Even if I can't pick up a new book, I've taken to requesting my library to get it if they haven't.

Begone, Aranofsky.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Every video I've seen of his has been so pure and genuine. This is a beautiful message from one beautiful person to other beautiful people.

These are teh questions that need answering

Quote with 5 jobs you’ve had: (Yes, volunteering and internships also) 1. Interlibrary loan researcher 2. Porn store clerk 3. Model 4. TTRPG editor 5. Lobbyist

Simple sabotage is often an act which the citizen performs according to his own initiative and inclination.

(still considering getting a couple of bearhorns.) (yeah, they're airhorns, but I keep encountering them camping in the mountains when alerting/deterring bear, so now they're "bearhorns" to me.)

Hell. Is not. Hot. Enough.

WE WILL INCREASE THE THING. (alt text of image in quoted post: A tweet from Megyn Kelly over at The Bad Place that reads "The whistles should be banned.")

good news on the peaceful capture of Big Kitty front, shout out to our ACC and zoo folks

People from outside the area can't be expected to know that Raygun is a jokey t-shirt store that will also be a loadbearing part of the Iowa liberation struggle

I reached out to Raygun to confirm if they were told directly that ICE was expected in Des Moines today. Response from their owner, Mike Draper:

"Whaddya mean they look out for each other? Nobody does that unless they're getting paid!"

Keep feet on necks.

May he never eat clean food the rest of his days.

Folks are trying to avoid shame here and I don't think we should allow it. You aligned with hate, that is shameful. Yes you can grow from, but you must take responsibility for the decisions you made.

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com Can't put pictures in messages. Forgot.

I fell into deathwork "by accident." Sometimes I wonder if it was to help the old world die.

i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity — tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isn‘t open doesn’t mean they won’t be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app

"deliberately cultivate an air of mystery."

I know this year wont be easy but I’ll still have joy and beauty in my life.

People never really understand how surreal being black is

you can be forgiven for making, what you now realize to be, a mistake that led us here you just have to be okay with nobody ever, ever trusting your judgement again it's a pretty fair deal, honestly.

California just joined the World Health Organization. I love it.

Folks about to learn in real time how they ACTUALLY treated people during the Civil Dights movement and the Civil War

Impromptu "work" talk at a friend's house with visitors. Held the room in silence, made some folks cry. Melted a couple of brains. I forget how much I know, how sharp it is, and how I wield it.

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

We've made this Sinister Minnesotans shirt from our Stan Kelly comic this week. Net proceeds from this shirt will be donated to local organizations doing their part to keep Minnesotans safe and send ICE agents home to ruin their own fucking communities. Fuck ICE and stay strong, Minneapolis.

In honor of the strike in Minnesota and hopefully nationwide, let's learn about the impact of general strikes and why we need more of them now, shall we?

Sending love to Minneapolis.

*gnaws on a cinder block*

You're being judged right now.

Facing the whole complicated truth of the atrocities perpetrated in the name of supremacy and domination and then looking baldly at the lies, erasure and myths created to avoid healthy guilt and reparation Is absolutely necessary to create any kind of better world.

Until this country sits down and does its shadow work, it will keep walking into the same wall.

Psst... @whatashrinkthinks.com It's here.

Wanted to see this, glad it never came to be.

Hell is not hot enough for these fuckers. Which means it's up to us.

I know. But we have to try. We're not allowed to not TRY. History would rightly never forgive us. If we fail the Second Reconstruction, let it not be because we didn't do everything remotely within our power to ensure the future doesn't have to deal with our failures.

I'm too low for all of this right now. May be time for crochet, bath, and bed.

I'm sorry, abolishing ICE is now off the table as the centrist compromise. The floor is now The Hague.

"Closed Friday." (Somebody else has to remember the original t shirt too)

... today beat my ass.

There are reasons to let your freak flag fly. Shine bright so we can find each other.

Listen to me... all the people we have been warned not to trust The Horny The Poor The rebellious The agitator The unusual The Punk The disenfranchised embody prophetic urgency in the earth realm
