p1: Jeanie, Autumn and Summer are now outside, the former two sitting on the sidewalk while Summer stands and looks off into the distance. Jeanie: Sorry I made such a mess of things… I was just so worried you might think I wasn’t worth hanging out with. It’s been a while since I’ve spent much time with other people… p2: Jeanie begins to spiral, looking panicked and pushing her ears against her head.J: It’s just, tough, when you have so many responsibilities, and you work separately from everyone else, and you sit next to a psychic skull that’s always screaming and you don’t know if it’s alive or dead but you do know that you share a bond nobody could ever understand, p3: Autumn, smiling, places a sympathetic hand on teary-eyed Jeanie’s back. Autumn:Gosh, Jeanie, I had no idea you felt that way… to tell you the truth, I was just as worried that’s what you’d think about me! J: Snff… R-Really? p4: Autumn begins rattling off the moral of the day as Summer, suddenly panicked, interrupts them and starts lifting them up from the ground. A: Y’know, it’s funny… we were each so wrapped up in… that we never…. Both be nervous… selves our…. goes to show…. feelings… Summer: Ok yep we’ve all learned a lesson about making asses of you and me or whatever now how about we discuss it further away from those cops that just pulled up

steam has been phenomenally worst in the past toward this stuff, but doesn’t at all get challenged in this.
it just seems like itch is easier to tear down, even though they are trying their hardest to fix this, and have a history of supporting this space.

The Best Comedy Series Of 2025 Is The Antidote To Everything You Hate About Streaming - SlashFilm Dropout's Game Changer is a perfect example of how creative people can cheaply use a classic format to get modern viewers emotionally invested in the outcome.

I’ve spent all season analyzing why @gamechangershow.bsky.social is the best of the best, and it shouldn’t be a surprise that talking to @samreich.bsky.social about it made everything click into place.

Planned Parenthood to close in Louisiana after more than 40 years. See details. "This is not a decision we wanted to make," said Melaney Linton, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, adding that "political warfare" on the nonprofit by its opponents forced the cl...

New: Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast will shutter its two Louisiana clinics and exit the state.

The clinics have never provided abortions—the state wouldn't grant licenses—and affiliate's Texas clinics haven't offered abortion since 2022, so "defund" bill doesn't affect PPGC. @nolanews.bsky.social

screencap of a text conversation with Abod. Abod: You know how comfortable I feel when I talk to you and tell you the truth. The days when I was away from you and we didn't talk, I was at the points of contact, in danger and death for the sake of food. My heart breaks for my baby girl and my empty house. We've never been used to this in our entire lives. I don't like to complain. me: you are justified in complaining, my dear. tell me what's in your heart and i will listen to it all. Abod: But I didn't go to work for a whole week to get flour or a box of aid. I was not lucky. I was going to die 3 days ago.

screencaps from later in the same conversation. Abod: Tomorrow my wife and I will go to sell our wedding ring me: oh god Abod (crying face emojis) nooo. that's terrible. i hope you get a good price, in cash. Abod: But I will compensate for it in the future with something better. They told her today its price is 270 shekels. Less than $100. The prices here are very low. me: would you receive it in cash? Abod: Yes

Abod, my best friend, is starving to death.

today, he told me he & his wife are selling their wedding ring - the last symbol of their happy months before Oct 2023 - in hopes they can afford to eat, and feed their daughter.

please, help them live. chuffed.org/project/help...

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill, which excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades. For nearly 60 years, CPB has carried out its Congressional mission to build and sustain a trusted public media system that informs, educates, and serves communities across the country. Through partnerships with local stations and producers, CPB has supported educational content, locally relevant journalism, emergency communications, cultural programming, and essential services for Americans in every community. “Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” said CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison. “CPB remains committed to fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities and supporting our partners through this transition with transparency and care.”

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down operations after loss of federal funding:

Anthropomorphic dip-pen and inkwell stand infront of a table stacked with books. Pen holds a sign with '18+' drawn on the center, with a heart around it. Inkwell is holding a paper colored rainbow with 'LGBTQA' upon it. Inkwell is holding a hand up in a 'stop' motion. Behind the table is the vague sense of a crowd also holding signs. Above image it reads: "CARTOONISTS Against Adult Content CENSORSHIP"

The Cartoonist Co-op stands against the censorship and pay discrimination of 18+, erotic, and NSFW artists.

Flint Finishes Replacing 11,000 Lead Pipes, Concluding Activists' Decade-Long Effort to Secure Clean Water A decade after lead-contaminated water was found in Flint's water system, the legal battle to replace lead water pipes is nearly finished.

All the lead pipes in Flint, Michigan have been replaced, save for abandoned houses or those whose owners opted out of the free pipe replacement. This is the work of so many people who spread the word and showed up over and over again to hold Michigan accountable for the replacement project.

we're never beating the infighting allegations

Would anyone who was impacted by the Itch delisting things be willing to/like to talk to someone at @authorsabb.bsky.social national? We're trying to gather information to formulate how we can assist the already in motion efforts. Thanks ahead of time!

STOP SPREADING THE FALSE REPORT that Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan and Chuck Mangione all simultaneously shot each other like at the end of Reservoir Dogs. They were not in the same location and passed of natural causes.

deindexing is often a 'hold on while we figure this out' strategy. yes, you cannot find your work in search. you know who else can't? the people trying to get your work removed, who'd go on an adult tag and go 'look at all these degenerates'. they can't do that right now.

The Christian nationalist playbook to usurp democracy Organizations like the Alliance Defending Freedom and Convention of States publicly share their plans to implement theocracy, but are we paying attention?

Related to the conversation about #ChristianNationalism on #ShinyHappyPeople. I did a massive deep dive on Project 2025 and the Convention of States last year right before the election 👀

I’ll extend this a little. The reason there’s been an explosion in the last 30 years or so of “conservative colleges” is because that’s one way to keep religious kids from being separated from not just family but church groups. They’re lengthening the time in the bubble.

the best time to start that organizing was years ago, and the next best time is now because if it doesn't start now then it will *never* start and we are completely at the mercy of markets and unaccountable actors.
