they’re also not capitalizing on the empathetic perception, though, which is surprisingly high - leaning into moral clarity/strength (and actually, like, acting on it) could go a long way in changing the ‘weak’ and ‘ineffective’ perception

i’ve been thinking about this a lot! i think it also manifests in folks on the left feeling overwhelmed — and confused/exasperated by how so many people can buy in to right-wing ideology.

We had $18k in rent requests come in just today (so far).

We’re anticipating needs at our neighborhood school to be over $100k again this month, but this time donations are WAY down. We don’t have enough money to cover everyone.

Please help us keep our neighbors w/ young kids from being evicted!

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

Proposed cuts to libraries, parks, CUNY, housing + health, while keeping NYPD + Corrections intact; proposed real property tax increases disproportionately affecting Black owners + most tenants; homeless encampment sweeps.

Why is Z proposing these regressive measures, and how best can we respond? 🧵

A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.

I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

no more AI "art." i want art made by people because i want to know how people think, feel, live. how a day on this earth is for someone else. a night. and why the heart, though so heavy, still wants to dance. i want art that looks into this mystery. art that connects me to another person who wonders

the bros love AI for just this reason! their take on chatgpt could be an easy litmus test?

Near the end of the ceremony's lengthy Parade of Nations, the U.S. delegation of athletes, decked out in white Ralph Lauren coats, entered the stadium to cheers and whistles. But the crowd's mood seemed to shift when the screen switched from the athletes to the stands, where Mr. Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, were waving small American flags.

nyt also pretty clear

wow, gorgeous. is that a nod/homage to vets, do you think? feels so military-inspired

😭😭😭 maybe someone should make really cool ones - could be a great marketing device for human composting!

could we make it mean that? simple burial™️

terramation’s not bad - hadn’t heard that before (is it too close to claymation?) - but really like @caitlindeangelis.bsky.social ‘s ‘simple burial’

seems like people here really like the composting options but i don’t! i’ve been familiar with the terms for a while, but they still make me picture compost bins, unfortunately. (maybe bc i live in nyc and compost bins are a big part of our life?)

Hey want to help the whistle goblins I print with make more whistles? There are approximately eleventy-billion wishlists here with filament begging to be bought and turned into whistles to deploy to across the country. Buy some filament and help the cause: linktr.ee/WhistleWishl...

Get in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results. This weekend, Amazon is premiering it's $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop. But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller, Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie. The book is perfect: it's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money. We need people to: 1. "buy" the book (it's free) 2. Share this post and get other people to buy the book. That's it. Then we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon.

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

i had the same thought. it’s white new englanders behind this? (that said, the poll’s only ~1000 ppl so could be a fluke?)
