So fucked.

our bodies spent millions of years developing alarm systems to warn us of impending doom, and I'm just supposed to ignore all of them all day and focus on work

HEY REMEMBER THIS?? bad-faith-times.ghost.io/we-need-to-s...

I'm not religious but I believe in the holy trinity.

We're all going to get so sick of this cartoon

There are songs that people stop actually hearing because of their use in ads and so forth, and it often takes a surprising context to get the ear to appreciate what’s good about them again. Great example.

Not a single person saying this is going to work one of these jobs, nor have they likely ever worked these jobs in the past. But also, what made these jobs bearable was they were well-paying union jobs where you traded monotony, physical toil for a good middle-class life. They aren’t offering that.

Going to see Clown in the Cornfield, only movie I'm getting to see in person at #PanicFest2025 at Screenland Armour. Repping @horrorqueers.bsky.social , after reading the books in bookclub.

Create your own double feature #filmsky Okay, mine is insane, but it’s two movies that embrace the aesthetic of being filmed on a sound stage

Every Transgender Day of Visibility is on March 31st. The Matrix was released on March 31st, 1999. Every Transgender Day of Visibility is a Matrix Anniversary. March 31st: Watch the Matrix, Love from and to the Wachowskis.

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! This Ends at Prom only works because of @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social’s sharped-tongue, coming-of-age experiences as a trans woman who came out in 2009, AND the fact she edits every single episode herself. Thank you for supporting trans-hosted and produced podcasting.

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."

It's important to remember those who fought for visibility...and pledge to stand up for those still waiting to be seen. Even as the fight continues, please know that there is love to be had in this world and you matter beyond words - not just on this Trans Day of Visibility, but always.

'Heathers' was released on this day in 1989. From the archives, a look back at its reception and influence: flavorwire.com/448044/celeb...

My big friend in the Midwest. (This is a South Dakota deep cut.)

Just finished audiobook of @josie.zone 's Ringmaster, after hearing her guest spot on Conspirituality podcast with @matthewremski.bsky.social . The book was great at explaining wrestling to a non-fan like me, as well as linking it to the current neokayfabe of today.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all my trans homies and eggs out there. Shit's real bad right now, but you're stronger than them. Much stronger. Keep living your truth. Love to you all.

March 31, 1930 Motion Picture Production Code is instituted, imposing strict guidelines on the treatment of sex, crime, religion and violence in film, in the U.S., for the next thirty-eight years. Thou Shalt Not, a 1940 photo by Whitey Schafer deliberately subverting some of the Code's strictures

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5. This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

If you haven't watched it, and even if you have, it's always a good time to see CRIP CAMP - the second half focuses on the 504 protest and the incredible intersectionality of its approach (i.e Black Panthers bringing food, Deaf people signing to those outside when the govt cut off the phones)

Yes

I just want to personally thank Pete Hegseth for proving my theory that when your entire personality is “minorities are incompetent,” it’s usually because you’re more incompetent than anyone could have imagined.

Let’s say it together today! One…two…three! “No, this is exactly what you voted for!”

On this day in 1911,146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

I'd somehow never seen this clip of @tmbg.bsky.social performing "Birdhouse in Your Soul" on the Tonight Show, and it is SPECTACULAR. Apparently a metronome was set to the wrong beat, and it turns out to be the best thing that ever happened.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Elon Musk makes 8 million a day through government contracts, but wants to cut healthcare for poor people as "waste."

I walked by Michael Caine’s office from Dressed to Kill today

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

"your opinion is worthless, shut the fuck up" is exactly the correct response to all the racist transphobic whiners bitching about the existence of anyone who isn't a white male in video games

Beshear: When I vetoed the nastiest anti-LGBTQ+ bill during my election year, I explained why I did it. My faith teaches me that all children are children of God. I wanted those children, who were being hated on, to know their governor cares for them… my faith tells me that’s my job

100k protesting in Serbia. 50k in Hungary. Both pushing back against authoritarian leaders. Let’s harness that energy.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.

Harold Pinter on fascists: "Anyone who reads is a communist as far as you're concerned.... [In a fascist society] people who read or people who dare to bring a couple of sandwiches to their children... means that something's wrong, that he's questioning, he's giving too much..."

100% how I found HELLO MARY LOU PROM NIGHT 2 and STUDENT BODIES. Movies slotted in dead time slots that woke me up.

So, I don’t care about this particular man, but I do want to point out that immigration officials pulled this woman aside after a trip to Puerto Rico, which is…not a foreign destination, which means they’re pulling and detaining legal immigrants in the regular degular airport. Be safe.

me during the first Trump presidency / me during the second Trump presidency

the constitutional crisis is already here. you're living through it right now. shredding the rule of law and ruling by decree and treating america like it's occupied territory to loot.

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.
