No parent should have to choose between feeding their hungry children or buying medicine for a sick child. $150 is all that stands between my family and tragic loss. Please, open your hearts and help save my son Nasser today. Don't look away.💔👇 chuffed.org/project/185826

Hey, remember how us radical trans extremists were warning that you have to go on the attack against transphobic Dems immediately because otherwise other politicians will take the lack of consequences as permission and the bigotry will spread? Yeah...

Is Europe restraining Israel—or merely protecting the two-state illusion?
This time, Europe seems serious about holding Israel accountable—or at least that is what 11 European countries, together with Canada, want us to believe.

Any analysis of the Iran War that doesn't start and end with the fact that an entire cottage industry of think tankers and lobbyists and their friends in Congress were frothing at the mouth for literal decades for this got exactly what they wanted and it failed immediately and totally is wrong.

do not use these tools for anything. if you must use generative AI host it locally. these evil companies will scoop your work, release it before you do, and take credit for it. their goal is not useful software, it's to be the only ones paid, or to at least extract rents on all human behavior

that time when black men from greensville sc enlisted for ww1 & their wives wanted to stay home & take care of their kids & other community folk in need but white officials "no, no, no!" & called them "loafers" and said they had to do domestic work for white folks or be fined or jailed.

It is also coming off Carter's Quest where the limited budget meant each line had to hit, but boy I hate how all AAA games now have so much useless filler conversation. Everyone talks like a vapid millennial, taking forever to get to the point. I feel like I am at my customer service job.

I really enjoy the second season of The Gentlemen, though I think it’s a lot more serious than the first season at one point. Like, definitely not laughing as hysterically but eventually more impressed with the writing.

In a world where Black liberals defend the US empire and continuously throw Black and Brown people in nonwestern countries under the bus, for "privileges" in capitalist and white supremacist systems, be class conscious working class Black folks like these.

The Why Cheap Art? Manifesto, Bread & Puppet Theater, 1984
the WHY CHEAP ART? manifesto
PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that
ART is a PRIVILEGE of the MUSEMS & the
RICH.   ART IS NOT BUSINESS !
It does not belong to banks & fancy investors
ART IS FOOD . You cant EAT it BUT it FEEDS
you. ART has to be CHEAP & available to
EVERYBODY. It needs to be EVERYWHERE
because it is INSIDE of the WORLD.
ART SOOTHES PAIN !
Art wakes up sleepers !
ART FIGHTS AGAINST WAR & STUPDITY ! 
ART SINGS HALLELUJA!
ART IS FOR KITCHENS!
ART IS LIKE GOOD BREAD!
Art is like green trees!
Art is like white clouds in blue sky!
ART IS CHEAP!
HURRAH!

accountability post. i am not capable of an ironic one liner for this one
letterboxd post: This was the most enthralling, mesmerizing, visceral thing I have seen at the theaters since Zone of Interest. The only other comparison I can think of right now is Apocalypse Now. It's not just Pattinson, but Pattinson is a big part of it. Merritt Wever matches him beat for beat. I am stunned. I left the theater in a daze.

A meme featuring the "Agatha Harkness Winking" scene from the show WandaVision, showing Kathryn Hahn's character wearing a dark sweater over a light collared shirt while making an exaggerated, sarcastic winking face with her mouth wide open. Overlaying the bottom of the image is white capital text reading, "NO, AS A CLIMATE SCIENTIST, MY PROJECT DOESN'T INVOLVE ANY WORK THAT COULD BE INTERPRETED AS CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH," satirically implying the exact opposite of what is stated.
