What a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for Nosferathree.

We need to look at every social media app and site with a keen eye. None are perfect-all are being used-you have GOT to understand how to identify bias and check information. And teach everyone around you.

Meta and X are perfecting their propaganda machine and the US govmt is funneling an uneducated, scared, isolated population directly into it.

I think we as a whole need to stop assuming social media platforms are just "bad money makers". Banning tiktok while Meta is not only removing fact checking, but allowing for discriminatory language, is not a "bad business choice". It's fuking insidious.

Trying to rephrase "I want to create weird shit that makes people uncomfortable and fucks with them a little bit" in a way that will land me a capital A Artist Grant.

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found. Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

A long read (I myself will have to do a couple more reads to get everything) but a good one. About a man infiltrating far-right militias in Utah.

Police exist for one reason & one reason only…

To serve & protect the rich ruling class who allow them to brutalize citizens without an ounce of legal recourse.

And the highest court in the land is fine with it.

The sooner centrists realize this, the sooner they’ll stop arguing with progressives.

The Simpsons "Don't Make Me Tap the Sign" bus driver meme where the bus driver is tapping a sign reading "The Simpsons didn't predict anything. It's just that the problems of working-class Americans haven't really changed since the '90s."

My car is covered—looks like a light dusting of snow.

Except it is not snow. It is ash.

This bitch went on about how he doesn't believe in "trigger warnings" or "safe spaces" and showed us a video of a 14yo CHILD SOLDIER to "prove his point" but when I asked him if he believed that child was healthy, he was all "well he's strong now!" Bullshit

I have 2 classes left before my associates. My english professor rapidly checked all of my 🚩 boxes. it's the only course available this semester. Thank god my classmates seem just as baffled by this man as I am, I just hope I can keep my big mouth shut this semester (I won't)

a lot of creatives fall into the habit of monetizing everything they do and there's something to be said for making your creations into cash but its so important to keep some of your creations just for yourself because when it becomes IMPERATIVE to perform you're on the road to burnout

Ppl who still consume & support harry potter content aren't allies. If I see someone with a hp sticker, sweater, T-shirt, I immediately know I can't trust them and they'll use me as a token friend. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I finally got myself a gouache set and have been practicing with it today. I think I finally got the water-to-paint ratio right

Any time I'm not attending school I get the itch to write. I think that's something I need to give more time and energy to.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

There's a lot of things that make ppl feel unable to leave those situations. But the bottom line is you often convince yourself you can fix or improve the relationship and that is "better" &/or "easier" than leaving: or that it's just how your life is meant to be.

Teaching budgeting and money management IS important but this is not how to do it. ESPECIALLY since so many kids are already aware of monetary stress and struggles affecting them & their family.

My hot take as a teacher is that I despise any classroom management system that uses "money" that students earn by following rules or doing classroom chores. I especially despise systems that require students to "pay" for their cubbies, art supplies, activities.

“Haha can you believe McDonalds is doing a Squid Game promo” easily yes because capital subsumes all critiques of itself and no popular TV show or piece of art will ever threaten or unsettle it
