If you don’t add Alt Text to your images and I want to repost your post because it’s that good, imma just steal it and post it myself, probably with no credit and definitely with no shame. YOINK!

If you let them, the horrors will devour you whole. Making space to live and smile is an act of resistance. So is helping others to do the same. If you’re an artist in this time, remember that what you’re doing is part of the emotional support infrastructure. They want you silent. 1/2

This is as true for the absurdist or the writer of cozies as it is for someone penning demi-documentary grimdark stories about an imaginary apocalypse or someone whose gig is cute cat videos. The job is to help people breathe, and it matters even on the days it feels like you’re covered in lead. 2/2

We know from domestic violence statistics that men will not hesitate to murder women when they are filled with their own existential panic of abandonment. We are in the collapsing failure of patriarchy and we are facing profound risk. Men. Women will lead us out of this. We need your help.

The Morning Show is good, I’m riveted thru most of it. But I knew I’d be hugely let down when a big deal was made about Covid and a main character, only to predictably move on as if Covid never happened 2 episodes later. To then hear a character say “God I miss Covid” next season as if it’s over? 👎👎

One of the saddest parts about being alive in the ongoing C-19 world, as someone who has stayed up-to-date on the research and lived by it, is that you find out that most everyone you ever knew is happy to move on building a life without you in it, by painting you out as “crazy”.

OMG THIS. All the people who over the years of knowing them said how much they “value you”, they “cherish our connection”, that you’re their “ride or die”, not only vanished, they made you feel like or actually said, “you need a therapist” before they 👻. They had to label you to assuage their guilt.

10th January 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of David Bowie’s death.
It’s often framed as an ending, but of course his influence didn’t pause.
What changed was perspective - the work became newly legible. 🧵1/7

Same! Please add alt text to your amazing images of your art so I can share them. I’m not the only one who doesn’t share pics that don’t include alt text. There’s a handy toggle in accessibility tab to turn on so you never forget. Here’s a handy guide on how to add it:

Carl Ray's artistic career was brief but highly influential.
One of the most important painters of his era, he had a huge influence on the Canadian art world, especially among Indigenous artists.
This is his story.

In 1967, he worked with Morrisseau on a mural for the Indians of Canada Pavilion at Expo 67.
His paintings often depicted the relations and interactions between humans, animals and legendary creatures.
Often he painted in only brown, blue and black.

X ceased being a public square years ago, and over the last month, it’s degraded even further.
A platform that enables the creation non-consensual sexualised images of women and children cannot be treated as neutral ground - and governments choosing to stay are endorsing it.
Enough is enough.

Staying on X is an Endorsement - and It's Unforgivable
The UK government cannot claim to protect women and children while continuing to post on a platform that enables their abuse.
