@quakerpirate.bsky.social do you think you could measure public opinion (by georegion) on a topic indirectly by measuring how long a slogan can stay up before being covered, what size, and publicity of placement?

Time to put up a lot more of these:

📬📝 Dear @margaret.bsky.social, have you ever thought about founding The Apocalypse Scouts? I would make the badges. They would be linocut stamped patches ppl can affix to their vests with safety pins or fabric adhesive. 🏴🏕️

Our ancestors didn't dodge drafts so we could lick boots

Working on a new #linocut #anarchy #anarchist 🏴

I might be the only leftist who got #radicalized by reading The Babysitters Club and Left Behind: Teen series, both of which taught me we can just organize horizontally and be better off

Give to the generous

Now is a good time to announce that I am planning to start an in person Zine Distro in 2028 right here in NYC. So... if you have space hook ups for me, please reach out. The Distro space will also be available to local organizers who need a space for their meetings.

How I eat a banana when I'm alone versus when I'm on a zoom call is so different it's hilarious

Hoping to help others without expectation of anything in return, it asks us everyday how we will engage with ourselves and the gifts we are able to receive and give, it is comfort when we embrace it, and it is patient when we reject it, Love is Us, love is them, love is we, love is you, love is me.

Got inspired by @chucktingle.bsky.social to do this #procreate sketch

amazing that our own small creations connect us directly to the moment of our universe erupting out of nothing and the unfathomable power of existence itself and yet we look at our drawings or stories and are like 'this is bad.' bud it is not bad it is the leading edge of a billion years of beauty

half awake vision this morning of a cartoon called Graveyard Friends about animals living in a cemetery & a girl who hangs out there (Emo Winnie The Pooh + leftist organizing Dilbert/Animal Farm) w/ a groundhog that pops up with Marx quotes or animals trying to organize amid leftist infighting

It's wild that most fruits come with a free subscription (seed)

#procreate sketch- slogan #linocut?

Feed a cold Starve a fever Stop the show Leave the theater

Anyone come up with some snack innovations yesterday?

Not a fan of how every tech product decided the thing I must need right now is resizing every application window to a thousand different options, none of which I'm trying to do

We need regional currencies or at least exchange rates. It's insane that someone from a place where they make way more $ per year can go buy up all the houses in a place where the annual HHI is a fraction of what they make, then turn around and jack up the rents bc there's a housing crisis

Ahhh I really need to finish this design as a linocut- such a good one @nome.bsky.social!

@margaret.bsky.social 🙏 plz rate my anarchist antiwar slogan tysm 🏴✒️🖤

The GOP now is basically run by 2 groups- 1) ppl richer than God who either believe they're in a simulation & we're all not real OR that this is all very real & they need to live long enough to upload their consciousness to "live" forever 2) ppl who think they need an apocalypse so Jesus comes back

Minnesota lawyers: this doc is intended to serve as a living, iterated-on clearinghouse for volunteer opportunities. It's very much a work in progress, but I'll be updating it as resources develop. Everyone has something to contribute regardless of practice area or experience. Let's get to work.

It kinda feels like instead of a generation that sees a train on screen and runs away screaming, we're the generation that sees an actual train coming and gets destroyed bc we assumed it's fake

We had a revolution & the USA as we knew it ended on Jan 6th- voted to impeach & it didn't go through. That was the end of the experiment that ran from antebellum reconstruction- it's an illusion we're the same country as ~250 years ago. It was a hostile takeover & they're milking the US brand for $

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

It kinda feels like instead of a generation that sees a train on screen and runs away screaming, we're the generation that sees an actual train coming and gets destroyed bc we assumed it's fake

If everyone who is mad about the state of the country (and is physically able to) observed #Ramadan alongside our #muslim neighbors next week- didn't go to restaurants or get fast food from sunrise to sundown for the entire duration of Ramadan, the markets might notice and we'd all save $

🙄 In true American Exceptionalism fashion, only the USA is allowed to defeat the USA... I guess we got dealt the era where the bully becomes so strong unchecked that they lose it and just punch themselves in the face until they're no longer a threat to everyone else?

@whysophiewhy.bsky.social any chance in the future that we can get key Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff episodes rereleased as older-relative-friendly radio edit versions? I keep wanting to send actual history to them but I know they would not be able to get over the language 😅😭🙉

I need a #classics major to send me nerdy journal articles telling me about the earliest writings about #sirens and what their deal was and how everyone who thinks they know what they are is wrong

As you scroll through memes honoring MLK, today is a good day to remember that a lot of leaders believe that the only appropriate place to hold a protest is in the past. Hat tip to @derringerpax.bsky.social, who made my quote into a woodcut in 2024.

Something I’ve been trying to tell people in my life is there is no safe or right way to exist safely under {fascism|authoritarianism|whatever}. There is no logical course of action you can follow that will prevent you from being targeted, intentionally or by chance, which history shows repeatedly.

@margaret.bsky.social this sounds like a book you would write

Whenever we want to prevent a war, we need to have an HBO-level period drama about a relatable-looking person from the US visiting and then falling in love with some beautiful person from whatever country our military industrialists are trying to get us to attack

Love this! Such a great way to direct energy
