I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.
Diagram titled 'Possible causes of your problems'. On the left hand side, subtitled 'Yes': Funding removed from local councils, growing gap between rich and poor, multinational companies not paying their taxes, lack of new affordable housing, government not investing sufficiently in schools and healthcare. On the right hand side, subtitled 'No': Picture of small boat, with arrow; 'People fleeing horrific situations that you and I can't imagine'.

I'm an untrained artist designing merch that draws on niche pop culture mashups for queer pride, nerd humor, and agitprop for a better world being possible. This thread includes a sampling of my work, which you can find on stickers and shirts, pins, prints, and patches at willburrows.art/shop
A vinyl sticker featuring a drawing of Garak making jazz hands in front of a rainbow, overlaid with the text, "Friend of Garak" in DS9 title fonts.A poster featuring a drawing of Miles O'Brien teaching Rom and Leeta about unions over Guinness and snail juice in Quark's Bar. Above, it says "The boss needs you, you don't need them!" and below it says "Labor is entitled to all it creates."A gold Starfleet delta insignia with the three arrows symbol in black enamel in the center, and a high gloss surface.An embroidered patch featuring Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors growing in a can that says "compost the rich."

The Adventures of Prince Achmed is the earliest animated feature that survives today. It's from 1926 -- and it's a masterpiece. Director Lotte Reiniger and her team set out to make a movie unlike any other, and they succeeded. We tell the story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-99-yea...

A little more about THE WOLF AND HIS KING, my Bisclavret retelling coming this November from Gollancz. Please enjoy the manicules, I am very pleased with them. Pre-order links here: finnlongman.com/books/the-wo...
The cover of The Wolf and His King by Finn Longman in the centre of a gold square. Around it, in a pseudogothic font, are notes on its contents and themes. Each is pointing to the cover with a pointing finger (a manicule). The text: werewolf knight; the mortifying ordeal of being known; probably too much Latin; 12th century Brittany (sort of); the king's scribe-with-benefits; romance (medieval) with the yearning of romance (modern); period-typical heresy; manuscript production; feelings about fealty; werewolfism as metaphor for chronic illness/pain. At the top it reads "a queer retelling of Bisclavret"; at the bottom, "coming from Gollancz, 27th November 2025".

So YouTube just rolled out an Auto-dubbing feature, which takes spoken audio, translates it, and uses your voice to make you say it. It’s an AI audio bank. Be cautious as to where your voice goes and who uses it on the platform. This is a major issue of voice autonomy now.
