1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch. I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

So- I got to pay two things this month. Gotta pay for a new door as my dog dug a hole in it and pay my phone bill. The total is around $260. I’d love if it gets paid very soon. Please dm if you’d like art from me. Or you can help on kofi: ko-fi.com/missalppy

Go, Jane, go! She's rounded up hundreds of Hollywood figures to revive the First Amendment organization her father championed. Fonda, in her late eighties, is in her prime as a climate champion and a powerful voice for justice.

Today marks the beginning of the first federal government shutdown since 2019. ALA is concerned about the impacts on federal library workers, as well as the cascading impacts in communities nationwide. Read more about what this means for libraries: americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/the-sc...

It is making me so irrationally angry and I know it isn't personal but I want to fight every time I see it. More than a decade of warnings and evidence and yet...

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet. After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

The problem with having read all of @nkjemisin.bsky.social’s books is now I don’t have any new NK Jemisin books to read

Through her creative platform, Saint Heron, Solange has launched The Saint Heron Library, a digital archive dedicated to making rare and out-of-print works by Black authors, poets, and artists accessible to all. 🔗 library.saintheron.com

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

The Knights of Guinevere trailer got 5 million views in ~3 weeks. The pilot episode got 5 million views in *less than a day*! Very very cool~ #KoG #Glitch youtu.be/MCAdbUaMlAE?...

When you suddenly have 4 audiobooks (another on the way) and 2 ebooks in from the library all at once. Time to lock in lads

A message from Dana Terrace

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

all fascists are cowards, if you tell them no they run scared, if you try to appease them they sense weakness and attack harder

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Feeling quite ill this evening, but I did finally finish a book that I had to keep setting aside for things due at the library sooner. Started another book almost immediately too lol. Now I’m eating a late dinner

My August Reading stats (oops a bit late) Some phenomenal reads for last month. Buffalo Hunter Hunter stood out the most to me. What a spooky & beautiful book. I also loved Solitaire, which felt like reading a book about my teenage self, & my re-read of Goose Girl was lovely as always

Mainstream media continues to publish unsubstantiated hearsay and showcase their unending cowardice and eagerness to kowtow. Meanwhile, the quality no-holds-barred reporting can be found in unlikely places: a teen fashion magazine, a taco review website, and a music & pop-culture publication.

in the US conservative mindset cishet conservative white men are top of the hierarchy and thus it is bad to shoot them, but also they are allowed to shoot people, so if one kills another it's just a wash. cancels out. thoughts and prayers, nothing to see here

These are facts, but people who swear they would have fought the Nazis don't want to hear that they are currently demanding sympathy for a Nazi wannabe

For those who don’t know, the day I got my name and gender marker legally changed in Texas was the same day Attorney General Ken Paxton made it so trans people could no longer change their identification in Texas and any attempt to do so would have their name put on a list

Exactly. I’m not gonna mourn that man, and those of you doing so are the type to mourn that dude with the lil mustache. It’s a slap in the face to say “it was a difference of opinion” no nigga, it was the violence he stoked and got burned by.

382 lovely indie games for $8! All proceeds support UNRWA USA’s humanitarian aid in Palestine. ♥️🖤🤍💚

george lucas made a three film opus about how a combination of tariffs, incels, and anxiety would give rise to fascism and we all made fun of him smfh

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

How is it that I’ve read 75 books this year and I still feel like I’m running out of time and not reading enough

I used to say this all of the time on Twitter, but I dunno if I posted it here yet so here’s goes: Some of y’all need a groupchat real bad

And so, I don't think "copy the bourgeoise" holds any real value anymore. They've lost their silhouette and the lifestyle was never that cool in the first place. If you want to dress casually outside of the suit, you have to look towards other social groups for inspiration.

Although it's rarely expressed in outright terms, people often use a very simple heuristic when solving fashion problems: they wish to look rich, which is often disguised as "respectable." I will show you why this rarely leads to good outfits. 🧵

Don’t watch it. Dont hate-watch it. Don’t give it any damn attention.

This absolute banger

I find great joy in mapping out the books I will read in a month. This is an idealized list, but fun to plan nonetheless

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Jucika Receives Love Letters

Guillermo del Toro is truly one of the best to ever do it

There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation. Which is why it makes my head explode when people surrender in advance verbally, which they do all the time about politics.

“Faraway lands”. Ha. The US has been committing atrocities from the beginning. Yes, things are bad now but let’s not pretend that the government only suddenly turned bad when the system was set up this way on purpose. Any time there has been improvement it has been IN SPITE of the system

I just finished We Were Liars. I LOVED it. What a show. If you haven’t seen it please watch it, but PLEASE don’t look anything up.
