The og deck was such a revelation - queer friendly and so beautiful! Now it’s with foil & new illustrations!

I love the dual tone colors from Sailor Manyo! My personal fave is Fuji, which dries into this melted grape popsicle color!

Amplifying this again because what Yusra said here keeps ringing in my ear.

The state took no material actions to prevent this catastrophe. The mayor’s office took no actions. The mighty NPIC could not meet the moment with the nimbleness required.

It’s the people making a Herculean attempt.

So, You’ve Hit an Age Gate. What Now? EFF is against age gating and age verification mandates, and we hope we’ll win in getting existing ones overturned and new ones prevented. But mandates are already in effect, and every day many

Text over crumpled paper and a black and white image of old jewelry reading "This is a personal zine about asking for things and getting it. There's depictions of bruises and nudity here."

An image of a body in black and white with a visible nervous system in thin white lines with text over the top that reads, "I've died so many times trying to be understood. The slow drag of being disassembled into parts unknown and returning in pieces."

Hey I made a zine about asking for things you want and BDSM. My ass is also in it and bruises if you like looking at that too.

Nah

Speaking just for myself, by now I've had my fill of efforts to "understand" people who have stuck with Trump.

We know who they are.

There are more of us than of them.

Just have to make sure that diff keeps showing up in election results. (As it has in virtually all special elections so far.)

oh boy. damn. bargaining, personally.

I was talking with @wendyxu.bsky.social about the 1981 animated short "The Nine-Colored Deer," a loose retelling of the Deer King Jataka inspired by paintings in sixth-century caves at Dunhuang. It's a delight and everyone should have a look. The source material comes mainly from three caves:

he CARES about something other than vice and hedonism. He's a real punk!

why do people want to slice the politics off hozier, and only enjoy his romance? doesn't his politics, and his fierce care of them, the most attractive thing about him?? He's going to make the world a better place!!!!

the Irish language, a common technique of the conquerers.

why is it that language, that Hozier uses to write these songs, is so commonly suppressed as a method of cultural genocide? Japan did so with Korea, and colonizers did with Indigenous Americans.

and his own people's oppression, and the strange blessing of being able to explore the world & seeing all these markers of pain, and the "butchered" Anglofied spelling of Irish place names, and the inability of many to know the original because of the suppression of [..]

i feel like some of hozier's best songs are his political ones???? he goes OFF with those lyrics!!! the transitions!!!!!

in butchered tongue, the linking of childhood fancy of place names with indigenous roots, and realizing as an adult that those are places conquered, linked to his own heritage

I saw a tweet (?) saying Hozier's less popular songs are his more overtly political ones, and tbh, MAKES SENSE! The vast majority of the audience at his concerts are white women... oh dear. this is why i jokingly call myself his #1 fan

Hozier – Butchered Tongue In “Butchered Tongue”, Hozier tackles the 7th Circle of Hell Canto XII to XVII, known as the ‘Circle of Violence or Hell of the Violent and Bestial’ which is one of the lower

Until this song, I didn't realize that Irish rebels were historically scalped / pitch-capped, and it took me down a rabbit hole of reading about Irish oppression... damn....

Referenced: www.geograph.ie/photo/1384820, a photo of a field in Wexford, Ireland, fairly close to the sites of multiple battles in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. I'm not sure if a battle happened on this specific field, but there were definitely battles 20 minutes to either end of here.

Incidentally also reading "Say Nothing" by Patrick Radden Keefe, about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. There are so many commonalities among the experience of the oppressed -- so many echoes to the oppression of Koreans, for example.

I've been listening to a lot of Hozier recently, especially 'Butchered Tongue,' trying to gather strength in these times.
