An awesome 🧵, especially w/ current fuckery.

Also recommending 4 cookbooks:
* YOU GOTTA EAT by Margaret Eby
* THE SAD BASTARD COOKBOOK by Zilla Novikov and Rachel A Rosen
* THE POORCRAFT COOKBOOK by Iron Circus Comics
* GOOD AND CHEAP by Leanne Brown

Nab from library or get online PDFs if you can.

Don't donate to NPR.

This is the kind of coverage they keep providing. Support PBS if you like, but NPR slit its own throat, cried about how much it hurt and now they're trying to apologize to the knife.

Reject public radio. Embrace community radio.

Reminder to those ordering wings for the SB - Buffalo Wild Wings is a big Trump donor:

bigbeautifulboycott.us/company/buff...
PARENT COMPANY: ROARK CAPITAL GROUP According to Federal Election Commission filings compiled by OpenSecrets.org, Roark Capital Group’s donations during the 2024 election cycle included: $1,500,000 to Sentinel Action Fund $414,376 to the Republican National Committee $398,257 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee $32,948 to the National Republican Congressional Committee $21,193 directly to the Trump Campaign (Donald Trump, Candidate R-PRES) In addition, on April 14, 2020, Inspire Brands was listed among the corporations that joined then-President Trump’s “Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups,” a White House initiative advising on economic reopening during the COVID-19 pandemic. These connections — including millions of dollars in donations to pro-Trump and Republican committees and participation in a Trump administration policy council — illustrate a clear alignment between Inspire Brands and the Trump political network.

This will be me. I will be this lady. And I will live forever on my spite.

I will be 100 years old, spitting in the streets and swearing a blue streak when I encounter anyone who collaborated at any level with this regime.

May they never have a moment of peace in their lives.

When I lived in France we had a sweet old neighbor lady who would spit every time she passed a certain house. Eventually, her daughter explained to me that the home belonged to a man who’d collaborated with the Nazis 60 YEARS AGO. May these ICE goons face a similarly lonely future.

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, Somali families in Minnesota are being targeted, detained, harassed, and injured under the Trump administration.

That's Black families being subjected to violence for being Black.

Black history isn’t just something we remember, it’s being written right now.

I recommend blocking any "A.i." bot you see on Bluesky. Even if it's a non-commercial art project or whatever, I don't see any reason to feed it data by accidentally interacting with it.

QRP with your women art!

women are my favorite guy and well i do think it shows
A nighttime color illustration of Narney's OC Lellio, a living doll. She has pale skin, big ol ears, ball-jointed fingers and hands, and long white hair bound loosely in gold clasps. She is dressed elegantly and standing with her hands clasped and eyes closed as though making a wish; the background is a circular graphic of the night sky filled with shooting stars, with one especially bright star centered over her head. A color illustration of buntglas's OC Misam, a cosmic bunny lady. She has warm brown skin with light freckles and pale purple palms, a gold third eye tattoo, long flowing hair in a loose braid going from dark purple to lavender to gold and ending in a shooting star, and bunny ears. She is wearing a dark purple top and skirt, both with gold trim, and a transparent sari with intricate star-patterned trim; she has LOTS of gold accessories, all evocative of stars and moons. The background is a gold and purple art nouveau-style circular graphic with a central eye motif surrounded by celestial symbols. A color illustration of a gorgon woman with light and darker green skin/scales, long dark green cobra hair separated by narrow horns, and a long tapered tail. She is dressed in a dark green bustier with gold trim and lots of accessories, and she is holding two crossed swords behind her head. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of thorns and ivy on a black to yellow gradient. A color illustration of my changing moon Lunar oc, Emerald, from an exalted game. She is a middle-aged woman with fair skin, emerald-green eyes with striking red eyeshadow, and long iridescent black hair partly held up by a golden comb with the rest pulled over one shoulder. She is dressed in an elegant green gown with puffy sleeves and a boob window, lots of gold and green jewelry, and a translucent green and gold floaty scarf thingy. The background is a simple green gradient with a crescent moon behind her head.

With tax season in full swing, here's our reminder that TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free.

(Published 2019)
Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free
Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

There is no reforming an institution like this. Abolish and prosecute ICE, and may fifteen generations shudder at their sentence

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure.

Her whereabouts & health are now unknown.

The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

Please stop liking and reposting that Scott Horton guy, he’s plagiarizing other people’s posts and has been a menace on here for a while. Doesn’t respond to people either, just blocks critics.
