Robert Redford was an early supporter of Ms., the feminist magazine cofounded in 1971 by Gloria Steinem. For the October 1975 “Special Issue on Men,” that was Redford’s back—with an issue of Ms. in the back pocket of his jeans—on the front cover. nymag.com/news/feature... #feminism #RIPRobertRedford

What a great film. For everyone of my journalism generation, this is the news business we were hoping for. Big newsrooms, fearless editors, valued reporters. We started entering into the biz just 10 years after Watergate, and found to our dismay that's NOT what the biz was now.

censorship is continuing to get worse 💔❤️‍🩹 we are tired but i know we're also determined!! if you took a break, or if you haven't started making calls and writing letters yet, now is a great time to jump in 🤝🧡

Since we are supporting work by trans folks, Finders//Keepers was collected along with the 4 other Horizon Experiment books into a trade 🖖🏾🤠

As a public figure himself, Kirk did not restrict himself to politeness. He was incredibly crude and cruel about the deaths of other people. Reflecting on his life should reflect the truth.

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

NEW: At least 2 people were being transported to a Denver-area hospital after a shooting involving an “active assailant” at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County, officials said Wednesday afternoon // Story by @katielang.bsky.social

Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.

I highly recommend you get all three if you can; they're so nice, like a comforting hug 🤗 ko-fi.com/s/3aea887e6e

For @queerzestzinefest.bsky.social, which is happening all month long, I've released a handful of new digital zines in my shop! Next week I'll have stickers and physical zines available for purchase. Please share!

My zines can be purchased here going forward. Currently I have the Scream zine and my recent lesbian vampire zine for sale, IRL and/or PDF. My next zine is going to be about the X-Men and I'm already a little exhausted thinking about it 😂 sara-century.square.site

HAPPY FLYTRAP TUESDAY!! This week, @freeblackgirl.bsky.social delves into Netflix's documentary about "The Biggest Loser", reflecting on the fatphobic show's history and its role in pop culture: the-flytrap.ghost.io/netflix-fit-...

Marvel wasn't seeing a dime from me outside of Ultimates, and it seems that will continue to be the case. "I know this is dangerous, but look how quirky this is 🤪" is a piss poor take from one of your lead editors and shows zero commitment to defend the artists you're working with. Shame and ugly.

“Fatties for a Free Palestine” shirts, y’all! I can’t be the only one who wants one of these.

I want you to follow @saracentury.bsky.social because her writing, zines, and books are FANTASTIC and she's also a great photographer! I had so much fun this day!

I want a club mashup of the money songs from Mamma Mia and Cabaret Who do I know who can make this happen for me

One if the criteria for getting it for free in Alberta is obesity! Finally a system that hates us, working in our favour!

BMI is bullshit. If your doc has ever tut-tutted that you need to lose weight - which is like 80% of all Americans - use it to get your jab.

"Obesity" doesn't actually make you more likely to contract COVID or suffer from LC. That said, if "obesity" qualifies you to get the vaccine under the CDC's awful, dangerous new rules, *use that to your advantage.* Bringing back a blog entry I wrote on this issue in 2021:

Please read this. Get vaccinated if you can. Whatever your “risk status,” if you can mask, please do.

These restrictions will unfortunately decrease COVID vaccination rates because although many are high risk according to the CDC's list:

 - you may need documentation of high risk status - not everyone has a doctor - doctors may be hesitant to provide documentation
 - insurance may not cover

It's official: Updated COVID vaccines have been approved by the FDA, but with restrictions. Moderna: 6 months and up if high risk Pfizer: 5 years and up if high risk Novavax: 12 years and up if high risk Anyone 65 years and up is eligible for updated COVID vaccines regardless of risk status.

Opinion: Mental illness in Black people is criminalized, and Lil Nas X being thrown to the ground and arrested is no laughing matter, Mey Rude writes.

No More Police: If you want to dive deeper, our co-founders @prisonculture.bsky.social and @dreanyc123.bsky.social wrote an entire book about policing, and why cops don't stop violence. You can check out book-related resources, including interviews, a discussion guide, and more: bit.ly/NoMorePolice
