"I don't care if this is outside decorum. People are dying on our streets every single day in this country because we allow this federal government to walk all over you."

An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

UNBEATABLE - an incredibly addictive rhythm game wrapped in iconic visuals, a fantastic soundtrack, crisp snappy writing, & an emotionally devastating narrative that left me bawling by the end. why make art even when the world crushes us? i hope you play it and answer that for yourself too

Hey, instead of using ableist slurs to make fun of Right Wing politicians, try just saying "I don't like them." Insert the name of a politician of your choice. The Right will still get bent out of shape about it and you won't be guilty of ableism.

Twenty million Americans have a completely new chronic illness from a pandemic our government said was over in mid 2022, before the two highest waves even happened. And now they are ending the subsidies that allowed millions to afford healthcare. The rage I feel could birth a new galaxy.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Understand he’s mad cause he has his new prescription drug company so he doesn’t want people to not have to use his weird shit.

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

I'm Michael Hobbes, yes, that Michael Hobbes from If Books Could Kill. I help run our little corner of chaos where 69,000 readers, writers, and mildly obsessive book nerds gather to talk about the stories that shape (and sometimes ruin) our brains. I picked up your book reminding us that and honestly.. I didn't stand a chance. The humanity, the humility, the sheer scope of what you do, it's staggering. You somehow make your topic feel both epic and intimate, conclusion of book We don't reach out to every author, mostly because l'm lazy, but your writing grabbed me by the collar. We'd love to feature you in our next author section, where our readers and listeners connect directly with the storytellers and thinkers who make us rethink what "impact" really means. Would you be interested if we chose your book for our next section? Thanks for making my week with your work. I promise this isn't one of those "team emails", it's really just me, geeking out in your inbox.

Scam alert: Someone is pretending to be me and reaching out to authors. The pitch contains enough specific details that it sounds plausible at first.

This is not me! I'm so sorry to anyone who has fallen for this.

Someone comments: I don't appreciate the poisoning of the well with the frankly unnecessary information on Boyne's anti-transgender views as it in no way contributes to what he thinks about the book, what the book is being said it conveys, and what the book actually conveys. But the video is not a bad take otherwise. I respond: I mean it's a minute of the video and seems very relevant? I'm not the one who claimed that trans stuff was at the heart of people's criticisms, he is. So wouldn't that make him the well poisoner or whatever?

The weird thing about transphobia, and probably about bigotry in general, is the pretty common intuition that the person bringing it up is always the one “making a show of it.” Boyne literally thinks the criticism of his book is ideologically motivated, yet I’M ideologically motivated for saying it

Bright pink arabic writing spelling "in the name of revolution" infront of a mintgreen background. The dots on the letters are pink poppy anemones. The quote is framed by Palestinian embroidery of grape vines and birds.

"In the name of revolution"

During the 2nd Intif@da this was a popular slogan to embroider on thobes as a form of resist@nce.

Seeing an Asian woman get called out because her name is "just a weeb name" that "doesn't even mean anything in a real language" by a bunch of white people despite the fact that I see white people on here doing that daily is exactly why so many Asian Americans hate weebs.

"art is inaccessible/artists are gatekeepers" is the biggest self report in the world that whoever is saying it is, at best, buying in to incredibly tedious learned helplessness or, more likely, is just a huge fucking loser.

My new years resolution is to document media I consume and actually micro blog about it instead of just saying "hey I read this thing"
