"Zines are not frivolous, or marginal, but sites of great significance in the history of communication and democratic participation ... exploring both their content and style is a useful way to trace the long history of patient resistance." @hspandler.bsky.social on the importance of madzines.

As a doctor, I say this: before we even consider assisted dying, fix how we care for the most vulnerable | Zubir Ahmed

NEW VIDEO!!! I have been getting more and more annoyed at Burnham's cutsey ordinary bloke cosplay so i decided to look at how his re-industrialisation strategy just makes him a merchant of death within global US hegemony. Manchesterism is a death machine! (Link below)
Most transphobia, or so it seems to me, is about wanting culturally contingent hierarchies and identity scripts to be Inscribed in Nature in some deep way that obviates the need for reflective examination, and getting very anxious and angry about anything that makes it clear that’s a fantasy.
Eric Columbus@ericcolumbus.bsky.social · last wk.The term “transphobic” is so inadequate for bigotry like Hegseth’s. He doesn’t fear trans people like some fear spiders or heights. He hates them with a passion. It’s an evil choice, not a psychological malady.
The big question is - who to believe? Reform UK which is paid £millions by fossil fuel companies to perpetuate the myths of climate denial ... or 100% of peer-reviewed climate scientists who've been warning of more frequent and intense weather disasters for decades meme via Phytomemetics
Random reminder that the GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — while making cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.
One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and in 1949 he won an Oscar for ‘Battleground’.
My god I wish I was rich. I'd buy all the copyright permissions needed to publish my analysis of the media's sexist coverage of women political leaders. Too bad I'm not the owner of an LLM, who can steal as much intellectual property as they wish - AND profit from it! No, I'm just an academic 🙃
Pretty astounding that BBC News goes with this headline rather than, say, the removal of disability benefits from millions of British citizens.
Everything about the Grenfell fire and the cladding company, building management and the government itself: pure Fallout logs stuff, the kind of thing you’d find in the ruins of bombed out basement of a regional corporate HQ
Grenfell cladding firm Arconic paid shareholders £23m more in compensation than to fire victims
Report’s author said findings highlighted ‘near-total failure’ to hold corporations accountable over the disaster that killed 72 people
