A graphic reminder…
ID: 4 squares depicting how 3 individuals access watching a game. Reality shows two people who can’t see over a fence, one in a wheelchair and one standing in a hole with less than he needs, and one with more than he needs standing on several boxes. Equality shows everyone with the same box, but it is not accessible to the wheelchair user. Equity shows everyone getting the individual support they need, like a box and a ramp. Justice shows the barrier removed—a see-through fence.

Guess what time it is?
A drawn poster proclaiming “BECOME UNGOVERNABLE” in the corner while purple pigeons swoop and dive, eating food on a city street as a taxi approaches. One pigeon stares uncomfortably closely and inquisitively at the viewer.

I’m logging out of my Meta-owned accounts starting midnight tonight and encourage others to do the same to send a message. We owe neo-Nazi megalomaniac corporations zero attention at a time when they badly want it.
[ID: on a background of America as if seen from a satellite with sporadic clusters of lights, white lettering reads: Lights out META. January 19-26, 2025. Log out of all META platforms for a week. FACEBOOK-INSTAGRAM-THREADS-MESSENGER-WHATSAPP-GIPHY-METAQUEST-RAYBAN META]

Happy Thanksgiving- remember to bring this up at dinner!
A 1950’s styled propaganda poster with a cartoonish futuristic white blonde man in blue and yellow kicking the Monopoly Man as he runs away with a bag with a dollar sign on it. The sign reads “Refugees didn’t take away affordable housing. Rich landlords and greedy politicians did.”

My cat Fez in his blue period.
Illuminated by a blue glow, a tabby cat lies stretched out on top of a bed, looking contented with his tail curled around him, while a human hand rubs his belly.

Seen at an NYC bakery:
A frame sitting atop a bakery display, proclaiming in all caps: CUPCAKES ARE JUST MUFFINS THAT BELIEVED IN MIRACLES.

A laptop covered with stickers, including a cat/bat Cthulhu, a Fangoria sticker in teal and hot pink made out of bones and chainsaws, a sparkly sticker of Edward Cullen that says “This is the Skin of a Killer, Bella” a pink Access Bitch sticker, a black/holographic image of two skeletons making the peace sign that says “Stay Spooky”, a black sticker that reads “Assigned Cute at Birth” with the international symbol for queer crips, a black sticker with a rainbow and lightning that says Radical Queer Joy, and in the center, a holographic sticker of the international symbol for queer crips with the colors of the Palestinian flag.

New to bluesky. Pledging to do better with alt text #alttextispoetry while also cuing up an old favorite:
Poster for The Dresser (1983) that shows Albert Finney in partial King Lear makeup in front of a mirror, staring off to the side suspiciously at Tom Courtenay bringing him a drink.
