Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

COVID continues kicking my ass 4 weeks deep, the tide of fascism is breaking me down emotionally, but hey I'm trying to work on a silly art project about orgasms so that's something nice

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Every trans person knows the struggle

🧵 Casey rightly/reasonably goes on to compare the GC movement with an end times cult predicting someone else's doom, but I'd just like to add another correlate. It's also a -vengeance- fantasy. It's nearly identical to the classic fascist 'day of the rope' where all 'wrongs' will be righted.

I and trans writers before me have gone repeatedly into tracing the trajectory of the 2010s, where we went from the first bathroom bill in NC resulting mass boycotts to over 1000 anti-trans bills being introduced by 2025. There was a deliberate, targeted shift in discourse!

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach. You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING. You do nothing? You get nothing. Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH. reps.fyi

My "make establishment nervous" pick is The Dispossessed by Ursula K LeGuin, my realistic answer is my nearly-disintegrating-from-rereads copy of Little Women my grandma gave me when I was 11 that still has her handwriting in the inside cover.

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

the problem with dedicating campaign funds toward charitable endeavors is what if you lose and then all you’ve done is helped people in need in your community?

The reason for the season:

Selections for today's viewing. Not pictured: Tokyo Godfathers, The Lion in Winter (library had neither, streaming-only), no Eyes Wide Shut this year because I Just Can't with the everything. Hohoho.

Old man Potter, the evil billionaire from It’s a Wonderful Life calls the working families of Bedford Falls “a bunch of garlic eaters.” The oligarch class has always tried to squeeze in new slurs to keep the rest of us down. Merry Christmas to all of us garlic eaters. There are no rich men in heaven

Fair use.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

Bro, you doing alright, bro? I saw the autosave icon come on just as you entered the room

solidarity with trans people and death to fascism

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know: you are loved you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

I had to watch Alabama's ban on gender affirming care for minors go into effect. It impacted multiple people in my life. It is cruel beyond words. Pick up the phone. Call all of your reps. Don't tell me it won't matter--I call Tommy Tuberville. EVERY FUCKIN' TIME. I won't gift them silence on this.

#OtD 18 Dec 1974 the radical Danish Solvognen theatre group, dressed as Santas, provoked a near-riot in the Magasin department store when they gave out free toys from the shelves to children. When they were arrested by police, the children began to cry www.tiktok.com/@workingclas...

Keep pressure on your Senators, no matter what we think their votes will be, and thank your reps who voted against and tell them to keep it up and absolutely call the ones who voted in favor to shame and tell them they're disgraces.

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.

Looking longingly at my materials and notebooks where I've laid out 20 more large-scale tarot collages, and then clocking into my day job for 10-11hrs so my family can afford food and housing instead of working on my art 🥲

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

What do you even say but thank you?

More ideas. We’re not going to run out of ideas but generative AI is a tool for people who don’t want to be involved in the step between idea and art. People whose own ideas will never evolve or become more complex because they don’t actually want to interact with or examine them.

It's time for slower art. The constant churn and grind pushed by techno capitalism has reached its inevitable conclusion with AI slop. Let's make our best work and be patient with our process. Let's release art that's worth stopping for and savoring. Let's show each other what humans can do

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

An experienced organizer I really respect once reminded folks "you can't always win, but you can always, always inflict a cost. Those add up."

The Meyerowitz Stories is deeply Important to me, but I refuse to pay for Netflix so I have to rely on a bootleg with bad audio for my annual Thanksgiving viewing. Usually I just buy a movie I love on DVD but the only copies you can find are screeners on ebay I can't justify the cost for.

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.

“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.” really important thread ⬇️
