For those that may be unfamiliar, a worker co-op is a worker-owned business that practices workplace democracy (one person, one vote). Workers have a say in compensation, working conditions, and the production of goods/services. Worker co-ops are becoming increasingly popular among working people.

"the world's richest man is a nazi junkie who can run a child porn machine because he's friends with the pedophile president who's also sending his gestapo to murder people in the streets" we're living in a garth ennis comic

Hey, check this out. Tag-based consequences abstracting obstacles into a series of discrete narrative complications is clever tech. Codified fictional positioning? Pretty cool stuff.

No joke, as someone who grew up a devout Pentecostal and being in those spaces— this hit the nail right on the head. Some Christians separate themselves entirely from this world, believing they’re not of it, and are instead something superior.

I am not sharing a lot of out of state reporting on this moment, I am sharing this. “We can’t ignore the outright misogyny and homophobia baked into this incident—and yes, erasing Good’s wife from the story of her life and death is also misogyny and homophobia.”

It's been a bit! NULL_SPACE is coming out in 🚨 three weeks 🚨 so let's get into how one of the core interesting mechanical ideas, Complex Challenges, works. 🧵

It's genuinely confusing why, over and over again, organizations that cater to, or are dependent upon, artists writers and creators decide to absolutely fucking enrage their constituency with "AI," only to be required to backtrack after considerable loss of goodwill

All medication should be free. And I'm repeat that for Americans in the audience - ALL medication. If u come at me saying "what about..." the answer is ALL medication should be free.

Looks like the IMLS just posted NOFOs for all their major grant proposals with due dates of March 13th across the board. Great to see that they are inviting proposals for their full slate of programs content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USI...

Traditional solar fails in the windswept north. Two Swedish inventors are betting on aerodynamic resilience to solve the latitude gap

a queer woman lightly mocked an ICE officer so they shot her wife right in front of her. now they’re trying to justify it by making it a capital crime to mock them in many ways that’s a core tenet of right-wing ideology: Lesser People should be forbidden (by force if necessary) to laugh at you

Damn. Rest well, legend.

A spokesperson for T&F said “Researchers should be free to communicate their work in the journal that best suits their research, and proposing to cap [open access] funding threatens that freedom to publish." Bold move to set prices high and then complain about freedom when people can't pay.

Good week for a reminder about the confederate battle flag Minnesota refuses to return to the south

Update: the new mayor of Montreal, Soraya Martinez Ferrada, has cut this program.

Hard to verify numbers at this point but if the real number is anything close to what is being reported then this is one of the worst cases of state violence against its own citizens in the modern era.

💯

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

This is wild and exciting and I think above all else I think I'm excited that it means Take lives and will still keep Kyle's art. And yes, that also factors in the new Arcs expansion and that the split is amicable.

apros of nothing particularly important, gary larson is really cool and is learning digital art now www.thefarside.com/new-stuff

This visibly gets to him so people should keep doing it.

Life in Minnesota is getting invited to the house of a lady who you met in a neighborhood signal chat because she said she needed a dozen whistles and then talking for an hour in her kitchen about how to develop an anti-ICE patrol for her kid’s fucking preschool.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Heyoooo #PortfolioDay! I’m Alex, a Canadian illustrator/cartoonist on the prairies. Mostly focusing on tabling/print sales and taking on mural work at this time while I finish my first graphic novel!! #art 🌱 aplante.com/portfolio aplante.com/shop (🇨🇦) www.inprnt.com/gallery/apla... (elsewhere)

it is absolutely wild to me that australian politicians were so up for banning access to social media for kids, but remain on the platform owned by a nazi and thats generating child and on-consensual porn at will

Part of this announcement is that I’m already working on a SET of Arcs expansions with @colewehrle.bsky.social Here are some pieces to speculate wildly about. #arcsboardgame #boardgames #illustration

We truly can bully AI off the face of the planet.

This is what happens when libraries partner with/rely on for-profit tech companies. When I posted fantasizing about libraries having police-sized budgets, it means libraries could afford to develop their own open source software and not rely on AI slop machines.

Vancouver people: The Vancouver School Board is planning to introduce generative AI into classrooms, here's a petition to ask them not to. actionnetwork.org/petitions/vo...

brothers and sisters, boys and ghouls, we've got a TTRPARG on our hands

A small update to the production process for The Quiet Year - I've abandoned the hand-stamped box in favour of sticker labels. So much quicker and more consistent to assemble! Non-US customers can pick up a copy now! (US customers: soon!) store.buriedwithoutceremony.com

They keep doing the meme, but for real

More hover-flares. I think it's safe to assume that, if I've put obnoxious flares on a a mech, then it hover dashes around like a dom.

This was Uproot Galaxy, a metroidvania with Mario Galaxy & Mario 2 influences. It was canceled 2 years ago after our publisher ran out of money. I'm making this previously internal pre-alpha trailer public because everyone involved has long since moved on... www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUpS...

we must hold liars accountable or nothing changes

At least eight states have deeply concerning anti-library, anti-literature bills on the docket for their legislative sessions so far. Here's what they are and what you can and should do at this point about them–whether or not you live in these states. *WE* save us. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

it’s funny, sure. but this is softening up fox viewers to tolerate more murders of moms because they have the wrong politics.

So Evan Solomon vows to “protect Canadians, especially women and young people” from harm on X, but concedes he isn’t prepared to actually take action to stop X from harming people

Atlas Games is proving that old library equipment doesn't have to end up in a landfill.

Long, Long Gaaaaaaame~ 🎶

Precisely.

genuinely this is such a smart way to conduct yourself as a newly elected mayor just fix small things that have been annoying everybody for ever

It's really this fucking easy. Everything, EVERYTHING is a political choice and we need to remember that.

I know for a fact that there are men who are enraged that I have a hyphenated last name. Men I don't know personally. Because it's a sign that I consider myself an autonomous human, and not my husband's property
