And no VFX; they were really in the fire. When I say you felt this scene, here’s another reason why. Thank you Autumn Durald Arkapaw!

It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

No war with Iran.

Trump ran on β€œAmerica First,” promising to end regime change wars. Now he’s dragging us into another oneβ€”with no justification to the American people or Congress. While working people struggle at home, he escalates abroad. This war must end. This aggression must stop.

Book cover. Three triangles in corners have grass, a road, and a cityscape. Text on black background says: Abolition Ecclesiology: A Spatial Theology for a Church Against Prisons, Hannah Bowman

a football player carries the ball to the 49 yard line, then the 50 yard line. however, after taking another step forward, he finds to his astonishment that he is once again at the 49 yard line. but how can this be? this is the grand riddle of football

Absolutely Horrid to be there. A good reminder though that some names are only linked by Articles or Subscriptions.

Also, fuck ICE. Just to be straight. We hope good news is on the way.

me reading all you need is kill: I'm losing my mind? The great genius original work everyone is praising amounts to just "wow cool robot"?

the author of all you need is kill: so my entire thought process while writing was just, "wow! cool robot!"

This expert from God Emperor of Dune is (as is the vast majority of Dune) very poignant.

I love how the evil worm dictator has such a scathing analysis of liberalism while in himself being the most evil creature existence has ever known. The irony and nuance is powerful on multiple levels.

Reposting an article I wrote for thanksgiving last year. I’m better as a writer now, but the content is still invaluable.

collective liberation means solidarity with those most harmed

including: solidarity with victim-survivors

it does not matter if the perpetrator was your friend, your idol, a movement hero, someone who's essential to your work or anything else

tell every truth

+ center those harmed always

It happens a lot 'round here.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Just your periodic reminder that AI uses up a disproportionate amount of natural resources, so talking to the bot that you think is bad to show people who already think it’s bad that it’s bad is probably not what I’d consider a best practice.

Please note:
1) This number is legit.
2) It is run by trans and nonbinary folks.
3) They do not call police.

Please live.

My great grandfather burned many fires in his life. Like him I'm a Gardner. I cultivate plants outdoors. A bit of wisdom I've learned from my great grandpa was that ash is the best natural fertilizer to foster the healthiest plants possible. Nothing ever ends.

We are the people who run into the fire. I wouldn't wanna be anybody else, and there are no people I'd rather turn to ash with. This is the moment where we recognize our mortality. It's terrifying. it's here.

we recognize the inherent value and sanctity of justice, peace, and liberation, and so we decide that whether or not somebody thinks that cause is worthy of persecution, execution, or worse, we're gonna see that it's brought to fruition.
