I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

What the actual fuck??? This is a really scary situation. This family is already facing death threats which is why they are leaving.

Because Dr. Bray is a scholar of anti-fascism.

This is a love letter to fandom, to those who stay up late reading fic, who still argue for your favorite ship, who found themselves in stories.

Watching the folks in AABB share information, co-write legislation, show up to library & school board meetings, & speak up to publishers about the need to protect diverse books & minority authors has been amazing!

Everyone start burning Confederate flags. I'm trying to see something.

A tasty lunch for a hard afternoon of comics selling!

…Are they going to ban UFOs from that airspace as well? 🤣

Like, they didn't have to go this hard, right? XD What should have been 'we're doing Mortal Kombat now' turned into a fascinating study on good and evil, a hero's inherent nature and the inevitability of time.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

Digital portrait painting of cereal mascot Boo Berry from the famous Halloween-themed cereal Boo Berry. He’s a cartoon ghost with a half-lidded gaze adjusting a red bow tie on his non-existent spectral neck while wearing a straw boater hat.

Digital portrait of famous cereal mascot Count Chocula from the Halloween themed cereal of the same name. He’s a vampire with a long face and a long crooked nose wearing a high collared cape and raising a single finger in exclamation. He also has two buck teeth and two high points in his quaffed hair.

Digital portrait of famous cereal mascot Franken Berry from the Halloween themed cereal of the same name. He is a big pink oafish looking monster wearing heavy studded metal goggles with various steam engine parts sticking out of his head. He’s pointing to himself with his index finger which happens to include a strawberry shaped fingernail.

ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!

Happy Halloween from me and the General Mills cereal monsters! I painted these portraits two years ago now I think but I still love ‘em

I am now on Tubu. I've moved to Heebee. I signed up for Poodee with invite codes. I'm literally on Dippy. You can find me on Weeno. Dude, I just moved to Gumpy. I'm a Pheebo girl. I'm on Poob. at me on Poob. You can Poob me.

YouTube video by Landaas Music MTV Basement Tapes 1986 (Full Show)

Watched a video about the downfall of MTV being inevitable, how the pivot into reality TV kept them alive AND killed them. I really like the linear video channel as a concept. I think they missed a chance to bring back "Basement Tapes" - blending music+reality.

I don't have a hot comics take.

Uplift your peers, celebrate your friends.

that's it.

Yeah, DC K.O. #1 is pretty rad and a good appetizer for the main course of those tournament brackets. A lot to read, but Snyder really gives weight and importance to the Fate of the Universe (tm) for once and those fights are really gonna sing!

Chicks dig the hat.

@bkindivisible.bsky.social members also folded the incredible @meganpiont.bsky.social's awesome "How to Report ICE" zine for distribution!

BAM! POW! WAK!

My friend Buttons asked for Minnie and Daisy as 1960s crimefighters!

We shouldn’t forget.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”
