its crazy logging in here and seeing nothing about the fact that 25 students were arrested on the cal poly humboldt campus during a sweep at 3am last night that came after days of psychological warfare from administrators and police, many of which were called in from outside the county. we’re a very isolated and small population up here in the redwoods and our student population is extremely poor with a huge percentage of students that don’t have a permanent place to live, especially after last year when a ton of students were displaced from campus after an administrative decision to clear upperclassmen from campus to make way for incoming students that never came. bails are being set at $10,000 for the students and faculty that were arrested!!!! cops here have a history of brutality and the president of the university is a sniveling little man who calls his students criminals and refuses to meet with or address them directly

Neurodivergent person whose neurodivergence primarily expresses itself as X:

Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.

Link will be in the reblog!

My friend Mona has asked me to share her story with you all.

Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.

Ghazzans are not your property to sacrifice. Ghazzans are not yours to decide the fate of. Ghazzans are not going to die for your luxury. Ghazzans are not going to die for you. Ghazzans have the right to live like everyone else. Ghazzans have the right to a peaceful life like everyone else. Keep fighting for Ghazzah. Keep fighting for our loved ones.

maybe it's just because i spend my time scrounging around libraries and itch.io and such but i'm often bewildered whenever people talk about everything becoming the same or death of art or everyone being afraid to Get Weird with It. i promise people are still out there getting weird with it. the hegemonic mainstream art remains hegemonic and mainstream like usual. counterculture remains counterculture. as usual. interesting and somewhat off-putting zines cost a little more but the cost of living is pretty high right now, and i don't particularly mind giving an independent artist a few more bucks for their work
