The thing that kills me is there was a working escalator right next to them. They could have backed up literally two feet and gotten on the other one.

TIL Jasmine Crockett is 44 years old.

"CK wasn't a white supremacist! ..... But all in light of his death, we're going to pull this show about killing white supremacists."

"Now is simply not the time to say that white supremacists might be bad! And please don't ask us when the time will arrive."

The rapture was supposed to happen on Bisexual Awareness Day and that's very funny.

If you're looking for a little queer community thinking about books and kindness and what important texts *actually* say, come join us in the comment threads of @meakoopa.bsky.social's podcast, it's super great and I've made a number of real friends over the years 💝

Turned 40 today. I'm okay with that, all things considered.

Enthusiastically seconding this recommendation. Do check out the time stamps for some content warnings, though. Also—because I cannot say this often enough—THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH AUTISM. MY LOVED ONES WHO HAVE AUTISM ARE NOT BROKEN.

I really fucking hate that these ghouls named it The Midway Blitz like it's a fucking Mario Kart track.

A good a day as any to watch and share this: youtu.be/8BIcAZxFfrc?...

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks

so much of what this administration is doing is based on creating the perception that he is inevitable and unstoppable and it’s not true and he can lose and it’s important that people see that because the only way he does win is if everyone gives up

Some pretty big news! Announcing Au Literary Management, where stories are as good as gold! Follow us over at @auliterarymgmt.bsky.social for updates.

This is true and this is rude.

You know, if they're right about the Rapture being this week and they're right about who is going to the Rapture... a lot of my anxieties might be literally disappearing soon.

Today marks 10 years since I met @fotocub.bsky.social in person and interviewed for the job that would get me to Chicago and out of Indiana.

When we say beyond parody, we mean this.

We're watching a video on electric trains and the guy keeps pronouncing shinkansen like it rhymes with Wisconsin and I keep laughing.

ICYMI, Charlie kirk was a racist transphobic neonazi creep & i’ll stand by Sage.

There are two apocalyptic fantasies I see floating around these days. One is about rugged individualism and destruction of social responsibility. The other, which I vastly prefer, is about community care.

The most important skill for mass-casualty events isn't being a lone hero; it's being able to work with other people

Just had an incredible text convo with one of my German cousins commiserating over EVERYTHING. It's really cathartic.

i want to stress: i firmly believe that we, just us normal people, can push back against this global wave of censorship. we CAN do this. there may be temporary setbacks, lost battles, but i do firmly believe that with sustained action, we can make our futures better for art and human expression.

God, Rose's work is so cool.

#SaveSpeech US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230. Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

Fascists treat debate like you're trying to plead with them for permission to exist, and they can withhold it and say you didn't convince them. It's not about the facts, truth, or human rights to them. It's a performance to indoctrinate people and put a target on their opponents.

So please miss me with this idea that every idea needs to be aired in the marketplace. As soon as we accept that a person's humanity is debatable, they're already not an equal human being anymore. We've already lost.

You need to support the true CK.... The Cardboard Kingdom series, a kids graphic novel trilogy I cowrote that is available now through Random House!!

What a lot of people still don't understand is that the technology was developed using copyrighted material, so even if you could make one based only in your own stuff,( I'm pretty sure you can), it still exists because they stole from everybody else.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

"From hell's heart I stab at thee!" 🎵 here in 🎵 Duck Berg

People are acting surprised that Michael Eisner was willing to speak out against fascism, but to use a movie from his own tenure at Disney, he's basically this:

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes by Crosby Stills and Nash. Some Jimmy Buffet live in concert recordings if he was looking for something light hearted.

This is kind of a joke in my upcoming fantasy novel, lol.

At the end of this clip, you can see what appears to be a clearly collared pastor/priest/minister getting hit with pepper balls as he attempts to flee.

Immediate blocks for anyone I see on here posting BE PEACEFUL while people are hit with tear gas and shot with rubber bullets.

Now is a great time to back up those “Trans Rights!” statements by hiring trans people so they have the ability to afford to live.

Oh NOW they're worried about a single victim of gun violence.

The Heritage Foundation is one of the worst organizations in the modern world. A cesspit of sick nazi fucks. Every single idea, every single person who comes out of it makes the world a worse place. Creepy crawly death cult. Yeah I’m not very fond of them.

Okay, to put an even sharper point on this: they are not even 9 months in and they are openly censoring *Jimmy fucking Kimmel* because he poked fun at the president for lack of empathy. These are desperate moves. They are desperate because they are weak and people are naming it.

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

Probably worth us all saying: Charlie Kirk was a bad person, who said bad things and had bad values.

it's a small thing right now but if the worst people in the country are upset by a failure to mourn properly they will collapse where they stand when the day comes and there's actual spontaneous celebrations

There should be no forgiveness for Ezra Klein, Gavin Newsom, or anyone else who whitewashed Charlie Kirk's image in the wake of his death. They participated in a cleanup job that is facilitating Kirk's status as a "martyr." They have had a hand in the harm the administration will do in Kirk's name.
