Hot dang this video essay hits hard, is well researched, and aligns so well with what I think ails this world.
I feel that now, more than ever, solidarity of the 99% will truly be one of the few things that can fix this absolute mess of a techno feudal-ish world.

For all the mfers who say workers just serve coffee, just deliver packages, just stock shelves, just clean rooms, just prep food, or just check in guests, remember this, they keep our communities running every day. And when they’re on a picket line, you respect it.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Abolish ICE.
Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

This short (The Big Snooze, 1946) is probably one of the ten best cartoons ever made. Take it from me: a freak of nature.
I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

creators share 90% of their work for free, so what ends up for sale is a small fraction to gather income and support. treating creators like they aren't already sharing freely riles me up.
also: libraries exist, you can read books for free without stealing while supporting authors at the same time

People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”
Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.
