Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

If you ask me the next big social media trend should be looking into *alternatives* to social media for online recreation, information and activism.

Web 2.0 was (mostly) a mistake :/

Satan only knows that as long as tragedy continues in this world, established corporate news media will NEVER run out of content. Ever.

They are not true allies, they are but clout-chasing stenographers.

Cartoonist Jesse Duquette honored the guy who escaped ICE on his bike with a new cartoon.

Cartoon with a white background on the left and a black silhouette of a man on a bike with the word ANTI in black lettering at the top. On the right 1/3 it’s a black background with a heavy white figure with ICE written across his chest and it says FA at the top.

They don’t have enough officers to track every person who meets this criteria. The NSPM-7 might allow for extra judicial surveillance and spying on so-called “Leftists”, but just like in Portland, it will exhaust millions in resources for very little results.

Keep fighting, siblings.

The Trump administration isn't only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and
"entities" whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following "indicia" (indicators) of violence:
• anti-Americanism,
• anti-capitalism,
• anti-Christianity,
• support for the overthrow of the United States
Government,
• extremism on migration,
• extremism on race,
• extremism on gender
• hostility towards those who hold traditional
American views on family,
• hostility towards those who hold traditional
American views on religion, and
• hostility towards those who hold traditional
American views on morality.
"The United States requires a national strategy to investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence so that law enforcement can intervene in criminal conspiracies before they result in violent political acts," the directive states (emphasis mine).

My mental state all year as I hope for cis people to make some noise and draw the line for us trans folks.

Nico Robin from One Piece screaming "I WANT TO LIVE!!" With an overlaid trans flag. If you know the reference you know. If you don't I won't spoil the moment.
