its just so disrespectful. watching people with salaried jobs w benefits ask for outrageous amounts of work while they go home at night and sleep and take weekends off. The number of times I have rushed to hit a deadline, sent it in, and then received an out of office vacation reply... ok rant over

Hegseth has repeatedly said he doesn’t think women should be allowed to serve combat roles in the military and now he’s setting the groundwork to remove them. www.npr.org/2026/01/06/n...

What the F is narco terrorism? Is that what the Sacklers are doing?

The space camp bit also kinda made me think back on this comm I did a while back. God I wish I still drew this well.

if i may say so - those sneaky bastards… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The best season for sleeping. 🌨️

gonna be a bit of a hot take but i always kinda find it weird the ultimate goal of an artist is to also create wonderful personal work outside of the art related day job...like where do i find time to read, exercise, relax, watch movies/tv, hang out with others, indulge other hobbies...

We don't talk about it, but once we learned that the most vulnerable were the elderly a whole lot of people decided the shutdowns and even masks weren't worth it. "They're gonna die soon anyway" was a subtext of a lot of the Covid discourse and a big reason so many people shrug off the 1M+ deaths.

there is a lot of intentional minimization of the pandemic but i am really more interested in the unintentional sort. like, how does unmarked grief and suppressed fear sort of get digested and forgotten? how does the memory of lockdown for most people end up leaving those things out?

I had reason to look at newspaper articles from 1923 in 2023...and 5-6 years is the window in which societal grief and fear over an airborne illness turns into "Oh, it happened, gran died, but it wasn't so bad..."

Because of the lack of black and brown people in it.

This is how they are framing him saying that he had not been read his rights until he got into the court room

January 6 was an attack against me and every American who believed in democracy and laws, the fact that none of those criminals were brought to justice proved that this just isn’t a country worth saving anymore

Do not take a job working on defense stuff. You will be helping to kidnap and kill people. Make sure you make choices you will not be ashamed to tell your grandkids about.

I also warned physicists in 2017 that we would be on the chopping block and people said we would be fine How’s that going guys

I was also convinced Donald Trump would win and that he would turn into a fascist dictator who engaged in ethnic cleansing, and I was told that I was paranoid and overreacting Now our communities are facing kidnappings/disappearances, civil rights are in tatters, and he takes bribes in public

And that’s why I’m going to make a billion dollars when- (a comically large cane yanks me offstage)

*letterkenny voice* BARB

I still remember Ma telling me five years ago that if these insurrectionists on January 6th were Black, then they would be dead. Five years later, they are almost all alive, out of jail, and their guy is back in the White House. If that’s not White privilege, then I don’t know what is.

Bad news everyone: I've been vored by kirby

Gotta say to the reply guys that y’all have been telling me “your analysis is a stretch“ about presidential politics since 2016 and perhaps at this point you can see why I think you should shut the fuck up and let Black women make some educated guesses in public

Psychological science is in crisis. We are losing funding, fighting uphill against censorship, and watching as our students, colleagues, neighbors, and friends are attacked because of their nationality, gender expression, or skin color. Such is life under fascism. 2/9

Did not think I'd witness a Nature journal publish a piece calling the US a fascist country in the title / abstract. Thanks to Lauren and the rest of the team for picking up this crucial fight — in this paper and elsewhere. Please read and share widely.

'I went to Roanoke Island, and no body there knew you' is a sick burn I'm going to use if i ever meet Croatoan, and they beef with me

Anyone need anything before i put myself in the garbage can?

After lots of blood, sweat, and tears—AND EVEN MORE BLOOD—here it is: the full 40-minute pilot of EL GUAPO VS. THE NARCO VAMPIRES!!! youtu.be/O-zZqrdybGE?...

This is what I like seeing in Indie Animation: not JUST broadcast-quality animation (though there's some of that here too)! I want to see ideas, concepts and characters that are crazy, dynamic, touching, bold and fun! I wanna feel like new shit is possible and EL GUAPO fucking delivers 🔥🔥❤️😤

First time my mum went to my dad's parents house she noticed my granddad had a party hat on. Seemed odd as there was no party. "Why is he wearing that?" she asked my dad later. "It's because he's so forgetful," said my dad. "My mum makes him wear it every time he's switched the immersion heater on."

"If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money." I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.

The fuck

There’s so much Miller on the timeline, cleansing with Dolly Parton and a cat ✨

I hate it when my boyfriend turns out to be the bearer of the ancient curse and must leave our village to save the world, but I love to watch lights flash on the horizon and imagine he’s doing a good job while my new boyfriend clumsily paws at my tits like a nursing puppy

Finding out why Parker Malloy was apparently harassed off this site does not sound like a long term business model and/or place for useful conversations or fun hangouts or for journalists to break news it sounds like the clock is ticking on the seriousness/usefulness/fun/structural integrity.

only a few more slots to reach my goal so I am cutting these down to 50$ USD per slot! I only have 48 hours to reach my goal so please share!

It's never too late to start wearing a mask. It's never too late to stop using Chat GPT. It's never too late to start supporting your community. It's never too late to do better.

I'm a streamer now

We don't have the disability education infrastructure to support a growing number of kids who are going to be disabled because their parents didn't get them vaccines against illnesses that can lead to the development of disabilities.

Which do you think would be worse: to have your creative work hated or ignored?

I am not passing my cat's vibe check

Currently working on an album of songs i sing about my cat to my cat, with emotional key changes and everything

100000% Porco Rosso! Better a pig than a fascist!!

Rejection sensitive dysphoria has got me self-isolated in a small room, certain that everyone hates me, especially you.

More game developers should study the visual language and techniques used in opera scenery and opera staging

If you're a game dev who's never been to an opera - consider it! You'll be blown away by what they do with sets and set transitions and conveying big stories with very little on stage. And it's probably way cheaper than you think to go. And you absolutely don't have to speak the language of the work

American diplomacy never meant anything when you have the largest army in the world and hundreds of military bases on every continent. It was always might if you wouldn't play ball with the West. The facade is the only thing gone bc a dying empire won't bother to justify itself anymore.
