I don’t know who you are, where you’re from, what you’ve done as long as you try hot chocolate with Chartreuse in it at least once. Literally heaven.

Watching Revenge of the Sith for the first time after avoiding it for decades and on top of everything the fuck else the sight of Padme *brushing her hair when it’s in perfect ringlets* has me screaming in curly girl rage because that is not a thing you ever do!

Now this is the kind of shit that I love. After reading @blacktopkid.bsky.social’s KING OF ASHES, I was wondering if its setting of Jefferson Run, VA is a real city. It isn’t, but I was validated to see that I’m not the only reader who was so entranced by the book that they had the same question.

'Prometheus' my ass these guys aren't stealing fire from the gods they're stealing money from the people and setting fire to the planet. All for Bezos living out the 'Olympians punish him by chaining him to a rock and having an eagle eat his liver every day' phase of a titan's life tho.

Might have miscalculated the timing of my trip.

Surprised not to see more discourse about ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. What I loved most about it was how it contrasted Bob’s bombastic, violent, immediately satisfying activism with Sensei’s quiet, plodding, unglamorous but utterly crucial community building and mutual aid infrastructure creation.

If you see this, post a pic from your device with no explanation.

This is an extract from a list of colours for Dungeons & Dragons figurines. Some of them could be makeup shades (Pixiedust Pink, Green Flame)... ... But that's the deal with Skeleton Bone? Lads. All bones are skeleton bones.

Don’t miss Hanif Abdurraqib’s essay about it in his book “They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us”, which starts with this incredible first page -

Eternally shocked by the number of South Asian Trumpers. Man, I stopped going to see my favorite *band* bc their singer hates me (we were friends until I criticized their antivax posts and they blocked me). Cannot imagine the cognitive dissonance of *voting* for someone who definitely hates you.

Good fucking riddance, Disney+/Hulu. Can we get a spinoff streaming service just for watching Bluey?

SORRY, YOU'LL FORGIVE ME FOR ASKING, BUT HAVE WE ALL OF A SUDDEN DECIDED THAT IT IS WRONG TO COLLECTIVELY PUNISH A CIVILIAN POPULATION FOR THE ACTIONS OF A BODY THAT CLAIMS TO SPEAK AND ACT ON THEIR BEHALF?

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

Wild to read Jennette McCurdy’s “I’m Glad My Mom Died” last week, a book about coming to terms w/ the fact that you are under no obligation to canonize someone in death, especially if their existence jeopardized yours - and then see so many (esp those in power) fail so spectacularly at exactly that.

When it’s your bird-loving sister’s birthday. #watercolors #tuftedtitmouse

Before the @nin.com show tonight. There is some universe in which I didn’t buy that cassette of The Downward Spiral in India back in 7th grade and in that universe I probably look very, very different 😅 #nineinchnails #girlswithmohawks #eldergoth

Good Morning [Bookmarked, for future mornings when needed!]

ALIEN: EARTH gets an A+ for creepy crawly things moving in the background and also for making me forget for the horrors of the world for 2 hours.

Seizure medication, wheelchairs, Social Security cards, dentures, urns of ashes, work uniforms — just some of what's been thrown away during cruel, degrading, utterly counterproductive homeless sweeps. A good time to revisit this gutting @propublica.org story:

Lots of men on this flight complaining they can’t find dinner idk

It's very clear now that if Nazi Germany had restricted its extermination campaigns and invasions to West Asia, the entire world would have bent over backward to accommodate their genocide, with an occasional murmur of concern every several months.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

Here’s your free link to the Trump/ Epstein story www.wsj.com/politics/tru...

I know it’s 1am and I should be sleeping but guys -

This is an absolutely critical read. Truly urge everyone to take ten minutes and read this. It adds so much context to where we are now, with strategy and vision for how and why we must not give up hope. "Take my hand. We can do this."

My mom brought up what a very different world she lived in at 22, when her and my dad worked full time at local fast food chain and were able to buy a house, raise kids, and go out for dinner once a week. They had a boat, at one point! Both came from working class families. That was a real thing.

Not kidding when I say that if our national leaders had half the moral principles of this man our nation would be a radically better place

Wolfgang summing up how we’re feeling this fourth. 💀 #burnitalldown

If a 33 year old socialist immigrant Muslim can win the Dem mayoral nomination in a landslide in the biggest city in the entire country Fuck it man, the game is on, get this shit moving and start fighting

If I’m crying in central NJ I can’t imagine how my people in NY must feel. What a win for the people, the city, and the DSA!

So well done. I don't think that being gay is in any way insulting. This is an excellent reframing of the ridicudrama.

Anyone have any of those ‘regime change begins at home’ stickers left over from 2003?

Omar El Akkad’s novel AMERICAN WAR is great at imagining/forcing people to imagine just this.

I’m selling the original art from my tarot deck. Buyers will get the deck once completed as a bonus! #art #artist #tarot #painting #iillustration artofloganriley.etsy.com/listing/4324...

People are putting an interesting value judgment on “stunt,” but stunts are powerful. Stunts catch attention. A group of people walking from Selma to Montgomery is a stunt. Groups of people protesting Tesla is a stunt. When the response is violence that says everything about the responders.

All you graphic designers using your powers for evil like this, I hope you end up in a hell where the only font is Arial. Even Comic Sans is too good for the likes of you.

🚨 Summer survival tip: keep a bottle of nail polish with you at all times. If you get a mosquito bite, apply a coat of polish immediately to stop it from swelling and itching. I’m a mosquito magnet and this has legit changed my life. (I like using gold polish so I also get to feel ✨FaNcY✨)

the thing about bluesky being a left-lib echo chamber devoid of any meaningful right wing voices is that actually it rocks. it kicks ass

Thrilled to share that the answer to the question “is my mohawk too long to spike?” is a resounding no 🥳

free mass public transit should be a climate policy supported by anyone who claims to care about the problem reduce miles driven by those most in need and you reduce emissions while also reducing income inequality

Extremely silly life hack alert 🚨 I got sick of misplacing my phone all the time so I created an automation to make it play a song (“Everybody, Everybody”, in this case) whenever I either cough or, ahem, meow. Works like a charm, although my neighbors might feel differently.

Oh hey! My buddy Frank wrote a children’s book about amazing moms of the animal kingdom and I illustrated it. You can get a copy here! And yes there is an octopus 🐙 store.bookbaby.com/book/wild-moms (Looking for a publisher if anyone has connections!) #wildmoms #childrensbook #octopus

Wtf, man. Is there any other minority community that has provided this administration so many eager lapdogs? Utterly ashamed of all these Indian-American bootlickers.
