So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Nearing the end of the month, and I am proud of all of you who chose to stay in bed instead of doing Inktober.

When my world is feeling heavy or I’m feeling on the verge of overwhelm, my go to is to put something good out in the world. Hoping I can brighten someone else’s day in return brightens mine. Closest thing I can provide to a hug via the internet.

@amagire@mastodon.social elevated horror: what if you're grieving your loved one TOO MUCH? folk horror: what if a child's disability could EAT PEOPLE? supernatural horror: what if your childhood trauma could EAT PEOPLE? psychological horror: what if your adult trauma could EAT PEOPLE? body horror: what if your gender dysphoria could EAT PEOPLE? slasher horror: what if a random guy was trying to kill you, instead of a cop or your boyfriend?

this one doin numbers on mastodon but bsky doesn't let me have enough characters

Hi, it’s me, an author and librarian-in-progress, here to tell you, yes, YOU, that every form of reading is valid. Ebooks, audiobooks, physical books, graphic novels, romance, old pulp books, the back of the cereal box, whatever. If it gets narrative to your brain, that’s good.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

It’s October 3rd.

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law.

Not. One.

Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters.

Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

the political party that has been dehumanizing trans people, but minority groups broadly are now trying to argue that calling people nazis leads to violence on them. i wonder what they think dehumanizing entire groups of people leads to

We had a UBI pilot, a free college pilot (freeze on loan payments), and a universal healthcare pilot (continuous Medicaid enrollment). Democrats could have locked this all in.

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

Trump:

"When you have a network, and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump... They're not allowed to do that."

remember when comedy used to be completely legal but rightwingers started a full on assault on the entire US media apparatus to “legalize comedy”

I think we should be able to keep bears as pets. Also, I am a piece of shit.

Everyone: tragic..........

In America, you can say that homeless people should be killed by lethal injection without any serious consequences but not that Charlie Kirk was a bad person.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Here it is. Please share it widely. I didn't do this because I wanted to be safe, but because I am determined not to lose my freedoms without a fight.

I'm doing this for you, America. Long live the bill of rights and fuck Charlie Kirk.

trump must be super relieved no ones talking about how he was best friends and close associate with jeffrey epstein lol

New Gorillaz album announced

oh right, that's today

Genuinely I think Marvel and DC should not exist anymore, they are the two biggest chains holding American comics back. As long as they exist the forefront of this art form here is going to be rehashes of older stories overseen by people who haven't even heard the word "spine"

For those worried about Kirk's death increasing the right's call for violence, here's some other things that have caused them to call for violence:

- cheese logo changing
- male cheerleaders
- M&M character giving them a boner
- women

rightwing media ecosystem operates by stoking hatred and anger and divisions every single day, they want people to constantly be afraid and want people to hate eachother, everything we are seeing is a result of the destablization the right has profited off of

oh no they yelled at him in a restaurant? that sort of vile attack has only happened to everyone who has ever worked in a restaurant
