there are days when you know you’re doing all you can & it still feels like you have no idea what you’re doing
& then days when you take all the negative energy you feel & try to transform it into something good
just thinking how i can’t tell where i’m going but i know i’m trying really hard 😅

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently.
I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

"Truth is not liberating on its own. It must be connected to power. People don’t just need truth; they need a pathway to act on it without fear of isolation or repression." – Scot Nakagawa
"Truth is strategic, not just moral. But speaking truth isn’t enough. We need to disrupt disinformation systems, counter authoritarian narratives, and create spaces where truth can be heard and acted upon by us."

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

I can’t take seriously any demand for reducing aid dependency that begins with taking away services from the poorest of the poor. To me that is not aid - those are reparations that they are entitled to because of the structural injustices they endure. Start with military aid and then we can talk.
