Close to 65k watching the livefeed from the Global Sumud Flotilla off the coast of Gaza. Israel seems to be intercepting right now. All eyes needed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEN2...

Turn the music on, here are some of the images of the "La Dance Des Morts" from 1698 showing a dancing Death and some of his dancing moves

"Dale a tu cuerpo alegría, Macarena Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegría y cosa buena Dale a tu cuerpo alegría, Macarena Hey Macarena, ay!"

So exhausting..

News about American politics (that specific kind, you know what kind) feels like slop to me, more and more like slop everyday

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

I've been wanting to get back to writing, but I can't write anything complete, which is killing me :(

Spent a day with 2 friends, I'm so happy. But I'm also really sad, so I woke up and started sewing, putting on episodes of Gintama in the background, I'm so happy. But I'm also really sad :(

Getting back to sewing and this is how fabric greets me 🥲

We are legitimately looking at a genocide against trans people in the United States. That's not hyperbole. The Department of Justice isn't talking about disarming us so that we can all live quietly in peace. There is still time to stop this, but only if cis people care enough.

There is a fierce attack on my page right now. They are even putting my account on block lists, claiming I’m fake. Many of the big pages that used to help me can’t anymore, like my friend Lexi. Please, share this post and leave a comment.

LRT Paul Spooner memo

very cool automata youtu.be/JBjgu6eJ_7M

Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.

I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.

WSJ: ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteran’s paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.... On Aug. 5, Greenwich police discovered that Soelberg killed his mother and himself in the $2.7 million Dutch colonial-style home where they lived together.

i need everyone to kill the "egg prime directive" ciscentrism nonsense immediately in a world where they are going to claim transness does not exist, thus condemning trans kids or anyone who may potentially be trans to nonexistence and death. more than ever one must be open about trans possibilities

We’re being governed by monsters. Just absolute monsters.

People working in universities know a lot of the work that makes the organization function is outsourced to for-profit companies (catering, landscaping) or runs on platforms requiring payments to such companies: Workday, Canvas, Microsoft, Zoom. This thread will be for less obvious examples. 1/

cute

15th Century painting of a man who has contracted the plague and turned in to a pillow.

What's funny is that all these GenAI companies could actually just embed compression-resistant patterns into their output that would cleanly make their stuff identifiable, but they don't, because they don't want to, because they want their slop to make everything unusable.

i'm on a fucking roll man

There's simply no joke I can make that is funnier than the real story here

makes me think of Butoh theatre, which i have a great fascination with

This Is NOT A Chain Binding But what the heck kind of pastiche IS it? Book from 1621 in the Greenlee Collection at #NewberryLibrary.

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

this work saved millions of lives in 2021, won the Nobel Prize in 2023, and is cancelled in 2025

Prohibitions are not spells. Law is not magic. When you prohibit a thing, all that means is the thing may be attended by different legal consequences than before. The thing is not extinguished by a mere prohibition: it can continue but in a different way with different (and unforeseen) effects.

well well well

World leaders have lavished praise on President Trump in order to smooth diplomatic relations — and get better deals too.

sanner processor studies？

Tweet so good, you gotta retweet it elsewhere. > why does it seem like queer liberation and racial liberation/decolonization are always placed at odds with each other?

Do not bend!

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED.

This journalist lost 12 pounds between late March and June while reporting from Gaza. The chickens struggle to lay eggs. This weekend, a newborn baby died from malnutrition. There are few words that can express how evil this is.

I actually can and will judge people who are using environmentally devastating technology built on mass theft to create a fictional partner who does nothing but tell how great they are.
