I don’t have $ to contribute but you can have my time! Happy to fold zines, staple whistles, help walk for distribution

@kellycheatle.bsky.social I will happily walk around the neighborhood dropping off whistles into the little free libraries

Unfortunately, but I can pretend that maybe my birthday will actually be the day!

You know it’s gotten weird when you’re on the same page as Ted Cruz and Karl Rove.

I keep typing words and then deleting them because none of them are sufficient to capture how utterly fucked up and unacceptable this is. And yet it won't move a single Republican to give a damn.

So much time and money will be spent on this

A very useful way to spend $3

Has anyone ever gone through a business rebranding? I worked in marketing when a small nonprofit did. Less than 10 staff, small website. It was a whole nightmare for over a year. Changing the name of even a small business is a huge undertaking. I can’t imagine what a nightmare this would be.

I’d figure out what was needed to make Post a thing again.
One of the old churches and turn it into a concert hall.
Grocery stores. One in each neighborhood.
A new weekly newspaper.

β€œJust because someone is handing you a bag of dog turds, doesn’t mean you have to take it.”

Was always followed by β€œDon’t hand out bags of dog turds.”

Oh absolutely. The whole β€œchange your text/values/performance or we’ll destroy your organization and come for your community next” is par for the course.

We may never find out if individual collectors are selling off to the same people.

Hopefully we never come to armed troops storming institutions

Could you mail the European ones, too? Asking for myself/my Swedish nephews.

But yeah, you shouldn’t have to.

There are some fascinating documentaries about the theft of art that happened in wwii.

It’s interesting to me that we’re seeing systemic destruction of the arts again, but this time without the pillaging. Maybe it won’t happen. Maybe it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe we just haven’t heard about it.

*I’ve been a book maker since I was a toddler. And had a past life reading that mentioned being a printmaker. I didn’t actively study those things until 15ish years ago though.

Hello. For those of you who are unfamiliar with my career, you might like to know that I have 20 years of arts nonprofit administration experience. And that is the thing I have the least experience in. The reasonable* maximum is 30 years of experience with photography.

I know my shit, thx ☺️

I have a better chance of surviving that then Yellowstone. But even that is starting to look appealing.

At what point will I be able to stop worrying about my student loans and worry about food security instead?? If the govt collapses we get student loan forgiveness, right??

Bless this man. I pray he isn’t disappeared or further harmed.

I pray this stops. Anyone could be next.

🧊 agents cosplay as police making it difficult to tell them apart. Despite their police protection, they cover their faces and hide their names because they know what they’re doing is amoral and unjust.

We will not know who they are when they snatch us off the streets.

I have never shared video of a Black person being assaulted like this before. It’s traumatizing to watch. But it’s important to note that this is 🧊. Not police. Not the national guard. The police, who are supposed to serve and protect, stand by and watch as 🧊 bodies this man.

Rochester is on his list. Maybe not very high up, but be assured that we’re there.

He was mostly scared. Tried to push the issue but shut his trap when I stood my ground. I worked retail for many years. Even a good job like Costco doesn’t pay enough to get yelled at like that.

(I was specifically thinking about the pink under eyeshadow that’s so popular now. Thinness also fits into the category, but becomes popular in recessions for a wider variety of reasons)
