For those who haven’t seen this MASTERPIECE in person yet, it is meant to be viewed from 3 angles: From below: map of CTA network From side: picture of bus From front: picture of train

My favorite Kurt Vonnegut quote--"you are what you pretend to be"--comes from Mother Night, a novel about an American spy who pretends to be a Nazi propagandist only to realize later in life he was just being a Nazi propagandist

Aaron Bushnell died by self-immolation in protest of the Gaza genocide a year ago today. His memory should stir a fire in our souls, and force us to evaluate our commitment to a better world. mondoweiss.net/2025/02/reme...

Been feeling angry and stupid, so I decided to do something angry and stupid, which was count every dead demon in DOOM. Then, less stupid, donate that amount to @raicestexas.bsky.social. Thanks for everyone who donated and helped raise over $15,000.

i got 112 tabs open in my head

I tell my cat “I know” when she meows at me but if I’m being honest? I don’t always know

I'm currently looking for freelance editing work! I have experience doing everything from copyediting to substantive edits, mainly for academic texts but also for literary ones. I've worked extensively with non-native English-speakers, including editing literary translations.

R.I.P. Roberta Flack and thank you for the music

Some AI is going to tell a college age nazi to fire almost every incident and natural disaster response team in the federal government because they didn’t have much to do during February 16-23, 2025.

Had a productive and emotional therapy session about my sense of failure for still having never really made something of my own and then got off the call and proceeded to make a list of menu items I would serve at a Talking Heads themed fast casual salad concept

fav & rt if you love all manner of sauces and condiments

Can we get 50 followers to donate $21 to Sameer Project’a campaign to get diapers to babies in the South today? Pls link your receipt below! chuffed.org/project/1132...

Joann had a sprawling retail footprint and was a victim of the slow US decline toward cheaper, more disposable clothing, but they also suffered a blow during Trump's first term. Trump's 2018 tariffs increased cost of imports and US equivalents were too expensive for customers.

I think it’s easy to think that Palestinians once they get to Egypt are fine- but really they usually spent their life savings and are now in a country where they have no ability to work. Safaa spent her career helping others and I think deserves a little help back ❤️

There are several big ways that AO3 is not just an archive and has inbuilt social functions that expand its supposed "primary" function. Being able to leave/reply to comments, create public bookmarks w/comments & tags, and participate in exchanges are fundamentally SOCIAL, COMMUNITY functions!

Me and my wife are trying to raise some money to do a little dysphoria alleviation, please boost and throw us some pocket change if you can afford to!

I found it, the perfect movie review.

My name is Alin, I am 7 years old, a child from Gaza. The war has taken my home, my school, and even my toys. We are struggling to survive, and I can’t even go to school like other kids. please donate on chuffed.org/project/122161… Your support means the world to us.

"I live on the streets without a proper home we survive in a tent facing storms, cold, and hunger. Your support can be the light that guides us towards a better and more stable life."😭😭😭😭 chuffed.org/project/1221...

i often think about how eons before cookie monster was conceived, or indeed before there were minds capable of conceiving, cookie monster was already there, waiting

"There were over 10k-20k [Black people] that lived in London during the time of Jane Austen. The number has been estimated to be as high as 30k across England, Scotland, & Ireland. With less than 28 dukes during that time period, who were you more likely to run into, a duke, or a person of color?"

I once wrote an episode of Adam Ruins Everything where he said that IQ is a bad measure of actual mental ability. It got some of the most wild, furious responses online. There are people who base their entire world view on a relatively meaningless number

Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim says Israel postponing the release of 620 Palestinian prisoners exposes “the entire agreement to grave danger” and has called on US mediators to pressure Israel “to implement the agreement.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/m3v9y3

i dont wanna do my HOMEWORK

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

if media outlets want to keep euphemistically dancing around fascist things fascists are doing might I suggest a return to cockney rhyming slang. steve bannon engaged in a bit of support for the "dazzle and danceys" by holding up his arm in an "uncles flute" resembling that of "old andy stickler"

May I present some ways that we might ask for our users' sex/gender on our forms in order to comply with new EOs: codepen.io/buttermilkbi...

I’m obsessed with this 1964 interview with a gay Mojave man named Elmer Gage. I will probably end up writing about it academically at some point but there is SO much going on in the description by Waltrip and his exchanges with Gage. I think you can read it online here www.jstor.org/stable/commu...

GOOD. This is how we do it. Go to those town halls and tell 'em what you expect 'em to do!
