@transnews.network covered instances of this happening a few weeks ago as a small part of a larger story, and now its only getting worse. patreon is full on trying to ban NSFW content and NSFW creators from their site. ive lost count of the amount of creators getting deplatformed

Please consider supporting me on SubscribeStar, this obviously is a major income loss and I am not sure if I will be able to recover from it if things do not go smoothly

I lost my Patreon for the time being. This obviously is a massive blow. I will try to resolve Patreon’s issues with my ASMR account, but I think this is the beginning of the end for using Patreon as a VTuber

It's not amnesia. It's reality avoidance and, in many cases, willful ignorance
“I think there’s a collective amnesia right now about COVID-19”

I do not think all anti-Zionists are antisemitic, but anti-Zionists who label Zohran Mamdani a "Zionist" simply because he condemned swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn are in fact antisemites.

mamdani having a short-lived soundcloud rap career 8 years ago is perhaps one of the most fitting things to see in the first millennial mayor of nyc

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.

I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them
New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Link to the extraordinary intervention, which has likely been influenced by the outside groups which have been agitating to censor the truth about the Gaza Genocide all year.

His "NPOV working group" is part of his attempt to force Wikipedia to deny the genocide.

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations.

Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.

the way it treats the everyday people who live in pawnee makes it unbearably nasty. i like a number of the actors on it (not chris pratt, terrible man) but it is so deeply shitty

I rewatched Parks and Rec recently, and it is the most shallow liberal dem vote blue no matter who garbage you can find in a sitcom, it has aged so poorly. It is not even remotely close to being a form of leftist media

Sure it has some laughs mixed in, but it’s 100% lib fan fiction
The fact that a lot of leftists despise Parks and Rec - one of the best and most sympathetic depictions of non-cop government in modern media - is a symptom of the fact that a lot of the left has no idea how to actually implement the policy proposals they want to enact.
The reason 30 Rock succeeds years later while parks and rec has aged like a toilet full of milk, is that 30 Rock doesnt shy away from portraying Liz Lemon as an obvious villian with a victim/hero complex, whereas Leslie Knope was played just a straight hero character, even tho she is a neolib shill

sitcoms are not a real battlefield for ideological theory, but I hate Parks and Recreation so deeply that I cannot resist a chance to kick it in the teeth.

parks and rec utterly despises the ordinary people of pawnee. it deeply resents anyone outside of leslie's inner circle. deeply nasty work that thinks itself hopeful and optimistic.

this is unfortunately still notable in mn. there's a huge contingent of people rallying behind the somali community here, but there are still plenty of racist shitheads, especially in the more yuppie areas of the city.

just a sign there's more work to do
fateh's loss is, as far as i can tell, the only major loss of ED. it must be noted. fateh had a strong coalition and major support from the left; establishment endorsements didn't do as much for frey as he hoped. so what made frey win?

principally: antiblackness. anti-somali racism. islamophobia.

regardless of your thoughts on last night's elections, the need to organize does not go away, and arguably is just as important. elections wont save us - our communities will
