"The modern smartphone, laden with the corporate ecosystem pulsing underneath its screen, robs us of this feeling, conspires to keep us from “true” fullness. The swiping, the news cycles, the screaming, the idiocy — if anything destroys a muse, it’s this."

A friend just told me I am her most evil friend.

Had the opportunity to review ‘Shucked’ and it was well worth staying up past midnight to turn in the assignment the next morning.

Unfortunately it’s illegal for poor people to have fun.

Guy who has been banned from every leftist party: "You're all doing it wrong"

@cascadiaresistance.bsky.social its time to push them back. These fucking terrorists do not belong on our land. Theyre the bad guys

This really captures my experience holding babies.

It's theatre season and I'm back on my review bullshit.

This Day in Labor History: October 19, 1980. The Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU) forced the textile company J.P. Stevens to sign a contract for the first time in North Carolina and Alabama. Let's talk this epic campaign, made famous by the film Norma Rae!

President Trump's $20 billion bailout of Argentina is meant to bolster his right-wing ally President Javier Milei ahead of legislative elections this month. But the move could "backfire," says journalist Pablo Calvi.

🛢️ Zenith Energy update 🧵 🛢️ Last week, Oregon DEQ approved Zenith's air permit. DEQ officials argued publicly that the permit represents an improvement in air quality because of supposed concessions. Instead, adding risk to an already highly risky situation is a betrayal of the public interest.

Today, OFNHP members went on strike after Kaiser’s refusal to agree to a contract that addresses concerns about proposals that would weaken care, shortchange staffing, and drive skilled healthcare workers away. Stand in solidarity with Kaiser workers here: form.jotform.com/251634890806...

Y’all won’t use plastic straws but you’re using GROK to plan your workouts??????????? Go dive off a street curb into a pool of trash bag juice.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Happy Anita Bryant Humiliation Day

I recently participated in the third game of TELEPHONE, a game played by artists across the world. The last few months of my life have been difficult but it was a pleasure to be handed a writing project. You can trace my story back through dozens of other art pieces back to the source.

In Oregon nurses and residential care facility workers are SIX times more likely to be injured at work than police.

‘Locked up for 24 years’: joy and sorrow as Palestinian prisoners and detainees return home

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Trump has begun dismissing federal workers, with furloughed staff at the Department of Health and Human Services now facing permanent layoffs. The cuts are hitting the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention especially hard.

A couple of years ago, the Democrats in the Oregon legislature passed a domestic terrorism law over of the objection of civil liberties advocates, environmentalists, and ordinarily reasonable Oregonians who told them this would only be used against the left. It fits right in with Trump’s strategy.

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

“It’s here to stay.” “It’s not going anywhere.” “Get used to it.” Notice the robotic repetitive propaganda that tech billionaires spit into the mouths of proponents like a mother bird feeding babies is never about ethics, always about force, while pretending the force is natural not man made.

“We’ve put together a reading list about capitalism, imperialism, policing, and the politics and strategies of anti-war resistance movements of the past and present — tools in the struggle against repression, surveillance, and state violence.” (via @dansinker.com) [haymarketbooks.org]

Trump is demanding nine colleges and universities sign a "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education." These demands will come to all of higher ed if we don't stand together and fight back now. Tell our college and university administrations: Reject the Compact! tinyurl.com/rejectthecom...

Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists. A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back. Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.

“We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’”

“how much is Starbucks paying (or avoiding) in Oregon income taxes? Unfortunately, that information is secret — at least for now. It’s high time Oregon lawmakers ended this secrecy by requiring big corporations to disclose key tax information.”

@philippesands.bsky.social examines Pinochet’s Chile, the Nazis, and how democracy erodes into fascism.

I read somewhere recently that what the rich really want is slavery and it's hard not to read this article through that lens

“I’m English on my mom’s side and ethnically a kidnapper on my dad’s”

Everything is stupid and dangerous right now, *but* we have an opportunity to make a least one thing less stupid and dangerous. Please submit a comment to the PDX city planners asking them to prevent any further expansion of liquid fuel storage at the CEI Hub and mandate a fuel drawdown. 👇

Whenever anarchism — or any idea more radical than the status quo — gets dismissed as unserious, it's worth remembering the current system runs on things like "we put all the money on a scam machine that tells rich dipshits they're god."

wait it's possible to move from pilot studies to permanent implementation of basic income? please tell everyone except Andrew Yang about this

The Mainstream Media Is Catastrophically Failing To Meet The Moment. “Mainstream media has become so terrified of appearing biased that they’ve abandoned their basic responsibility to clearly communicate truth to the public.” [techdirt.com]

Ready to send some letters.

Interesting piece to write as the president sends troops to occupy major blue cities
