Sitting there with your little paddles and not leaving or interrupting this bullshit only grants it the veneer of normalcy.

This isn’t normal. And if you value decorum over the lives of trans people, over the destruction of democracy, go find another job. We don’t need you.

Great article
As the United States launches an imperialist trade war against Canada and Mexico, it’s time for countries to come together to form an alliance against the US — and that includes rapidly curtailing their dependence on Silicon Valley.

The US can’t be allowed to get away with this.

I strongly encourage readers of indie queer and especially trans books to start using itchio as more of us authors move away from Amazon. Authors get a bigger cut, you can tip, and, most importantly, you will actually own your ebooks instead of just licensing them from Amazon.
One thing I absolutely love about itch.io is that it lets me pay more

No, seriously! I love putting in some extra, knowing that it’s going to an indie creator

Dying Leaves, watercolor pencil and ink, 2025. Haven't used watercolor pencil in a long, long time, so I didn't get the desaturated colors of the reference, but I like the colors and lines anyway. #ink #watercolorpencil #art

this is essentially, what's up
The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on. They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

people should probably stop listening to anything these democratic strategists have to say considering where their strategies have gotten us
Very serious Democratic strategists advise the party to allow Trump to illegally dismantle USAID -- a decision that will result in the unnecessary deaths of people around the world.

I'm going to say it again:
Immigration is good, actually.
There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what.
"Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.

OK, academics. If you’ve ever bloviated through a faculty meeting, slow-walked a task you didn’t want to do, or refused to approve a document until 10,000 minor points are clarified, it’s time to use those skills for good.
I'm digging how this WWII guide is basically "gum up fascism by being an energy vampire." Let Colin Robinson be your guide in the fight against fascism. The link: www.404media.co/declassified...

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Passionflower study. Definitely should have drawn at a larger scale and used a few different widths and hardnesses of graphite... but oh well. Sometimes practice is pain.

this is relevant because concentration camps are a tactic with a wide history and base of usage outside the Nazi system. the very first concentration camps in world history were started IN CUBA by the Spaniards. the coming crimes will be extremely American in nature. Not German.

Just a reminder to friends to keep in mind that they are in a public forum and to save your bigger feelings for in-person or, if desperate, for Signal.

But realistically: In-person with trusted friends. Is where you should discuss those feelings.

the bad things our government is about to do are downstream of the bad things our government has done. don't give the Nazis credit for our unique history of harming vulnerable people in creative ways

Call it a purge, not a buyout. Call it a coup against Congress, not a spending pause. Call it censorship, not a review. Words matter, and we in the media have a chance to do better this time.

One downstream effect of Luigi's hard work is that you tend to see a lot more extremely based things.

You matter. Don't let them quiet your voice, dim your light, diminish your joy. Your unique spirit and perspective add to the world. You are a light in the darkness. Burn bright. #resist

If you feel despair, if you feel defeated, if you catch yourself dissociating or focusing on what our oppressors are doing rather than on what you can do yourself—that is territory that the enemy has claimed within you.

Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. We are in a fight that we can win. 🏴🏴🏴
