These modern day billionaire oligarchs should try being more like the wealthy industry tycoons of the past (dead).

If anyone brings up the increase in autism diagnoses, here's a useful graph and article www.psu.edu/news/researc...

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

exhausting as liberal democracy is, I feel it is vital for us queer and trans people to fight for its survival because it is also the system of government that tends to be least interested in killing us by a very wide margin

incredible exchange, @marisakabas.bsky.social

Yep, it works!

Listen up.

"When Labor and Liberals reach an agreement they don’t want seen, it’s because they’ve colluded to do something that advances their interests at the expense of the voters. BUT these changes won’t apply to this year’s election. This will be our last chance to register our disapproval." #GetActive

Here's that lil' revision class I promised! 70 minutes of video, broken into 11 chunks, and 50 pages of supplemental material. I hope it's useful. maggiestiefvater.getlearnworlds.com/courses

New blog post: I finally got around to writing about Halt and Catch Fire, one of my favorite pieces of media ever. Let me tell you why, and why it is the most human show you can watch.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Poster from a gay hacker space kinda place and yeah, this, next few years gonna be a whole lotta: This

Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.

Hey, FYI: if you post a screenshot with text, you can usually click the little icon at bottom right (see photo) to highlight all the text. Then you can click "Copy All" and paste it in as alt-text. Takes just a few seconds and makes tour images accessible to more people. Inclusion = good.

if I just refresh the timeline enough maybe someone will do something to stop all of this

If you're in Australia, you don't have to look any further than the last QLD election

Sometimes resistance is simply continuing to do the work that you were already doing which aligns with your values.

Every time Russia has started on its bullshit, the world has sanctioned their oligarchs by name. Personally. Seems like a good idea for this situation, too.

sources tell me you should handcuff yourself to the entrance of the treasury building so the media covers the government takeover from your pov instead of elon musk's

What in the MSPaint is that?

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

do not see this discussed enough as a major factor in this moment of collective insanity

That’s weird. There’s no Alf OR anyone with big naturals.

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

This comments section is the first time I've felt even a shred of hope in eight days.

Once again I am seeing people pick a random day for a general strike and posting that date on Bluesky like a prayer to an absent god. Once again I am begging you, that is not how this works. A general strike is a fantastic idea. You can’t start with bluesky. You have to start with unions.

in my opinion the whole bloody continent is haunted and that’s why everyone has IBS, these days. fuck Australia Day it puts ghosts up your bum

A new year in Queensland & the power bills are hitting households. Why's this one so expensive? The government rebate everyone became used to has run out. There's now no Annastacia Palaszczuk or Steven Miles to sort it out. What's the new premier & his ministers had to say? #qldpol

Quite a response to Trump from president of Colombia Gustavo Petro.

Hey, here's a woodcut of a cat stealing a penis from I guess 1555 that I found in a folder on my laptop while looking for my original Hard Grey's Night logo art that I think is now lost.

For those of you outside of Australia...this is Grace Tame...she was Australian of Year 2021 ... this is her at the Prime Minister's do...letting the world know what she thinks of Rupert Murdoch. Kudos Grace Tame...we love you! Women standing up...no wonder incels are scared of them!

DID YOU KNOW for 25 years Matthew Shepard had no permanent resting place due to concerns his grave would be vandalized Reverend Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to inter him inside the Washington National Cathedral. www.matthewshepard.org/matthew-shep... She was and is a real hero.

Queensland when?

This helps, actually

People once believed the world was made up of 4 elements: earth, fire, air, and water. Aristotle added a fifth element, the aether or ether, by which he meant the material that fills the rest of space, It was described as ‘quinta essential’ ("fifth element").
