THIS. I keep seeing artists in promo mode go "I guess I gotta do a capitalism." No. Capitalism is not the same as currency, it is a specific socioeconomic system that is harmful to all life on this planet. Currency is representative of value for the exchange of goods and services.

I gave a talk about historic fiber dyes on convention two weeks ago and it was packed with people who were interested and asked questions, I used up my time to the last second and it felt really great to not only share something I'm passionate about with people but to do it so well.

I need to apologize to the Captain Planet writers for not acknowledging their restrained and nuanced portrayal of rich corporate villains.

I knit this child's sweater with the statistic "only 4% of all mammals on Earth are wild". All those cute animals on children's clothing misrepresent the biodiversity of wildlife left on their planet. It's not cute. 🧶

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

This is why "how many genders are there, huh?" is such a dumb question. It's like asking exactly how many colors exist. Even blue is a fuzzy category, why would you expect human beings to be simpler than photons?

This cannot be overstated like people used to be legitimately afraid of getting their asses kicked for wearing the wrong kind of shoelaces

I was reminded that I once painted a copy of Enterprise's painting frm Picard's ready room. I'm no longer friends with person who commissioned it, but it's a nice work. I took some liberties with details, as good references were scarce ;) #StarTrekfanart

You are lying. No, you are lying. You see Theophrastus von Hohenheim, René Descartes, Tycho Brahe, Nicolaus Copernicus, Claudius Ptolemy and Aristotle discussing whose colour is the best. They all conclude: 'You are lying' (in #earlymodern German: "Du leugst"). #academicchatter

Queer Palestinian singer Bashar Murad for Vogue Japan. He wears an "Intifada Obi", which includes embroideries made by Gazan refugee women, supported by a collective that preserve Palestinian embroidery in kimono designs. My favorite songs from him are "Mashkara" and "Antenne". 📷: Hiroshi Asakura

Let’s make sure no one misses it, everyone should know that Trump and Vance are parroting Russian colonialist propaganda. They’re absolute scum.

today while getting groceries, I passed by a group of teenage boys lively discussing how to properly do laundry. there's hope for us yet.

“I’d take entrail divination over generative AI” 🔥🔥🔥

I cannot stress this enough: if you are an American who is at this juncture frothing at the mouth that your journalists dare bring up the effects of your country's betrayals of its allies because it should all be me me me me me me me me then congratulations you are part of the problem

Editorial note: fascism is not insanity, and the language of mental illness should not be used to describe the hearts and minds of evil men.

I am once again asking people who follow earth-centred spiritualities to stop using the ethical and environmental nightmare that is generative AI, to credit artists, and use alt-text to include our peers who use screen-readers. #HeathenSky #PaganSky #LiveYourValues
