Hey @sethmoulton.bsky.social I want you to remember this. You’re a late to the party, excuse waving spineless centrist cosplaying as the resistance, and there are a hundred reasons why you lost, but pissing off mothers of trans girls is what did you the fuck in. Remember what I said.

A white woman with long brown hair in a black jacket and brown skirt speaking to a taller white man in a blue suit. The man’s posture is somewhat slouched, and his hands are clasped close to his crotch, perhaps as protection or capitulation. They are standing in a large hall or cafeteria with many people milling around behind them, and one person holding a camera opposite the person that took this photo.

The data doesn't lie & our report makes it plain: fare-free transit is essential to building more connected communities, improving mobility, & making life more affordable. Congress must pass my Freedom to Move Act with @markey.senate.gov to support fare-free transit everywhere.

More posters went up today! This soggy one is from last week but it’s still fine. #streetart #nemiksmanifesto

A white paper poster on a silver lamp post. Below the text is a stylized illustration of a peacock. The text, formatted in paragraphs in a font that kinda vaguely matches the style of the illustration, is Nemik’s Manifesto from the Star Wars series Andor.

I’ve been pretty quiet online lately but I’m still out here doing stuff.

Photo of a black and white poster on a street post. The poster reads “all you had to do was pay us enough to live” and shows a line art guillotine overlaid on a drawing of an old-timey city street.

You’re not overreacting. I want justice too and I hate that it may never happen. I hate that it feels like good people are always being out organized and evil keeps winning. I hope you don’t lose your access to joy in all this. Not every moment of every day, but little moments between it all.

Even this post is proving it. We started with fonts and now we’re here. Isn’t it crazy? Isn’t it unfair? But at least we have Times New Roman.

If the move off Calibri was to another sans serif font option, I would be elated. But that would have taken consideration and care. They would’ve had to weigh the universality of Noto against the ubiquity of Arial. Open Sans vs Roboto, Lato vs Libre… 7/?

I hate the quasi roundness of the corners. I don’t like the angles of any of the bpdq letters. I don’t think a sans serif should have a double story g or dropped numbers. There’s no excuse for l/I confusion in a sans serif this rounded. Give l a tail you bastards 2/?

I have seen people get thrown face-down onto a hard floor for failing to follow a judge's orders. I have seen people sent to Rikers Island for refusing to follow a judge's order. Courts have plenty of hard power. But they only have practice using it against poor people.
