Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

Thing with all the soft language of dignity and respect and compromise being used to describe loss of human rights, persecution, and segregation, is that it immediately frames any opposition to it as unreasonable and aggressive

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.
The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

While our government must have diplomacy with Trump, we should never roll out the red carpet for him.
Trump is a far-right leader who propagates hate, undermines democracy and makes the world a more dangerous place for us all.
This unnecessary state visit is just normalising his politics.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness.
Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

Racist, homophobic, misogynistic, transphobic views aren't 'controversial'. I thought we had got to a stage where we agreed these things were backwards and vile. The sooner we start calling bigots by their name the better

News outlets like @wsj.com have a critical responsibility to report the truth.
Promoting false information that ties our LGBTQ+ community to the Utah shooting is reckless, irresponsible, and puts trans people especially in danger.
Anyone with a platform must do better. Lives are on the line.

It’s neither necessary nor appropriate to pretend Charlie Kirk was something other than what he was, or that he didn’t say or do the things he said and did, in order to condemn his being murdered in cold blood.
Nor is acknowledging what he was and what he did tantamount to saying he deserved it.

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me.
His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.
