If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.
do not funnel your grief over this death into trek and x-men merch, paramount & disney dont need your money. go to plays, give to charities, vote for candidates who will fund public art, and you will make it possible for people like patrick stewart to exist and keep existing. a rising tide lifts all

“All the ‘ceasefire’ has meant is reduced media coverage.” Perfectly said.
elia ayoub@ayoub.bsky.social · 3w agoThe genocidal state cannot stop itself from continuing to commit a genocide, and all the ‘ceasefire’ has meant is reduced media coverage. Israel has never stopped murdering civilians and destroying homes.
Looking forward to the possibility of Israel voting out the guy who committed genocide in Gaza in favour of the guy who explicitly declared war crimes to be an inherent part of Israeli tactics in Lebanon And then being gaslit by the media that this counts as progress

What do you call it when secret police round up people of a certain ethnic background, concentrated in over-crowded camps, and mistreats them until many die?
Robert Downen@robertdownen.bsky.social · 4w agoA 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

When I reported my abuse I only had a couple of clear instances to rely on. One was when I kissed him consensually, but he started groping me and I tried to move his hand. Very soon we were in a physical battle where I was trying to prevent him from taking my clothes off.

Chik-fil-A recently came to Canada and there were massive lineups in their opening weeks in my city. This was last year when so many Canadians were actively boycotting US produce and products. They either don’t care, or they actually like the violent homophobia
The Incredible Bionic Shithead@lighter.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhen you talk about how homophobic chick-fil-a is to the average straight person they're like "wow that's messed up" and then they get chick-fil-a later cause mentioning it made them hungry for it.
