Fascinating to see these in Williamsburg at haricot vert’s dreamworld today. #HeatedRivalry going mainstream.
When you were a kid, how often did you pretend to play in another time?
Is this not part of the imagination landscape?

@yospense.bsky.social was like, oh that movie is still bothering you?
Me: YES
Him: But it’s not real
Me: NOT WHAT MY BODY SAYS

Not sure that seeing media, TV, movies etc. that confirm just how badly everything is going is helping me right now.
Y’all don’t spiral from fictional stuff, just me?
A digital illustration of a cartoon character kicking a blue pig while holding up a sign. Above the sign reads "Remember", and within it reads: "Do not sign up to join a protest. Just show up!". A speech bubble leading to the character contains the words: "That's how all your info gets put on a list!!".
stop being silly in front of me

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that.
I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.
I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house.
I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

We saw #Ragtime over the holidays (with the illustrious Joshua Henry) and if y’all don’t give that man his Tony RIGHT NOW—
Having a man who loves gardening, particularly bonsai, work in paper was incredible character choice. The largely nonverbal daughter who has a chance at independence by playing cello? Excellent, heartbreaking.
#NoOtherChoice
I don’t think this is a spoiler, but AI being named explicitly as why fewer people would be needed at the paper place was a first for me in feature film. #NoOtherChoice
While #NoOtherChoice has me feeling like the below, it also has a lot to say about work culture, the environment, the pain and harm we cause ourselves and others.
Complex and probably not a film I will be watching again soon but one I will be thinking about for a while.
Obviously the irony of #NoOtherChoice is there is, inevitably, always some choice.
Ah yes, a normal thing all people want! This and maybe public showers, please. 🙏🏻

Hey, NYC! I'm doing a fun zine/poster event on 11/15 for @handsoffnyc.bsky.social with @bkindivisible.bsky.social and @anyonecomics.bsky.social and a bunch of awesome local comics creators!
Come fold zines and make posters and push back against ICE!

Wondering if this is how certain [terrible] people want “immigration” to look like in the future: infinite remote “slaves” being piloted by impoverished people elsewhere in the world.
Creepy.

RIGHT?? So good and SO out of print.
Anyways, hopefully @yospense.bsky.social will forgive me because I just bought the entire series on eBay 😬 So I’ll be having to get rid of something this weekend..
It seems the kids have found Nana (coming for you, V Westwood collab), but why aren’t you all as hype about #MARS?!
Y’all were missing out in the early 2000s.
People of #NYC: what provider has the most reception on the subway? Who are these ppl having full conversations on the phone?! 😩
I’ve had Verizon forever and it’s never been THAT good
Should we go to NYCC this weekend, Y/N? What would we be missing?

Some tiny part of me wishes she would be more political again given who she’s been surrounded by since dating Travis, but this solidified for me she’s not rocking that boat and gave me an ick.
