My painting of Tim Curry as Dr Frank N Furter in Rocky Horror Picture Show

Happy Birthday Mr Curry thank you for awakening my interest in beautiful evil men

They used a song I like in an ad for hot flash medicine.

A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.

just write it terrible for five minutes and see where it goes. or write questions to yourself into the draft—“what the fuck goes here, i don’t know, but it’s something about blah blah this will sound smarter later” is acceptable rough draft material

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

again, if you want competent people in government the salaries have to be broadly competitive, or even publicly spirited people are going to put themselves and their families first. paying badly is also a way to get only people with private incomes *or* who look to corruption.

This. I really dont know how to explain it to some of the folks who may have been too young to remember the Obama years but white folks absolutely lost their shit to the point where it was clear that their racism began to effect the normalcy of institutions.

Whatever peckerwood said "you get more conservative the older you get" was huffing paint. He was just a racist bitch that needed an excuse to be more racist. I'm old as hell and have been getting more radicalized every year.

Something really broke in the collective consciousness of white people when Obama won.

Policy wise he was pretty standard and went out of his way to appeal to white people.

But to white folks, symbolically, he was the anti-Christ.

They are, literally, wiping themselves out to prevent it again.

A black and white dog with black eyespots sits on a wooden kitchen floor and looks up appealingly at the person standing next to her (the photographer). The dog appears to have a little smile and the expression "I'm super cute, how about giving me some of those treats you're cutting up?"

POV: someone is cutting up treats for the dogsitter and you would like to remind them that you are a very very good girl

Actually, I’ve explained this MANY TIMES

This generation of Black ppl vote MORE than any generation since we got the right to vote

But after the 1st Black was elected, WHITE PPL began turning out in historic numbers to vote for Trump. As this graph CLEARLY shows…

The “crisis” is white people.

I heard this in an eczema ad

The signs of aging are everywhere but the clearest is songs I used to hear on the radio are playing in the background of commercials for prescription drugs.

🤣

Baby got to see part of a Capoeira performance and was clapping on the appropriate beats. 🙏🏾

squidward FOMO meme

me watching other democracies imprison their coup leaders, while we just hope ours won't get back into politics (because that worked so well last time)

Booker is like if a rendition of "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing," became sentient but only the easy first verse that everybody knows and then it just kind of trails off into a discordant mumble.

Honestly all they need to do is start dressing better

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

I really wish more people had paid attention when several observers tried to warn about the technofascist and eugenicist tendencies of thiel and karp and that group, for rolling up on two decades, now.

And i *Really* wish the media & political actors would take the threat of them seriously, today 😕

It has been made very clear in the second administration of Trump, white people of whatever political ideology aren't offended by grotesque violence, massive fraud and the sexual abuse of children.

They are offended they have to hear about it every day.

This comparison is so apt on so many levels I might need to write about it because YESSSS

I'm saying this with love: if there's a type of romance novel protagonist you're looking for, someone is definitely writing it. It might not be where you go to find your books. But the authors are out there writing working class people falling in love. I promise you.

Many, MANY ppl have BEEN saying that they're making the struggles they have with their own masculinity and insecurity the whole world's problem.

I can't have any white friend that doesn't see my color. And when that's happened, let's just say it didn't work out because they couldn't deal with something as fundamental to me as being Black. You can't have relationships with Black people as white unless you respect & get them as Black.

AI Company Known for Teen Suicides Launches New Feature to Turn Books Into Roleplaying Experiences After a litany of bad press, Character.AI announced a feature that's seemingly designed to stop children from reading books.

“Now the company has announced ‘c. ai Books,’ a bizarre feature designed to turn books into ‘choose your own adventure’ novels.”

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.

if Tim Curry had only blessed us with this speech it would have been enough, but he has given us so much more
