moms not being forced to be moms any more. This is a good thing! 2) financial considerations probably explain the rest, since giving birth alone is like $15,000, roughly 1/3 the median annual salary in the US.

Any bold new studies about the US having some of the worst parental leave policies in the industrial world?

just found out the bug repellent I’ve been using expired in 2021… 🙄

comrades in NJ still fighting outside #DelaneyHall. The government of NJ does not give a damn and is just letting this continue. They need to CLOSE DELANEY HALL!

"If you plan a city for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan for people and places, you get people and places" - Fred Kent Again and again, projects around the world prove these wise words. Take a look at this project from London, stretching from Euston Road to Shaftesbury Avenue

Catyaking 💕

They say they have our backs. That's good to know, I was wondering what that sharp, stinging sensation was

good morning all, enjoy some baby swans 💗💕

Arresting elderly people for peacefully protesting but not doing anything about the actual terrorists who conducted a pogrom the other night. Perfect demonstration of how the UK is ushering in fascism.

No, Erin Reed does an endless amount of work to present accurate updates on trans safety across the USA the last few years and she always works to present it cautiously to not hurt us more. She’s not the only one who says Mamdani has betrayed his promises to the trans community. Refs in replies.

Elon Musk is disgusting. Hoarding that many resources is nothing to celebrate.

the Belfast attacks

i’ll test some of these out and report back on my favorites 💗

MS Teams, thanks for reminding me EVERY DAY to join meetings I’ve already been in for like 30 minutes 🙄

i did not know the Twilight Zone was created with social justice in mind. Interesting.

i’m gathering energy to go to all day work training and i’m just gonna pretend this is my trainer
