Got back to my hotel. Group got on elevator same time. Man (probably mid 40’s) sees a drink on the floor of elevator. Says it looks “brand new. Ice isn’t even melted.” Him and his girl both start drinking it. “It’s great. Rum and Coke!” THE FLOOR DRINK! THE DRINK FOUND ON THE FLOOR OF AN ELEVATOR!

@realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein is truly beautiful & horrific. Not as a horror film, but as a faithful depiction of the horror a narcistic father can generate by objectifying the child with whom they've become bored. I, unfortunately, feel very seen. I cried through most of it 🩷Masterpiece🩷

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Jason Gunn's Peacemaker series has gotten me reading the pre-suicide squad comics to see what the character was originally like and it is wild 1/3

While this cowardly Government refuses to recognise Palestine, our Council has already signed an agreement with Ramallah and approved an investment policy that excludes Israeli companies and government bonds. Who's lamo now? #nzpol

"tankie" is such a red flag term. Like yeah there are some people that *could* be described that way but it honestly has a lower hit rate than the way rightos throw around the term "communist" and honestly it makes me think less of the people who use it.

Hello. My church held an in-person service this weekend for the first time since the LA ICE raids started two months ago and I would like to tell you about it.
