So @underthedesknews.bsky.social is urging folks to call your Senators especially if they are the 8 yes votes and demand they vote no on the next round. This isn’t over. Like I said earlier: it’s boots on necks time. We raise hell and we don’t abandon folks w/ ACA.

I've been making drops at my local free fridge as often as I can get down there. I've been heartened to see a lot of other people doing the same.

just a reminder that the 8 Dems who folded need to vote again later in the week (thanks to dumb senate procedure, unsurprisingly)

light their phones up tomorrow at 9AM

Are y'all ready for my latest conspiracy theory?

The US consumer is completely drained, and what did they do with all that cash they extracted from us? Lit it on fire to make a machine so advanced its the first ever computer that can't do math and spent the remaining scraps buying the media and presidency so people couldnt be mean about them

Can't wait to see it!

If you’ve been feeling helpless— this is a thing you can do! It’s been effective in the past.

Thank you to Eddy Choi for the heads up about Comic Art Fans. I’ll be making my work related art available there. Here’s some stuff I added this morning already, more coming soonish (link in comments). Huge thank yous for the recent Big Cartel orders; they will be going out tomorrow!

A story in four parts

A cooking pot on a wooden floor. A few inches away stands a smiling pomeranian.

I was taking a photo of a pot to see if any of my friends wanted it but needed something for scale...

I'm so sorry. I can recommend some binders lol

If you see anyone sharing lists of worker-owned sites that are trying to fight all this madness, please consider shouting out @popheist.com. We are still new and trying to get the word out. Anything helps!

I am having a debate with my husband, so please chime in with your input. In your elementary school experience, who went to Jupiter to get more Stupider?

Yeah 😔most of the time we only get like, joke manga with them. I don't understand! They're endgame! Why is it easier to find Snake/Raiden???

I have a literal SHELF of mgs doujins and like TWO of them are otasune. It's absurd.

If they remade weird science with girls, they'd just create some guy with a dad bod

I have what the kids call a "niche sense of humor".

I've encountered a few people arguing that tariffs are good, actually, because they will force us to consume less and while I think our consumer culture is problematic in many ways, I don't think things such as 'food' and 'medical supplies' fall under the category of unnecessary purchases.

Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores. This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately?

anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

This is important. Food banks can bulk buy, and stretch that money further than you can. They also know what they actually need. Money is better!
