Are you having trans guests on your shows? Are you supporting trans creators patreaons? Are you watching movies/shows by trans creators. Are you reading comics/books by trans artists/authors? Are you elevating trans voices in discussions? Are you actively harassing transphobic politicians?
“There is evil in those hills…” It’s SO cool to have new Galadriel shots with all the upgrades! I really love how the wig turned out and the whole colour palette ☺️ Photos by @sennedjem.bsky.social #theringsofpower #tolkien #galadriel #cosplay #trop
this is a small thing but it would be nice to feel good about paying taxes. i would like to write a check to the government and think about kids going to school and freshly paved roads not all the death squads my income helps fund.
The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
this week's post is about palestine, the history of zionism, and anecdotes about israeli anarchist friends of mine from years ago who were living in exile to avoid joining the IDF margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/77-years-a...
Donate to mutual funds. Take a first aid course. Offer to help others with yard work or errands. Check in on your friends, family & vulnerable community members. Contact your senator. Help out at a food bank. Do not give up. The road is long & small positive actions ripple outward.
The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.
Remember, they hate trans joy, they hate gay joy, they hate Black joy, they hate Native joy, etc. they hate when we can laugh and love and live our lives in our own skin. They hate that we can find our way without their rigid rules. To find joy and thrive is a great act of resistance too.
Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.
My rage knows no bounds
i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence
Something something, doomed lovers and entanglements with the goddess of death. Worth braving the Raleigh heat and bugs to shoot with 2 of my favorite people. Everything from this shoot is amazing. Vax- me Keyleth- @adoylible.bsky.social Photos- @amiephotos.bsky.social #criticalrole
"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'." MBA-brain is real.
They’re literally advertising it.

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign had a visual language like no other, drawing on hand-painted bodega signage and New York iconography in a completely fresh way.

In a time of “campaign to the right to win back alleged centrists,” the consultant class has been utterly embarrassed. All of them should go into exile. We don’t want to hear it anymore! It does not work! Here’s even more proof. Get absolutely *fucked.* Fight for everyone, always, or step aside.
I think what establishment democrats need to understand is that most of us hate them all very much for being so persistently useless and shitty in our time of desperation and it fills our hearts with hope and joy when someone who might not be those things beats them.
'live action' adaptations of animation projects offends me. setting aside the cultural disrespect toward animation on a whole, it's a fundamental dismissal of animation as narrative -- the point of drawing is inherently allegorical and abstract. the metaphorical nature of animation IS the story

I keep forgetting to post here, but I'm back on my leather working nonsense and making a new Death Walker's Ward for Vax. My original EVA foam build is looking Rough so it's time for some more sustainable materials.
