I want people to displace the imaginary depictions of *revolutions* that they have come to create in their heads with the actual small revolutionary acts that happen daily. We might get closer to revolution that way.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.
Remembering us is not enough.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?
A week before he voted to cut Medicaid, Republican Congressman Rob Bresnahan dumped up to $130,000 worth of stock in four companies that manage nearly half of all Medicaid enrollees in the country.

Rep. Rob Bresnahan sold stock in several Medicaid providers before voting for cuts
The Pennsylvania Republican is one of several members who have come under scrutiny for stock trading as Congress eyes a potential ban.

I'm a trans person w/ a trans kid & we lose trans siblings every year to hateful violence. On Trans Day of Remembrance we're called not only to collectively mourn those we've lost, but to renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who are still here.

Sauceless Behaviour can be:
- pointless shading on a solid design
- over-rendering a face to give you something to do
- an unnecessary noise/paper texture overlay
- what if I just painted in some details over the top

One of the best things to recognise in yourself as a creative person is when you are Sauceless.
Not art blocked. Not struggling with a difficult creative problem.
Being Sauceless is when you've done good work but have been staring at it for too long, and risk making it worse through noodling.

What really stands out to me about the Katie Wilson and Zohran Mamdani wins is that organizers are PIVOTAL in securing progressive change locally. Thousands of volunteers making continuous, sustained efforts are what secured these wins, and it’s how we will continue to make positive change.

the man has admitted to sexually assaulting people and was legally proven by a court of law to be sexually assaulting people (a notoriously hard thing to do) but I’m sure this new evidence that he was sexually assaulting people will really wake up the base.
