Event Horizon (1997) isn’t very scary.

🤢

Feeling life. When frogs could talk and ants paraded round my feet. When mud pies cost nothing to create and being a professional swimmer was a dream. When ghosts weaved spells and flying brooms were real. When werewolves howled in nightly fog and magick soared. Feeling life, have I ever been...me?

Did you know that in the 1980s, the East German government had forbidden making environmental data available to the public, so the partially-illegal environmental movement then established their own activist libraries to circulate crucial knowledge on the topic? (*coughs*)

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

So let me get this straight, Iran bombs Israel after Israel bombs Iran and the American government wants to go straight in. But with Ukraine they trickled weapons in and questioned if it was worth the money.

Jaws (1975) is quite gripping.

It's Juneteenth! Here are some zines I made at the local Juneteenth Market and at a Seeing Other People Photography workshop I helped put on! I love my people, I love myself, and I love zines! 1/2

The Beach (2000) is okay.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Reasons to block JDV: - he sucks - he's just a troll, desperate for attention - unlike most trolls he has a federal agency to investigate any threats to him and they are all but required by law to have no sense of humor - getting him on the Top 5 Blocked of all time leaderboard will be hilarious

Finland pulled out of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Treaty. Naturally, the comment sections of news websites are filled with people foaming at the mouth that illegal immigrants or Russians will die to them, while saying that it's impossible for civilians to do the same. Nationalism is a disease

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Thread:

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

"this is obviously just a distraction tactic" no you just think the victims of this particular cruelty are unimportant

In libraries, we call this vocational awe. The idea that if you are invested in your calling, you should accept low wages/inhumane conditions is a nasty little trick of capitalism. I’m an author, I’m hungry, I care deeply about my work, AND I deserve to be paid for it.

Breaking: the New York Times, the newspaper that Maggie writes for, spent several years stirring up a national moral panic about trans people and today the U.S. Supreme Court wrote an opinion that reflected that hatred.

We talk about the help Iran gives to Russia, but when do we talk about the Western companies that produce indispensable components for building drones at the Alabuga factory? ex: Texas Instruments 🇺🇸, TE Connectivity 🇨🇭, u-blox 🇨🇭, NXP Semiconductors 🇳🇱, STMicroelectronics 🇨🇭/🇳🇱, Analog Devices 🇺🇸, Atmel 🇺🇸

28 Weeks Later (2007) is forgettable.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu” Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell. It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible. It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

Tuntuu jotenkin nurinkuriselta, että mun pitäisi kohta saada vahvan tunnistautumisen kautta valtiolta lupa jos haluan katsoa internetistä pornoa, mutta skuuttifirmat voi vaan jatkaa kuin lakia ei olisikaan. Toi 60€ sakko jos joku skidi jää kiinni on ihan naurettava nollaseuraus.

Tämä tämä tämä. Pride ei ole juhla vaan mielenosoitus koska tasa-arvo ja ihmisoikeudet eivät ole vielä toteutuneet. Tulisipa joskus päivä kun näin on. Tulisipa päivä jolloin pridea ei enää tarvita.

The CEO would be the easiest thing to replace with AI... Think that's who they'll gut first? The solution is to stop working now before that happens... Amazon says it will reduce its workforce as AI replaces human employees ground.news/article/amaz...

Tässä on nyt sitä kokoomuspolitiikkaa pähkinänkuoressa: Kunnat eivät halua rahoittaa HSLää joka luonnollisesti johtaa tarpeeseen nostaa lipunhintoja. Joka johtaa vähempään käyttÜÜn mikä johtaa tarpeeseen nostaa lipunhintoja www.helsinginuutiset.fi/paikalliset/...

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Mental chains are the first to be broken in every successful uprising. So many of us have internalized the colonizer’s narrative and believe that empire is invincible. Don’t accept their depiction of reality. We outnumber the bloodsuckers 1000 to 1. Victory is not impossible. It’s INEVITABLE.

Would’ve thought journaling daily would make my handwriting better. But it’s just getting messier and messier.

🧵 of online zine libraries about anarchism, mutual aid, anti-fascism, and more:

Even the *good* news now is like “judge temporarily blocks administration from performing fingernail torture on people who recycle.”

Arrival (2016) is philosophically and emotionally stirring.

Hey Bluesky, let's play a game, shall we? It's called "distributing these photos as widely as possible." This man assaulted community members and threatened journalists yesterday. We sure would love to know more about him. Recognize him? Please contact us!

As an autistic person who can communicate clearly through writing but who struggles when actually talking face-to-face, internet communication has genuinely saved me from a lifetime of isolation. I shudder to think of what would have become of me had I been born any earlier.

GUYS, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT INVESTIGATE

Spaceballs (1987) has gotten old.

Olethan jo allekirjoittanut? Miltä lintuemosta täytyy tuntua, kun metsäkone kaataa pesäpuun. 😭 elainoikeusakatemia.fi/kannanotot/v...

New artsy art video is up! Chat and drawing more whimsical faces. Come and see! #art #supportartists

Olipa ikävää saada puhelu jossa tiedusteltiin miten häätää joutsenperhe pois rannalta. ”Syövät perunatkin maasta”. Sanoin että yrittäkää herranjestas tulla luonnon kanssa toimeen. Luonto yrittää samaa ihmisten kanssa. Lisäksi hoitolamme tehtäviin ei kuulu minkään eläimen häätäminen yhtään mihinkään.

New video coming today! Chat and whimsical faces. #art #supportartists

I was lucid dreaming, but then I “woke up” in another dream without realising still being in a dream.

Big tech is here to derail and destroy education GenAI is a problem and not a solution to anything

Jurassic World Dominion (2022) is a big mess which really doesn’t go anywhere.
