Rewatching old flash promos for the Vahki and realizing Bionicle made me anti-ICE 22 years ago youtu.be/Lt5hMKGOV00?...

A helpful poster that prints on typical printer paper.

not to be mercenary about it but I'm not above it: every review, purchase, and mention of hello sunshine does help get me closer to this haha. like literally publishers care about that shit

Tariffs. Expansionism. Sending armed guards into communities. Trump is showing EXACTLY the same kind of out of control and abusive behavior our Founding Fathers rebelled against 250 years ago.

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

A human-made animation that I think is worth a watch. They did a good job youtu.be/xOXolSQcEb4?...

This isn't something you can reform or retrain. It’s what ICE was always destined to become. Abolish.

Finished this one. Very playful, I thought it was fun

With many folks relying on AI to educate them and create for them, doubling down on cult-brained ideologies out of sheer spite, and eagerly forgetting how trades and technologies work despite increasing dependency, I think I may have a chance at becoming the most powerful person alive by default

For any of you brave folks who could use a crash course on tear gas

Why would anyone file and pay taxes this year, or every other year, until we get the change we're demanding happen? What are they gonna do, that they're not already doing? Cut off the money flow and grind this to a halt

theres so much horrible shit about the murder of renee good, but there is something deeply terrifying about the way everyone from media to politicians have erased her wife from the story. ive seen far more mention of her late husband than her wife who was sitting next to her when she was murdered

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

Feeling, always, like I could be doing more for the world Realizing, constantly, that I'm not quite as well equipped or capable as I fancy myself to be Deciding, anyway, to go ahead and try

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

Circumstantially it took me the better part of seven years to read Yolande by William Black, but I've just completed it and I must say it was a treat. I'm not the kind of guy to need two characters to get together, but William, you managed to get me there

I hurt my back (no, I don't know how) so I prescribed myself a stretching session, some bourbon, a hot shower and a nap. Worked pretty damn well

My friend Conchita Reyes asked me to share this with everyone, a missing teen. Paulina Martinez, last seen in Houston at Commerce and Emmanuel. As a father this hits hard. Please share and report anything you see.

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

That should ɓe the next big protest. A huge collective non filing. Thanks to Elon, they have no staff to audit anyone for non payment and Trump can't rob the government and do dictator bullshit, if the bank is empty. Like John Oliver said, the only way to deal with this bully is "fuck you, make me"

I do not understand what use there is in a strike card. Can the strike not be announced publicly? Nobody really needs contact info. Am I not permitted to strike unless I sign up? Like I'm not invited to my own freedoms without a strike card? It seems like a data mine and nothing else

IMPEACHMENT AND ARRESTS FOR ALL INVOLVED NOW

I hope all Trump-voting Christians know they're never going to heaven now. Nobody, not even God, bags the trash and takes it INside the house

For anyone who works for/uses food delivery apps, this read may be worth your time.

I have written a total of 79,609 first draft words in 2025 across several story projects. I'm on my fifth draft of my first book and I'm sure I've written a great deal more in edits. Good progress, I hope this year I either publish the aforementioned book or a short story

My 2025 read list was not extensive but it was a healthy return to reading as a habit, and I enjoyed it without a quota

A message for you all to carry through the year

You know what happens if you tax a billionaire 8%? They’re STILL a billionaire.

The one thing Star Trek got wrong is we will all have our phasers built into our phones

It is morally upright to bully hurtful people for their hurtfulness

EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, the fact that the refutation came four hours before the sentiment lends itself to the first guy's argument Yes I rabbit-hole social media what of it

I don't ever want to hear anyone tell me I'm not qualified to do something. I can do what I want the moment I decide to try. Qualification is a dead word. FIFA is unilaterally handing out Peace Prizes

Made a sort-of flow chart so I can visualize development of individual characters over the course of my book. Really helpful with an ensemble cast. Showed me some gaps I wasn't previously able to see. I think these new found adjustments might be the last major overhaul of this Volume

Just finished reading this by @lenniesaurus.bsky.social . I really appreciated her sharing her perspectives on a number of matters I would he hard-pressed to comprehend on my own. Also learning to navigate Scots language is a treat. Looking forward to reading the next collection she's written

Objective truths are still out there. It’s just harder than ever to know what they look like. What’s Up With That? [StarTalk video: 15min] www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4I_...

Trash Can Robot is the sci-fi equivalent to Blanket Ghost. Both are infinitely charming and never fall out of style

I've done a great job of shedding my consumerism upbringing, and I don't regret it psychologically or financially, but my god do I often miss sitting down at a restaurant on a whim or going to the movies Shame I must choose between mental health or material prosperity but I think I chose well

I'd pay my bills, taxes and expenses. It depends on the final figure, but I'm sure I'd be a lot less worried about losing my home or sleeping in the cold or skipping meals if I had UBI. Christ knows I already pay for it in taxes. I'd keep working, and probably write a lot more too, minus the stress

If you wanna pirate a Disney movie, or one of billionaire Taylor Swift's albums, or a textbook from McGraw Hill, I think that's reasonable But pirating indie artists? The ones that might lose their home if they don't get that extra cash on the side? That's just cruelty Rob the rich, pay the poor

Man, I wanna write stories but the pay-to-play nature of life is sucking up all my creative juice All I can do is scroll through old partial work, I just don't have the mind for it right now

Salvaged a truckload of firewood for the winter and a bunch of windows for the greenhouse I'm gonna make eventually, all out of someone's trash. Returning to trash-picking has unlocked a special kind of joy

It’s so batshit that we allow ads for medications in this country. “Sure, your doctor is the one with the medical degree 🥱 but you know a good vibe when you see one! 🤩”

Just finished this, I recommend it

An elected Cabinet is more difficult to purchase, more likely to accurately represent our diverse people, and less likely to make an impulsive catastrophic decision. Less likely to be in cahoots with a given agenda. Far more stable that way, and fairer.

I think it is completely insane that we entrust the entirety of executive authority to a simgle person regardless of demographic/party. WAY too corruptable. We should abolish the presidency and VP with it. Transfer executive authority to the Cabinet. Elect each Secretary individually
