Just a reminder, if you were an REI member who purchased more than $10 worth of items in 2024 or joined in 2024, you can vote until midnight May 1st to reject the proposed slate of anti-labor Trump supporters for the REI board vote.escvote.com/REI/

canary mission, discover the network, campus reform, professor watchlist, they are all designed specifically to facilitate harassment and threats against anyone they consider too lefty. it has caused firings and frightened people into changing their research interests to keep their families safe

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

NO ONE should be sent to El Salvador, you baby-brained losers. My God.

In the thin, still air above a ring of mushrooms there floats a green, oozing film, through which pixelated rocks waver. You hear birdsong.

maybe for fun and relaxation i will work on my list of flavors/ingredients... which is pretty different from my list of foods for foodimals actually also the most efficient way to do this will be to sort it by color

core values & nostalgia ✨ #pixelart #mspaint

inkscape is also useful for: ive just spent a few hours working on converting helpful info images into being 4x6in thermal printer compatible

although part of the context is i have a web developer friend who i saw playing with this sort of thing over a decade ago, so ever since i've been like, 'that's a thing people can do? i could do that. i want to do that sometime.'

if i didn't already have full nerd credentials i could definitely get them from 'i think it would be fun to learn to write SVG/vector paths with coordinates by guestimating where to place stuff on a cartesian plane'

ok, so! i simplified the code for this to hopefully make it easier to insert your own object into the color-object + background + alt text framework I made for the slime bot: nyoom.neocities.org/sandbox/obje... (this isn't actually proper js, it's meant to be copypasted into json view on bbdq)

@bluebotsdonequick.com i have been meaning to ask - is there an escape character for using the '{}' characters on bbdq? i scrapped using a global <style> section in my svg code because i couldn't get it to work, but i wanted to ask in case it's still a viable method in the future

Occasionally I get questions about “how exactly was the insurance company Nate worked for responsible for his son’s death on the original LEVERAGE?” and it’s nice to have a current news item to point them to. The shittiness continues unabated!

i bought new wide leg jeans that fit and today i don't hate the way i look in pants for the first time in months

Kinds feel like this every time someone mentions the idea of voting Trump or his enablers out

there are still heroes out there...

Lmao

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

It's one thing to know intellectually that the experience of the rise of authoritarianism is living your normal life until one day it's your door being kicked down it's another to see the president ask for more prison camps and see everyone doing the same discourses Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I'm so fucking gay lol holy shit Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This is horrifying! #EyesOnSudan www.bbc.com/news/article...

state troopers and police in general overwhelmingly support Trump and back these policies. the cops are not going to save you or anyone from the cops.

i wonder if anyone has made a pixel sprite to svg converter that's just like. number x number squares

i had the realization recently that nothing was stopping me from buying 3-packs of black cotton tshirts from the men's section. they're pretty soft and would probably be good for sleeping in if you can sleep with clothes on

Trump wants to disappear even more people into prison camps and he wants to do it in El Salvador where the options to stop him are almost non-existent Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

mia wong makes a compelling argument that all the other tariffs are going to still go into effect in 3 months
