EVERYONE STOP EVERYTHING Mychal the Librarian is hosting the Reading Rainbow revival!!! reactormag.com/reading-rain...

It’s official: EA is going private. The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

When I look at what the Republican Party wants to take from trans people there is no line they won't cross--my speech, my privacy, my body. When I look at the Democratic Party I see no line they're willing to draw.

Picked up The Antiracist Kid by Tiffany Jewell (illust. Nicole Miles) for my sister's eldest this week and the book is delightfully *heavy*! (It also has a book list for kids *and* adults at the back, 10/10.) In light of "ordinary" (see: bigotry) US news, I thought about this "fun" fact [page 15].

FOR THE FOLKS WONDERING WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: There is a direct ideological throughline between the "anti-CRT" movement/attacks on Black studies and the firing of Stephen Colbert and suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Not posting this to say "I told you so" but bc you must understand the storyline.

We already have 1000+ reasons to hate """artist""" James C Mulligan (see below), but it was extra enraging to see him stealing and taking credit for the work of actual Bambi artist and all-around Disney legend Tyrus Wong, so here's a mini Ted Talk 🧵

Waiting for the truth to come out that the reason the Chinese Localization of BL4 was so offensively bad was because it was 100% done by AI

man it's almost like bluesky was always gonna suck for exactly these reasons and everyone who insisted otherwise learned absolutely nothing from the failures of every other social media site

People are demanding we show empathy to a person whose whole career was built on spreading hate for anyone who wasn’t a straight white male. 😮‍💨 I’m just gonna leave this here, cos it sums this thing up better than I can right now.

If you say that violence is unacceptable, from now on keep that same energy for: * when a queer person or a person of color dies due to a hate crime. * the people of Palestine & any countries having an oppressive genocide. If you only have that energy for Cishet white people, then you're a nazi.

Gavin Newsome in his cups over a dead nazi is *exactly* what I expected from him and every other liberal

"machine-manufactured art with no creative input from humans" was Julia's profession in Nineteen Eighty-Four

the silence of so many very wealthy and very safe celebs is really something

this goes so hard

zionists are mad at chris martin from coldplay for saying all humans are equal, that monster

random adult life advice of the day: unfortunately, you also need to clean the tools you use to clean things. thoroughly rinse & wring out your sponges and let them dry. run scrubbers through the dishwasher. scrub your sink with soap and steel wool. wipe down your vacuum & cut hair from the roller.

literally nothing has changed since 1979

What level of neurodivergence is it to prepare for a new driving route by going onto google maps and visually practicing the route in the street view with the arrow keys?

VERY briefly had a Macintosh LC 500 in the early 90s that my dad found in the alley trash behind his sheet metal factory but it bricked after a few days. We didnt get another PC until 2004. I think it was an absolute slab of Gateway Laptop that the whole family used

damn, the thing we said was inevitable as soon as biden insisted the pandemic was over is happening! i don't want to let rfk and pals off the hook here but the dems are just as much to blame for spending most of the pandemic capitulating to eugenicist conspiracy freaks and undermining healthcare

Even if it is better than Twitter its still “same shit, different app” on here

as a 30 somethings adult I think the most exciting thing Ive ever purchased for myself was a screwdriver with an hex key attachment. like bettin majority of the average adults furniture uses hex keys for assembly. this is honestly more valuable to me than a phillips screwdriver at this point

gen. like what point did telling people to touch grass become such a self callout. Like distinct before-after sitch. Before it was calling out others to stop being so out of touch, now 98% of the time I see the phrase, they are always clearly in the wrong. I feel like I blinked and missed something

GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft, as CEO Thomas Dohmke resigns. GitHub is now moving to Microsoft's AI engineering team, CoreAI, with a new structure for GitHub's leadership team. Details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/757461/...

Hey y’all. I had to set up a GFM for medical expenses and rent - basically to keep my head above water until I can go back to work. The pain has been incredibly debilitating and so far nothing’s worked, and now I’ve been denied health insurance. I really, really need help. gofund.me/b508c5a3

reminder that the "credit card companies denying the sale of anything that could be considered pornographic" fact and the "platforms/government trying to define anything remotely queer as pornography" fact should get filed in the same section of your brain

giving in to the notion that the biological differences between men and women naturally demand segregated sports is a choice that ripples out through our entire culture. that even radical leftists dismiss gendered desegregation in sports as an idea shows the prevalence of bioessentialist thinking

If one thing I wish I can do easily is draw fast... I'm so so slow...

Aelia artfight attack for @wisteria-shade.bsky.social #art #digitalart #DnD #tiefling

Tell you what, if a payment processor came out with a policy to specifically NOT do this all the goddamn time I would switch immediately.

Dont be surprised when all the universities start complying in advance.

Man This websites enshittification was **super quick**. Note that this is just for the UK but if you think thats where its gonna stay I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya. This is how fascism works and will be ised to silence voices and thats not hyperbole.

Pre-emptive PSA, cause it's popped up and immediately raised a flag. Bsky has just implemented receiving like and retweet notifications *on retweets you've made* Since I know some folks would not like this, yes, you can disable it, and here's where you can do that. You'll need to update the app.

insurance is ass: income so low that medicaid is my only option but if I stay on medicaid the wait for a top surgery is 3 years. I /need/ to be on some normal insurance but the bronze plans are estimating at 500/mo how do I make the math math so that I can get top surgery in 6 months instead of 36?

Unfair that I have all these ideas but I’m not rich enough to pursue any of them

everyone in r/denver who sent me suicide msgs for calling @pettersen.house.gov a lukewarm sellout whos Women+Girls!! soapbox ceases exist when those Women+Girls!! are not white can pay for my uncovered therapy. Shes made this clear since her aggressive AIPAC and Lockheed funded support for Israel

Re: the artist I blocked, I'm going to name names because this is NOT okay. This is the alt of mes0melas/StudioKerberos/BlackBackedJackal, where she is threatening to send ICE after an immigrant. This type of behavior in our own community is not to be tolerated. ICE and fascism are a threat to all.

Wrote this piece for Harpers Bazaar about the life, legacy, and hate-induced murder of Jonathan Joss through the eyes of being a Two-Spirit Native person this Pride. I hope you take a read. For Him. For all of us. 🪶
