to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

every β€œancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every β€œmodern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

It’s sad that the discussion around pornography is always framed as β€œit’s potentially harmful.” It’s also potentially healthy? What did you learn about yourself, your body, your gender, your preferences, your boundaries and your self expression through the smut you consume?

certainly there is always the question of money, making a living on a paltry freelance income. but it is so freeing to live the kind of life where one could simply wake up one day and decide to pursue the clowning arts

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

New York Times headline: "Is it Time to Stop Snubbing Your Right-Wing Family?"

Above the headline a photo of the vampires from Sinners, asking to be let in. The photo has been modified with a downward-facing word balloon to create the effect that the vampires are speaking the headline.

if there’s anything i know at this point in my life it’s that it is a gift to have trans people in your life, and it is a privilege many many cis people do not fucking deserve

β€œIndependence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

[whispers provocatively] the 1850 fugitive slave act is the model: reactionaries have the right to extend their authority across state lines, and their opponents have to actively assist them

A comic made with ink drawings and paper cut-out collage. Text reads:
"Tuesday June 24: It's a day to make terrible comics. In New York State, it's also a day to vote. My polling place is an interfaith chapel. If the light is right, and the day is kind, you can look through the stained glass in to a world worth hoping for. I feel tension in the joy my neighbors and community give me while we live in a state called EMPIRE. All I can do is trust in those beside me, as we look towards a better day, hoping to sow seeds that bloom."

The lack of algorithm on Bluesky tells me that we were fools to accept it elsewhere. We all now talk about how Musk uses it to suppress dissent on twitter, but he hardly invented it. Letting someone else set parameters for what you see is maybe the most poisonous thing that social media normalised.

Yes, this is yet another obvious violation of international law by the US Government. However despicable the regime in Iran, you cannot just attack another country. Bombing civilian nuclear facilities is also illegal under several nuclear treaties to which US is Party. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

Digital art piece if dark grey anthro wolf giving a middle finger. He has toothy smile, cool shades and white tee with rainbow and pink ”bottom” text. There is a red cloud looking speech bubble next to the wolf with white text ”better a faggot than a fascist”. The background of the whole image is light teal and there are some yellow stars on it.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

I’m not being hyperbolic . I’m just right

Ryan Coogler is the first huge Millennial director

He speaks to the long narrative/ pastiche / collage aspect of our aesthetics while building a truly DEEP bench of master artisans

By doing what he wants WELL

His numbers reflect that
