Okay, fine.
"Sense8" is pretty good. Damned good.
@GeePawHill One of JMS's stranger pieces of writing. I thought it was really interesting. I am a Freema fan, though, so might be biased.

Opened the Wikipedia page for Trademark and found this under the Usage section.
![On social media, the trademark symbol has seen use in an ironic fashion, highlighting a concept as if it were important enough to warrant its own trademark, for example, "Official Bisexual Haircut™" or "soon™".[6][7] This is a non-standard usage of the symbol, which confers no special legal rights.](https://media.toot.lgbt/media_attachments/files/117/174/495/252/340/438/original/b6c9936f62847f25.png)

This is, quite possibly, the most entertaining interview i have ever encountered. You simply *must * read it. It keeps getting better with every question.

Australia Post, what the fuck?
https://auspost.com.au/owl-post-experience
Australia Post has changed its branding only a handful of times in its history as a government-owned corporation, which dates back to the founding of Australia in 1901. A few days ago, they changed their logo as an advertising stunt in support of the transphobic, racist author of a book/movie series about a wizard school. This is an awful move on multiple levels. It would have required the sign-off of several very senior people in Australia Post, and I think it's fair that every one of them gets fired. Fuck right off and get in the bin.
I dunno if it will get through to the right people, but I suggest you politely give them your opinion: https://helpandsupport.auspost.com.au/s/products-and-services

@NilaJones @GeePawHill So so SO much of the Bible is self-serving stories written down by some constituency when they were temporarily on top, followed by an inconsistent self-serving story written down by the people who replaced them, over and over. Priests vs prophets. Upper-class exiles vs lower-class nobodies left behind. Israel vs Judah. It's a bin full of beautiful but biased memoirs; nothing in it can be understood without asking "cui bono?"
@msbellows @NilaJones Yeah but?
Reading close, with the love us old fuckers know is real, there is worth there.
RIP to a real one, ive dodged her in the tiny narrow civic only to hear a pop behind me. She was fierce, and she will return

@dumpsterqueer @annika WE PEE PROTOCOL!!! THE PROTOCOL FLUIDS!
This woman is deadass correct. No qualifiers, full stop.
“Those individuals, particularly Jake Sullivan and a handful of others, actually had the power to save human lives. They actually had the power to stop unconditional arms assistance to Israel, right? The Israelis were not killing the Palestinians by themselves. The Israelis were killing the Palestinians with American bombs, with American jets, with American everything. We enabled it 100%. They enabled it 100%.”

Was full moon tonight.
@NilaJones And there is fucking *art* coming from all of this, well, not quite technically true.
When we ask how far we are from Canaan? We're talking about the Babylonian exile.
Here's a *brilliant* modern take of "how far am I from Canaan".
@NilaJones My first serious encounter with music of Christianity was "Jesus Christ Superstar", but right around then, a little after maybe, was "Godspell", and it has the most beautiful song.
"On The Willows"

A stunning illustrated celebration of the wilderness and the human role in nature not as conqueror but as silent witness https://t.co/HAACE8VNQe

in the last 5ish years i've seen a pivot from "Terrorism is the reason we need people with automatic rifles at airports and cameras everywhere spying on you" to "Terrorism is a word that means doing anything for political reasons other than voting. in a democracy, you vote. politics is voting. everything else, like protesting or direct action or even publishing the wrong thing, is Terrorism. you must only vote, that is all that is allowed"

@dsilverman Billy (he insisted) used to come into my Crown Books I worked at by the Galleria late at night when I was a teen - every Xmas - in his little white electric car (which blew me away with all the cool cars in their videos, why a tiny white electric?! lol), and he’d buy stacks of coffee table photography books. Nicest guy ever. Cool fucking jackets every time. My dad took me to my first concert - I think it was at the Summit - for Recycler tour. Epic.
