"trans people are bullying artists and trying to destroy their careers!" actual trans people: getting dogpiled for politely explaining in good faith why artists shouldn't participate in an incel art trend which includes a violent slur and is also part of a transphobic franchise

you can immediately tell who's safe and who isn't based on if they still think something is the same amount of wrong depending on whether it was done by someone they like or not

Did you notice that when the woman youtuber was a confirmed plagiarist everyone was happy to end her career forever but when the man youtuber is a confirmed rapist we suddenly get dozens of posts about how "disheartening" it is that people don't believe in restorative justice

“I kept begging for a divorce, and he’d threaten to kill my children.” “I was in a very abusive, sick relationship.” These women were imprisoned for crimes that stemmed from their abuse. A new law offered them a second chance. (Published Feb. w/ @nytimes.com)

An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of women who killed their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison?

i love how strongly anti-AI young buckaroos are, and the creative community is, and basically anyone who knows anything about it. but dang i wish folks brought that kind of fight to the world of erotica. such a sneaky reveal of how those who CLAIM to care actually dont see erotica as 'real art'

Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.

Following our performance at the Star Theatre, Singapore on 29th July, we were surprised and disappointed that our entire band was detained by the police, isolated and separately questioned - with some mnembers subjected to hotel room searches & temporary passport confiscation.

 Before we set foot on the stage & again at the end of the show, large sections of the auditorium organically led chants of "Free Palestine" presumably aware but undeterred that this spontaneous expression alone could violate their governmnent's censorship laws. 

For our part, we did not imagine that merely holding up the flag of a sovereign state recognised by 157 countries
(Palestine) would violate any law.On reflection, we are proud to have made this impromptu expression with our fans in Singapore who clearly felt a moral imperative to show solidarity with the people of Palestine in their ongoing reality of illegal occupation, apartheid & genocide, & we salute their courage in doing so. Right across the world, the continued inaction of the
"international community" is moving citizens to personal risk. 

This surreal experience was a reminder of the importance of defending universal human rights & freedom of expression wherever those rights are threatened, including at home in the UK where, extraordinarily, we still see peaceful protestors arrested under terrorism laws for holding up handwritten signs protesting genocide despite appeals from all sides of the political spectrum.We're grateful to the people of Singapore who made us feel so welcome, and hope that the Government of Singapore will choose to ratify the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights & allow their citizens expressions of conscience without fear of state prosecution.

As we were saying... Free Palestine.

The van hands out food, water, clothes, first aid and free HIV tests. Locals recognize "Thrivey" as it drives across the Twin Cities. The van, and everything in it, is funded by federal money that has been suddenly revoked, as the government reroutes grants from nonprofits to state health agencies.

Today, we are sharing difficult news. While ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies was released to critical acclaim, its commercial performance has not enabled us to sustain a studio of our current size. 
We have served redundancy or at-risk notices impacting up to 32 of our colleagues across all departments at ZA/UM Studio. Their work has made a lasting difference and left its mark on ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies, and the studio as a whole. 
Throughout this difficult process, we have continued to consult and work with representatives of the ZA/UM Workers' Alliance. 
This changes the shape of ZAUM, but not its purpose. Our artistic standards remain unchanged: we will persist. 
To anyone currently hiring, please consider the colleagues leaving ZA/UM.
