This is how young trans girls explored their identities before our modern concept of gender. Read more: www.teenvogue.com/story/before...

AI is an affront to humanity and the art that defines humanity's consciousness. Capitalism loves AI because it strips away this vital humanity and enables uncreative executives to attempt to sell a product without the artist being allowed in the process. #SupportRealArtists #MusicIndustry

Sometimes popular funny people post something I think is so funny that I like AND repost it. And then they repost themselves later to maintain engagement and I'm like 'They reposted my repost!' This is the true parasocial experience.

AI is absolutely useless

I've been boosting Saeed a few times now because of how hard he worked to validate his existence on Bluesky and, despite it all, never giving up, and it CRUSHES ME to see how skinny he has gotten. Please help if you can.

If Hezbollah or the Houthis captured a ship in international waters and arrested its crew, im pretty sure the press and politicians would be calling that kidnapping or hostage taking

Even fossil fuel advocates are abadoning carbon capture www.desmog.com/2025/06/05/c...

I've been scheming for the past few days to post something positive, but the universe keeps slapping me down. Anyways, the local sports team is doing pretty well and people are happy about it, so that's nice.

As somebody who was raised in a Christian household, and left the Church, but still holds pretty tight to the actual stuff Jesus was preaching, my blood boils when I see what these ghouls try to pick and choose his teachings to justify their own cruelty.

"katie bikes aren't cool" exhibit A:

LA has one of the strongest and most robust mutual aid networks anywhere. mutualaidla.org

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're calling somewhere to file a complaint about an organization, it's generally a bad idea to open up by cussing at the person on the other end of the phone and boasting about how important your complaint is instead of telling them the actual complaint.

Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.

This is so important. The big giant organized marches? Those are not non-violent protest. Those are parades. And they're fine. True nonviolent protest is setting yourself up to likely receive state violence without reacting back. I love it as a tactic. But it takes serious planning.

California SB 98, passed in 2021, specifically allows journalists to remain in areas closed by law enforcement during public events. The law officers from assaulting, interfering with, or obstructing journalists. Nor can journalists be cited for failure to disperse. @knightcolumbia.org

Against my better judgement, I stsrted playing Pokemon go again for the first time in 5 years. (making routes is fun tho)

In case it wasn't already abundantly clear: Pest Control says fuck ICE. Get the fuck out of our communities and stay away you fucking nazis. We hope that one day you are all held to account for the damage and trauma you have inflicted by "following orders"

Here are the skills and guides you need for the moment. Feel free to share other resources in the comments. Give 'em hell and stay safe! #Resist #Protest #Antifascism
