After Trump passes on, I'll be waiting for the hilarious "Trump isn't really dead, he's gone into hiding so he can save America from the background" group. It's 100% happening.

when you struggle to pay your rent because you get paid fuck all in wages, cans of soup are $8, your neighbours get put in labour camps, kids can't read because schools are defunded and books are all banned, know that at least israel and russia can mercilessly commit war crimes on that dime yay

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. ICE’s unchecked power won’t rein itself in. If we want real oversight, accountability, and an end to intimidation tactics that target vulnerable communities, we have to demand it—loudly and publicly. Abolish ICE.

“A familiar feature of fascism is the transformation of politics into spectacle. Fascism wants to reduce active citizens into voyeurs—especially voyeurs of cruelty and death. Such degradation of a democratic public is key to fascism’s project and to its success.” www.thebulwark.com/p/hegseth-wa...

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

If you‘ve studied history, you know what Trump and his fellow fascists are doing in Minnesota. They’re calling Somali Americans “garbage” and “enemy combatants“ because fascists need to create enemies and foment hate to excite their sick supporters.

This is also how I view the whole AI “entertainment catered to you” experience. I don’t come to art for things I already know and what I already want. And sometimes the new stuff isn’t stuff I like. That’s what taking in art is.

YouTube hasn't paid out music streaming earnings to Distrokid for almost two months with no communication, so my income has been cut in half just for fun. It's a startling reminder that the entire streaming ecosystem could just go away overnight because a tech company lets it. Buy albums if you can.

The Plot to Enslave America requires them to destroy the notion of reality and truth. They will use the legal immunity conferred by the captured courts and the technology the tech oligarchs have developed to hasten this plan by flooding the information environment with fake video.

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

If you can't adopt there are lots of other things you can do to help. Foster, volunteer, fundraise, do a supply drive, sign up for your local shelter's newsletter to find out other ways to help. Remember that volunteering doesn't necessarily mean physical labor - shelters need all kinds of skills!

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.
