If a governor cancels elections within 24 hours of being given permission to draw new districts to eliminate Black voting power, is that enough for a headline to call it "racist" or is it still "racially charged" and "racially tinged" and "what some suggest is racially motivated"

Help everything hurts. Actually not everything, just the back of my head, my neck, my hip, and my knee—all down the right side, and actually this is perfectly normal after steroid injections, but help anyways. Because owie. 🤕

WIP creeping his way towards the finish line (honestly he’s almost done)

Okay guys, I’m packing up a painting to ship to a buyer and… it’s not unprofessional to put random stickers on the packaging right? RIGHT? (There will be many layers between the artwork and said stickers)

The Plum Vampire Ink and watercolor on stonehenge 11x14 FOR SALE (DM or email for pricing)

Every time I watch old episodes of How I Met Your Mother and I see what look like a set of Blick markers in Ted’s apartment, I get irrationally annoyed. WHO USES BLICK MARKERS.

Never fall for Trader Joe’s telling you that they have “super soft” toilet paper. My god this is the scratchiest stuff I have ever used in my life. What is the regular one, sandpaper?!

That's helpful to know.

Was X-men diverse when it came to gender (after the first team) out of necessity? Because it would have just been really fucking weird to continue having a school body where it’s all dudes and one girl?

No Reuters, knowing Banksy’s identity actually wasn’t in the public interest.

His career imploded because he’s a serial rapist

Who else has read Dungeon Crawler Carl? I just started it after two different friends recommended it. 👑🍩

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Echo Park, Silverlake, and Cypress Park. I’ve seen multiple posts about ICE in these LA neighborhoods. Do not answer your door.

At no point did I fling open my door and run out into the street screaming at the top of my lungs.

I hate getting my hair cut. I don’t know why. My barber is really nice and always does a good job, but like I just hate the process of getting it done. Hs anyone solved the issue of a million little hair prickles leftover on you after a haircut?

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

Any lawyers out here?

This is a wildly unethical study that would be illegal to conduct in the United States. Have you heard of the Tuskegee experiments (crimes against humanity)? This sounds like that.

He thinks he’s a people

Tfw your very kind uber driver thinks you’re having a rough day and offers you tissues/asks if you’re okay, but actually your nose just always gets runny when it’s chilly out

Re the Vanity Fair photos: Chiming in as an artist and someone who knows basic retouching: editing out that single forehead hair (Rubio’s photo) is EXTREMELY simple. Leaving it in is a choice. None of this is an accident, and quite frankly it’s brilliantly done.

I’m trying to see this as a small glimmer of hope. And I hope more Republicans lawmakers join those who have already pushed back. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Apple, you gotta understand, none of us actually knows when Hanukah starts, so you can’t just be out here giving us the wrong date like this!!! Happy first tonight of Hanukah everyone! No I didn’t realize it was tonight until I saw other people posting photos to instagram! 🥴

Being triggered by a font change (in the name of accessibility) is truly the most weak-ass snowflake behavior.

Does anyone else drink chicken broth as like a savory tea?

The people need to know. River otters: slick, suspicious, cute, but also too slick Sea otters: perfect fluffy babies

HBO have your captions possible to use ever challenge

My favorite waterproof liquid eyeliner officially stopped being manufactured. I am currently in mourning (yes I am accepting flowers at this time), and I’m also asking advice from all the makeup ladies, theydies, and gentlemen. What’s your favorite *waterproof* liquid eyeliner with a *felt tip*??

Somewhere buried in my camera roll is the potato that @robmanuel.bsky.social and I grew together at work. Because he was sent a potato, and that absolutely DELIGHTED and baffled me. For now, I’m just going to tell you all of this wonderful wonderful potato.

When your friend posts about International Clown Week, and you decide to do a little reading, and then you learn that Nixon declared National Clown Week official in 1971. Yes, I have come with receipts. I had to get to the bottom of this funny business. 🤡

When a white woman falsifies evidence and lies using the legal system to threaten, silence, and intimidate someone of color they have wronged, it's rather misogynistic to call it "petty high school BS." It's not "high school." Its calculated, career-ending ABUSE. It's also perjury. A felony.

So, yeah, longer thread coming tomorrow after I have slept, because this whole team has been working SO hard to get this out, but Draw Steel introduces Art Description, a new form of image description combining alt text and new standards based on art museum best practices for image description. 1/

Hey @dropout.tv: love your work, can you make sure POC TTRPG creators won't be affected by coming out about Carlos and/or Saige and that his influence will not affect their past, present, or future work at Dropout? @bdavewalters.bsky.social's account is harrowing.

Alright, here's what Saige did to me. If you're a PoC you are not safe around her. The last THREE YEARS have been heartbreaking and soul-crushing, and I'm SO glad to finally be able to speak out publicly. I'm still at SDCC, so I may add more later: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rcfsd...

I wish a very happy “fuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either This is why we fight for *everyone*

Pro-tip, pick the most absurd image you can find. Here are a couple I’ve used (more than once, yes with real clients (but I make sure to put “FPO ONLY” in large red text over the whole image)) You get more points when it’s especially weird. Yes there’s actually a secret point system.

I’m doing my best to work against the smear campaign that has been going on in the background via whispers and texts for almost 2 years now. When Surena’s video came out, everyone decided to “step back and let the courts stuff settle” but that doesn’t undo the damage that was done.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host. "Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.

‘Where I come from, it’s still indecent to publicly side against a stigmatized minority for the sake of a quiet life. Fear and loathing are powerful emotions, but in the end, what tyrants rely on is cowardice. And laziness. And the fear of making a fuss.’ lauriepenny.substack.com/p/terf-islan...

Okay Yellowjackets, what I want to know is where the fuck that plane’s ELT is. Because it absolutely should have had one, even if it broke on impact, it still would have had one. WHERE’S THE FUCKING ELT GUYS.

My friend’s phone spells Lauryn with a Y and I now feel drunk with power.
