I am clearly a very serious adult who is embracing her feral 40s.

Here is my fully naked face, post-shower. Given my past life choices around 💊🌿🚬 🍸and my usual skincare routine being what I fondly call “the Courtney Love routine” (iykyk) - overall I’m not doing too badly at aging gracefully 😹

xoxo love you always, Ange darling.

I appreciate the heartfelt support 💕

Haha which one?

Musing on growth as this is my birthday week. In my 20s I threw raucous house parties - or events in third spaces - with lots of casual making out with pals.

Now? I have three separate professional obligations - two screenings for my films, one arts market - and have made zero personal party plans.

October is the best month.

The collective mass trauma of Palestine is the collective mass trauma of the ICE raids is the collective mass trauma that was the Sixties Scoop is the collective mass trauma…

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Dunno who needs to hear this, but anything that does not centre supporting and nurturing Mother Earth and our most vulnerable community members (ie persons with disabilities, seniors, children, etc) is not in humanity’s best interest as a species.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law

“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

The solution to homelessness is not forced institutionalizations.

It’s social supports. Healthcare. Housing. Education. Harm reduction. A universal basic income.

Anyone can become homeless at any time. It’s not a personal failing.

We must fix it together.

Keep talking about Rodney Taylor! Please, call your officials about him!

Officials need to know that we're paying attention, we're furious, and that fury isn't going to die down the way they hope.

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 18d

Rodney Taylor still needs our help!

He’s still locked in an ICE camp.

He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs.

He’s still facing deportation to Liberia.

He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored.

Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE

Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Just some #filmsky thoughts because Titanic 4K recently crossed my timeline: Kate Winslet - and all other women! - deserve so much better than the rampant fatphobic press + media messaging that wanted us to believe that she was a) fat and b) somehow unacceptable or 'less than' in any way whatsoever.

There’s far more child molesters in the clergy and in Western churches than there are in many other circles

Dunno who needs to hear this, but just because a megalomaniac narcissist tells you that something is the truth it doesn’t mean that you have to believe them or support their delusions.

The true enemy of the narcissist is often independently-verified observable facts.

Case in point: Portland.

Thousands took to the streets of Pamplona, Spain, demonstrating in solidarity with Gaza and denouncing ongoing Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.

Such a classic!

Emily Spooky 🎃👻🔪 @emilyschooley.bsky.social · 18d

It’s like the “nice guys” who go around telling everyone else that they’re such nice guys.

Meanwhile, they have nothing but angry excuses for why women don’t want to date them, and why every close relationship has failed.

Emily Spooky 🎃👻🔪 @emilyschooley.bsky.social · 18d

Dunno who needs to hear this, but individuals who are decent humans and who genuinely care about others’ wellbeing - ie not narcissistic, sociopathic, etc - don’t have to constantly go around loudly telling others how “good” or “right” they are.

Actions speak louder than words.
