It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement.

The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.

Bumping this again. Still plenty of time to submit essays or art and please hit me up if you have any questions about what to submit

Join me for this virtual screening! Is for freeee! Just gotta RSVP with the link in my bio ;)

And Pritzker is giving land back??

Your attention:
CPB winds down January 2025
Your local NPR & PBS stations survive with your contributions.
If "Tiny Desk" and "Finding Your Roots" and "PBS Newshour" are important to you, They Need Your Money Now.
Don't be wringing your hands about what's lost when you have the chance to save it.

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Why are you in my mentions?

Summer in the Midwest= awful heat waves because of all the corn releasing moisture in the air (no, seriously) + high chance of severe storms because of climate change 🤪

It’s beautiful when it isn’t awful 🥹

You can't compete with me. I want you to win too.

✨I hope we all make it ✨

This is deeply concerning, and I sincerely hope @dropout.tv is paying attention.

As a fan and subscriber, I certainly am.

When a chorus of PoC voices rises up to tell you that someone is unsafe, that Saige Ryan is toxic to both this industry as a whole and dangerous to the safety and careers of PoC, you listen. And they are SPEAKING UP

I want to be clear that, after having worked with Saige Ryan closely for 4+ years on multiple projects, and as the prior DM of two shows on her channel, and as someone who called myself her friend for 7 years before I realized what she was capable of: I believe Surena, Omar, and B Dave

It’s been A Day, gf and I are two Manhattans in and thoroughly enjoying this thank youuuuu

K-pop Demon Hunters 🥹💖😍

Hey @dropout.tv: love your work, can you make sure POC TTRPG creators won't be affected by coming out about Carlos and/or Saige and that his influence will not affect their past, present, or future work at Dropout?

@bdavewalters.bsky.social's account is harrowing.

YouTube video by Jessie Gender How Fascism Erases Our History

NEW VIDEO – youtu.be/_vU5wwwkoB0

This one is about how fascism doesn’t just rewrite history—it erases it. The grief of what’s been lost. The people, the stories, the futures we’ll never get back because someone decided they didn’t belong in the record. This video is me trying to make sense of it.

Johns Hopkins Press will license its books to train AI models Authors at the Johns Hopkins University Press will be able to opt out of the AI licensing agreement until the end of August; if they do not, their work will be used to train AI models.

“Authors have until the end of August to opt out of the licensing agreement. If they do not, their work will be used to help train AI models.”

I got the internet a little treat to break up The Horrors

A reminder to any who think they aren't affected by any of these "porn bans" need to read up on history. Purges of purity like this led to the Comics Code Authority, and the demonization of Horror as a genre across all mediums. "Smut" to the fascist is a pretty wide net for anything they dislike.

We have not had free and fair elections in this country.

We didn’t abolish the poll tax until 1966. Every year after the passage of the Voting Rights Act involved Certain States trying to thread the racism needle in their election rules to get preclearance, and they had reasonable success at that.

I keep seeing people say things like, “Well we’re not going to HAVE elections,” and with all due respect, I think this is both wildly pessimistic and also wildly naive.

We are not going to have free and fair elections. We also have not had them in the past.

Apparently Nintendo and Epic Games are lobbying against the Stop Killing Games movement because they want Games to be licenses not property

So you KNOW the Stop Killing Games Movement is onto something
