A lot of rotten people are seizing on the Gaiman allegations in order to score points against the groups and politics he publicly supported. Please do not let this trick your animal brain into thinking he isn't guilty. The publishing world has horror stories about this guy going back decades.

honestly hate that every time there's an industry bad actor, lists of "works by marginalized authors to support instead" start circulating like it's a moral obligation to be done out of guilt, & it's crickets every other day of the year. my art is not to be taken in as a reactionary measure

there’s a marching band going up Rue Mouffetard right now in support of the Popular Front and they’re currently playing Bella Ciao, this fucking rules

the thing about being a leftist and being always right is that there is actually no feeling of "i told you so" satisfaction because the things we're right about tend to be things like "ratfucking for joe biden in 2020 will give us trump in 2024" which sucks and everyone got mad at us for saying that

the people who supported forcing this mess on us in 2020 are very upset you think they're stupid & making fun of them

this is kinda it though: even if you take Gaiman’s side of the story as the whole truth (it probably is not!) it’s still very gross and upsetting

yeah, I’m not thrilled about that but also even his side of the story is really gross - you hire a young woman 40 years younger than you to be a nanny and you’re starting a sexual relationship with her hours later? not okay

A lot has happened in this past week, but don't forget that Neil Gorsuch and the rest of the conservatives said cities can criminalize needing a blanket in the cold.

The Supreme Court's cold ruling criminalizing homelessness: Justice Gorsuch's horrifying opinion in the Grants Pass case recalls an earlier heartless dissent. www.lawdork.com/p/supreme-co...

Corrected 4th of July graffiti in Venice Beach, California

particularly odd to see American chauvinism on display from people *this* Fourth Of July, like is it not obvious that this country is capital C Cooked?

evidently two street vendors got in a fight outside Versailles and one pulled a knife so they shut down the whole palace, evacuated it, and stormed it with armed police because they thought there was “terrorism” happening lmao

had the debate with June this morning whether French maoists would call it “Ver$$$ailles” or “V€€€rsaill€s”

Happy Fourth of JuLIE to Amerikkka the great SSatan

July 4th is very rough on my dog (he is a royalist and considers George Washington a traitor)

it’s funny that saying “you shouldn’t vote” is the red line for people re: the NYT and not half a decade of anti-trans reporting so bad it’s being cited by Republican lawmakers. funny! interesting! so curious!

also some bees from the garden because I love bees

i bet if all the people claiming to be allies but who are still voting labour just to "get the tories out" all voted for one of the parties not actively trying to genocide ppl they'd be able to turn around a lot more seats than they think

Versailles is so cool because it’s one of the few places you can go where you think “the people who live here should be guillotined” and leave happy

Germans on this website love to be like totally normal for months then out of nowhere post the most out of pocket racist shit you’ve ever seen and act like nothing’s changed

it is legitimately weird how often I see posts that don’t match up at all with my experience here and then I realize that: - I’ve been on here since last April - finding cool people in those early days required work - people really don’t want to do that work anymore

time and time again people are confused that the content they see is directly related to the people they follow and that they’re absolutely lost navigating the internet without an algorithm force feeding them lowest common denominator dreck

this is what I do with June’s other gf

Being annoying as praxis is only the first step. The second step is to gather likeminded neighbors and friends and ask each other how you can maximize your joint annoyingness. Congrats: this is called organizing, you’re building a base of your common man united on a common cause.

I think the most compelling thing is after reading Tom Holland’s In The Shadow Of The Sword years ago I thought to myself “well that was wildly orientalist and probably wrong” and this book is like “girl, TRUE”
