While we're on the subject — "amateur," doesn't mean "bad/low-skilled." All it means is that you don't do it for money. So today, some of y'all learned that, if you get reimbursed for your work at all, in any form— you're a professional artist. Yes, that includes trading art for social support

i mean the oscar broadcast was enjoyable but it feels like a cultural victory for fascism that hollywood is too scared for even vague platitudes about resisting.

I've heard this my whole life, and it's part and parcel to the "just vote for the lesser evil, bro" narrative. Sure, it may work in the short term. But in the long term — it gets us right where we are.

Think too about how advertising works. It's a flood strategy. Everywhere, all the time. You have to be your own biggest advocate — and shameless self-promotion is very much a part of that. It doesn't have to be fake — take pride in your work and share what you make. Just do it a lot.

Shutting down PubMed would have enormous consequences globally on medical sciences. On my Nordic/UK ISPs it half resolves, but result is unusable. Let’s hope it is just a temporary error and not the junta in action.

This. Boycotts are like strikes: they're sieges, when they effect any sort of change. Successful ones last, at least, hundreds of consecutive days. Worth noting the organizer John Schwarz was a reg. sex offender and the sole member of People's Union USA that organized the boycott. 1/
