Running low on hope, now resorting to spite.

Articles about substack’s nazi problem: www.anildash.com//2024/11/19/... www.thehandbasket.co/p/substack-a... thehypothesis.substack.com/p/heres-why-... www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... (Free link: archive.is/uyugO)

A not insignificant amount of the trauma I’ll carry from this administration will be due to the lying. It’s not spin, rhetoric, or even conspiracy theories. It’s bald-faced lying, across all issues.

Interesting thread about how artists with gear/equipment are treated differently (better) than artists without

UPDATE: $35/2586, thank you! Right now I could squeak by getting to clinical exams (which culminates in my graduation ceremony), OR go to my new state with assistance packing and transporting much more than my disabled body can carry across state lines. Currently can't afford both, so I need help.

I am open for submissions! Particularly interested in BIPOC horror! There are links for both agents and for authors without agents to submit in my bio! #horrorwriters #horrorauthor #pinkhorror #amquerying #amwriting

Such a tender, tactile poem by @mimulus.bsky.social in Alocasia, which is fast becoming a favorite magazine of mine.

An international human rights commission has found that U.S. border officials were responsible for the death of Anastasio Hernández Rojas — and that they tortured him before he died. 📝: @bgirledukate.bsky.social 📸: @photospice.bsky.social capitalandmain.com/internationa...

What's a line delivery you think about a lot?

It is time! Hopefully, everyone has had a chance to see Sinners. If not you might want to mute me and comeback to this thread later because I’m about to talk spoilers. Grab a snack and get comfortable. Let’s do a deep dive into Ryan Coogler Sinners #FGJSinners

It bums me out to see people STILL starting their newsletters on Substack. I can kind of understand if you've invested a lot in building up your platform there, but to join NOW? When its competitors are competitive & its Nazi problem is well known? No, I'm not clicking or sharing your Substack link

It is amazing to me that with so many advancements in surveillance, science, and technology, the federal government is still so heavily reliant on this utter piece of garbage junk

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

NEW STORY DAY!!! I’ve got a tiny haunted teacher story up over at Bridge Eight Press! It’s kind of sad, like most of my ghost stories. I hope you enjoy it! www.bridgeeight.com/what-it-mean...

At Filmmaker, such an inspiring interview of Ryan Coogler and his "Sinners" producers, Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian by @mehtacritic.bsky.social. Don't know that we've ever had an interview where the director-producer relationship is so foregrounded and present. filmmakermagazine.com/130482-inter...

Ryan Coogler’s ‘SINNERS’ is now on track to become one of the top ten highest grossing R-rated films of all time at the domestic box office.

Y’all, if you go see SINNERS, you HAVE to stay through the credits! All of ‘em!

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. I have thought about you every day since I heard your story but today decided to post your picture every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

I know I've asked a lot, but I am working towards improving things. in this instance, though, I really, *really* need your help.

So many amazing items here!!! Bid bid bid!!! Tell a friend!!! Including some crafts by me! www.32auctions.com/organization... www.32auctions.com/organization...

Because 4 yr olds shouldn’t be representing themselves in court

All of the kidnapped and trafficked hostages need to be returned. Every one of them.

probably one of the highest honors i've ever received are actual biologists enjoying these hyenas i made in june 2023. i recall so many sales to emails ending in .edu and feeling incredibly validated - especially since simultaneously being berated by terfs in dms and emails. this convo made my day.

The time has come.

It never fails. I lift my coffee mug to my lips, I find it empty, and I frown into the dregs.

Hi, Tourette Syndrome haver here. Tourettes was first scientifically detailed in 1885 and definitely existed before that you reprehensible piece of horseshit. Also, it's genetic! My dad and his brother had tics way back in the 1950s so shut the fuck up about what you don't understand.

Hi! Some news––our book on the Stop Cop City movement is coming out in ONE MONTH!! It features organizers, political prisoners, abolitionists, anarchists, neighbors, educators, students, media, art & more. It’d mean the world to me if you share/pre-order! bookshop.org/p/books/no-c...
