🐌🏳️‍🌈

I'm really looking forward to this workshop.

We offer a Transformative Justice Help Desk consultation service for our partners working on projects & community-wide interventions to respond to, transform & interrupt harm & violence without the state. More info here: www.interruptingcriminalization.com/transformati...

The biggest thing people need to unlearn is the desire to confirm that the majority of people made the same decision, has similar tastes as them. To reconfirm that they are "normal" but also "moral" & "good" And it's such a fucking toxic combination it needs to go down the toilet

Look at all these tools retreading the Leave it to Beaver cliché that "men should be breadwinners and women should be homemakers." That's bullshit. We all know that enbies are breadmakers and agender folks are homewinners. And agender enbies do both. Don't blame me, I don't make the rules!

Ok everyone, to the tune of the Sex Pistol's Anarchy in the UK: "I wanna beeeee... a fungal parasite."

I'm think the "AI" bubble will burst before the end of the year, and I know that AI datacenter construction is way behind what it would need to be for existing, let alone future committments, but make no mistake: *this* is the future the tech bro billionares envision for us. time.com/article/2026...

I've already got the doom pickles (nobody in Aotearoa knows what a kosher dill is, so I make my own). What I want to know is what/who/when/where I have to do to get a jar of monstrous marmite.

the internet has the magical radicalizing potential to reveal to people that Sex Stuff is actually Normal Stuff and that it isn't actually weird for it to share a space with Other Stuff. rich freaks have been scrambling to retube this toothpaste for decades and must not be allowed to succeed

HEY! YOU! Need more 🔞🏳️‍⚧️ trans media in your life? Here are 10+ stories from the #Transhet Jam that I enjoyed: romance and erotica indie books, comics, and games featuring characters of different genders, of which at least one is trans. ➡️ caedestyles.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/f... ⬅️

today in censorship-- discovered that a full episode of 60 minutes-- an episode featuring Scott Pelley reporting on Trump's anti-DEI measures affecting an armed services musical performance-- is... missing from the CBS website. Just gone.

The Fred Rogers Production has started uploading every episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood for free. www.youtube.com/@misterroger...

It cancels existing court cases, shuts down claims that were filed properly and on time, and stops disabled people and their families from asking the courts to decide if they have been underpaid for years of essential care work. our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/st...

NZ Green Party MP Kahurangi Carter is calling for stronger disability and accessibility support, warning that disabled people are being left behind by rising living costs, inaccessible housing, and barriers to essential services. #PartyVoteGreen #nzpol waateanews.com/2026/06/05/h...

This is an incredible story about why you should not use a culturally mindless LLM to write your marketing campaign.

Happy weekend! Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago! 🐙❤️ Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

1400+ candles (electric ones, for fire safety reasons). 20+ cork-boards of hand-written notes, including "burn it all down."

Ok something is going on here and I reckon it's Very Bad www.rnz.co.nz/news/health/...

Gilbert’s WIRED reporting from the Remigration Summit is not a US-Europe story alone. It shows a racist deportation project gaining confidence through American state violence, far-right celebrity, and platform reach. New Zealand has its own version(s), growing at pace. #nzpol

Happy pride month. In 2024, NASA created a pride flag made of various space imagery. For weeks, it was the most-liked image on Bluesky. Under the Trump administration, NASA was forced to delete it. www.southernfriedscience.com/the-story-of...

Today in 1972, Angela Davis acquitted of trumped up charges following worldwide protests. Originally a wood-cut, Ricardo made this image when she was in hiding in 1970 charged with assisting a prison break.  Activists around the country put variations of this slogan in their windows.

Artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away.

SpaceX's value is not only fake, but it's all about its government graft. From 2025:

Quick, antivenom! Where's my copy of Mark Twain's "The War Prayer"? warprayer.org

Using AI for story ideas: brainless behaviour, takes humanity out of the story, can only steal from real writers. Using Tomodachi Life for story ideas: hell yeah, requires interpretation beyond the canned scenarios in the game, uses another human's work to inspire you, decisions via chaos & whimsy.

Oh thank heavens!

NEW: WIRED analyzed Meta's AI app and found NameTag — a hidden facial recognition system designed to identify people via the wearer's smart glasses — has already shipped to over 50 million phones.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

"It is within this garish context, where a helpless humanity buttresses against unreasonable machines, that we can see hints of our future discourses, not only about the anxieties of artificial intelligence but also in a shift in what it means to play a game." 🔥🤯🔥 unwinnable.com/2026/06/04/w...

I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

The most important cultural lesson of the late 80s/early 90s

Part of why I/we are feeling so tired is that there is so much obviously unacceptable shit happening and the channels for even pointing it out have narrowed to what feels like a limit. Quoted post is incredibly damning but hard to imagine how it might get the wide attention it deserves.

Yes!

NZ’s finance minister says that yes, we COULD get rid of child poverty but would that really be for the best, don’t these children need the dignity of work in the long term What kind of insane comment is that Record homelessness and child poverty in Aotearoa and this government is just “ehh”

Artist Ken Gonzales-Day flipped the paradigm. Gonzales-Day takes vintage lynching postcards and photos and removes the murdered human being, the victim, leaving only the perpetrators and spectators. And his work shows that Latino people were also subject to lynching— up to 44% in CA. #BlackSky 🌱

My latest for @truthout.org (co-written w @bdolinar.bsky.social) looks at the grim realities of menstruation behind bars (even in states w laws that provide free fem hygiene products in jails & prisons)

Hey writers, editors, & anyone who uses Google workspace because there’s no other viable alternative - in addition to turning off Smart features, make sure you toggle off this new mess of nonsense hidden in the Admin settings.

I wrote about the new ALA workers' union and why it matters to all library workers in the U.S., whether you're an ALA member or not. 📚 acrlog.org/2026/06/03/t...

Linktree-like website creation tool. Please look at @iznaut.com's feed before deciding the name is sexist: it's intentional, like the name of feminist magazine "Bitch."

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

happy pride 💕

The Games for Blind Gamers community announced a new Making Games Accessible game jam for July. It focuses on making new or existing games more accessible through updates or mods. It's also possible to join by making tools to help make accessible games. caniplaythat.com/2026/06/02/g...

It appears the government won't be satisfied until it has hounded trans people out of society altogether. The Government are choosing every moment and mechanism they can to demonstrate they don't care about their lives. We have to draw the line. Reject the framework.
