Today's sigil, a combination of Spare-type and rune work, was created in consultation with my good friend Brian.

This is ICEBreaker, protection from and curse against ICE.

Utilize as thou wilt.

Trying to start a daily sigil practice.

This. So much this.

When it comes to the Right, what I'm chiefly aware of is the harm they cause, the systems of oppression they maintain, and the lives they cost.

And your post reminds me of the J-Pop song at the end of the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack. That's not how I wanted to come back from my meditation session.

Weird Al is still kicking, but I'm not sure if They Might Be Giants is still relevant. Is The Lonely Island putting out new music? Currently, I'd say Ylvis and possibly Carter Vail. Oh, and The Newfangled Four who do comedy barbershop and just covered Carter Vail's "Dirt Man."

Physical place or digital place?

Ooooooh

You continue to be amazing

Did they really just admit they denied cancer treatment to a child?

This is much less polished than AOC tends to be these days, even "off the cuff," which makes me think it's not only entirely sincere, but that she's holding back significantly stronger vituperation.

A lot of people are asking, “What can we do to protect our parks from being destroyed by the Trump admin?” Let’s be honest, the next four years are going to be tough. Just like the first term, we anticipate a relentless assault on the environment-maybe even worse, now that lessons were learned. 1/4

I really think this entire thread is worth the time to read and absorb.

This whole thread...

This is the point at which I sympathetically and politely remind you all that science communication is a field of study. The failure of the “deficit model” of science is well researched.

If facts alone accomplished persuasion, no one would smoke and everyone would wear motorcycle helmets.

At least in conservation, there’s also something to be said for “facts are necessary but not sufficient”. They’ll only get you so far. My evidence for this: the overwhelming # of folks who I talk to who already know there’s a prob, agree it’s a prob and don’t know what to do about it

Good show, what what!

A lot of folks have been lamenting that now so many people are here and their accounts are growing they can't shitpost anymore and I say: No, friends, shitpost harder! Be the shitposter you want to see in the world! Lean the fuck in!! Protect the Bluesky vibe at all costs!
