Where are the articles *by* LA protesters? Not by opinion columnists tsk tsking them, not by journalists covering them, but BY the people directly affected? These must exist but I haven't seen any posted here.

This is Whiskey. She knows people pay good money for mud baths. Found this one for free! 13/10 very resourceful my friend (TT: ivycaponi)

Goals for today: -Finish current book 💪 -Start new book?? 👀 -Breathe air 😫😩

there should be a consumer electronics review site called does it beep dot com and the sole criteria it uses to judge kitchen appliances, cars, washing machines, etc is whether it beeps at you and if so how annoying the beeps are

Kind reminder to editors and people in charge that a tiny little compliment on someone's job does A LOT for their mental health and productivity. It doesn't take time, it doesn't take much space and, most importantly, it's free! Leave a nice compliment to your local letterer/translator/proofreader.

two years ago today I encountered this all-timer of marquee placement at the movie theater:

Natural lighting always better White peony and Sarah Bernhardt peony #Bloomscrolling #Flowerspam

we need to increase immigration. we have not replaced enough white people yet

Jameela Jamil spitting facts

As a society we’ve created an environment where men don’t perceive their desires as having the natural limitation of “not infringing on the safety and security of others.”

I did finally get my first Russian bingo yesterday btw x'D

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

i am once again smacking this sign as hard as i can

It's a variation on the "if you want to be good at writing superhero comics, don't just read superhero comics" truism. To work with language successfully you have to read widely and build those basics, no matter what your specialty.

The law must always be grounded in fundamental principles such as equal rights and due process, or it becomes a tool of oppression.

Crowd dispersal can be extremely deadly. Cops using sudden and violent means to move people can cause panic and stampedes which can be lethal. Please be safe out there. WATCH YOUR FEET and try to move with caution when you can.

Slavery. It's about slavery.

A terrifying escalation:

I truly love having cute options for managing my disabilities and chronic pain We deserve to have colorful and fun accessibility accessories!!

a good thread. also if you're someone like me who feels a sense of grief for growing up isolated, without any queer elders to look up to: it's a surprisingly healing experience to fill that role yourself, even if you wish you'd had someone fill that role for you.

I do not give a shit about cars, stores, or stuff. I give a shit about human lives. If you have only voiced your issues about property damage but NOTHING about societal and community damage, then you need to check your priorities. Families are being torn apart, tortured, & terrorized.

"Violence is never the solution"

A robin made a nest in one of my plant pots right outside my studio. The baby birds are hatching today.

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Historically, protests are always unpopular, but always push things forward. Don't let the media obstruct the big picture.

If you consider yourself an American, democrat, or liberal, you should be obligated to read this book. #booksky #politics

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

newgrounds to their credit has banned all genAI stuff, and they have a good article up on how to hear (or otherwise detect) genAI music, worth reading!: www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... very fond of this extremely succinct and dry but lethal description of genAI music 🔥

🚨I’m here with @RepLuzRivas, @RepNormaTorres & @RepLouCorrea at the Roybal Federal Building exercising our Congressional authority to investigate ICE’s inhumane detention of immigrant families—including moms & kids held after routine check-ins. No beds. No food. No water. We are demanding answers.

That's so cool!!!!!!!

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

Did you buy something? REVIEW IT. Everyone loves giving their opinions on stuff. And reviews are the exact dedicated place to do just that. Do you read reviews before you buy something? THAT COULD BE YOU for someone else! It doesn't have to be long/detailed, short/sweet works fine. It all helps :)

For all those saying these protests accomplish nothing

Remember these weapons aren't "less than lethal", they are just "less lethal". They can still, and have, killed. Solidarity with LA 🇲🇽 🇵🇸

I don't care if people damage property, and you're really not going to make me care about those things. I care when people are damaging people a whole lot.
