here's a thread with a bunch of suggestions for Things-You-Can-Actually-Do. its not the be all end all but its a place to start. As you do things and, ideally, interact with people, you will find additional opportunities to help present themselves to you bsky.app/profile/dist...

Also avoid sharing war / trauma porn. Civilians in crisis are not a spectacle to use as content. We all know there's a war on, let trusted ethical news outlets with professional staff share appropriate footage.

So, y'all should stop treating the NYT and Washington Post as papers of record. They, as outlets, clearly do not want to actually perform ethical journalism and inform people about important things.

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

I called this morning, you can do it too. Whole process takes five minutes, tops, to get through all three of your Congresscritters.

Oh hey, look at this from 2003. Sounds familiar.

We did the same fucking thing 25 years ago and the same fucking people wrote the same fucking serious and sober articles and they were completely fucking wrong then and they are completely fucking wrong now. Fuck.

I really think that if you're a journalist who knew about it beforehand and you didn't report on it, you're a monster

Please stop giving fascists credit whenever they say the correct sequence of words out of political opportunism. It's not hard. None of this changes the fact that MTG is someone who has spent her entire career spreading bigotry & outright nonsense that has targeted several marginalized groups.

Update: This is probably the most comfortable hoodie I've owned since the ratty Billabong shirt I've been rocking since high school. It's like wearing a fleece blanket.

PLEASE let 2026 be the year that things finally happen! It may or may not be happening! I'm not saying it's happened, but I want to believe. I WANT TO BELIEVE!

what could this mean for anime matsuri studios

The evil (may be) defeated.

Thankfully not catastrophic? Caught @wario64.bsky.social's notif about a clearance sale on Woot, was able to found an open box Pixel fold for about what I paid for the Pixel 3 open-box about six years ago If it goes through, I'll be OK... so... so, small miracles?

WELP - today's off to a great start.

I'm seeing a lot of posts to call your reps but little on actually how. 5calls.org is a great site where you can put in your zip code and get numbers for your house representative and two senators. You also can get a script if you're like me and stumble over your thoughts.

Shout out to every writer and artist I know who still has deadlines to hit and has gotta work somehow despite The Everything

www.commoncause.org/find-your-re... Grabbed this link from Greg Pak's thread about what to do in the wake of the Venezuela bombing overnight for US folks if you want to follow in Sam's footsteps. You can leave a message if it goes through to your rep's answer phone.

So, I just got off the phone with my congressman and senators.

Wait, WHAT?!

Not surprised the streaming service owned by the Fox Corporation is uh. Well. Not doing a great job of keeping things on the up and up...

Someone should check to see if the Tai Chi Chasers dude's at it again. Just... Jeeeeezus Christ. SunFlower's subs were better, and they were done by amateurs in 2008.

"We love America" IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiii really don't think they do.

Jesus Christ this thing goes down to my knees

Most accurate SNL sketch of the past 20 years: youtu.be/z0NgUhEs1R4?...

Gundam in general seems particularly fucked. I happen to be watching through Mobile Suit Gundam Wing on Crunchyroll right now, and it doesn't have closed captions at all, despite having aired on broadcast television. Tell the FCC about Mobile Suit Gundam, Wing, and Iron-Blooded Orphans.

... It really does take this long to get things ready for print.

People logging back into Bluesky for the first time in a year

I HATE when people post Twitter screenshots on Bluesky. We left there for a reason. Stop tracking that filth over here to our lovely new home.

Early next week we're going to announce a handful of titles right here on social media since they're ready to go.

Dem consultants watching this: "OK, see here, he may seem popular now, but he's done literally everything wrong because he's not acting like a 1999 Republican. You should totally abandon your principles and suck up to power and money - THAT'S the real winning move. :D"

BTW the same company that dubbed 8th Man and Prince Planet and Johnny Sokko and Amazing 3 also produced this anti-communist propaganda cartoon for the US government! youtu.be/LeFgd6gGTWk?...

to be clear none of these headlines were true, Toxic is currently on MTV Classic, Doechii is currently on MTVU, this has been one of the most bizarre hoaxes (?) ever

8th Man is an important work in North American fandom - it's one of the first titles to hit US TV following Astro Boy and Gigantor, airing in 1965. The title was important enough to warrant an episode guide mapping in the first-ever issue of Fanta's Zine.

One of my random projects over the past year has been going through clearance sections and scraping up a lot of the Funimation Essentials Blu-Rays that hit the market before they devoured Crunchyroll. It's wild how many titles under that line have gone OOP since I started this

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you: Hi, I'm a box cutter and a dysphoria-induced depressive episode.

Why isn't there more shouting about this? This is the USPS undermining mail-in ballots. They find every opportunity to subvert voting and democracy. Ballots, tax returns and other important mail may not get postmarked the day you turn it in, USPS warns www.cnn.com/2025/12/31/p...

Finally getting to open some packages that came last week, turned out to be a happy reminder that some nice things did happen in 2025. #hololive #animeherald

Excited to start reading this ASAP: huge thanks to @darkprimus.bsky.social for the Xmas gift! @animeherald.com

I don't mean to alarm anyone, but we're down to our last ~95-ish copies on-hand. Get your orders in ASAP because we're moving pretty quickly 💖

STOP. PUBLISHING. STORIES. LIKE. THIS.

Damn... I really did just print the shipping labels and pass out yesterday

if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this. It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.

Featuring a trans woman so prominently at his inauguration like this was an absolutely baller move by Zohran

Baroque Syndrome's out now on Steam! :D store.steampowered.com/app/3747890/...

In my experience any professional entity that's proud of having a presence on Kick is either desperate trash or fascist trash. Oh hi XBox didn't see you there

I remember when the news of this broke back in 2007. The general reaction was amusement combined with some confusion. Even the Providence Cops on the news were basically saying "We're super impressed at what they built, but we do have to throw them out and trespass them"

🎂| Today, January 2nd, is the birthday of prolific seiyuu Megumi Toyoguchi who played movie producer Lois Heart in Sakura Wars New York Hoshigumi Show 2014 "You Ain't Heard Nothing Yet". Happy Birthday!!

deeply, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart i say fuck the new york times. stop giving them your money. cancel your subscription. drop their crosswords. move on from wordle. trans people have been saying for years this was an organized campaign of bigotry and disinformation. well here it all is
