If you’re 25 chapters into a book β€˜hanging on until it gets better’ is some silly dork advice. Nah, my darling, it’s just not for you. Set it aside and read what you enjoy. Dragging yourself through a book you don’t vibe with is silliness. Time for reading isn’t always plentiful! Read what you love!

An acrylic painting by Jim Musil depicting a sailboat at anchor with color hills and a towering squall in the distance. The lighting suggests sunrise. The brushwork is loose and choppy with lots of texture.

For the vast majority of above-ground public protests β€œdon’t bring your phone” is actually bad security advice. You are much more likely to need your phone to call for help or document police aggression than you are to be arrested later cuz your phone pinged a cell tower near the raging grannies

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

"GREAT SEX! DONT LET AIDS STOP IT." Newspaper heading with two men putting their clothes back on. The bottom says "Great Sex is healing sex!"

The side graphics detailing sexual activities have the following info alongside em: "Don't let him come in your ass Don't come in his."
"Don't come in his mouth. Don't let him come in yours." 
"Don't rim." It was at this point I lost it, this shit is so funny. 
"Jacking off is hot and safe." 
"Affection is our best protection."

As humorous as these slogans are, this was printed at the height of the AIDS epidemic that killed 39 million people and over 500,000 in the US during this time. It was easily spread through anal sex and was especially deadly and rapidly spread among gay men during the 80s. To put this in perspective, just over 7 million people have died to COVID since 2020.

There was an exhibition on campus that made me cry today. It was a showcase of 50 years worth of news clippings of Seattle Gay News. Left a QR code for visibility.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are πŸ“‰

It’s OK to buy games at launch.
It’s OK to buy games on sale.
It’s OK to play games via a subscription service.
It’s OK to borrow games from your friends.

It’s not OK to shame others for how they access gaming.

Financial situations are different for everyone. Be kind about it.
