"Film has been a pivotal way for me to learn about Cuba," says programmer Victoria Gutierrez. Juan Carlos Garcia Martinez details the new Cine Cubano series at The Cardinal Bar as well as the venue's sustaining connections to the island nation. The next screenings are on Sunday, March 8. 🎞️

my spirituality is not generally of this type, but here's my professional analysis: bitch has developed full-blown leprosy. contagious to those around him, must be cast out for the community's safety. must flee from his home. must atone

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

I'm reading about Bluesky discourse on X. I'm reading about X discourse on Bluesky. I'm listening to the official Television Show Podcast after I finish the Television Show. I had a brief moment of introspection and I threw up a live tadpole

I am swallowed up by the Netherworld, pure and living in the horizon. It is well with me and with them, it is pleasant for me and for them, within the arms of my father, within the arms of Atum. (PTF)

big thought: sometimes I feel like people want to get rid of the labels for a thing (labels can be constricting!) w/out getting rid of the underlying reasons we started labeling in the first place, which ultimately leaves a lot of people without language to define their experience, self, and history

This bike shop reopened as a worker-owned cooperative in Brooklyn, New York City. Now its workers own the store and have direct control over their schedule, compensation, and working conditions. This kind of freedom is possible for every working person. It's called economic democracy, and it works.

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane

Anywho, there's no better time than now to put your ideas out there and invite other people to do things with you. Might as well try. You don't have to know everything before starting. You can just start.

household argument over which one of us is Frog and which is Toad. I'm insisting I'm Frog even though I know very well I'm Toad (for this is what Toad would do)

say what you will about callow stupid and overreaching incarnations of trauma discourse but apparently actual adults still believe that you can just do genocides, decimate populations, murder at scale abroad etc without that having any material or libidinal consequences whatsover

he sold only 1 painting in his lifetime and died young. The fact we let this happen to artists still is a tragedy. He was worth something, but many in his community let him down cuz they couldnt see his value.

"click here to verify the email address associated with your account" Why? So the trolls can murder me easier ??

love that referential memory means that current events being a dumber repeat of shit going on when i had nearly given up getting out of the really bad relationship means i get to sift through all that again while this shit is happening & someone (the govt this time) is telling me who to be yet again

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of every trans person in the state. They’re being told to surrender their current licenses and get new ones listing their birth sex. No grace period. Get caught driving with your now-invalid license and you’re looking at jail and a fine.

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

It's insane that we ever let anyone use the phrase "quirked up white boy with the sauce" about any man who wasn't David Byrne. We're being punished for the mistakes of our past selves

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

a speech i give regularly at my job (don't ask) is A Business Cannot Own Itself. every business is owned by either another business, or human beings. if you trace it far enough there are always human beings who can and must be held responsible for the business

Our union letter carriers, mail handlers and post workers take enormous pride in ensuring that vote-by-mail is safe, secure and reliable. America’s unions oppose any efforts to limit vote-by-mail and denounce any misinformation that undermines its validity and security.

contemplating the intersection of the contemplative & the ecstatic in repetitive prayer, specifically but not exclusively in the veneration of Mary, and how demarcations between these aspects are challenged and smudged within the practice. in case you were wondering what I'm doin tonight

Wabanaki sovereignty is on the line in the Maine state legislature! Two bills are moving through the state legislature that could undo the harm of a 1980 land settlement that significantly limited the Tribes’ ability to self-govern.

Excellent work from excellent team. And let's be sure to not bury the headlines here: coral reefs are GONE. Beyond 1.5°C we should expect >90% dead. North Atlantic currents very vulnerable at this temp. These are potentially v fast tipping points that could cause havoc with weather, farming. 1/5
