it's not FOR us

whole buncha sketches of Finch, my funny lil guy.. been doing a lot of figure drawing studies recently and Finch is a good subject for practice

If you only read one story today, make it @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social's breakdown of the Saudi-backed EA buyout, which includes thoughts from multiple business analysts and experts who explain what the $55B deal could mean for EA workers, its video games, and the wider industry. Essential reading.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

it is october 7. for two years hamas has been offering to return israel's hostages in exchange for an israeli withdrawal from gaza to which benjamin netanyahu has said "no," ignoring the hostages' families demands and prioritizing the destruction of gaza over saving the hostages lives.

Now more than ever

I am not exaggerating when I make these claims. With sobriety and clarity, I say that this is a country which has adopted such a "them or us" mentality, it is willing to murder millions and accelerate a potential apocalypse out of sheer flailing spite.

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I don't think people who aren't the target of such laws realize how upsetting it is to simply read headlines like this it adds up over a lifetime, you know to know you are so hated, to have to always be on the lookout for creeps and chuds who would do you harm given the chance it's tiring

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

31 Days of Horror: The Collector (1965) a surprisingly nuanced and beautiful looking movie about how you'll never win against a man who's setting the rules substack.com/home/post/p-...

31 Days of Horror: Patrick a film i wanted to like, didn't, that made me think about disability rights more than it probably wanted me to rorschachisgay.substack.com/p/31-days-of...

Bluesky engineers when their website is successful

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

forum wars took over the government. the 10,000-page thread spilled out into the streets. people are getting their doors blown open and hogtied so that nerds can win an online argument. they tanked the dollar and fucked the economy permanently to own you

Even in a ruthless capitalistic context this is weird behaviour. It really disincentivizes me from using the platform. I already get an equal amount of transphobic harassment on here. On Twitter it's Nazis and here it's liberal cryptonazis

The year is 2025. There are three social networks remaining. They are run by Dweeb Lowtax, Tweaker Lowtax, and Girlboss Lowtax. You have to pick at least one.

this is like half of r/ups now

31 Days of Horror: Possum A film I love that is a deeply tormented, dark story about abuse rorschachisgay.substack.com/p/31-days-of...

31 Days of Horror: The Curse of Frankenstein I tried again to like a Hammer Horror film, but found instead a strangely dry take on the novel with very little monster or humanity in it open.substack.com/pub/rorschac...

31 Days of Horror: Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker a hidden gem of a movie about homophobia, oppression, and incest in the suburbs open.substack.com/pub/rorschac...

31 Days of Horror: The Poughkeepsie Tapes I'm watching a horror movie everyday this month. I watched The Poughkeepsie Tapes and wrote about why I love it and why I think it's not very good rorschachisgay.substack.com/p/31-days-of...

Sophia reporting from the Conscience Both Italy and Spain have withdrawn their ships, abandoning the Global Sumud Flotilla to be intercepted by the Israelis

seems like we're interrupting something... 🐊🐊🐊 #art #ocs #monsterdatingsim

7 minutes ago: “As most of the boats on the Global Sumud Flotilla live stream have gone dark, One boat, Captain Nikos, sends hearts and peace signs as they get closer to the naval blockade.”

BREAKING: Union in Italy has announced a general strike on October 3, as per their promise if the Gaza flotilla was attacked, as it has been now.

A California union of 30,000 nurses, pharmacists, therapists and other health workers at Kaiser Permanente have authorized a strike. Kaiser is one of the biggest health conglomerates in the US, and their contract with these workers has expired. A strike could begin at any time.
