I am extremely worried about rent, cat food, my burnout, all of it. I am short on all rent and bills and I have to leave my job or I'll die. If you can help me through this, I am grateful patreon.com/kivabay

that a handful of rich men could cause such immense harm at both a personal and societal level is perhaps the strongest possible indictment of capitalism as a system

Kind of wanting to build/mod my current commander decks, but there's likely a banlist update coming out in a few days. #MagicTheGathering

I love playing against Kotis, the Fangkeeper and having them get to play more of my deck than I do. :/

"Every night we read to her from the illustrated, unabridged edition of Atlas Shrugged—glossing over all the hardcore sex parts, mind you, but dwelling pretty thoroughly on the stuff about being proud of what you’ve earned and not letting James Taggart-types bring you down."

I was not expecting a fucking Red Barchetta level narrative in the alt text.

As a makerspace librarian, I cannot tell you how much I love to see this.

Rahman: "We call ourselves a civilized nation, but we lack rules and accountability around what a person claiming to be law enforcement is permitted to do to another human being." She ends with this: "I am not afraid. And I am not afraid to keep working on this problem, even after ICE is gone."

help, I’m trapped inside an SEO factory, warehouse, industrial, manufacturing, stuck, assistance, free iPad

Look man, I don’t know what to tell you, has the Center tried holding harder?

The wild part to me is that not fucking people over whom you have significant power is SO DAMN EASY! You just have to not fuck them, a thing I can accomplish even as I type this post!

Before it gets lost in the noise: Don’t fuck your employees. Don’t fuck your 20-something employees. Don’t fuck your 20-something employees who are currently depending on you for a place to live.

If I were a Republican in congress right now I’d be pulling a reverse Fetterman just flop sweating while googling “pride flag tie ok to wear if straight”

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Did you just find out your favorite, super successful author is a piece of crap? Good news! There are literally hundreds of other, amazing and vibrant writers out there who are pretty rad. Not perfect (who is?) but definitely worth your time.

Neil Gaiman should never be readmitted to polite society. A man with that much money and power, actively putting up a smokescreen of progressivism to conceal his predation, can never be trusted.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

if you’re tear gassing little kids you lose your job, you get arrested, tried, and jailed simply no other option in a civilized society, these goons must face consequences

::taps mic:: beyond being an absolutely miserable illness, measles can cause immune amnesia. It wipes out your immune systems memory of how to fight every infection, every vaccine you've ever had.

I'm going to be $450 short on rent due to missing work to covid earlier this month. I have until 2/4 to raise it or take a $100 late fee. Shares are a huge help, thank you

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

@veerenderjubbal.bsky.social Happy birthday, Veerender! I'm hoping for a better year for you.

I am happy to announce that The Black Parade is still a fucking 10/10 that makes me cry every god damn time I listen to the full album.

It doesn’t matter that Don Lemon hired a superstar attorney or that the case against him is meritless. There are too many journalists with far less money and far fewer resources than Lemon who will be more cautious going forward. That was the intent, and that’s the main problem.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

Remember, the difference between gender ale and gender lager is in the fermentation style: gender ale is a top, whereas gender lager is a bottom

From the makers of Gender Fluid comes...

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Just a reminder that at least 242 journalists were killed by Israel since October 7.

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

The final Pride Flag! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 This is in celebration of me hitting 30k interactions here on BlueSky. 66 characters all in all. Thank you so much to everyone who participated (they will be shouted out in the following posts). Please like and share, as this took me over 70 hours ☺️. #Art #Pride

This is the only way forward.

okay if you like Weird Medieval Guys, architecture, gender, bees, and eldritch women, have I got a book for you (which I also illustrated!)

Meanwhile: Just a reminder that I need to buy a hearing aid, and just dropped half a month's rent for a necessary MRI. Want to help out (if you're not UK-based, as Brexit's in the way)? Bundles are on sale at #Ebooks Direct, at discount prices! 🙂! ebooks.direct/collections/... (1/2)

this is the compromise position

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Got to take #LargestChild to our first ever live @nightvaleradio.bsky.social show last night. What a treat to get to see Cecil, Jeffrey, Symphony, Jon (Disparition), and Mal Blum!

Hi, I have been on opiates for seven years because a car accident wrecked my spine. IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU DO THIS SHIT. It’s an ableist narrative that will make accessing pain management very difficult—and may even lead to backlash against people with this injury.

Nah, fuck that. I don't have to be happy about a god damn thing about the couch fucker.

Just a few hours after celebrating Sal B's birthday, I got the news that Sal has passed away. An enormous loss for our industry and for all of us who knew and worked with him. Safe journeys, Sal. We'll miss you.

Please read. And please forward to people who have asked this question. A quick, clear, and common sense explanation. "Libraries exist for a simple but profound reason: to ensure that everyone, regardless of income, background, belief, or zip code, has access to information, ideas, and stories."

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

Was reading Don DeLillo's White Noise while doing plasma donation this weekend. Got told "Have a nice day, my well-read friend!" by one of the phlebotomists on my way out. Made me very happy to know that taking @vicada.bsky.social's suggestion to read it is being well-received.

Please unfollow the altnps account. It's a do-nothing, disinfo slop mill that's trying to figure out how to Q-Anon the left for future profit, and that is not news.

Oh, neat. Someone's hacked my dead former boss's facebook account to try to sell a car. That's fun.
