Over 1,200 people have been killed in Iran since Israel and the US launched its illegal attacks.
Leaders may frame strikes as "defensive", but human beings will grieve all the same.
Starmer is dragging Britain into a catastrophic war. It is other people who will pay the price.
one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
This is beautiful news οΏΌ
Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
fuck. did you know if you change things early in the plot, later plot elements need to change, too? someone should do something about that
only about 20% of bsky users can see the words hidden in this image
Back on twitter (and tumblr before that) i used to think out loud way more.
I kinda want to do that again? But idk what I'd talk about.
If you used to follow me way back when, I'd love to know what you want my take on (if anything)
I think its cause theyre so divorced from other people. They have no sense of mutual care so selflessness means nothing to them
Same! If I had hella money I'd run a theatre dedicated to qpoc artists where everyone got lots of time and freedom and stuff.
The idea of being as selfish as hella rich people perplexes me
If you donβt want ICE on your block but think βAbolish ICEβ is too extreme, you desire a terrorized βotherββ¦just not where it inconveniences you.
If you are, say, a mayor or politician with this view, then you want freedom from terror while also wanting the option to set terror upon others.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
If I worked in fashion I'd be dressing you *constantly*
You look like a top fashion editor or something! Just elegance incarnate
I donβt mean to sound extreme, but I donβt think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.
Don't let an app sync your fucking contacts.
I am once again asking people to stop talking as if "queer romance" and "m/f romance" are mutually exclusive categories.
Being faster is not the same as being more creative.
Creativity is about exploration, learning and problem solving. Thatβs not something you can just outsource and expect the same level of satisfaction or growth from.
The βforeverβ implies that after my own death, an AI simulation of me will take over and continue the conversation
Pro-immigration rhetoric from politicians when?
Yeah ive heard of this shit happening and its fuckin WILD. There's literally no way for normal artists to compete with that
well this was certainly a plot twist

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now
Comic strip showing a stand-up comedian under the title "The Ones Who Bomb In Omegas" He is saying "Hooboy, I should not have brought up the child. This is a tough room, but not the worst room in the city. Am I right?"
Well we said Black and Asian home secretaries are used as a shield to implement racist policies a white man couldnβt get away with and thereβs no starker example than this. The worst kind of identity politics.
Predator handshake meme, one arm labeled Donald Trump, the other Richard Nixon the handshake is Deep Throat
Canβt believe the same thing might bring them down
You know a country by its values. By what a country values. And it turns out thatwhat a country values can change overtime. Sometimes, though, there's a sort of cognitive delay between the country you think you are in, and the country you've actually become. For example, you can keep selling yourself, to foreigners, as the country of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, and luring busloads of tourists to Stratford-upon-Avon and Bath, and put a statue of George Orwell in front of the BBC, and imagine yourself a cultured and literate nation, which the rest of the world admires for its devotion to the written word - but if you then chronically underfund your cultural institutions, and treat your cultural workers with contempt, many people will suspect you of being full of it. And as the decades pass - and fewer and fewer Shakespeares and Austens and Orwells emerge from your little island - even more people will begin to suspect that in truth you do not value culture at all, and are in fact running a giant heritage museum in which the only cultural workers you respect are the dead ones.

A photo of a woman in pink in a wheelchair. She has an intubation for oxygen. She looks up at the viewer. Words: This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine ! would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all. may her memory
I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wongβs) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matterβI am whole. Iβll be posting some of Aliceβs work. β€οΈ forever
