Drew a chibi Astarion to help me announce some stuff on my patreon and figured I'd share him with bsky too

He's saying hi and asking if you could bring the snacks for movie night. Iris believes he can taste the cookies through their blood so its gonna be cookies for both 😉🤭

Welcome to Night Vale @nightvaleradio.bsky.social · 2h

Get your holiday sweatshirt in plenty of time for those holiday parties. Because everyone should celebrate All Smiles Eve.

Find it here: buff.ly/zPvFdEF

A dark green sweatshirt with a large design covering the front. At the top and bottom are red lines, which look like ladders set on their sides. Inside each empty box alternates a tooth and star. Below this in yellow fancy letters is "Season's Greetings". Below this is a a Sun with rays stretching out. Below this is a large mouth stretching across the sweatshirt with white teeth and sharp incisors displayed. Holiday lights wrap around the lips. On either side of the mouth are two cactus. Below this in yellow font is "All Smiles Eve".

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

How One Battle After Another Imagines an Armed Left

The rebels in Paul Thomas Anderson’s movie resemble the Weather Underground less than the right’s conspiratorial image of “antifa supersoldiers.”

This is exactly backwards, the no kings protests are a mass movement of regular people that have every republican politician in the country raging about "hate America rallies," and the online protest industry weirdos who say shit like "radlib" to each other are the ones skimming off the top of them

it is no wonder that 50501, a movement of radlibs who are very upset but don’t want to get in trouble, would be boosting superficial activism.

superficial activism has its place, but if that place is front and center, it kills whatever movement it is skimming off the top of.

This dogshit AI "boom" is about the denial of death.
We had our time with Marilyn. It was beautiful and funny and achingly sad in the end, but WE HAD OUR TIME. We shouldn't be able to make Back to the Future 4, 5 and 6 at the push of a button because WE HAD OUR TIME.
Time to grow up.

Overheard this same kid telling himself "There are people who aren't as fast as you. You have to be patient with them." Further evidence that he's a young hero in training.

Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · May 21

There's a kid in my neighborhood who is always running. Yesterday I saw him stop, pull out a tiny bound notebook, open to the center and quickly scan the contents with a look of deep contemplation. He tapped the page with the back of his hand, said "Yes. Become stronger," and broke back into a run

Win10 users, today's the day they make all big holes in your PC and all the hackers swarm into them...

...unless you click "no thanks actually" in which case they just actually keep supporting Win10 for another year for some reason. here's how:

James Wallis @jameswallis.bsky.social · 1d

Windows 10 users in the EU and UK, you can get free Extended Security Updates for a year just by:
> Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates. Click.
Scroll down to Enrol in Extended Security Updates (or similar wording).
Click on it.
Follow prompts.
Bingo, you're good for a year.
