In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years. No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism. Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

36 years on, and the Chinese government still seeks to erase the memory of the June 1989 #TiananmenMassacre. World leaders should renew pressure on Beijing to acknowledge the Tiananmen Massacre and provide reparations to victims' families. bit.ly/3FjDLD6

I want my enemies to have less power and for us to have more. Part of that involves people who have supported bad leaders and ideas changing their minds. We don't have to be anyone's friend or forgive people, but off-ramps must exist. I think that's pretty basic.

If I sell 25 prints a day for the next couple of days I can pay my rent, which we love to do around here! Can we do it? I think we can! (All of these are currently available!) www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products

"The American Space Program, the first program to put a human being on the moon, was built by American citizens. This idea that American citizens don't have the talent to do great things, that you have to import a foreign class of servants, I just reject that."

That is a perfect movie I truly have no goddamn idea how they managed to make something as equally inspired by Looney Tunes as it is Jackass as it is Old Video Games and make it the best comedy I've seen since Popstar but my GOD they did Nothing else out there like it. Must be experienced.

happy birthday agnès, we love you and we miss you and i hope you are eating plump beautiful figs in the afterlife

In Salem MA last weekend to see friends and brought along the destroyer-of-all-things plushy. #🐕

Are you actually offended by something you've read/watched, or does it simply explore a complex and nuanced topic you feel you should immediately have a strong opinion about?

Had a great time coming up with the poster for my team's poster. Vote for 'Mole PHarm' below! #🎥

Physicist Helen Quinn was born #OTD in 1943. She is best known for Peccei-Quinn theory, a proposed explanation of the Strong CP problem of quantum chromodynamics. It implies the existence of a very light particle – the axion – which is also a dark matter candidate. 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬 Image: H. Quinn

Jake Gyllenhaal - 📽️ Stronger (David Gordon Green, 2017) The man made a career out of obsession. Stronger is an inevitable opus: a movie that doesn't allow him to fixate his eyes on some prize, instead giving him a quiet, festering fixation on his own situation and the changing shape of his future.

4 yrs ago this morning was the most surreal experience of my life. I started a hike to Fagradalsfjall at 2:00 am. Just after sunrise, the last few people out there had left. The greatest show on earth, and I had it all to myself. The deluge of emotions was indescribable, but enough to make me cry.

Penny would like you to chase her around the yard. You up for it?

Yes. People get this all wrong. It's not pain that makes art; it's the empathy and deep understanding that come from having experienced pain that do.

Would you be interested in some #doggiezen to start your week? Comet is happy to provide! (Yes, I need to mow the lawn) #🐕

MA folks, today is be a great day to call the governor and ask her what the plan is to keep ALL Massachusetts residents safe in the face of kidnappings by masked men who refuse to show warrants. *Everyone* is endangered by this. Contact info here: www.mass.gov/orgs/governo...

How about some Cosmic Zen to get your work week going?

Twilight Moon peaking over.

Happy bday! Heres a good boi being a silly guy.

May this sleepy pup provide some much needed #doggiezen going into the weekend. #🐕

If you're infuriated by what ICE & Worcester Police did to a Brazilian woman, her teenage daughter, and the school nurse they arrested for trying to protect them, there's a list of ways to speak out in this thread www.nbcboston.com/news/local/h...

Rümeysa Öztürk has been freed!!

When I visited Iceland, there was a cat at a farmhouse that I stayed at that made a beeline for my bed any second I left it. The owner said the cat's name was Spot in Icelandic and man, I wish I remembered the word.

One of the things I am in awe of about Andor is that it completely avoids any narrative of glory. It’s depicting revolution as traumatic, painful, full of impossible decisions, and loss. Doing it for glory is guaranteed failure. The cost is too high for glory to sustain it long enough to win.

In other news of the day a good boi won.

Pope Leo XIV: ‘There Couldn’t Be A Better Time To Get The Fuck Out Of America Forever’

This girl. 😭 She has made so much progress. Let's find her a forever home. She'll want a fenced yard and relatively quiet people. Other than that, she's not picky.

If you have a non-profit movie theater, film festival, archive or other institution that you admire, frequent or just want to see exist, now would be a good time to donate to them. The gutting of the NEA funding makes things only more precarious for these orgs, many of who already struggle.

SORRY, BABY expertly balances uproarious humor with a tender portrait of exploring trauma, a calibration that is always engrossing. Eva Victor crafts a captivating narrative through her controlled filmmaking, while also delivering a powerful performance. A very impactful work.
