At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

“don’t give them what they want”

they are manufacturing their justifications post-hoc. they are already doing what they want. you are not responsible for the actions of your oppressor. you are only responsible for keeping your neighbors safe and that will always be seen as defiance

If dem leaders actually opposed ICE they would already be doing so.

They oppose its aesthetics, not its principles.

I'm $80 from my weekly goal! I need to hit this halfway point before I can risk buying groceries. Even small amounts add up! Sharing helps a lot. Even if you can't help, someone who sees this might be able to. Appreciate y'all!

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.

You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

How blissful it is to come from a culture (or class, or gender, etc) used to pointing the bayonet, and never know what it is to have the bayonets pointed at them.

But also utterly boring.

My biggest annoyance with "don't humanise monsters" is that it always, no exceptions, makes blander stories.
The team behind Obojima not only don’t care about Ghibli outside of the aesthetic, they also fully do not understand it. They’re either complete buffoons or actively bad people and the truth likely lies in the middle.

My fav recent "alright, everyone introduce their characters," bit was when we started a new #Mothership campaign and I had the players (in media res) interview for a crew spot on a ship. Gives everyone a quick chance to describe their character, their strengths, etc

It's Thursday and I'm still at 0 for the week. At this rate, I'll be short on rent, and going into a new month in the negative without jobs is really scary. Please help if you can, please share. I hit 700 followers today and me begging for help rarely even gets like 5 notes.
another week w/o gigs, another call for #mutualaid, unfortch. Takes about $150/wk to survive (food + shelter) & I'm at a crisis point re: unable to buy clothes since pre pandemic. Small amounts add up, shares help, & you get so much writing on my ko-fi in thanks. I have Venmo too - MirandaBrave.

GrapheneOS is great and I recommend it all the time for Android users who are concerned about spying by governments and law enforcement.

NPR today: for the first time in over 50 years we are now operating without any federal funding

Also NPR today: now for some uncritical coverage of the people who made it so that for the first time in over 50 years we are now operating without any federal funding
Love hearing an NPR reporter repeat Vought's line about "unconstitutional DEI principles" with nary a query about what the fuck that actually means. At some point we need journalists to make this administration explain some of these batshit utterances.

Why not cancel your subscriptions to the media conglomerates that are firing people and give that money directly to the people they're firing instead?

My contract was just terminated without any explanation or prior communication. Since January, I've written a lot of pieces I'm proud of for Collider. They're in this thread! I'd love to write about film and television for you. Show this to beloved editors. See replies to support me.
