This is the rock that old Earth First! foundered on.
once again these things boil down to “is your group a bohemian cultural identity” or “is your group actually trying to do things?” and the key tell is whether your activity centers on policing of in-group behavior or whether it centers on, again, tangible goals

So....the 2025 remake of The Toxic Avenger is better than the original, while keeping the absolute spirit of the original.
And with significantly less gratuitous nudity.
How the hell they managed to afford Peter Dinklage, Elija Wood, and Kevin Bacon is a mystery, though.

TFW you pull out a T-shirt with a favorite movie character on it, and the actor is a TERF.
BTW and ICYMI, Doug Bradley aka Pinhead is a TERF.

It was a good visit!
On a plane heading back to MI after a delightful week with @tkingfisher.com and @sonney.com I was introduced to MTG and got 4 life birds! Sadly dipped on the Common Crane after an entire day of looking. I thought the guys at the car rental place were going to cry seeing the amount of mud on the car

This is also true for civilian contractors. Yes, I had clearances (but not TS) for prior jobs, because the systems were secure. Did I know what was on them? No. Could I actually access the data? No. Did I need a clearance to work on the hardware? Yes.
I think a lot of people outside the government confuse "has a security clearance" for "knows something" when at least in Army terms what it more often means is something like "everything in Afghanistan was done on secret-level computers so if you wanted to do anything at all you needed a clearance"

I keep saying this and obviously it applies to any place where there's a headline-grabbing crisis/war/situation/etc:
What you see in the news stories about the Twin Cities, even the deep-dive articles, is a *fraction* of what's actually happening. Countless other stories untold.

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to
- create safe spaces
- protect schools
- get kids TO school
- check on neighbors
- deliver groceries
- help pay the rent
- let people know of danger
- feed the helpers, too!

I need y'all to understand this in the coming days if what I'm hearing is true.
Philly is not simply an angry city. Philly is a city that *takes 0 shit from others*. We will close ranks around our own and protect them against outsiders. We are kind.
But we sure as fuck ain't nice.

Read this thread. Michael is spot on, as he always is.
In a recent episode of @arcanecarolinas.bsky.social we discussed an 18th/19th century NC legislator accused at the time of being a werewolf (for real). He was a grifter and racist, sent hired goons into towns that didn't vote for him, assaulted people, weaponized frivolous lawsuits, the works. 1/6

Thanks to my volunteer work at the Carnivore Preservation Trust (now the Carolina Tiger Rescue) in Chatham County NC AGES ago, I can say I have pet the following:
Ocelot
Caracal
Baby Snow Leopard
Baby Tiger
They were all very soft.

I got to pet an ocelot once and it was so soft and precious I walked around for the next hour riding a legitimate ocelot high.
Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

If you work for ICE, quit now.
Your chances for future employment, meaningful friendships, and frankly, not getting shanked in prison are already pretty slim, but if you quit RIGHT NOW you might avoid the worst of what is coming.
Especially if you blow some whistles, and then testify.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Ya know, I expected the boot stamping on a human face, and I expected the cross carrying and wrapped in a flag. But what about the constant, internal screaming in the back of my head? Nobody said anything about that.

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀
