Seeing a lot of false postings out there.

Despite the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's recent closure, PBS and NPR are still VERY MUCH ALIVE and active. They're just more dependent than ever upon the generosity of Viewers Like You!

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.
Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

If you are fortunate enough to have a little extra, please consider helping my friend.

Haya has gone to great lengths to care for her beloved cat Samih. Besides covering basic needs, she really wants to be able to afford a tutor to help catch up with her education.

i dont know whats gonna happen but here. 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪
alright. lots of things happening right now. for those who don’t know me, hi, i’m spikermonster, and i’m a venezuelan artist. i’ve been sharing my art on the internet since i was a kid. i was born here in caracas and i’ve never moved out. the only time i’ve ever left the country was in 2001, when i was 9 and my dad took me to disney world. i’m saying all this because it’s important that people know that i’m someone who actually lives here and has always lived here, so i don’t get anyone in my mentions trying to dismiss anything i say because they think i live in another country or whatever. you might think i don’t owe anyone this much of an explanation, but i feel like i do, because i’ve seen the way americans snarkily dismiss anything venezuelans say about the issue if it’s something they can’t wrap their heads around. they don’t even try to look at it from our perspective. suddenly every venezuelan who speaks up online is secretly a CIA shill. with all due respect you guys are fucking insane. all you’re doing is silencing venezuelan voices and you don’t even realize it. do i blame you for thinking that way? no, i don’t! because the CIA is terrifying and the US sucks, trump sucks, we all know this. but you care WAY more about hating your own country (as valid as your reasons may be) than you do about actually listening to people from other countries. so thanks for making me do all this extra work just to speak about my country. last night the US military launched airstrikes in venezuela and there were also troops on the ground. i heard the planes and explosions. i’m not able to see the city from my apartment but i could hear everything, the sounds were unmistakable and unlike anything i’d heard before. i was scared shitless. however this is something we’ve been all mentally preparing ourselves for, since as some of you might know, the US had been besieging venezuela for several months via the caribbean sea. still, you might think you’re ready for a moment like this but trust me, you’re truly not, and you realize that real quick once it actually happens. please know that my family and i are safe. the places that were targeted were specifically military bases and points of interest like that, it wasn’t a random bombing against civilians with lots of casualties or anything. at the time of me writing this post, there’s only one confirmed civilian casualty, and according to some sources it might be around 40, the large majority of which were military. i have not been able to confirm this though. i’m not saying this to downplay the importance of the situation, i just want to get some facts straight because there’s a lot of fearmongering and sensationalism revolving around the issue. that being said, it was still the single most terrifying thing i’ve lived through. this should’ve never happened. we should’ve never reached a point where a foreign military intervention was needed. yes, needed. because we never would’ve been able to get rid of maduro ourselves, trust me, we’ve been trying for several years. maduro needed to be taken care of. if you don’t know why, i encourage you to do your own research on the venezuelan crisis and how we ended up in a dictatorship (maybe pick up a few pointers so you can recognize that trump himself is becoming a dictator pretty quick, but i think you might’ve noticed already.) now, i’m hearing that this move from the US was apparently not exactly legal but i’m gonna be honest with you: we don’t care. “but they’re just after your oil” we don’t care. we’re just glad maduro is finally out. whatever happens with him now is up to the US. or the UN if it ever decides to stop being useless and step in. i really have no energy in me to think of what this means for the US, all i can think about right now is what’s going to happen with my own country. btw if you’re an american and posted this meme reacting to current events: [image of squidward wearing a huge button that says "i really wish i weren't living through a major historical event right now!"] i’m gonna need you to get a grip and sit down because this isn’t about you. this and overdramatic angry apologies on behalf of your government are displays that don't show any solidarity towards venezuelans, because you’re literally just making it all about you. you you you, it's always all about the USA. reel it in and listen to venezuelans for once, my god. get some perspective. why is it always americans trying to make every world issue an american issue. no, the venezuelan military isn’t gonna retaliate against your country because they’re pathetically underequipped. you guys are gonna be fine (in a way, i guess, the US has a lot of other issues to worry about)

ANOTHER THING: if you really wanna help venezuelans who are inside the country, specially in Caracas, DONATE DIRECTLY TO THEM
Many will need food and clean water while they stay at home cause of this situation. Even if, as family told me, its calm, they need monetary support in this.
HELP THEM

Calling is better if you can swing it, but if you're phone shy here's a slightly augmented script I made for faxing/emailing/etc (feel free to steal in alt text).

Find Your Senators: www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Find Your Representatives: www.house.gov/representati...
As one of your constituents, I’m calling on you to demand you condemn the U.S.’s actions in Venezuela tonight. The Trump administration has carried out an illegal attack and capture of Maduro that is a clear violation of international sovereignty and will impact relationships will alienate international allies, and you must speak out about this. I am also calling on you to:

1. Speak plainly about this to your constituents. You can acknowledge the Maduro regime’s abuses AND recognize this as an unlawful extraterritorial detention, 2. Demand a legal written justification from the Administration, 

3. Hold IMMEDIATE House/Senate Foreign Affairs hearings on the the decision-making, legality, and diplomatic risks of the Maduro operation, 4. Demand an immediate classified briefing for the Gang of Eight. 

What happened tonight will have ramifications across the world in the days, weeks and months to come, and we need answers and action taken.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

One of the most underrated design skills in games is graphic design for things like decals and fake branding for posters/stickers/flyers/books/props/signs/displays.

We take this stuff for granted and yet they are very much a world building detail that adds so much more life to environments.

so like, i’m aware that it’s not a done deal that all dems vote no on this bill

flooding folks’ offices with calls tomorrow is probably a good idea if you care about the trans folks in your life
aclu.org ACLU @aclu.org · Dec 16
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.
