I mostly use Facebook for silly stuff these days, but occasionally it is still politically relevant.

I would have called you Webby the Wonder Dog, but I might have read too many comics

One of these things is not like the others

You will never in a billion years convince me that the GOP gives a single shit about antisemitism beyond being a useful cudgel.

Dumb and unstrategic compared to Lex Luthor, maybe, but so is almost everyone. They know what they're doing, even if they don't understand the full implications of what it will mean.

Wait, I'm sitting down but... Does this mean that a few libertarians actually understand how economics work? Crazy.

People don't like colleges who capitulate to fascism, who knew?

It's too bad that historians stopped saying things like "those who forget / don't study history are doomed to repeat it". The corollary, of course is that those who attempt to erase history *intend* to repeat it. May they experience all the blessings that Psalm 109 has to offer. (We should help.)

I wish this were a full condemnation of the fascists who are currently in the White House, but at least it's more courage than many universities are showing right now.

Sigh. I was 20 in 2002, but otherwise this tracks.

If Neuralink really works, I dare Elon to try uploading his consciousness into a machine. Preferably right now.

I'm running my first game jam, predictably called the Narrative Alchemy Jam. It's primarily for TTRPGs and larps, but any transformative game is welcome. There are award categories for recreational, serious, educational, therapeutic, and spiritual / religious games. #ttrpg #larp #gamejam #witchsky

This is my old cat Nemo, who is sadly no longer with me. He's sleeping on top of the books "Ancient Jewish Magic" and "The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment". Which is a surprisingly good cross-section of my bookshelf, lol #witvhsky #jewsky

When the dictator tells you who he is, believe him.

"There’s no messiah who will sweep in and make everything better. That’s up to you and me." Fighting Back: A Citizen’s Guide to Resistance | Ordinary people have more power than they know. Read it + share it with a friend:

Read this again: they are taking K-12 policies and applying them to officer training colleges. They are treating military leaders like children.

hear hear

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

The ADL doubling down on being useless collaborator 🗑️ here

We are so much further along in surveillance capitalism than most people seem to realize.

Do you want Black Mirror world? Because this is literally how you get it.

Note that the FBI hardly ever investigates the domestic terrorist groups tracked by nonprofits like the Southern Poverty Law Center. But writing mean things on rich people's cars? That's really worthy of attention.

It is interesting to see a new Democratic coalition forming in realtime

Hey there are you lovely Assigned Media readers: Are you trans, and a lawyer, and willing to consider writing for Assigned Media on courts and legal questions? Get in touch! [email protected] We'd like to do more legal coverage, but we need someone with the right chops to do it.

Rarely do I find a random meme that expresses what's in my soul as well as this one does.

Inara missed me while I was away. I missed you too, sweetums 😻

If you have the means to short-sell or buy put options on Tesla stock, there's never been a better time than now.

Knutepunkt had a superhero theme this year. Pretty happy with my first attempt at Wonder Woman. Not long after taking this picture, I ran my Star Trek Shitposting fantasy kink larp "Subspace: the Final *Final* Frontier". I played Q, shapeshifted into the form of Lynda Carter. Much hilarity ensued.

It's not about DEI. It's about plausible deniability for racist and heterosexist Newspeak.

On my way to Knutepunkt today... Some surprises: 1. Customs searched one of my bags after scanning it. They were looking for decks of cards. 2. There are an unreasonable number of handsome Indian otters and bears working at Heathrow Airport. Not that I'm complaining. Woof.

In late November, at Changing Times Changing Worlds, I'll be teaching two 90-minute classes for the first time: Narrative Alchemy & Sacred Play Liminality & Trickster Wisdom: Walking a Shadow Path The conference theme this year is "Dancing Within Light and Shadow", which inspired #2. #witchsky

My astrological sign is I-don't-cAries. (This witchy dad joke is only really funny if you're an Aries, which I'm not. So feel free to steal it.) #witchsky

Even in our darkest hour, there is always magnetic poetry.
