To be clear: this podcast has a stringent "killing civilians is bad" stance. Did you kill civilians? You're the bad guy! So is the other guy! Sometimes two sides are both run by assholes!

Q Up The Movie Q Up The Movie takes the entire history of cinema and television and reimagines it with pride! These are the movies you've always wanted to see, the alternative timeline that puts the focus on YOU! ...

Thank you @allkins.bsky.social for coming up with the idea for the new channel name. (Okay, we changed one word... but without you, we wouldn't have a title!).

Our new digs are here if you'd like to subscribe: www.youtube.com/@QUpTheMovie

First episode will premiere on March 10th!

Maureen N. McLane · Poem: ‘From ‘Daybook’’

a double
heavy tread when mornings
bring an aversion to morning
or to returning to ‘thought’
or is it ‘affect’ where’s the brio
of Catullus the serenity
of Horace the ferocity
of Baraka the electricity
of Plath

From ‘Daybook’, a poem by Maureen N. McLane.

Also I love drama and petty bullshit

The Riyadh Comedy Festival is old news especially with the US attacking Iran but also this is the US doing dirty work for other shit countries so no one looks good. Gee, just like everyone who did that comedy festival

The one thing that spiritually kills you as an American is nothing ever resolves. No lessons are ever learned. Mistakes are never corrected. We just stay strapped on this insane and out of control karmic wheel, watching our history of violence, cruelty and stupidity loop around and around.

people need to stop saying we’re “beginning” to enter a fascist state or we’re “heading toward” genocide

some states are at stage 8—persecution—of trans people, i.e. destruction, via removing trans people from public life www.genocidewatch.com/tenstages

this requires declaring genocide emergency

Comedians who did the Riyadh festival: get us on your podcast! It will be awful but you might get back some street cred!

What a Revolution, huh?

Lemon, it's February

smiling Liz Lemon from 30 Rock with caption: "In a country ruled by an autocracy, with a completely enslaved press, in a period of desperate political reaction in which even the tiniest outgrowth of political discontent and protest is persecuted, the theory of revolutionary Marxism suddenly forced its way into the censored literature before the government realised what had happened"

'My Wife's Lovers', 1893 painting by Carl Kahler (1856–1906).

a young person in and their parent, faces cropped out, stand in front of a marble rail, holding a handmade poster: DON’T TREAD ON ME with a riff on the Gadsen flag snake against the pastel blue/pink/white stripes of the trans pride flag. the young person has on a LOVE MORE (rainbow heart) tee; their patent is in a LOVE IS LOVE tee.

thinking of this young person I met nearly five years ago at the Texas state Capitol—when activists defeated a raft of anti-trans laws introduced that year—and this sign they made:

Hi! Here’s my painting of an alpine meadow titled “Symbiosis”

Crafted after observing a favorite meadow in the MHNF in OR. for a couple of seasons.

Most of my pieces are a well researched labor of love. Because of AuDHD, I have to be REALLY compelled to follow through!

A Surprisingly Enjoyable Show About Critical Theory An exhibition about the influence of French critical theory on American art finds inspiration in diasporic thinkers like Frantz Fanon and Aimé Césaire.

For an art show grounded in the abstract world of critical theory, “Echo Delay Reverb” is remarkably inviting. Though it includes blockbuster works, the real revelations come from some of the less widely known artists and Caribbean thinkers.

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.

They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

The one where I lose my marbles

I don't even have a dog in this fight but goddamn I feel like I'm losing my marbles seeing people repeat that Mahdi means a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad rather than synecdoche for different Islamic messianic movements. And it's Trek fans saying it! Get better!

I devoted an entire podcast episode to this fact which became me having a low-key panic attack as I realized how narrow the scope of my own worldview had been regarding how messianic movements in Islam play into regional politics

Gonna start an account titled "I suggest abortion." You'll never guess what I will be suggesting there

Shit's bad but thankfully we live in a time with so many tasty vegetables and ways to make the vegetables more tasty

please be the annoying person calling your reps so I can be the annoying person making weird art online

I guess not if you're into that sort of thing, I'm not here to judge

"Well, whether or not the soul is physically real, Bart, it's the symbol of everything fine inside us."

And

"But you know Bart, some philosophers believe that nobody is born with a soul--that you have to earn one through suffering and thought and prayer."

Queer Classics! Better than a boot to the head!
