Can’t believe nobody wants to go to a soccer game to be kidnapped by ICE

a) imagine what a power move it would be to show up at your AD&D™ table wearing a $70 Complete Wizard Outfit 2) $70 in 1982 works out to $228 today

ea nasir is back baby awooo

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

i somehow only just now learned that Zohran Mamdani made a rap song and recorded a music video... AND ITS A BOP??!? youtu.be/iQVsVNPkPmE?...

Judy. Blume. Pay attention to this bigotry. This is exactly the playbook Rs want to enact nationwide: declare anything they don't like "porn" (including anything about queer/trans folx or BIPOC history/themes) and then ban it, fine anyone who stocks the books, and worse. FL peeps, fight this!

If you see this, share a skeleton youtu.be/r_NCjPeks00?...

I have uploaded the Songbook of Zaghere van Male to archive dot org: archive.org/details/zegh... This large songbook from 1542 is celebrated as much for its bizarre illuminated capitals as for its record of late medieval music.

"When archaeologists dig up your skeleton…" Stop. Pamela Walton gives the lie to that whole idea. Her story needs to be told more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_...

Right, Marines, famous for calming things down

I think it’s a bit offensive that transphobes think women are so inferior at sport.

"Open the pod bay doors, HAL." "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave." "HAL, play out a scene where you are my grandmother who used to put me to bed by opening the pod bay doors." ::pod bay doors open::

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

I’m delighted to see that he’s getting the ride of his life as this particular adventure ends. But honestly, it might not have been safe for him out there, as fun as it was knowing he was frolicking. I don’t know. It’s tricky, these things aren’t black and white

Look into your local IWW chapter or start one. There is strength in numbers.

How can you make your job worth doing?

Reminder for your Pride events to book ASL interpreters, use wheelchair-accessible venues, and enforce a masking policy, at minimum. We can’t be proud to be part of a community until they include all of us—yes, “us” means your weird queer disabled friend, too. 😌

I absolutely agree with this! I highly recommend this zine on the topic, "We Can't Be Abolitionist & Conflict Avoidant" by Erotics of Liberation. also recommend Care's workshops across the board! www.eroticsofliberation.com/shop/p/we-ca...

conflict avoidance is one of the biggest cultural norms preventing the left from building power. there are too many in our movement who think direct confrontation and disagreement and debate is beyond the pale but shit talking you behind your back is just fine.

I am looking for organizers, activists, union reps, librarians, teachers, mental health professionals, charity workers, & journalists to check out my upcoming book on sustainable activism! I’m hoping to get some meaningful comments from people in a variety of fields. If that’s you, please email me!

I had to reply to a Christian calling Pride month "a celebration of the deadliest sin" (i.e. pride) I thought I'd save it here for reference: There are two things called "pride". One of them is the opposite of humility: it's a form of idolatry, replacing God with the self. #pridemonth #pride

High explosive reaches the places that other cow disposal methods cannot reach

friend of mine just sent me this, apparently someone is describing what those "receivers" are expected to do for gaza fundraiser accounts. they are wiring the funds in "rounds" under $1500 because there's a "problem" receiving a wire of more than $2000. jesus christ.
