Uh uh. No way. I'm going to bed before y'all make me have to Google another racist white person.

Funny how there’s a big tent for conservatives but the tent small as hell for anyone wanting to make things better for people

My name is Diana Moreno. I’m a Queens mom, an immigrant organizer, and a proud democratic socialist with @socialists.nyc. I’m running to replace @ZohranKMamdani.bsky.social in the Assembly in the upcoming special election to deliver on his affordability agenda and fight the rising tide of fascism.

If they really wanted to appeal to women they should have made a drink called Monster Fucker.

Literally just talked about this fact with my mama yesterday because none of her uncles or her father got theirs for their service.

Not to mention authors don't get just ONE purchase. Libraries tend to purchase multiple copies of popular books, they also buy the physical audiobook, and audiobook streaming and ebook rights. Obviously not of EVERY book purchased, but requested/super popular ones they could buy all of these.

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

to safely dispose of these hats, eat them. natural fibers — such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen — breakdown in the digestive track. synthetics do not. thus, if you eat your hat, the synthetics will pass through the other side. smush through the poop to find the synthetic fibers and recycle them.

Dec 6 from 12pm-6pm, we’re hosting a small holiday market here at Fantom with local artists selling their wares, plus warm winter refreshments and more 🎁 come stuff your stockings!

Being a smaller creator , getting my project out there is tough. Trying to reach the vampire, twilight, and black anime nerd fans that want to see a black girl at the center of the story and vampire romance haha. If you're out there give my pilot a shot!

"I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT." If you're in the United States, that is ALL you should EVER say to law enforcement besides asking if you're being detained, and identifying yourself in a stop and ID state.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!" Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource. When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

It's a losing battle, but I really want people to stop using the term "cabal" to describe Epstein's circle The whole matter is already so tricky when it comes to antisemitism that adding an antisemitic term to your critique doesn't really help matters But whatever, no one cares

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

I know it's really about control, but the way these evil monsters talk about banning books to save the children out of one side of their mouths, and downplay an actual pedophile out of the other is rage inducing

Talking about lettering is giving me war flashbacks to repeatedly asking my editor to work time for lettering into my book schedule and they just. Kept leaving it out. I finally gave up asking. Anyway. When I say I'm working on my last graphic novel...

My most strongly held comics opinion (I hesitate to say "opinion," because it's a fact): lettering should be the first finished thing done, not the last. Done after (or along with) roughs and finalized before pencils. Pencils and inking should be done AROUND the lettering.

And there's nothing at all wrong with working with a letterer! Letterers are great! But they should be brought it at the beginning, not the end. bsky.app/profile/mrty...

Ugh hate to post this but bringing this back to just get us out of a “small” hole. We have money coming in but it is a struggle to get caught up Keeping the same gfm for transparency sake gofund.me/d63b5b894

TFW when Insurance is *the* key channel spreading climate risk throughout the financial system, via @climatecabinet.org's @jordanhaedtler.bsky.social with @kostyack.bsky.social and @spears.bsky.social. 2008 vibes, folks.

KIDS ARE PEOPLE

When Covid caused NYC offices to hollow out what they found was that yeah the core business districts suffered but the neighborhoods where people actually live, thrived. All WFH means is rethinking business districts, not cities.

I got into ECCC Artist Alley which is great but I'm going to have to give it some thought. I love ECCC but now that I live on the east coast, west coast conventions are a bigger financial undertaking that might outweigh the benefits of going.

Lot of people are already passing this around with the usual "WHY ISN'T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING" shrieks, while ignoring the fact that the article literally says that this is a *significant* decrease from the warming that we were on track for even a few years ago.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

I do think to myself now and then that I would probably make more money than I know what to do with if I could convince myself to become a bigger piece of shit

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

America has long feared it would suffer the same fate as the Roman republic, but never quite truly appreciated how utterly absurd Roman elites had become by the time of the late republic.

I remember during Trump's first administration, maybe in 2017 when it was day after day of increasingly outrageous developments, and someone just randomly tweeted, with no context, "when's it gonna matter though!" and that question has lived in my head every since

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

in JD's defense he is the authority on uselessness

Real fun how the US government kept telling the public that it couldn't raise taxes on "job creators" cuz that would hurt jobs and now the US government is getting rid of jobs.

Hey, folx! If your company is hiring a design, UX or marketing role, I'd love for you to reach out. The market is tough right now, and personal referrals mean the world!

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

here we go- we are being evicted, and our next court date is tomorrow. i am pretty sure we will be forced to leave. the cheapest apartments i can find are $2700, and most places want 40x that in income!!! maybe through some miracle we can raise that much gofund.me/ee5a3b747

I think this really underlines the fact that people choose racism; it doesn't choose them. Like, people claiming confederate flags as their heritage. no one has to do that. it's not some sort of genetic destiny. lots of people reject their parents and look to other models for lots of reasons. 1

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

@niadavenport.bsky.social has been an incredible part of the SSF community. She's someone who has helped many others, including myself. Please donate, if you can, to help her and her family through this awful loss. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ni...

Everyone… I just need to rent a place to replace our tent. My family has fallen very sick because of it, Don’t forget us even with the ceasefire it’s an illusion to divert attention from us. Our suffering has worsened, the situation is extremely dire and I’ve lost everything except my trust in you.

1. This is stolen land. We have no moral right to exclude anyone. 2. "Illegal immigration" is a product of 20th century racism; your forebears came "legally" because there was no such thing as "illegal immigration" then. 3. Open borders are good. Borders are racist and colonial violence.
