Picture of a burning hillside where a warehouse used to be A California distribution warehouse for the consumer products of giant Kimberly-Clark burned to the ground on Tuesday and an employee has been taken into custody under suspicion of arson. The sixth alarm fire required 175 firefighters to contain. A video circulating online, reportedly taken by the agreed worker shows them setting fire to several pallets of toilet paper while calmly repeating "all you had to do was pay us enough to live."
"All you had to do was pay us enough to live"
Forces of capitalism, these are the Canaries in your coal mine.
Pay attention to them.
Might be important.
Just might be.

This post is still live on X.
Screenshot of an article quote, "My big question for him was why are all superheroes orphans. You know, Spider-Man, Superman, Harry Potter… they’re all orphans! And he sat and thought about it, he’s like, ‘I don’t know!’ ‘Well why did you make Peter Parker an orphan?’ And he said, ‘I didn’t think about it much. I just wanted to get him out of the house!’
OH MY GOD IT WAS STAN LEE
so, I kept waiting for a "quiet" day to post about it, but considering *everything* I'm realizing that day isn't coming so I might as well just start talking
Some friends and I, including @slothysunday.bsky.social and @valkwise.bsky.social, are making a game.

BREAKING: Trump regime bans green-card holders from getting Small Business Administration loans. Any small biz even partly owned by a green card holder is no longer eligible for SBA loans.
Half of Fortune 500 companies were started by immigrants or their children. This will destroy the US economy.
😒 I would like to point out it hasn’t even been a full year since I quit MCPG and including me, they have lost (or as of recent laid off) five editors of color. 😑
Simple watercolour painting of a black cat yelling about something clearly very important
What's he saying?
For eternity I will think about the fact that Michael B. Jordan had to impeccably play TWO people to finally win an Oscar. Truly the analogy for the struggle of Black talent. Always doing two times the work to be given crumbs until the establishment is pressured enough to give us what we deserve. 😒
I love with my new Fellow carter! This will surely decrease my unnecessary cafe coffee purchases. I had to pay homage to my beloved Haikyuu!! series with the engraved [ 飛べ ] slogan ☺️

If you were truly surprised by Square Enix making this "huge shift" to GenAI, remember that their president wanted to go full ham on NFTs previously as well, and this GenAI addition is not a surprise at all and has been coming for months.

Onion, my white cat with homophobia, yawning into a mirror and staring directly at me . He is truly a creature
Yall please appreciate the best picture I’ve ever taken of Onion my sonion
People get really lazy in their treatment of Octavia Butler's work. The point wasn't for everyone to crown her some seer and wish she was still here to tell us what's coming next. She gave the instructions in her writing because she followed patterns and history. We can all do that.
Don’t you talk to me or my daughters 💁🏾♀️
I’m eternally grateful for @dezinpub.bsky.social and @abuckslater.bsky.social for the initial acquisition ♥️ So happy to be working with @01firstsecond.bsky.social again, as well as Ari and Clare ⚓️
Kiara Valdez while at First Second has acquired, in an exclusive submission, The Sea-Ice Sings by Anna Meyer (Saint Catherine), a coming-of-age YA historical fantasy about a polar maritime crew on the hunt for an arctic cryptid. Ari Yarwood will edit; publication is planned for fall 2028. Alexander Slater while at Sanford J. Greenburger Associates sold North American rights, now moving to Clare Mao.
Here she is! The PW announcement is live so I’m happy to share my sophomore graphic novel!
I love this story so much and I can’t wait to share it. It’s about my love of polar travel but I’m also exploring superstition, work culture, truth and memory.

Top of the mother fucking pack with a gold star is boom - I’ve been $700 up to $1k. Could have knocked me over with a feather. Couldn’t believe it. Hell yeah.
"live action of [insert animation] in the works--" please just fund animation instead of treating live action as the final pokemon evolution of a story
AMC’s ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ popcorn bucket is shaped like a purse.
💃🏿Anywho! ✨There is only a week left to the BOOM! Hellraiser Kickstarter campaign my team and I have worked tirelessly on. Don’t miss it!

Thank you, Jaws! There was a lot of bad but even more good! So I hope to regain my strength to eventually return 💜💜✨
Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.
We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.
