Marjane Satrapi’s books and movies had a HUGE impact on me. I still reread and rewatch all the time. And I genuinely believe that she showed the Western world insight into Iran that they’d never had before. This is a tremendous loss.

Because we are musical people, Ashtyn made a playlist to accompany the pilot of SHADOW SKATING! www.patreon.com/posts/playli...

I'm looking for someone who understands word press who does not use AI. My website broke out of nowhere and I need help fixing it.

I need some advice. In 2023, I was run off Twitter due to transphobia I lost an account with a lot of followers and that account was primarily how I got work. Since then my work has suffered. I can't seem to make any traction anywhere else.

To all the gay people throwing trans people under the bus – the people you are throwing us under the bus to don't want you either. The minute they get rid of us they will come for you. Some of them are already saying things like homosexuality has no place in the world.

Also, can we make something clear? If it's abuse it's not BDSM. The two are incompatible. Consent is supposed to be a hallmark of BDSM. It's literally baked into the entire concept.

AC is a medical necessity for so many these days. Regions where AC is uncommon are getting dangerously hot.

Reminder that 50 Shades of Grey is abuse not BDSM.

A lot of people don't know that I grew up regionally famous. This is the reality of what that experience was like. ko-fi.com/post/The-Rea...

Let's hope - for I would wish this on no-one - Seema Malhotra does not become one of the women, like my wife featured in this piece, who are confronted by vigilantes in her changing room for the crime of having suffered breast cancer.

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and height, but she can sing better. Shame on Missouri Republicans for slashing funding to Dolly's Imagination Library, which provides free books to over 170,000 children every month. They must reverse these cuts immediately.

The more these older established creators and directors jump on to the AI grift the more irrelevant they seem. Like its sweaty and desperate looking at this point. The very opposite of creative innovation.

Sign up to testify about the need for INCREASED funding for our public libraries at the 6/10 City Council budget hearing. Details are here: bit.ly/June10Testify You can testify in person, on Zoom and/or submit written remarks.

It's a virus that can strike with unrelenting force. The kind of care need to knock it out is often not fully available in a lower resource country like the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I will never use AI for anything including storyboarding. What a fucking sellout. PAY ARTISTS!

If you are running for office and you use the R word in an interview, you shouldn't be allowed to run. The R word was a literal diagnosis. When you use it you are making fun of people with intellectual disabilities. How can you represent them if you're making fun of them?

Cheap nursing homes are warehouses for the dying.

the thing that is stunning to me is that there is so much Medicare fraud where elders get tricked into signing away their rights and are dumped into nursing homes under conservatorships allowing ppl the elders didn't want in charge to control their $$. A big concern for years, & the reps forgot.

Rep Jennifer Gross thinks that it is okay to institutionalize disabled people because she thinks it will save money. I wonder if she's being paid by the nursing home lobby?

🥳 A small town in #Oregon is celebrating after officially stopping a large data center from being built in their community‼️ The #LaPineCity Council voted unanimously to reject the proposed project 👏

Some good news on the medical front.. Pancreatic cancer halted by virus injection in three patients.. www.newscientist.com/article/2528...

Just saw a story of a man who approached a trans woman from behind and yanked her skirt and underwear down, exposing her to everyone including children. He was arrested on assault charges as he should be. It happened that Cedar Point which is not too far from where I grew up.

In this newsletter I outline important actions to take. 1. Submit a comment opposing the rule change. 2. Contact state legislators to ensure states are engaged with the impact at the state and local level. 3. Contact members of Congress. 4. Spread awareness. This rundown is a great source:

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

I'm not a scientist, but I work for a university, and I benefit as a citizen from all the great work scientists do. I submitted a public comment; it just took a few minutes. You can too!

Say it with me... The fascists aren't having any fun and the latest concert debacle is downstream of this fact. Their art sucks and this is a major reason they can't stand the Left(s).

Stimming is usually beneficial for neurodivergent children and it should not be discouraged or stopped as this could encourage masking, which can lead to anxiety. www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/art... #autism #stimming #neurodiversity

Heat danger: climate crisis collides with the World Cup someone else's problem? not anymore .. @ftblforfuture.bsky.social @wwattribution.bsky.social www.salamandernews.org/2026-05-heat...

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

I actually saw my Elders fired from jobs, humiliated, beaten, bombed, murdered, lynched and assassinated for the right to vote. I have a debt to pay. I repay that debt every Election Day when I vote for the candidate of my choice.

Mega Vouch . . . let's go!
