INBOX: Allegheny County has a confirmed measles case, an unvaccinated minor. If you shopped at Target on McKnight Rd. on 10/1 between 3:45 and 5:45 p.m., you may have been exposed.

If I want one thing from my intermittent fame, it is to be as fondly remembered as Peter Lorre was; a staunchly pro-union actor who animators kept putting in cartoons as way of middle finger to their bosses. I can think of no greater honour.

saw a great tip about using a dog training clicker to mark where you mess up a take in an audio recording, because it generates a nice clean pattern in the waveform that makes it easy to spot works great, but my dog is going nuts

Four YEARS after they went on strike, the journalists at the Post-Gazette have finally won the final case. Thinking of so many who had to walk away from their careers to make money to eat while the evil Block family sat on the money they’ve been due all this time.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

trans lives are playing pieces on a game board to cis ""allies"". they pass ally points back and forth with each other while using us as tools with which to post dunks instead of helping us in any political or material way. they're not really our friends and will get angry at us when we speak up.

"I'm renaming

Banger. Frankly a salve against people weaponizing the language of accountability against survivors.
Our goal is not for every single person to feel comfortable and validated, our goal is to end cycles of harm. Fundamental change in the people who enact harm is by far our preference, but lacking that we understand that our responsibility is then to reduce or destroy their capacity to continue to enact harm on others. We don’t just sit on our hands and hope we can eventually convince them to change at the same time that their enacting of that harm continues to work in their own interest because they’re surrounded by people who think consequences for harm is the same as throwing someone in prison

My framework lately has been that “fascism” is less a thing that a country’s right does and more a thing that a country does. I dunno if it’s possible to actually effect that language shift, but I think it’s conceptually useful to view it as a society-wide shift which hits left & right differently

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Framing any and all backlash to Jacob Geller as carceral is simply a social justice way to call victims hysterical. You're not fucking slick.

yep yep they want to keep their rapist friends without friction or to continue to consume their creative work without guilt and get really mad when feminists say that’s not sufficient to combat patriarchal domination.

Reminder that “carceral logic” is literally about state and medical *incarceration* in its various forms. It is NOT a shorthand for “any social consequences happening at all.” If a response doesn’t include involving organized authoritarian apparatuses and agents: it’s not carceral!

In some ways, the biggest difference between me and a person who is "successfull in media" is this clip right here. Thompson is summoning every ounce of her strength to sit there and listen to sports praise of a sexual predator. I'd... lose my shit and get fired.

hey yinz, today is the first day of the national week without driving! can you challenge yourself to rely on walking, cycling, or public transit to get around for one week so you can more fully appreciate what life is like for the millions of americans who can't drive or don't have access to a car?

See, the problem is, Joyce Carol Oates did a post which people shared on Bluesky approvingly, so then she *had* to do a post which people would share in horror, or otherwise the force would be unbalanced. You can prevent this by just not screenshotting *anything* from Twitter.

if you learn how government works and still want to argue that government actors shouldn't enforce the law on trans people's behalf because what if trump cuts off funding and cutting off the funding hurts cis people, you are doing cis activism, not trans activism
