Look--I'd say right now is the perfect point in Pride Weekend to read my latest for @contingent-mag.bsky.social.
It's about gay sex in films, the myths we inherit but don't have to keep, and why there's never an acceptable line for selling out the community.
Go on--read it before you head out
Text announcing the oncoming AFSCME DC 33 city worker’s strike, which will begin on Tuesday July 1st following a breakdown in negotiations with the city. Support the strikers!
🚨 For the first time since 1986, Philly’s AFSCME DC 33 is going on strike. The union represents thousands of blue collar city workers (including street pavers and sanitation workers) and is the city’s largest—and lowest paid—municipal workers union. The strike will begin at 12:01am on July 1st. 🚨

The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.

David Lynch in character as Gordon from Twin Peaks: The Return, saying to David Duchovny's offscreen character Denise "And when you became Denise, I told all your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die."

Two large posters on off white paper with blue ink reading: NO TYRANTS! & NO KINGS! In large wood type font. There is a large image cut of a wooden printing press with a banner of text above it reading “THE TYRANTS FOE THE PEOPLES FRIEND”
I heard the NEA is only considering proposals related to 1776 & the USA’s 250th birthday & I was feeling intensely patriotic, so I’m printing these really big posters inspired *directly* by the Founding Fathers
The cut was carved from the masthead of a 19th century newspaper
"I get to do my best every day to support good jobs for people that really care about collecting, preserving, and providing access to the cultural record . . . in a context where I have job security as a federal employee and where I know the staff and teams I work with have that job security."
