We always talk about whiteness being a vague concept. Its a political identity more than a racial one, despite the fact race is such a huge part of it. That anti ad ice is a great example. If you didn't know it was an anti ice ad, you'd have assumed the woman in it was white. She looks white

Constantinople: hey, Venice, there must be some mistake, why did the Fourth Crusade just redirect toward our city? Everything’s cool, right? the wily Venetian Doge:

What message does it send, especially to women, that the democrats will pull out all the stops to rally around a disgraced fucking rapist rather than let a socialist win a single mayoral election? I’m so tired of this shit dude

I've slapped together approximately 173 pages of material that aims to teach programming a personal website with HTML and CSS to artists, animators, writers, music producers, etc. F*ck It, Let's Make a Website Part 1 is now live ✨ Go here to read: bit.ly/filmawPartOne More info below 👇

So is it gonna end up like mount everest where dead bodies of the unsuccessful just become part of the route?

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

I forgot to put this in my planner, which means it stopped existing three minutes after I said I would do this.

Directly support trans kids & adults. Today. Tomorrow. They need it.

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

There was a period Facebook app made it basically impossible to send messages through the app - you had to use the stand alone messenger app. I found that so annoying (I did not want the messenger app) I ended up deleting the facebook app altogether. /1

There will come a day when all of us have access to the gender-affirming healthcare we need without gatekeeping or financial barrier. It may not be in my lifetime but it will come, no matter how terrified these fuckers are of that inevitability.

I may work a bit longer on this once it’s dry… another portrait with the Monday evening group, another stunning sitter (Maggie)! 3hr pose Oil on canvas, 27x20cm #oilpainting

ngl watching Richmond shiv Levar Stoney’s political ambitions (and by extension the whole T-Mac machine) is just so fuckin beautiful

Hmmm... seems bad that Senate Dems are pretending not to know anything about this specific provision in the bill when asked by @ericmgarcia.bsky.social... Seems like coordinated faux ignorance.

I keep seeing stories about "a person is marrying a ghost / the Eiffel Tower / an AI / themself / the Heimlich manouevre", and like. The options are --they are deeply unwell --they are a crazed publicity hound --they are ridiculing equal marriage laws and in no cases is this good stuff to share.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Had a dream that I was pitching a Game Changer segment to Sam that was just a long slide where everyone died when they went down and was called “Homi-Slide.”

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

i recommend everyone cut off their bad parents if they have any capacity to. you're an adult. if they aren't paying your rent you don't owe them shit.

The older I get, the more that Toni Morrison quote resonates. She was on to something. And it goes farther than just racism.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

We talk about cult deprogramming a certain part of the political spectrum, but we really need to add "If they wanted to they would/They're just not that into you" explainers for party loyalists. Girl they are GONE. Stand up.

Turtle Mutual Aid:

I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

So I've got a DnD party of OCs, whom I like to draw smooching each other on my -ahem- other account. But! I love them in sfw ways too! This instance I wanted to do costume construction design♥ #ocs #costumedesign #characterdesign

The flipside of course, and this is equally if not more important, is that I would ask my Dear Liberal Friends to consider what the proper response is to something like this. LAPD shooting at a completely peaceful protest, for no articuable reason. bsky.app/profile/raph...

No goddamn kings. #art #nokings

Well well well.

Not trying to be all tinfoil hat here but the speed with which cops are saying "these handwritten sheets of paper we found in the car of someone assassinating liberal lawmakers who we are shockingly bad at catching mean you need to cancel your protests" makes me wonder a thing or two
