My friend teaches high school and I asked him how his first week back at school is going… jfc
To all the teachers out there struggling through this mess right now: You’re appreciated!
Damn this blew up. No SoundCloud but get vaxxed, mask up, look out for each other, the GOP is a death cult, and one significant way you can fight their influence on schools is run for your local school board. Conservative groups are targeting school boards. Don’t let them win.
If you still need some new fun, stylish face masks, I’ve been designing them since the pandemic began and have helped raise over $500k for a pandemic relief charity. Adult + kid sizes with everything from movie monsters to glitch art, all on sale rn: robsheridan.threadless.com/accessories-ma…

When I posted my EAT THE RICH shirt on Instagram a while back, of course some Facebook dullards were like “how much do YOU make Rob??” or “didn’t you work for a rockstar??” People have no comprehension of how vastly asymmetrical the power is in this country. And that’s by design.
The design is to keep us tearing each other apart while the very few sit at the top pulling the strings and funneling more and more wealth and concentrating more and more power. And the more incomprehensible their wealth gets, the better this design works.
Exactly this. The “but Bernie Sanders stays in nice hotels” brigade. The “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” of America who still think going after billionaires is somehow an attack on their personal ambitions. Can’t eat the rich when we’re so busy eating each other.

Took the RV down the Oregon coast with @Steph_Sheridan_ for some much-needed time away, and we’re kicking off our first night in the woods the correct way.
Okay this will be the thread for our camping trip. Here is a very good boy who’s very excited about going to the beach today. Mute this thread if you do not want this very good boy interrupting your doomscrolling.
And this is why Momo loves the beach

I saw some news about Stephen Miller, and it's always framed like "his controversial opinions" or whatever, and you HAVE to think how different the world would be if the media had just always said "Stephen Miller is a deeply damaged virulent racist" any time it discussed him.
If we've learned anything in the past 5 years it's that LITERALLY ANYONE can be selected for a position of power. The job interview qualifications of being a McDonald's fry cook do not even apply to working in the White House.
So, when the media treats politicians with a baseline of respect just because they have jobs in politics, it does us so much harm. If you wouldn't trust a damaged virulent racist man babysitting your kids, WHY would you give that man the benefit of the doubt as a politician?

If the intent is to prevent morally compromise leaders from getting elected, maybe instead of having Presidents swear in on Bibles they should have to swear in on their tax returns and financial records?
A fucking five year old can pinky promise on a Bible that they won’t do things Jesus said were no-nos; but just like I lied to my Sunday School teachers, it turns out that swearing a book of fables is WAY less morally useful than revealing all of your tax & financial records.
I’m not mocking anyone’s faith but the whole “swear on the Bible that you’ll be a Good Boy” thing immediately conjures imagery of a kid in a Norman Rockwell painting crossing his fingers behind his back. It’s COMICALLY stupid, archaic, and meaningless ritual.

The public domain is something that has really radicalized me on copyright. I use a TON of public domain source materials in my work. Almost no one has ever recognized the sources, because I've transformed them so much. That's the whole spirit of the public domain.
The original intention of copyright is actually really cool and really smart. It gives the creator of an artistic work some time to exclusively profit from what they made, but it also encourages them to make new work by saying "okay, this thing has had its moment, move on."
And by releasing that work into the public, it not only encourages the creator to move on, it also gives millions of other creators the opportunity to build from that work. It's a really cool system, and unfortunately was damaged by corporate greed *cough* Disney *cough*

It’s SO HARD to get teens to understand the best practices for covid when their Dad’s regime never had a national strategy about the pandemic when he knew how serious it was! Ugh it’s like kids just do NOT understand what it’s like to let 220,000 people die! Right?? Lollrsk8z!
We’ve been really bad about this - the image rehabilitation of GWB has been particularly sickening to watch - but this time around we need to aggressively make sure none of the motherfuckers can ever show their murdering faces in public ever again.
It boils my blood to see the US Surgeon General being so cutesy online about how it’s hard to communicate covid rules to kids. MF it is LITERALLY YOUR JOB to communicate best health practices, and you stood around smelling your farts while your boss was like “masks r gay lol”
