2025 art summary!! i had an odd selection because of some projects i did (see thread) but i think it really broadened my horizons!!

There is nothing Israel can do that will ever make it okay to attack your local Jewish community.

I actually think killing people for being Zionist is bad, actually, the same way I think that killing people for being anti-Zionist is. I think killing is bad!

Guys "Bondi Beach was fine because it was an anti-Zionist attack not an antisemitic one" is not as cool an argument as you might think because even if everyone at that Chanuka party was an Israeli waving Israeli flags it would still be deeply fucked up to just go open fire on them

PANEL 1 Renoise, Chipspace, and Georgetta are driving in a car across a lunar highway. Georgetta: I don't get it... We've been driving for nearly 7 hours and I still don't know where we're going! PANEL 2 Chipspace puts her arm around Renoise's shoulder. Chipspace: It's a very special place! Renoise and I went here on our first date! PANEL 3 Renoise and Chipspace both turn back to face Georgetta. Renoise: Trust me, you're gonna love it. PANEL 4 Renoise parks her car and her and Georgetta both step out. Renoise: We're here.

PANEL 6 A view of what Georgetta's seeing: a large lunar impact with a sign reading “Catena Yuri”.

Georgetta and her friends take a road trip to a very important place.

antisemitism has two settings, "shut up jews you're overreacting" and "mass murder"

I’ve gotten a few replies like this today and I just want to point out
1. None of them have come from Palestinians
2. Violent antisemitism predates the existence of a Zionist movement, which began in Europe in an colonialist environment
3. These comments themselves conflate Judaism with Zionism

Tweet from Senator Tommy Tuberville: "Islam is not a religion. It's a cult. Islamists aren't here to assimilate. They're here to conquer. Stop worrying about offending the pearl clutchers. We've got to SEND THEM HOME NOW or we'll become the United Caliphate of America."

Using a horrific antisemitic attack to spread vile, hateful Islamophobia, harms Muslims while doing nothing to help Jews. Especially given that the hero who disarmed a shooter, Ahmed al Ahmed, is a Muslim immigrant to Australia.

"This murder of Jews wouldn't have occurred if those Jews way over there hadn't done something to deserve it" is Nazi talk and you need to automatically report and block anyone who says it. Yes, even the cool leftists.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

“It’s not an honor to be on the forefront of social commentary that makes most people with privilege uncomfortable,” she says.

A hero whose work just made us hope to be better at being human.

bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken

One of the great heartbreaks of being in the disability community is how often we lose people and how many of our most powerful voices have gone silent. We must live our lives loudly and joyously in their honor and remember that our very existence is resistance.

COVID Isn’t Going Anywhere. Masking Up Could Save My Life. "When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving."

Respect Alice Wong’s call here:
“When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

i've done this too - can you join me?

for alice
for palestine
for all of us

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen rando comments today about AIPAC and/or Israel being responsible for yesterday's vote in the Senate, but I am holding firm to the belief than antisemitism-but-leftishly is really not great.

Gut Shabbos and Shabbat Shalom especially to everyone who understands, now more than ever, that Jewish safety will not come from spreading Islamophobia and othering other communities.

MTG seems to be saying all the right things lately. I can't decide if she's sincere & turning over a new leaf or if she's trying to tone down her rhetoric for a future gubernatorial run. Only time will tell.

You fucking people will let anyone off the hook for their violent hateful beliefs and all they have to do is say shiny words you like

You’re all a bunch of Nazi tattoo forgiving, Jewish space lasers forgetting gullible marks getting played for fools

As a Jew I suggest you all go fuck yourselves.

these brows were kinda cunty tbh

Reminder as you watch MTG go on her Trump revenge tour: you absolutely do not have to hand it to MTG.

side note honestly kinda sad that I can't seem to find any real kind of drag community on bsky like drag twitter was a lot but it was also formative back in the day

feels good to be back

To be clear, it is genuinely bad, at a time when neo-Nazism is making a comeback in American political discourse, that we do not have a watchdog organization on antisemitism that can be taken seriously. But the ADL has not behaved in a way over the past year that is worthy of that role.

"you're canadian this doesn't concern you at all" you forget that zohran also had the better fonts. a win for Graphic Design the world over

Hi if you’re working for justice and striving for a better world you can do one small but hugely impactful thing: WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU GO TO VOTE

You will protect yourself and you will also protect all the vulnerable people around you who are literally risking their lives to make their voices count

It's weird to think I've been out of drag for way longer than I was actually doing it because it was such a formative time in my life and still feels like a part of my identity. I'm excited to be back, if only for a night right now

Doing my first drag show in literally five years today and I'm NERVOUS
