They should invent an internet where you can be online AND happy

Make Art (1/4)

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

Okay, so.... I did the thing. I started a GoFundMe for Jen and I. I feel very upset with myself for it getting this far. I know it's a lot, but the smallest donation (or even share) helps a ton. Thank you for the help. I mean it. gofund.me/4704f98e

A lot of us know Bianca in the comics community, pls help by sharing the donation link www.paypal.com/paypalme/bia...

Ban LLMs and generative "A.i." from your life.

A lot of people still think the only real problem is Trump and soon as he’s gone, everything can start to get back to normal.

It’s very hard right now to find things you can do to actually help with the crashing of the world around our ears. But putting a mask on is absolutely one, it’s not that difficult, and it does save lives and protect people. It’s one of the easiest things you can do to be a good neighbor.

They're about to shut off the internet to Gaza after a month of isolating everyone from food aid. We don't really have much time left to support these folks. Yasmein is my friend at this point and every spare coffee's worth can keep them going. Guys, just a coffee will do. Come on eh??

Reminder: You are resilient and can overcome life’s challenges. You believe in the power of empathy and compassion to create a better world. You deserve the same kindness you give to others and you extend that kindness to yourself. You make a difference. You will stay strong. I'm proud of you

Every part of this is senseless and destructive.

pretty pretty please!

"Cruelty is the central tenet of right wing ideology. It is at the heart of everything they do. They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this" newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Ngl I would love it if a bunch of people just went “what? This is silly. What are we even doing? Let’s go to that new crab shack down by the beach. I hear it’s real nice. Shrimp cocktail anyone?” right about now.

Sketch break time ( procrastination from comic work really....) Suggest characters I can redesign.

Watch them go after signal because they used it improperly.

Something’s shifted.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

I think this story is really important, because it illustrates the whole thing ordinary citizens have to do. When you see something unjust, you have to say no, you have to defy it, and you have to accept that it’s going to feel uncomfortable and even dangerous. That is what kills fascism,every time.

Small question: is it normal to see an uptick in mentions of genetic testing?

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there. If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it. Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

I have had it up to here with these horrors

i find this notion that public spending is illegitimate bizarre as a matter of economics but totally legible as a statement of moral economy. and as per any strict system of morality, the punishment is part of the appeal. they are punishing the american people for believing in the public good.

YUP I just checked and this was turned on in my Zoom as well. I had to turn it off from the 'More settings' options in the website -- the option to do so wasn't offered in Zoom itself. >:(

Resharing this cause we still owe a lot on past due and any bit helps a lot
