1. In a groundbreaking lawsuit, fencer Dinah Yukich has become the first to our knowledge to sue an entity for capitulating to Trump's anti-trans executive orders in violation of state nondiscrimination law.

This kind of lawsuit could have huge ripple effects.

the funny thing about this is folks get RILED UP sayin things like 'if this is true then a painter would be a painter if they never picked up a brush' or 'an actor would be an actor if they never had a role'. YES that is the point. in art the empty space also has meaning. NOT doing also has a shape

one of my most controversial art opinions, but i do not think you need to finish a book to be an author. lots of talk on 'WHEN do you become a REAL writer? 10000 words? 1000 word?' personally i think it takes ZERO words to be a valid writer. john cage would still be a musician if he only wrote 4'33

But I haven't finished a book yet, Chuck

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

UPDATE: Israel's cabinet has approved the first stage of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal with Hamas — a move aimed at ending the two-year war in Gaza and freeing hostages on both sides.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.
