benina @benina.bsky.social · 08/06/2026(is this a safe place to say that i think ragtime's score is perfect but the book bores me?) yes, just from the broadcast it was so clearly creative, dynamic, innovative, and truly pushing the craft forward. it's gonna have an incredibly legacy without the award regardless, but woulda been nice 010

Reposted by beninaKim Kelly @kimkelly.bsky.social · 30/01/2026insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!! 333530740
