production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Your in her DMs I'm doing this

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

its just been downhill since then also it does have a tiny little curly tail

It's amazing that 4 congressional Dems voted to make it *illegal for married women to vote*, and the rest of the Dems didn't respond "ok yeah you are not allowed to call yourself a Democrat anymore, we're not going to help fundraise for you, just go fuck yourself"

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

If your Irish American imagine if in the 1800s ice existed and they beat and humiliated Irish immigrants fleeing the great famine.

Minneapolis artists are employing the full power of their creativity and community to fight against the ICE invasion of their city, and their message is loud and clear: Get the hell out.

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

Test prints have been made. I need to tweak a few things here and there before they’re finished and then I’ll order stickers and throw them up on my website. #sciart #paleoart

I wrote about the Epstein files and what it teaches us about the rot in the art world.

"When a corrections officer sexually assaults me, ain't that intimate partner violence? When a guard uses his authority to coerce me, ain't that abuse of power? When the state denies me protection from violence, ain't I a woman who deserves safety?" www.theflytrapmedia.com/aint-we-wome...

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

--and Thiel heads Palantir---Palantir is responsible for creating the facial recognition apps for ICE, so they can add you to a database, and they can also access your personal information: your bank account, your home and work address, your entire profile. DOGE provided Thiel with all that info.

I said "ooh I like your gold necklace" one time in front of my friends and they called me "Covetous Smaug" for months

People become huge babies if you tell them they shouldn’t use slurs. It’s so pathetic

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

"Billionaire Peter Thiel advised Jeffrey Epstein on potential investments in Palantir ... a Palantir spokeswoman said the company 'was not aware of Epstein ever investing in or being a shareholder in Palantir’ and that Palantir 'has never had a business relationship with Ehud Barak’.” Sure. 🤨

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

Don't forget if you're a furry there's several cons coming up in March, April, and May including Texas Furry Fiesta and Furry Weekend Atlanta. I made patterns like these because I was never going to afford a fursuit or cast mask & they're VERY fun at cons.

This is your PSA about mask building and projects: You need to start at LEAST a week before your holiday, party, convention, or event if you've never made one of my masks! Starting 2 weeks ahead is best so you have a relaxed time making & painting. Mardi Gras is the 17th! paleopanthera.com/masks

We lose news, we lose reality, and we lose history every day that we don't support citizen journalists.

Watch the new Muppet Show. It’s good for your bones. 🐸🐷 #erma #animal #muppets

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Um, this seems pretty important

This 32 page disturbing handwritten letter was found in the Epstein files. It shows how Trump and Epstein were involved with the Saudi Elites. Hiding behind the word ‘allegations’ is negligence and the DOJ doesn’t get to look away. Accountability is long overdue.” #USDemocracy #Pinks

Racism? In MY homophobic chicken? It's more likely than you think!

"This Whole Thing Smacks Of Jeffrey" i holler as i overturn a brazier at the billionaire party and turn this Eyes Wide Shut into Eyes Wide Shit

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
