Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

It's almost Thanksgiving! Got an ICE member coming for dinner at your house? No you don't! Can't stop them because you're not the one hosting? No problem. You can shun them, mock them, shame them, cough in their food. They get the weird chair. No weird chair? Make a weird chair.
So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate
I’ve got an Etsy shop where I sell my 3D printed designs. My VHS bag charms and pronoun pins I’m quite proud of. 😁 jellycubeshop.etsy.com

@flophousepodcast.bsky.social Is there any chance that we chronic procrastinators who waited til the 11th hour could still buy a season pass for FlopTV season 2 before the Sat deadline? I'm seeing a "No future event times" message on the link 😬

“To Us” a toast to the resilient animation industry.
I was thinking about my friends, colleagues, and union kin, made this in a couple hours to show my appreciation to them. We are Hollywood. Hang in there.
I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash.
None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None.
But a LOT are caused by bigots.
It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.
TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.
Art is what helps us through every other fucking thing.
not Lynch's movie, I know, but god, what a sendoff
That guilt you feel about not being able to support every GoFundMe for folks who are suffering?
That’s actually rage at a corrupt system refusing to support its people - a rage carefully steered away from the system so you struggle with yourself & not with the institutions that deserve it

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
TAG ratification: Let’s be extra vigilant of the ever changing landscape. The next 3 years will be very telling. Money will forever be the thing driving everything so it’s important to always be thinking ahead. Now more than ever we need the hearts of poets and the endurance of boxers!
In 2024, several New Hampshire Democrats, afraid that anti-trans attacks would work, voted in favor of a trans surgery ban and bathroom bill.
They lost more seats than most other states. Now the R majority is ramping up targeting us.
Capitulation didn't work.
National Dems, take note.
I want to remind anyone who’s upset about the language of the MOA that our Negotiations team fought tooth and nail for what you see in front of you.
Please direct any anger you may have at the AMPTP. Negotiations are a two way street, and if they don’t budge, we can only do so much.
I've resigned myself to the fact that no matter what I do with the rest of my life, THIS is what I will be remembered for.

this def needs to come out. especially now
This is something I know from research most people don't understand--the estrogen I take every morning isn't any different than the estrogen countless cis women take every morning. It's not a radical field of medicine; it's a very common medicine being banned for trans people and trans people only.
