Al Gore's renewable response to 9/11: "climate pledge tower" in NYC

Riotmuffin's guide to how to price your zines

First, consider your costs of printing/copying ▶️ I use the printer at my job, so that's $0.00

Second, consider how much your paper costs. ▶️ When I'm not using my job's plain copy paper, or finding other free paper, I get broken packages from a store that sells paper for approx $5 an inch. An inch is about 150 sheets, so that's $0.03 for each color cover sheet

Finally, consider your time spent on creating the zine and assembling copies. ▶️ For me, I enjoy both of these things, and also have another job, so the amount I need to charge to get by is $0.00

💸 This comes to a total of $0.03 per zine. However, since I like to get money to give to local mutual aid groups and also the occasional ice cream, I'm going to make these zines FREE OR PAY-WHAT-YOU-WANT, knowing that some people will give money and I will probably make more money this way and reach a wider audience than if I charged several dollars.

The Nobel committee out here doing the devil’s work. They've moved on from their specialty in awarding peace prizes to genociders, to now giving Hinton one in…physics?

So the news is gonna be "Nobel laureate" telling us that “super intelligent” text synthesis machines will render us extinct 🙄

This dude is now a "Nobel laureate."

"he said Gebru’s ideas “aren’t as existentially serious as the idea of these things getting more intelligent than us and taking over.”

uspol, Jewish community stuff 

End white picket fence Judaism. End the liberal lobbyist witch hunt and blacklisting of "bad Jews". Protect Jewish community workers being targeted for institutional purges for being against shelling cities to rubble. The white flight congregations and their donors are panicking. Pro-palestinian demonstrators need to show up for and platform Jewish educators and workers who have been targeted when demonstrating against institutions aligned with Zionist land-grabs. I'm so fucking frustrated with how the community is tearing itself apart because shitty rich donors threaten to pull out their money because of views primarily held by working class and minority Jews.

gotta get that pod. that meta pod

Imagine being an expat, having once been a patriot. Couldn't be me.

if i was a traveling salesman i would simply plan the optimal route which visits all of my clients. it would be easy for me.

Reminder: If someone uses the term “fintech” rather than “financial services”, check your wallet and keys.

trans, genitals, Boost please <3 

I think it's what it means that's the issue.

When a cis man's clothes indicate he has a penis, it means nothing.

When mine, a trans woman's, do - it's automatically angry, sexual, a Statement. Political. It needs to be some of those things. I have some say in how I sell it, but those are my options at the best of times. Deviant or defiant.

Yes, even to cis people who are allies and know I'm a woman. They may accept my reasons for having a dick, but I need reasons. And often Reasons. Even if they'll react with "you go, girl", I need to put out a message for them to react to. Be it meek or brave.

Cis men don't.

I don't mind being the Angry Trans. But I hate that I have to be some kind of consciously chosen kind of trans.

Making this one public so it's Boostable. Hope it reaches some sympathetic cises and makes them think. About something I have to have a take on. I need to be a historian, political scientist, biologist, activist, diplomat and PR rep to comfortably exist. Y'all don't.

If you're trans, it's already likely you'll Boost this (thanks!). If you're cis and fancy yourself an ally, I dare you to.

militarism 

It is really bonkers how much the modern world has normalized flagrant displays of militarism and no longer sees the omens approaching horrors.
