"For students who sign up online to join Turning Point USA, the organization offers “activism kits” that include not only handbooks and posters but also buttons that read: “All guns matter,” “9mm beats 9-11,”...

Turning Point also offers students training to expose teachers and professors with “radical and anti-American agendas.”"

I got a performance review from one of the companies I work with today and they were so kind. I burst out crying at the salon reading all the nice things they said.

Sometimes my brain likes to tell me I’m sh*t and it’s hard not to listen to that. This helped. 💜

Residents attend bonfires,* organize community theater by candlelight, and join night walks to observe owls and the stars. “It’s the most fun time of the year,” says Carol Rogers. “It’s also the coziest. I feel my best during the dark weeks. I just know it’s healthier. I stop wearing my glasses. I go to bed earlier.”

I don't miss the days I'd have to drive three hours to change my Mom's clocks.

I was woken up today by a phone call letting me know that due purely to budgeting changes I’ve been let go from my full-time contracting position I just started in January after being laid off in September.

I am a former #Apple #engineer with 15 years of experience making apps for #iOS and #macOS. I also have experience with #Ruby. Available immediately for full time or contract work.

Please boost. #Swift #RubyOnRails

I decided to use my Substack paid tier to post whatever I didn't say in the public essays because I can't be asked to argue with click-by zombie sea lions being dramatic about it.

The follow-up to The Great Replacement piece is yelling about contemporary capitalists being just astonishingly bad at capitalism:

@UnicornRiot why am I not surprised ? Fascists Pigs doing their corporate master biddings.

@UnicornRiot thus, is exactly the problem of resisters who still engage in protest or counter-protest; NEVER assemble without multiple angle recording devices of your own, rolling at every moment.
You may as well run naked through a briar patch, than rely solely on pd bodycam footage and recordings.
This is what fascists do. They provocate & create the narratives. Just like 2020 BLM 'riots'.

@UnicornRiot police violence is state sponsored terrorism.

Atlanta city officials were reportedly about to release more evidence from the shooting but GBI compelled them not to, which Terán's family says now forces them to file a lawsuit, according to breaking reporting by
the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (owned by Cox, a major sponsor of the 'Cop City' project).

The scandal-prone Georgia Bureau of Investigation claims Terán shot first before being cut down w 13 bullets - but bodycam audio from APD cops within earshot indicates all shots were consistent w/ fire from rifles w suppressors carried by State Patrol.

West Virginia Republicans vote to keep child marriage legal.
The Associated Press noted that 86% of underage children who get married are girls, meaning that West Virginia's laws primarily allow adult men to marry girls who have barely entered high school and aren't old enough to vote.

Happy #Newstodon Friday! I'm sharing my latest for @TexasObserver. During Covid, millions of Texans benefited from ‘Pandemic Medicaid,’ now that program is about to end.

"Advocates are very, very concerned right now. Families aren't even going to know what's going on. They're just going to lose coverage and show up at a doctor or a health center, and be told ‘Oh, you're not on Medicaid anymore.’” -- Jana Eubank of the Texas Association of Community Health Centers

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) had a plan to shore up its balance sheet. Clearly, the plan didn't work.

In conclusion:

Published in 2020, my first 8 page comic was included in the video game themed anthology Get in the Game. Based on the Commodore 64 game Below the Root, it examines what can happen when death alters your reality.
