Art tip: don't share everything you draw. Draw things you never intend to show anyone. Your brain needs time to just exist in a state that's not about performing for strangers. This used to be the normal way to exist before social media poisoned us.

A few things you can never talk about in UK media: nations are recent social inventions, and were a bad idea; 'borders' are not physical boundaries, but capricious, arbitrary violence by the state against innocent people; people born elsewhere are inherently as valuable as people born nearby
Nate O@nateo.bsky.social · 6d agoI do not understand how there is such little pushback against a worldview that has radicalised white English men to riot in the streets and the state to commit institutional violence against all migrants, so little condemnation of an attitude fundamentally at odds with basic human decency
Thanks to some lovely friends and fam, I'm in a hostel pod between pet sits and very thankful 💖💖

This is how you end up with people conflating all discomfort with violence. “I feel bad, so I must have been wronged.” That’s not always true. Sometimes we feel badly, and it’s no one’s fault because we’re people and can’t help our ugly feelings.

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure there was never a "woke-1" and there isn't a "woke-2." There was a grassroots response to racist police violence, and another grassroots response to the ruthless takeover of the world by genocidal billionaires. ps the phrase "stay woke" is about a hundred years old

“Underlying health issues” is the new “pre-existing condition,” the excuse health insurance companies would use to refuse cancer treatment to people who had acne once.

Supporting your local music scene, going to see bands you've never heard of, bands where you don't know their material beforehand, *buying their merch*, *going to shows* in basements and tiny rooms, all these are effective anti-capitalist and anti-corporate activism. In this essay, I will…

"It’s not asking you to speak up for people you like. It’s asking us to fight for people we can’t even stand. "Because our choice is either we have a society in which we are allowed to be different from one another, or we don’t. And in the latter kind of society, a lot of us will be dead."

1. In an incredible new landmark review, the Health Council of the Netherlands has declared that gender-affirming care for trans youth works, reducing wait times is "morally urgent," and regret is rare. It is the latest of many Euro countries to advance care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.
It's not "too woke" to say that straight men who rape women should be reviled for being rapists, not tarred as secretly queer. To imply they're gay, or that they wear dresses, to distance them from manhood, is to insist that their violence is "deviant" rather than utterly banal and normative.
A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
Canadians and Northern USers, you would be shocked how well these work! Please, please, if you have the time and the money, make one.
