Friendly reminder to never assume people aren't doing something just because they're not posting about it, especially in a surveillance state. 🧵

The Senate will vote on the DHS funding bill next week and it can’t pass without Democratic votes. That means Democrats have real leverage to rein in ICE, but they won’t use it unless we force them to. Call your senators: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

[grabs Pluribus with both hands] this one is for ME

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

pull 4 tarot cards. this is your crew: The Brains, The Muscle, The Vixen, The Heart. pull a 5th. this is The Score. decide what it is and why you want it. shuffle The Score back into the deck. this is The Collection. on each turn, each crewmember pulls an item from The Collection. now find The Score

Enshittification of the internet pushing people to zines and other paper materials. The zine scene is definitely growing—I've seen local classes in zine making, kids and their parents taking it up. www.cbc.ca/arts/print-i...

A bit sad to me specifically on how people take on zines, sketchbooks, fanfic and fanart. Like, "not accepting starting artists" level of insane standards. All of those are genres born with trying to get away from stablished publishing and its standards. Let yourself loose and try experimenting.

"Check on your trans frie-" No. Give them money. Hire them. Buy them a video game.

I am so close to making a four hour video essay about the sliding scale of LGBT+ representation in video games, soooooo close

Epic Games not only didn't do Rainbow Royale this year (a Fortnite event for the LGBTQIA+) but they're also encouraging folks to play Hogwarts Legacy & now this. Killing a skin on sight is not enough since that's literally the point of the game, just stop playing it. They know what they're doing.

Because I know I have many friends in these states — please consider giving blood to help support RI hospitals after the shooting at my alma mater. Channel anger into doing something, even if it’s just spreading the word.

I laughed at my coworker earlier in Dollar Tree for getting nostalgic about trifold posterboard. Now I’m awake at 1am thinking about how I’d organize my presentation about the evolution of Patrick Stump’s vocals.

sitting up in bed to text my mom: hey ever think about how Patrick’s “whoas” and “oh woahs” is just pop punk scatting?

“He looks like an angel” “why are you downgrading him? He looks like a god” is a truly insane line to throw in a show about football. (Guess who’s finally watching Ted Lasso? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Totally normal midnight text from my wife ❤️

me: oh wow I can’t believe I stayed up late on a work night to watch Definctland’s new 4-hour video essay. I should put on one of my commonly watched videos so I can just doze off. also me: [puts on Bismuth’s 5-hour video essay on Mario 64’s A Button Challenge] perfect :)

It’s ok you can say it

Trump has the lowest approval ratings of his career, he looks like a wet burnt potato, his base is in civil war, and he’s gushing over Zohran because he’s in steep cognitive decline and forgot MAGA has made him boogeyman #1. The crash out is every bit as good as I’d dreamed.

my wife helpfully reminded me we got engaged two years after meeting in Project Sparrow but we failed to remember we got engaged on MEAT TANK day!

Thinking about the Moralists in Disco Elysium this morning. No reason…

If I turn on the last two Hazbin Hotel s2 episodes to find Patrick Stump didn’t get a single Abel character song / lead vocal role ALL SEASON, I will riot.

What’s gayer? Homosexuality or whatever the hell was happening In Hazbin Hotel S2E4?

writing a larp where all of the character sheets are moodboards good fucking luck

Taylor Swift wishes she could write lines as metal as the ones I wrote for [checks hand] … Kingdom Hearts 3 soriku fanfic

Worth noting for WA, BTW: "House Bill 1321, sponsored by Rep. Sharlett Mena (D-Tacoma), requires the Governor’s permission for National Guard troops from other states, territories or districts to enter Washington, unless they are mobilized by the president." governor.wa.gov/news/2025/go...

I’d love to know what portion of the props budget went to those tribe idols because godDAMN they’re slick. #Survivor49

Okay I NEED someone to gif Jake/Canadian Chippendales doing the scissoring motion so I can show it to everyone when asked why I put guys on a fantasy team named “Lesbian Instincts” #Survivor49

It’s #Survivor49 premiere night for the west coast which means time to decide if Budget Ryan Reynolds or Butch Type-A Eldest Daughter is my second pick for my @purplerockpod.bsky.social Fantasy League team.

Really hard to go back to editing after yesterday…

Yknow I’d be a much happier person if I let myself write more Disco Elysium analysis nobody asked for. My wife is playing her first run and the voices in my head want to roll the dice to see how feral they can make me sound about this game.

Vince saying him and Morgan have never disagreed on anything before this……….. are the 7 Vorgan fans who have watched y’all argue in circles for weeks about every single game move a joke to you #bb27

The Body(tm) is navigating a Space(tm) to escape a Situation(tm) …and you are the light that leads it. 🕯️

I’m really glad I’ve stuck by not being a #bb27 blogger so I can save my energy for Survivor 49 when everyone can be a little less weirdly parasocial about the players. …I’m also breaking my BB silence this ONCE because I’m going insane over feeds being down and the wild speculating. 🫠 ☠️ 🤦

oh this is fun, i don’t get to pull this card a lot: i am a lambda award winning writer and i think you should read whatever degenerate garbage filth you get your hands on. itch, ao3, whatever. do not let publishers and editors determine what is acceptable to reach you.

WHY did NOBODY tell me about Fallout 4’s building mechanics??? I need more concrete and glass but I’ve gained two levels just building sapphic quote art installations for my lesbian commune.

So I have a whole essay on this I started writing over a year ago, but stop pretending rehabilitative justice is your value if you believe people shouldn't have access to *any* form of community or relationships. Not saying it's wrong to feel that way, but those two things are inherently at odds.

Thank you to every single person who participated and donated to this year's Speedathon! We are so proud of our community for raising so much for @transequality.bsky.social ($8,322.99) and can't wait to see what we can raise in the future.

tranquilityzine.bigcartel.com Because this zine doesn’t have a Bluesky, I gotta promote this MXTX Fashion zine I was in here! Especially because I spent SO MUCH TIME researching Chinese fashion and mudsilk for my piece. Preorder end July 31st!

If I’ve ever ghosted or forgotten to reply, I’m so sorry 😔 Between my personal life , work, and volunteering chaos, I’m always running like a chicken without a head. I care deeply but tragically, I also need to be poked sometimes and it’s very time-consuming💕 Just know I still care.

I just want to realize that I am in fact thoughtful, responsible, and creative, but unfortunately my brain cannot see itself in a mirror and has decided that I need to take on even more shit regardless of what I'm actually doing in order to feel like I'm useful to anyone

In honor of Pride, throw back Tuesday to when I was in the Bioware discord before the release of Dragon Age Veilguard and got to witness this incredible exchange.

me staring at the list of 150+ applicants to vend at Pride: just remember, the Crisis Core zine project prepared you for this……….

Kamilla and Kyle’s reaction as Eva talked about the Shauhin vote lol they’re about to eat them up. #Survivor #Survivor48

oh god. I have no idea what my identity is anymore now that Survivor is over. Time to hibernate this account I guess until Big Brother drops.

… was… was he holding that face for WEEKS just for s goddamn KNOCK KNOCK JOKE???? #survivor48

I cannot believe Kamilla is winning survivor from the jury box #Survivor48
