Thinking about the iconic props & costume work of Knives Out (the Chris Evans sweater, the coffee mug, the interiors) & contrasting them in my head with the jarringly inauthentic staging of the sanctuary in Wake Up Dead Man

I’m offering custom-dyed handspun yarn!

The anti-trans propaganda push is one of the best examples I know of real-world disinformation in action.

I have not seen a single police/state snuff video since Eric Garner's murder in 2014, please dont do this to yourself. Its not only not necessary, but akin to lynching postcards: the emotive consumption of Black death and state "justice" is a core part of anti-blackness

Death camps.

ok jsut learned the broadness of what constitutes pudding in the UK adn am VERY cross

You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

We used to be a proper country.

normie centrists everywhere: my god ICE is monstrous and must be stopped chuck schumer: maybe *two* body cams

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Trouble! For those who minister

I do insist on calling priests Father or Mother and it's substantially bc I badly need every priest to recognize that I am their large awful son

'I believe there is nothing possible which could be greater than real, honest-to-God love' From Eric to Bert (Love letter seized as evidence from 25 Fitzroy Square in a police raid on January 1927) Happy Valentines day to all queer folk and their allies. ❤️

“A 4-month-old infant rested in a young man’s arms as he sat beside his wife in the lobby of Chelsea District Court on [February 9] — moments before plainclothes and uniformed ICE agents closed in around the family.”

This doesn’t look like much for a couple of weeks worth of spinning. Yak down is as fine as cashmere and likes a slow hand.

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕 Based on a painting of Yael by Artemisia Gentileschi

my Boomer parents were unambiguously right, here: they raised me to believe that culture and art were every bit my birthright, regardless of how much money we had. anyone who wants to tear down public access to the humanities is stealing our most precious heritage, and that theft demands *redress.*

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

The complete refusal from the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the allegations in the Epstein Files and made by Epstein survivors is also proof of what victims everywhere go through every day when authority figures refuse to do anything about what happened to them

It is weird that horrific and horrible are synonyms while terrific and terrible are antonyms tho

“If you bring forth what is within you, what is within you will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you what is within you will destroy you.” [Gospel of Thomas, 70]

It's time to come clean. I don't give a shit about the difference between a podium and a lectern. That isn't important.

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women." 😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that! "Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate." Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

also i will NEVER forget that when it was Mamdani vs Cuomo, the blue no matter who people didn't say a word about voting for the Democrat no matter what. everyone saw that.

hold on i gotta take this

There's only one state in the country that voted for Kamala Harris, & voted for a Dem governor, and where a state agency has any sort of contract with ICE's infamous 287(g) program. Massachusetts. The MA Gov says she supports it (even days after Spanberger ended Youngkin's same agreement in VA).

God this is so fucking enraging. Do better @massgovernor.bsky.social

this guy wandered up with a press box of fleas and a tooth deficit. (there's a star-shaped gash under his chin; I'd guess some machinery left that, and bashed up his gnashers for good measure.) one bath and Churu in, he's feeling a little more himself.

basically, we've utterly erased the rights & healthcare access of a vulnerable minority because a very small group (of apparently very well-connected) of people became fanatical about it & the (also very small) group who decide press coverage decided they needed relentless coverage

a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

It’s another bad day for trans people.

They already had their medical transition taken away. Suicide rates in trans children increased massively after that. And now they cannot have a true name, pronouns, clothes, haircut. They are unpersoned. Just thought you should be aware.

Folks. The latest InDesign update has AI-generated alt text when you place an image and so far it has labeled four technical drawings of load-bearing steel plates as nudes. I guess I can’t argue with the computer’s perspective

So they’re blanket banning social transition for children in my country. Just thought you should be aware.

We're seeing this in Georgia already, and in Tennessee: There's a rapidly establishing pattern of schools/churches/etc. who are afraid to make a huge ruckus when people in their communities are snatched, for fear of making the rest of the community into a target. They are missing that wider support.

The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

I had a pregnant client who was experiencing abdominal cramping for three days and was deprived of medical care. When we interceded, she was punished. A first grader snatched two days after surgery denied wound care. A client who developed a large painful cyst but was ignored. 25/

patient: doctor, i’ve tried everything i can think of! doctor: have you considered reaching out to your elected representatives? that should do the trick patient: but doctor i am chuck schumer!!!!

To me the chatbots pose zero interesting questions about the ‘nature of selfhood’ but dozens about the nature of manipulation. Here the Claude team pretends they are programming the robot for ethical responses but they land on one that is false and disingenuous.

once again, i feel compelled to remind academics that when you use theories, methods, and epistemologies of the marginalized but treat your marginalized colleagues and students like shit: you are the problem. and yeah, we see you.

So apparently the reason the MBCR has been a catastrophe this winter is that the new signal mechanisms they installed at great expense and inconvenience a few years ago (no weekend service for months at a time) go haywire when exposed to road salt.

Oh, you think you walk the path of Christ? Name one sex worker who would weep over your death

This article lists the JFK Federal in Boston as the planned site for more ICE in Massachusetts @universalhub.com

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor
