In LA, community organizing has played a major role in slowing ICE down. Here are the strategies I saw while I was there. Note: This is a shorter cut of a longer video that’s available on my other socials. All of which can be found here: linktr.ee/kevinfoster

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

It's my birthday which means I get to shamelessly ask for reposts! I'm David and I'm an odd mix: Amateur wildlife photographer, digital artist (3D and painting), bird-nerd, spider-liker, word-writer, and dungeon-master. I'm vehemently anti-AI and live in the lower Blue Mountains, west of Sydney AU.

anyway, in the wise words of @prisonculture.bsky.social :

My new campaign is the “make ICE agents so demoralized they quit” campaign.

This is Waylon. He'd been in a shelter for 95 days when a woman came in with her son Cai. Cai asked so many great questions about how to keep him safe and healthy. When he returned to officially adopt Waylon, he arrived in a very dapper suit, saying it was a "special occasion." 14/10 for everybody

“In traditional patronage back in the day, a wealthy individual would be like, ‘Hey, Mozart, I like what you’re doing over there. Here’s some money, keep doing that. Love you man!’ This kind of thing still happens in classical music […] just not so much in TV, film, or video games.”

It's an excellent piece from Gutter Editor Emeritus @wordcountess.bsky.social on Dragon Age, especially Dragon Age: Veilguard, and how no one is free until everyone is free. culturalgutter.com/2025/05/22/t...

Working on that job app grind today so I can play tomorrow and over the weekend. Want to work with me or have a lead on remote work? Open to any time zone. I have a doctorate, my experience is fun and vast, and I’m a quiet but fun coworker to have. DM me if you have a lead! Shares appreciated. 🖤

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

This may of interest to folks! The people involved include @kissane.bsky.social of The Covid Tracking Project (which was vital for so many of us when there was minimal information) and many others doing awesome things! Worth keeping an eye on and maybe volunteering if you have the bandwidth.

Watching Leverage: Redemption season 3 finally. It’s like a warm hug, with the downfall of fictional but familiar evil rich people as a bonus. Episode two is cracking me up. 😅

A reminder to NYC folks: don’t rank Eric Adams or Cuomo, AND fill all five spots with other candidates.

Sometimes you just need a little aquarium moment.

Related to the last repost. Also for NYC folks. The thread has a bunch of the very good points from the article.

Replace with cat. Also she gets fed like 4 times a day for a ton of reasons so technically her hope is based on actual experience.

this is so good. this is so so so good. i'm running around my office screaming the lev manovich quote about how software is ideology

If you see anyone talking about how the Amazon strike could disrupt the flow of packages:

Really impossible for me to judge whether the new Indiana Jones game is “good” when you are bonking guys on the head this often. It’s not perfect, for sure, but I just bonked a blackshirt over the head with a full-sized guitar and it made the noise and everything

@juuni.bsky.social 😆

every year around christmas time the ballet dancers who play the rats in the nutcracker come out with a series of unexplained banger tiktok videos and anyway this is my favorite part of the holiday season

18 days left of dark? ONLY 18 days! Everyone! Run outside right now! You need to absorb as much cold and gloom as you can to carry you through those hot, sunny days in August.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas~

What a ride of a thread. 😆

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Oh hey. I haven’t looked here in a while. How are you all doing? Holding on ok? Stretch and drink some water. The road is long and muddy and we’ve got a behemoth to push.

Time to move this tweet to a site that deserves it. RIP Peter Jennings.

YOU THERE, BOY! WHAT DAY IS IT??

I hosted a "Mundane Halloween" party last night! My personal pick for best costume: Deciding if organic beans are worth the price
