Saw these screens on twitter and was inspired to draw a comic based on the theme 🤭

More people need to understand that saying only “criminals” should be subjected to expanding state violence around us is what led to the broader public being targeted by it, too. Criminality is subjective, and power determines what it is or is not.

Also:

-disallowed content will still be posted, only now people will tag it even less frequently, thus making it more likely we will see content we don’t want to see, not less.

-you gave us a block and mute function for a reason, how about letting us decide what we do and do not want to see?

And if you want to be cheekier:

-how do we show consent in a drawing? Does the artist need to consent? Do we need to ask the fictional characters if they consent?

-does this apply to mainstream media like Game of Thrones? Or does it only apply to independent, mostly queer artists and writers?

Highly recommend that people make some of the following points:

-non-consensual sex doesn’t always look non-consensual; reinforcing the narrative that it does is harmful

-survivors often relate to their trauma through fictional expression; silencing them is harmful

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

They have this button on the right hand column that in addition to public shaming, lets you shame them in other useful ways

Stephen Miller, a man no one elected, is behind the Venezuelan boat strikes which have killed 17 people.

He should not be making military decisions.

He should not be executing strikes that take lives.

Only silver lining? He has no immunity. He can (and should) be prosecuted for his crimes.

I love environmental storytelling in dystopian sci-fi games.

Look I try not to doomsay or spread panic but this shit is truly and deeply Very Bad for every single trans person in America and unless everyone makes it their mission in life over the next few days to make sure that their reps know that shutting down the government is the correct option here.

Putting queer people to higher scrutiny like this hurts queer people and queer people alone

the sacred text 😔

everyone is learning about their world from screens that specifically tell them whatever narrative they will find most validating and provide them with endless rationales to ignore or explain away any facts that complicate the validating narrative. this is why politics has gone insane

there are a lot of affluent (and not so affluent) liberals in this country who are very angry and don’t know how to properly direct that anger and Disney gave them a very easy target

something for the next big corp that wants to bend the knee to consider

“This is precisely the time when artists go to work.” — Toni Morrison

bro you look like you drop common items

The most controversial thing you can say on this website is that Politicians are supposed to earn our support

Screencaps from a MAKE SOME NOISE TikTok where Brendan Lee Mulligan as George R. R. Martin says "I don't know, have you ever tried to write? Its the saddest, hardest, worst thing in the world."

Me: I love writing. Exploring these made up characters and worlds fills me with endless joy. It comes with an ease only surpassed by breathing or the beating of my own heart.

Also Me:

really something to listen to dave chappelle snivel about being canceled for years and then watch him go play a saudi comedy festival

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log.

This tells me two things:

1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day.

Being shitty about/to unhoused people is such a hardline dealbreaker. It means you’re nakedly motivated by your disgust for a group of people in your community and not at all curious about the material conditions that got them there.
