Here I will be swearing about things and in such a way that would look bad on my CV. Hobbies include not wanting to go to work and reading too much.

you may have noticed that animation has never been more in-demand & in the zeitgeist and yet, seemingly, never have media conglomerates been less willing to produce it. you may also notice these guys get multimillion dollar severance packages after they gut a studio. there is probably no connection

“No warrants are shown, as far as we can tell there’s no legal ground for them to come onto private property. It seems like they’re pushing through the construction process quickly and will deal with the law later,” said Rachel, a land defender who spoke with UR about the raids.

The Works Progress Administration was created in May 1935 as part of the New Deal to provide jobs to the unemployed during the Great Depression. One of the WPA’s most idealistic goals was to send books and librarians to areas where there were none. Read more: bit.ly/4hkgtNC #ALA150

A digital illustration in a graphite style of my fluffy gray cat, Bear, with a sort of blank expression on his face. Behind the graphite drawing is a varied gradient of colors in his fur, grays, blues, purples, yellows, pink in the ears and yellow eyes. Across his impressive fluffy mane are hand lettered words in a block serif style reading 'Maybe It will happen today'

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph
Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential 
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic 
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is 
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted 
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s 
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those 
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is 
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not 
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

"In other words, the people who are the most 'polarized' in the U.S. electorate are those who are racist and sexist, and those who oppose racists and sexists."
Screenshot of article which reads: These numbers are relatively similar between Democrats and Repub-
licans, which often leads political pundits to claim this is more evidence 
of “polarization,” and that both sides are equally to blame. However, 
a closer look tells a more interesting story. The people who are most 
likely to vilify and dehumanize their partisan opponents are Republicans 
who are high in racism and sexism and Democrats who oppose racism 
and sexism. The people who are least likely to vilify and dehumanize 
their political opponents are Republicans who are low in racism and sex-
ism. One explanation for these patterns is that those Republicans who 
are racist and sexist vilify and dehumanize Democrats because they see 
the Democratic Party as a party of racial minorities and women; and 
Democrats who score low in racism and sexism will vilify and dehu-
manize Republicans because they consider Republicans to be racist and 
sexist. In other words, the people who are the most “polarized” in the 
U.S. electorate are those who are racist and sexist, and those who op-
pose racists and sexists.

An illustration done mostly with digital colored pencils. Ok, so we have a wooden coffin in the classic top-heavy hexagon shape. The coffin is propped up at an angle on nothing against a background of gray-blue paint splatters as a spooky sheet ghost rises out of it. Although it’s not a real sheet as it’s translucent and there’s nothing inside of it except a gape-mouthed green skull in the approximate head position within the sheet. The ghost is wearing a big. floppy, black witch’s hat and there’s a little brown bat hanging down from the wide brim. The ghost’s arms are extended holding a jack o’ lantern with a one-toothed frowny face carved into it. Popping out of the jack o’ lantern is a a black cat with green eyes balancing the cap of the pumpkin on his head. And on the stem of the pumpkin cap is a very serious-looking brown speckled owl. A series of spooky speech balloons is chained together around all this , each balloon containing one word and associating back tot he spooks and creatures named in the reverse order listed. The lettering in the balloons is red and drippy and reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.
