I grew up under a totalitarian regime (1960s Prague) Déjà vu + PTSD. And.
I walk. I write. I draw. I read. I laugh. I cook. I cry. I love. I can't cross running water without stopping. I love to sing and do it badly.
No posts, no follow. And no DMs plz.

Also… beware of the MAGA agitators Trump has ordered to disrupt today’s peaceful protesting so he can frame it as hate.

McBride: If we summon our hope then we will find the light and turn this moment into what a friend from Florida once called a slingshot moment.. where we are pulled backwards but the tension and pressure of being pulled backwards ultimately propels us to destinations that we have not yet been

My advice for emerging artists and pros alike: it’s time for in person events.
The industry and community is scattered and algorithms are currently siloing us off.
Go to cons, festivals, screenings + launches, and other art events.
While social media is still shifting, invest in face to face.

"Unflinching belief that we are right, we are righteous, and we will win."
The antidote to doomerism isn’t blind optimism, it’s a strident, rebellious, unflinching belief that we are right, we are righteous, and we will win.

When times get tough we all need a sacred place we can go to reconnect with our spirit and become whole again.

3 things I did this morning to try and help, in case they inspire you to do similar things in your area:
1. Set up a small monthly donation to Wikipedia and Internet Archive. As websites get doctored or scrubbed, keeping records becomes even more important. These are 2 places trying to do that.

It's a coup.
The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014.
This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.*

Yeah anyone who voted for Trump is complicit in this, AND
A lot of people don't think voting really makes a huge difference beyond communicating satisfaction/dissatisfaction.
And went, "eh, hell, things suck, I'm gonna go say 'fuck you' to the guy in charge of it all"

2) if I thought all 77 million were fully on board with all policies, with Nazi salutes at the inauguration, with all the hate and vitriol, I'd be even more hopeless about the state of the country. It's helpful for me, personally, to know they aren't all hardcore MAGA white Christian nationalists.

Good Morning Blue Sky! Although it feels as if we've been plunged into darkness, we can choose to be the light. Start small. You never know when a simple smile will be the light that someone needs to get through the day. The choice is ours, we can choose darkness or we can be the light 💕

ALERT! Scam texts from the "IRS" asking for personal information so they can send you $1400 stimulus. THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR INFORMATION. BLOCK THESE TEXTS. If you qualify for the $1400 the IRS will automatically send it to you in the mail. They will not be texting you.

the simplest advice in the world is if you are on offense it looks like you are winning and if you are on defense it looks like you are losing and it doesn't matter what: pick something
