My advice for emerging artists and pros alike: it’s time for in person events.

The industry and community is scattered and algorithms are currently siloing us off.

Go to cons, festivals, screenings + launches, and other art events.

While social media is still shifting, invest in face to face.

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

My 100th birthday... in prison? - This is abuse.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.

You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.

Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

The Deferred Resignation Program (DR allows eligible employees to resign while continuing to receive full pay and benefits through September 30, 2025.) Exempt employees The Secretary of the Treasury has determined that specific, critical filing season positions in Taxpayer Services, Information Technology and the Taxpayer Advocate Service are exempt from the Deferred Resignation Program until May 15, 2025. Exempt employees whose positions are deemed critical are required to remain working through at least May 15, 2025, even if they respond to the OPM email by the February 6 deadline. Employees in these positions who have already accepted the Deferred Resignation offer will be contacted with further instructions about when to return to work. For employees considering Deferred Resignation: Retain your OPM resignation email confirmation for your records Upon receiving confirmation, collaborate with your supervisor to ensure a smooth transition of your duties. This includes: -Providing status updates on ongoing projects -Sharing necessary information and resources with colleagues -Assisting in training or briefing team members who will assume your responsibilities. After completing the transition and as directed by your supervisor, arrange for the return of all government-issued equipment We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available. Should you have any questions about the DRP, please refer to OPM's website for information on the Fork in the Road email and Frequently Asked Questions.

New — Some “critical” IRS employees learned today they’re exempt from the deferred resignation program until May 15th, presumably because the administration remembered it’s tax season.

Too many Americans "did their own research"

this is a great start. and the energy of being a part of this helps offset that sense of doom and isolation. but just standing around outside and yelling putters out after a while.

at any case, glad it's started.

USAID source tells me, "This is so harmful, I can't even explain it." Says the human cost is "shocking", not to mention the "extraordinary" financial cost.

So the FBI could surveil & then assassinate a 21 year old Civil Rights leader in 1969, but is powerless to take any steps to stop--checks notes--a 19 year old who goes by the name Big Balls from defunding and defrauding a $6 Trillion economy? Do I have that right?
