well. I accidentally saw the video of a fucking street execution in MN. These ghouls need to be stopped. This is fucking unacceptable.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN

Look. I don’t trust the Dems, or any party, to give us liberation. But right now, we have to use every lever we can to stop ICE from surveilling snd terrorizing our communities. If enough people speak out right now we have a real shot at getting House Dems to vote en masse against ICE funding

i cannot even describe the grief and anger all of this causes inside of me

okay but one day it WILL happen. we all need to survive for that moment. promise?

i will never understand being a smug leftist instead of being welcoming & encouraging to liberals moving more left (even if it’s not as far as you think we need). no one wants to join your movement if yr just gonna act like you think they’re stupid!

no one is allowed to say woke is back until they return the MLK Jr sourdough. they stopped doing it last year and I just went this year & again not there 😭

oh dear I woke up to too many notifications from bsky on my phone 😭 hey everyone!

Rachel Maddow posting a crimethinc link is wild lmao

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - And when you fall we will come to raise you up, bud from you, banner-like, blossom from you and carry you apart in a sky funeral. In honour of your passing. (But not me, because I am just a leaf eater.)

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

if you’ve ever applied to work in federal civilian service this story will put your jaw on the floor. i was rejected for a fed job once bc I didn’t explicitly say I worked 40hrs/week in my resume lmao

incredible, no notes

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Do not let the failures of prosecution post January 6th happen again. Every second you do not charge this person is a second the massive propaganda apparatus around the federal government will use to create a fog of lies to get him off. Arrest him immediately for killing an American citizen.

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

Very weird feeling waiting for the president to announce an illegal war based on total bullshit that they made up right in front of our faces on TV, almost like I've lived through this moment before

man, this year has seriously sucked so much. and there’s still a few weeks left for it to get even worse.

I need to see this immediately

I asked my coworkers in a chat for help coming up w/ a title for something. one asked me if I used AI. I said no bc my coworkers are geniuses & why would I ask something that’s mostly mediocre in comparison? Then they all helped me & I got to appreciate them as people w genuinely excellent skills.

just had a job interview and at the end they told me they can’t offer health insurance. so that’s a no, lmao. god i hate everything.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, marvel, etc.

having an existential crisis and therapy isn’t for another 23 hours what am I going to do

the existence of the mass produced exploded Chernobyl nuclear reactor humidifier at Home Depot means in 3 years tops there’s gonna be a 9/11 one

lmaooo I need an ultrasound but can’t get in until January 2. hope it’s not an emergency! 🙃

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

i am literally a furloughed fed, have depleted my entire savings, am extremely stressed out abt my precarious situation and.. fuck the democrats. i cannot believe they are going to do this.

job market so dire i am about to apply to a tenure track faculty position

somehow got in to see pool kids’ late night set when I was this far back in line at @thefestfl.bsky.social. hour long wait was so worth it.

yay i love FEST

the normies at Great Clips are talking (positively) about the No Kings protests in central Florida

this isn’t a comment from me (I don’t post on Reddit) but as another civilian federal worker I can confirm tMG’s music is high on the coping mechanisms list

that’s probably alright

they’re gonna fire me during a government shutdown to own the libs but hey at least I got $38 from when Facebook stole all of my data.

it’s my last weekend until potential employment. hasn’t felt this imminent since May. I am taking myself out on a date.

man, sometimes i forget just how traumatizing my job is now.

I think…people’s obsession with “a cause”…is precisely because autism’s genetic randomness is hard to stratify by social class……………..

four days later and I’m still riding an insane high from seeing the mountain goats 💜

I believe the last two nights have healed my bruised and broken soul enough that I can keep fighting the good fight again.

to my relief, I went to my scheduled CVS MinuteClinic appointment & got my Covid booster with no issue. I wasn’t asked for proof but my list of meds includes several immunosuppressants so they maybe didn’t need any proof beyond that.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social will there be an opener for tour next week? gonna be at the first two shows & usually i like to give them a listen beforehand plus my schedule is tight Thursday so would be nice to know how early I absolutely gotta get to the venue!

losing my mind when someone in a call split an excel column by a delimiter and someone used the clapping emoji that shows up on the screen for everyone

I understand why people are posting it but man, seeing the pedophilic drawing like 7x in a row on my feed was Not Great

i attended PPH’s bandcamp listening party last night & it was very fun but also i realized my retreat from most social media means no one remembers who i am 😔

ok so let trans youth get HRT bitch

bravery from fellow gov workers 💜
