it really is shocking how much self deprecation is seen as a cultural requirement for 'serious art.' 'real' artists are not allowed to exalt their work and must present it publicly as a sort of 'i dont think this is very good but maybe you will get around to it.' HECK THAT. love yourself

Pixar is owned by Disney.

Disney. The movie studio that made Bambi (mother shot by hunters), Dumbo (mother locked up by torturing circus trainers), Lady and the Tramp (Jock hit by a car), Pinocchio (whale scene traumatized kids I was babysitting so badly we had to leave the rerelease).

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Chicago, IL

ICE abducted a US citizen when she came home from a trip to Turkey. Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi was born in Evanston, Illinois, and is being held in an ICE detention center.

ICE told her family they don’t know where she is. Her iPhone pings from within the ICE building. Protests are outside.

You can find lots of message boards about this. Parents bragging about finding “autism parasites” in the stool after treatment - it’s the dead lining of the kids’ intestines

Joe Rogan calls trans people "f**king perverts" & blames them for school shootings - LGBTQ Nation He's the world's most popular podcaster.

Remember how Joe Rogan was "just asking questions" about trans women and sports and didn't have a problem with trans people otherwise?

He's now a full on anti-trans genocidal fascist.

There is a reason you hold the line at sports.

Teen mothers were silenced in 1960s maternity homes. Could it happen again? Kate Schatz’s novel "Where the Girls Were" revisits an era of secrecy, shame and girls pressured to give up their babies.

More than 1.5 million girls were sent to maternity homes during the Baby Scoop era, where they were kept in seclusion, told they didn’t deserve to be mothers, and returned to their lives to pretend none of it happened.

This is the America the GOP wants to make great again.

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s ‘arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:

I love tattoos and I hate tattoo stigma and this goddamn Nazi tattoo dude in Maine is just the worst

And I want to be clear there are tons of charities and tattoo artists, laser aestheticians, and doctors who all do pro bono work for people trying to get rid of white supremacist tattoos. And every tattoo shop that isn’t a Nazi tattoo shop knows enough about this to help you find those resources

“I didn’t know”, “I didn’t speak the language”, “I was drunk”, & “it was peer pressure” are all inadequate excuses for a Nazi tattoo. The only valid excuses are “an abuser forced me and I’m trying to get rid of it” and “I used to believe terrible things. I was wrong and I’m trying to get rid of it”

(My cred? I’m a Jew w tattoos who worked in Europe on & off for 20 years. I’ve heard a lot of fucked up shit at tattoo shops and I’ve had old ladies scream Nazi shit at me in languages I don’t speak. One of them even helpfully pointed to the anti~Jewish Nazi poster art on the wall of her news kiosk)

Screenshot of my profile page with the ellipses on the top right and a blue dot on the top right corner of that

Ok if you want to make this fucking dot go away you have to enter this menu and then physically click Go Live even if you don’t currently intend to and never fucking intend to Go Live

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

I’m going to keep saying this - nobody gets a Nazi tattoo by accident because shops willing to do Nazi tattoos will chat with you enthusiastically about the Nazi tattoo and you’d be amazed how much Nazi shit can be communicated even when the people in the convo speak different languages

Platner’s former campaign team know something’s wrong - they all quit. They know he would lose in the general election. Janet Mills needs to make him lose in the primary instead. And she can, just by demanding his records. He won’t show them - he can’t. Confront him with that. 7/

This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Fooling people into thinking things prefaced with "BREAKING" are news feels like the equivalent of chatbots fooling people into thinking they're sentient just by using the pronoun "I".

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

You may not like it or even think it’s good, but holy shit THE BRIDE! Is certainly the most audacious movie I’ve seen in like 20 years.

It's real, the US has surpassed Russia in traffic fatalities.

did this happen after the primary on Tuesday??? lmao oh my god are other transphobe Dems just quitting because they got stomped so badly

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Everyone who took st least six years of Latin and/or Classical Greek is about to be deeply insufferable (hi, it’s me!)

We don’t really have yard crows although we see them moving through the neighborhood sometimes. Will this summon some is the question
