Housing is absolutely dire, on one hand you got housing groups working with councils to make bank off mold infested properties cause social housing is nonexistent & on the other you got private landlords who won't rent to anyone who hasn't got a min of £30k in savings and a golden plated arse

honestly I get why anthropologists have been descending in hordes upon Torajans for generations, in that in my experience people from Tana Toraja are extremely nice and fun to be around

This is a full blown constitutional crisis. Excited to see the democrats do nothing about this.

Posting on a Saturday morning how well things are going for me and how much fun I'm having burning billions of dollars generating Ghibli-fied pictures of Garfield doing a Budd Dwyer situation

still reeling from the unforced error of it all. less than 1/16th of his way into the term, shattering the world economy like a snowglobe under a sledgehammer for no reason at all. the sheer spectacle of it is horrifying and, like all horrifying things, captuvating. I can't think about anything else

I find it creepy that Trump’s obsession with acquiring Greenland is, at least in part, predicated on global warming potentially opening up important shipping routes and natural resources. Canibalizing the earth shattering harms he refuses to name

Man, automatically turning off replies to non-followers has fully cut out all drive-by responses of all stripes, and it's been such a boon for my mental health.

One way to stop the Houthi shipping blockade, instead of bombing and killing dozens of Yemeni civilians, would be to end the genocide in Gaza, which is the stated reason the Houthis are disrupting trade in the Suez -- which is off of their shores, not ours, by the way.

You know I feel like a lot more people should learn about the Irish “Famine.” It wasn’t just a bad crop of potatoes. It’s really about the British and Landlords taking all the land for themselves and leaving the Irish with the least fertile land in their own country or none at all. Sound familiar?

Ignore the terrible choice of header image, this is a great read. We cannot both be a defining medium of the 21st century, and also 'just games so don't perceive us'. Games won't make anybody fascist or violent, but the communities grown inside and around games clearly can.

While I did abandon my twitter during our KS campaign, for the short period I did promote on both, bsky was outperforming twitter by a considerable margin, despite having only about 30k vs twitter's 170k.

I think artists earning $700 a commission (or more) is a great thing actually! Striving for success and financial comfort is nothing to be ashamed of! Don’t willingly stay in the bucket. Barely scraping by will not stop random bozos from randomly hating on us!

I’m 5’3 and is considered average/above average in SEAsian standard. So seeing western literature describe the main girl who’s 5’2-5’3 as “tiny, petite, innocent” basically infantilizing her, it icks me tf out lol. 5’3 is not tiny at all, I assure you.

if you’re like me and have had your mind, heart and soul torn to shreds by footage from Gaza in the past 14 months here’s a Parenti clip that I hope might help. “Pessimism of the mind, optimism of the will.”

RFK Jr is not a trustworthy source about vaccine efficacy or zoonosis, particularly for H5N1 in chickens. His claim that poultry vaccination will "turn those birds into mutant factories" is incorrect & I've got receipts 👇 Article by @alexander-a-tin.bsky.social www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

i like being an artist because i have a lot of stupid ideas. then i can turn them into reality and inflict them on everyone else

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.
