The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.

Who saved this post???? I hope that was an accident because that's creepy as hell

"Um, not all uses of AI --" Bro, nobody cares that you use it to smooth actions between animation cells or whatever. We're talking about people making CSEM in public

Environmental impact is too abstract. "The funny haha video machine is committing federal crimes against children and should be taken down by the FBI" is how we get the grandmas and aunties on our side

I invite all of you to try this!!

I'll be sharing it through 2026, at least until I get full time work. Thanks again to everyone that's supported me and my campaign this year 🙏🏾💖 gofund.me/beeb65997

Please continue to share and donate if possible. Thanks so much 🙏🏾💖

Just going to start saying "Ew, only pedos use AI" around the normies in my life and hope that shame by association works better than logic or evidence

If you like the books, podcasts, videos or posts any help you feel able to give would be much appreciated - I promise the next book is going to be good too! ko-fi.com/A736KL3

In 2026 we're not sharing grifters to dunk on them. We're not spreading hate on the skyline in order to make a point about that hate. We're not quote skeeting small accounts with bad takes. We're just not gonna promote hostile stupid thought to our friends

I finished reading two books, set up my planner for the month, and deleted all the addictive/distracting games off my phone so I can only play mahjong or fiddle with my Tamagotchis. Now I feel pretty sufficiently prepared to avoid brain rot going into the new year, lol

Hi, I'm an 18-wheeler skidding on 1-35W during a rainstorm 🙂

Very excited to make a big stack of comics to read over the next few weeks 😌🌸

nice try Loc-Nar

I spent all of 2025 ready to go No Contact with my family. I had a message saved on my phone that I was prepared to send before I blocked all of their numbers and social media accounts Now, I'm just like, bleh. Whatever. My parents try so little to have a relationship that it's almost laughable

If you can, please help support my dear friend Adham and his family 💜

happy birthday all horses in the northern hemisphere

Honestly I’ll be happy if they fix it because it feels like a graveyard of deleted Palestinians

I know whenever Bluesky fixes the bug where you keep your followers even if their accounts are deleted I’ll have the biggest drop in followers of anyone on this app 😭

My lib brother keeps sending me updates from his Indivisible local chapter work and I have to remember that if this is keeping him engaged in the community, sober, and on his meds, it's a net positive, even as I angrily chew on my phone about it

We're open for fiction submissions! We publish unsettling bad time stories that straddle the horror, fantasy, and science fiction spectrum. But genre is made up so if you have a dark weird horrible story that could be a fit, send it in and let us worry about it. No closing date, open indefinitely.

I got bored today and decided to paint this doll that I got last year. I also changed out her eye chips and gave her big goofy ears 😌🫶

You can help displaced Palestinian families surviving the ongoing genocide by supporting The Sameer Project, a Palestinian-led aid organization that helps provide medical care, tents, food, warm clothing, and other urgent necessities

They were organic and then more organized. They gave people a target and got millions of people involved in direct action at a time when the elite were absolutely capitulating left and right. They led to the President of the US having to do a car show on the white house lawn. Etc etc etc

It's really really hard to see clearly while you're still in the midst of struggle but to me the Tesla protests were essential, impactful and are strangely overlooked.

Something that many (at least online) seem to forget it how high this man was flying in January and where he is now. Yes he is richer and still terrible but the Tesla protests pierced the sense that he was beyond reach. And that matters a lot. Thanks to everyone who joined those ongoing protests.

Why, yes, there *will* be a write-up about KPop Demon Hunters in my upcoming "stories that lived rent-free in my head in 2025" newsletter piece, don't you worry!!

Taking time to take stock, reflect on my life, and think about what matters this year By which I mean watch KPop Demon Hunters and cry

In my last essay of the year, I discuss Frankenstein, fiction, authorship, responsibility, the art that we owe to ourselves, and the art we owe to the things we create.

My favorite music video of all time, for real, no joke, is Björk's All Is Full Of Love This video has made me weep for decades

I'm really proud of the essays I wrote so far this year. I think I've done some of my best work discussing video games, manga, film, and the complex intersections of art and life If you've enjoyed my work at all, I would really appreciate any shares 💜

You can also get my entire body of work for free until January 1st! So there's that!

This high school teacher and horror video essayist I follow offers a really interesting big picture take on Weapons and the discourse surrounding it. His perspective as someone who has lived through traumatic events in the classroom is very useful in grounding some of the discourse beyond rhetoric

There are so many to list, but there's also only one
