But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

If a story like that actually exists, please let me know. I feel like it would have been rejected as over the top satire up until the exact moment it became nonfiction .

Of all the sci fi stories about artificial intelligence I can't think of a single one that proposed an actually very stupid computer flattering and sycophanting human users into completely losing their sense of reality. The AI apocalypse, in fiction, involves AIs that are actually intelligent.

A lot of things are really bad, but being able to make something with my hands feels extra powerful these days. Creation in the face of destruction. Remembering this keeps me sane.

They literally ruin everything they touch

Israel is doing it's own Kindertransport, everything to get rid of the "Palestinian Parasite" and execute ethnic cleansing

Two of the most significant politics editors in Teen Vogue’s history were working class trans people from Ohio and Philly, and their tireless, fearless work is a huge part of why so many people are mourning its demise now. @satansjacuzzi.bsky.social and @leximcmenamin.com you will always be famous

And if you're a sex worker? Forget it. People won't see you as a survivor of either overt or covert sexual violence because your occupation makes you "unrapeable." This, of course, isn't true. But many societies see it this way. Whorephobia is vile like that.

Cozy season is upon us! What could be more cozy than a blanket featuring this snoozing bear? I have this + 4 other designs at www.albaillustration.com/original-art... They are 100% cotton, machine washable, + made in the US. Gift them, throw them over your bed or couch, or hang them on the wall! 🐻

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

One way sighted people can determine what to put in alt text: Imagine you sent the post or article to a friend, and the image didn't load. What would someone need to know to get the equivalent experience and context? This will help you identify the important details.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

I spoke to the Houston chronicle on the conditions that I only be referred to as frog

And the scan itself! It's huge. This male aurochs had over 80cm horn span!

A sequel to my previous essay. Here's what happened the night a self-proclaimed fascist said he was going to come back and kill us. tl;dr I experienced the best thing in my 15 year career of performing. www.rosalarian.com/post/transge...

There needs to be a system to appeal medical records the same way you can with criminal records, because biased and fucked up medical records can fuck up your life just as much.

Don’t make me tap the sign.

Some recent projects and also my commissions are open for interesting projects, feel free to dm or email

Even though it feels hopeless sometimes, we still have to fight in whatever ways we can.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

My sister the mayor got the good politics-talking genes in the family, so this Indigenous Peoples’ Day I donated to @nativerights.bsky.social Please check out the work they do at narf.org!

I made a charspookery board at work today! I love the little goat cheese ghost I made and he kept cracking me up all day.

When trusting the process finally starts to pan out 🎉🎉

The Covid pandemic was an opportunity to build back better. To learn from previous mistakes. To value lives over productivity. To unchain ourselves from capitalism. To build networks of community care. I hate that we squandered it, but I still believe it’s possible.

it's jello ghost season #art
