TBH - if you're using Spotify, this seems like a good reason to stop. Certainly seems like a good reason to cancel your subscription to their premium service if you have one.
We have confirmation from Spotify that it is running ads for ICE - thanks for heads up from @oiedecravan.bsky.social

Yes I still remember specific friends and the landline numbers for their homes. Peter, Rachel, Samantha, Peyton, Florida—I could call their homes right now if I thought those lines were still connected.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/
Tonatiuh’s two songs are hands down the best, in performance but also just in the music writing itself. In my opinion.
I really enjoyed it! And I’m a big musical theatre person and this was so strange because I actually don’t love the music, like it was fine, but it didn’t really matter because of the B movie style and the whole point was the power of art, good or not, in times of struggle and loneliness.

🚨 Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago answers this question brilliantly. 1/2
There were 4 people including me in my showing today. 😞
Looks like it’s getting bad reviews and I’d even agree with some of them for certain parts, but I knew nothing about this going in except for the titular song and I was really moved by the story and the performances.
Y’all, don’t sleep on Kiss of the Spider-Woman!! A grounded drama in a political uprising meets a classic B movie musical meets a queer love and acceptance story. Gorgeous. I loved it so much. #scriptsky

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.

Here’s how my 1st ever GENERAL meeting went…

Exec: I read Joint Custody; I’m a big fan!
Me: Thank you.

Exec: How long have you been in LA?
Me: 3 years.

Exec: You work on The Office - what’s that like?
Me: Fun.

Exec: My assistant will be in to validate your parking.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆
I will watch this clip every time it comes up. This production was so good.
whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing
This movie is so good! I’d never seen a Predator movie before but I saw the trailer and told my husband we had to watch it and it did not disappoint. Would love to see this in a theatre!

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

When someone uses or shares "AI" generated images, video, text, etc. they are condoning the unfettered, outright theft that makes any of it possible. They are saying they do not want new art, movies, books, music, or anything else.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
I went to the Atlanta screening of @izball.bsky.social’s film D(e)ad and had such a great time. This movie was a delight! @vicmmic.bsky.social was incredible. I laughed a lot, I cried, and I left so inspired to just MAKE good things with good people. Support indie film! #scriptsky
Well fingers crossed. But so far so good, they certainly let me make the appointment knowing what I’m trying to get. I’m not counting this vaccine egg until it hatches though.
I’m in Georgia so working on a getting a prescription from my doctor to then take to a pharmacy.
