J.K. Rowling is actively and aggressively using her wealth to attack Amnesty International. Specifically, she is trying to bankrupt them because they criticized anti-trans organizations.
Let that sink in.
1. She’s not just anti-trans. She’s pro-violence against trans folks. Because, yes, anti-trans organizations invoke violence against trans folks.
2. She’s so committed to this that she's trying to bankrupt the largest human-rights organization on the planet.
That’s nazi behavior. She’s a nazi.

“When you repeatedly target communities already under surveillance and repression, eventually someone reacts. This is how it works now. They show up. They escalate. They lie. The state steps in. The police enforce it. The courts legitimize it.”
Fortunately this time, it didn’t work. But the fascists will keep trying. So be safe out there, friends.

I’d love some help translating some graffiti text in Polish if someone wants to help. If so, I’ll DM it since it may be offensive in some way.
It’s from a set of photos I took while giving a lecture in Krakow. I’d like to know what it means before I post it, just in case there’s a slur or some discrimination in it.

This is why billionaires should not exist. It is the epitome of capitalism at its worst.
Jack Dorsey’s (fascist tool) company Block laid off 4k people after his citing 2025 was a “strong year.”
“The fourth quarter of 2025 saw 24% year-over-year growth. Operating income saw a 17% margin. Year-over-year gross profit growth was 17%. Operating income was a 16% margin.”
Not *enough* growth, apparently.

For Black History Month I curated a list of Black folks in the arts who haven’t just given white folks fodder for cultural appropriation. They’ve moved the needle by inspiring change and creating friction.
These are people who have fueled resistance against systemic inequities. People who make many white folks uncomfortable.
Maybe some of their names are new to you. Please say hello.

Don’t watch if you’re sensitive to it. Do watch if you want to remove any doubt you might have that this was a cold-blooded murder.

I’m reading Roxane Gay’s “Bad Feminist.” She has some meaningful perspectives on privilege:
“We need to get to a place where we discuss privilege by way of observation and acknowledgement rather than accusation.”
This is powerful framing that might help privileged folks understand/accept their privilege, rather than be defensive about it. That the guilt/shame is something that stands in the way of progress.

ICE keeps taking kidnapping people I know, or that my family knows in Minneapolis. Today they took the father of my great niece’s boyfriend for no reason. The mom and two boys are afraid they’re next.
This couple has been together for over 30 years. Now she doesn’t know where her husband even is. Imagine that.

TIL a great phrase: “no pasarán!” One of the moderators on our team mentioned it as part of her 2026 well wishes to the mod team.
It basically means “they shall not pass” in reference to fascists. It had a rich etymological history, beginning in France and moving to Spain. Originating in opposition to Nazis and fascists.

We have SO much power in the boycott. But they fool us.

@nprofile…w75x I just read “Poetry Is Not a Luxury,” by Audre Lorde. For such an abbreviated essay, it is powerful and complex. I’m not even sure how to distill it.
But what you wrote here is reminiscent of Audre’s overarching sentiment in this essay. She cites how poetry is an essential tool for survival and empowerment. Most framed for women. But I think it applies to everyone, and art as a whole.

This is the Bakemono Zukushi Monster Scroll, circa est. 18th–19th century. The artist is unknown. It depicts the “yōkai” from Japanese folklore. Specifically shapeshifters known as “ bakemono” or “obake.” They’re also popular in mangas/anime.

Turns out tomato sex is the reason we have one of life’s greatest foods: the modern potato. They’re hybrids of tomatoes and a non-tuberous potato ancestor called Solanum Etuberosum.
Thank you, horny little tomatoes.

The Muslims are a Black and Brown queer punk band from Durham NC. Their latest record “Fuck These Fuckin Fascists” is rad.
The chorus of the title track:
Fuck these fuckin’ fascists
Fuck their family and friends
If they defend a fuckin’ fascist
They can fuck off ‘til they’re dead
Yeah. Good shit. It’s basically a record of antifascist anthems.
Get the record here:

Three good things? Yeah, okay. With so many horrifying things in the world, I’ll take a moment to enjoy the good stuff.
1. An evening of Irish whiskey, José González, and reducing my to-do list by ticking SO many of those boxes…lessgo!
2. Community, friends, and family who are really kind to me and lift my spirits.
3. Solving a massive configuration issue in one of my local development environments.

Y’all. For those who aren’t aware. Jeff Merkley, my Oregon senator, has been holding the Senate floor for 18 hours to protest the dictator (like Booker did).
Dude is 69 years old. He looks super tired, but he’s still going.
I never share YouTube links. I’m sorry for that. But in this case, it’s worth a click (in a private browser).
This is historical. Go, Jeff! ✊🏻

So…I found this interview with Muhammad Ali from 1972. He’s in Ireland for a bout. A famous journalist there, Cathal O’ Shannon, gets an hour of his time for TV.
It’s stellar. Including the way Cathal listens to him so intently. Ali’s stories moved me. As did Cathal’s captivation.
This clip about Black people’s lack of trust for white people is edifying.
Here’s the whole interview:

Here’s a great drone shot of Portland No Kings today. (That’s me in the very bottom/right corner.)
Portland is no NYC, SF, Chicago, etc. But we represent. About 50,000 of us marched almost 4 miles. There was love, good vibes, and friendly people. And of course, as always, it was weird.
Whose streets? Our streets.

Hey, Portland. Does anyone know the rank/roles for Portland police based on what they’re wearing? And if their authority changes depending on their uniform?
We have the yellow/black ones that are always on bikes, then the street ones with some wearing white shirts and others wearing the dark blue.
I’d like to know for safety. Also, I’ve looked online but can’t find any info. If I can get info I’ll write up an article and share for people.

Greta Thunberg and others were on a boat to deliver aid to Palestinians. No weapons, no aggression…just humanitarian aid.
Israel intercepted their boat *illegally* from international waters, where they have no jurisdiction. With automatic rifles and water canons.

VPNs aren’t all built the same. Many of you know this, and some of you don’t. For the latter, here’s a really informative report on a number of them. The “VPN Transparency Report 2025.”
The TLDR is on page 50, but I recommend at least skimming all of it. Especially if you want to use a VPN with integrity.
I use Mullvad, so I was happy to see it near the top in most sections.

Friends. Here’s some war ravaged Portland for you. These were taking downtown adjacent to the violent upheaval of our protest today.
The Canadian geese were especially troublesome.
Oh, also, someone almost tripped over Mill Ends Park. But they survived. Where was the military to burn it down? Savage little national park.

Dear, Mastodonians. I need your help.
For months I’ve been battling skunks. They’re burrowing beneath my studio.
I’m an animal friend so I won’t hurt them. My “battle” has comprised deterrents. I’ve tried what the internet told me: anti-skunk concoctions, motion-sensor lights, etc.
Has anyone waged this war and won?
I’d leave them alone if I could. But our dogs have already been sprayed once. And that’s my primary concern.

⚠️ IMPORTANT for domain owners ⚠️
ICANN will have a new policy on domain ownership effective August 21st.
If your domain registration includes a company name, the company owns the domain, not you. Even if you use your first/last name AND a company, the company reigns.
So if your domain is yours and no one else’s, make sure it’s properly registered to you: leave the company name empty.

Lacrosse is a colonial version of a Native American game called Dehoñtjihgwa’és.
The French condemned it as too violent and noted it fostered the indigenous religions they sought to eradicate. Lacrosse is a lighter, white people’s version.

Bloodywood is a band from New Delhi. They blend metal with traditional Indian folk instruments. It sounds hokey, but it’s done brilliantly.
This video for “Tadka” is badass. It’s a song about cooking, family, and respect for women/elders. It’s everything you wouldn’t expect from a metal song.
But it slays. If you love metal, get ready to move your body.
