I've been seeing a few posts floating around saying things along the lines of "I don't know enough about what's going on to say anything about Palestine"

Alright. Bet. Here's a short list of reading resources to get you started: A Thread 🧵

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

my unpopular opinion among my fellow leftists is that it’s actually a good thing when old people yell about tyrants. I know the tyrants don’t care and I know a lot of the old people stop at waving signs and yelling, but telling them they’re doing it wrong is counterproductive and, frankly, unfun

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Sailor Moon and other justice-focused media were there for my formative years. I am a product of that and probably too much Tylenol.

Underneath, in the battle section are multiple choice answers:

Here's something I'm super proud of, but never feel like I talk about enough:

Back in 2017, I fell in love with Night in the Woods so much that I made CD edits of the soundtrack so I could listen to it in the car, which naturally meant that I needed cases to hold the discs

So I made this!

Photo of my custom-made CD digipak cases for the Night in the Woods soundtrack. The two cases line up such that they show the protagonist, Mae's, face in the center.

Since I couldn't find a guide for anything like this when I first had the idea, I decided to include comprehensive instructions for the crafting portion of this project so that others could maybe learn from my experiments
