Itโ€™s wild living in a country where anti-Black racism is so deeply engrained and where the most racist people understand, on some level, that โ€˜racism is badโ€™ but have basicallyโ€ฆ re-zoned the definition of โ€˜racismโ€™ to the point where it no longer describes their own values and beliefs.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like โ€œSome Trump voters are racistโ€ we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like โ€œGood morning fellow SS members. Whoโ€™s ready to respect Hitler today?โ€

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

Purity tests is just the Democrat way of calling people woke.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss ๐Ÿ’”

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you havenโ€™t met needs to know your last name.

An entertainment weekly Facebook post about the upcoming IT: Welcome to Derryโ€ series. The caption reads:

โ€œPennywise won't be the only familiar face roaming around in 'It: Welcome to Derry.' A certain character from 'The Shining' is back in the Stephen King-verse, and he's not the 'nice' guy that fans remember. See the link below โฌ‡๏ธโ€

It includes a photo of Dick Hallorann (portrayed by actor Chris Chalk).

I low-key hate that Iโ€™m going to hate-watch at least the pilot of this series.

Iโ€™m increasingly unnerved by how intertwined these programs are becoming in peopleโ€™s lives and how dependent folks are becoming on them.
Especially because the numerous issues with them are no secret.

"to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues" a kid killed himself after being encouraged to do so by ChatGPT, thousands if not millions of people are having adverse mental health effects using it, and it literally told @caelan.bsky.social to kill a list of people

As an allegory for oppressed & marginalized people, the storytelling for the X-men has been hamstrung by its writers primarily* being members of the majority, mostly* men for whom oppression is a thought exercise.

Also, mutants should be queerer and weirder (physically, culturally & generally).

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Whatever you do, please donโ€™t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

books should have an anti-acknowledgements section where the author talks shit about all the people who fucked them over while they were trying to write the thing. not bc I personally want to write one but bc I love gossip

My main campaign hasn't had any movement for a bit. There are still quite a few gaps in my gear, and I still do foolish things like pinch pennies from my gig wages to purchase make or break essentials (this month that's a headlamp for suturing).

Every bit helps.

Does anyone in #libraries have an example of a collection management policy that specifically excludes GenAI? I want to propose it to our board and they find examples convincing.
