I’m rebuilding: 1) Mass-unfollowing. 2) Going through my followers individually. 3) Re-following 1/3rd of those accounts—gradually, manually. Please be patient. Recognized means prioritized. Frequent positive interactions = likely to be followed and reciprocated! bsky.app/profile/east...

A pretty straight choice here: regulate your billionaires, or billionaires will end democracy.

Fascism protects itself by trying to make everybody complicit in its crimes. They don't want anybody to have clean hands which they can use to point at them. They want everybody to fear the end of fascism.

Make not opposing genocide hurt more than Israel works to make opposing genocide hurt. Make it hurt politicians' odds. Make it hurt artists' sales. Make it hurt medias' reputation. Make it hate platforms' revenues. Make it career-endingly devastating to stand there and "both sides" mass murder.

yeah but the way out includes taking accountability for committing almost a century of systematic theft, ethnosupremacism, apartheid, illegal occupation, torture, rape, military brainwashing & genocide and given that this fascist faux-mocracy has only existed as such, that would be remarkable

“The purpose of the government’s intimidation tactics is clear: not only to terrorize the immediate critic into silence but also to send a message to others. In other words, to build the foundation of a police state.” wapo.st/4ybPSZa

This is the purpose of data centers. Not ChatGPT that yall keep screaming about. Nobody needs 40,000 acres for a search engine The future of mass surveillance & neo-feudalism (where we are headed) depends on the government AND corporations maintaining a permanent underclass using mass surveillance

Psychologist @cecilietraberg.bsky.social describes the power of storytelling in science communication and education. If you want people to remember scientific ideas or boost their media literacy, you can’t just present data, you need to make them feel the story behind it.

Too many people are too comfortable with their bigotry. They need to be stuffed in virtual lockers.

The two most impactful moments in the 21st Century so far have been 9/11 and Gamergate.

"wow, everyone knew this already" is such a cynical, annoying and unfortunately extremely common response to tech news. assuming your privacy is being violated and proving that it is are two very different things, and the latter is the result of hard work and rigorous reporting

"Debate" has been corrupted by codifying it into a competitive sport imo; at this point it is rarely a method for good faith actors to hit upon best solutions or refine a shared reality; it's mostly a vector for bad faith actors to keep failed and destructive ideas in perpetual zombie currency.

Verbal poll! 1) Where you live, do most people say “coyote”, or “brush wolf”? 2) Did your older relatives say “brush wolf”? (Skip this one if you don’t remember.) 3) Where do you live? I’m a 2nd-gen Torontonian. I’ve never heard “brush wolf” in the wild (heh). How about you? 📷: Kira Gunderson.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

I would like to see the end of the term "vaccine skeptic," to be replaced by "reality denier." These so-called skeptics are actually the most gullible rubes on the planet when it comes to conspiracy nonsense and tech-bro slop; the only thing that makes them skeptical is peer-reviewed evidence.

The people who give us sh*t today very likely don't even know themselves all that well. Most humans don't, & most humans REALLY don't know themselves half as well as CPTSD survivors working our recovery. Why would we care what they think of us? They're clueless about themselves.

Time for an introduction. I am a Dutch wildlie and paleo artist living in Norway. I work in traditional media, like watercolor, acrylics, markers and pencil. I try to bring animals close through my work. I illustrated many books and magazines, and also exhibit my fine art 🎨 www.esthervanhulsen.com

🧠 Is hierarchical reasoning uniquely human, or do we share this capacity across species and development? Our new paper in Cognition, "Flexibility of hierarchical reasoning across age and species," explores how humans and non-humans flexibly deploy recursive strategies! 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

We made an open repository of close relationships measures. Our goal is to catalogue all of the published self-report measures in relationship science. You can help us expand the database by suggesting measures you tend to use in your research, or by uploading your own measures! relascale.com

Frivolous question: Are you currently doomscrolling on your… • phone • tablet • laptop • PC? I’ve approached various neighbours, wanting to briefly borrow their laptop. Every response was identical: “Oh, I don’t have a laptop! I use my phone for everything.” What type of device(s) do you use?

“This is a titanic clash between good and evil. It is not about some warped theology where ‘God’ is in charge of the outcome. “It’s about evil and very stupid people who think they are entitled to get whatever they want. They’re not.” — @progresspac.bsky.social

Happy spooky season!!! 🍂🎃

Unfinished piece for a current commission. The client has requested a modification that will take this illustration to a different direction, but I wanted to shred this one before moving to the new version. #birds

Disturbing.

Very much agree with this. The Trump admin has purposefully attacked mail in voting from multiple directions and continues to make threats of law enforcement at voting sites… their goal is to create confusion, distrust, and fear… to suppress votes.

Indeed. Antlers and all. #FolkHorror #Lovecraftian

The end of 2024 was unbearably difficult for me... I just want to wish all of us that 2025 will be as good and kind as possible. Here is some of my works from this year Happy New Year, friends!💚🌿 #artvsartist #newyear #traditionalartist

Squirrels, 14x11, Acrylic on Panel

It’s time for #artvsartist2025 ! The wild thing about working primarily in book publishing is that nearly all of these illustrations were done in 2023-24, but only came out this year. All the work I’ve done this year won’t be seen until next (and so on and so forth).
