I've been a member since the year they had bandanas as an incentive. My level has fluctuated over the years as my income and cost of living has fluctuated, but donating to worker- and artist-owned media is 100% worth it. The difference between $0 and $5 is infinitely greater than that of $5 and $50.

@alexschmidty.bsky.social covers EiEi Yoga today. It's a 1996 yoga instructional video for children with a deeply unsettling vibe. Naturally, we made it FREE! 1900hotdog.com/2026/04/lear...
It's MaxFun Drive time again! And this year is a special one because we just re-launched our original format, International Waters!
The feedback on returning to IW has been overwhelmingly positive, and if you're happy with the return to form, supporting us during the MFD ensures we can keep it up!
🙌
Reupping with alt-text, but also because I need y'all to join the MaxFun drive so I can get more USPIS in my life. Will the series protagonist develop more chemistry/sexual tension with his ostensible love interest than his own mother? I must know!
the MaxFun Drive starts TOMORROW! 🥳 and if you support “Secretly Incredibly Fascinating” you can help us reach these goals 👀
mamdani being a cheerful normal guy that people project absolute insane things on is one of the things that make him very relatable to me, personally
"The Pope is incorrect on matters of theology" is excommunication time.
H/t @jumulojimbus.bsky.social
I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

American Christians when they talk about the Pope

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.
Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate
Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.
Look at those valves sticking straight up. That’s a sign that this flugelhorn is in distress. It’s terrified. Sickening photo.
While dropping off his kids, federal agents detained an Afghan refugee who served alongside U.S. special forces. He died less than 24 hours later.
This is the 43rd death in ICE custody since Trump retook office. We need accountability and justice for all those who’ve died under their watch.

People are losing the spirit of the Ides of March. It's not about just stabbing. It's about coming together to stab in groups
