Yep. From looking at a post in my feed to nothing on search (I redid with capitalization too, nothing).

My feed with a post sharing the Tribune article identifying the Minneapolis ICE murderer as Jonathan Ross.

The search page for "jonathan ross" showing the "latest" tab with nothing in the past day despite posts usually showing up immediately.

My teen went as Jay Garrick, Golden Age Flash, and I was pleased to help them craft the outfit, something I wasn't sure they'd want!

Highly recommend reading this whole thread and then my friend Cedric's new book Freedom Train!

Today's goals: finish my teen's Halloween and finish the reading for @garthgreenwell.bsky.social class, which I did in the end register for. Try not to think about the crushing realities of the world for long enough to do both.

Johnny Fucking Marr 🇵🇸

After learning that calls have been made for Kneecap to be censored during their Glastonbury set, I think it's important that I make my own position clear.

I've played Glastonbury many times and the festival has always had a political aspect. It was founded as a place of free expression and political activism and it's a fact that I agreed to play there with The Smiths in 1984 purely because to do so at the time was a political act.

We are living through very troubling times, but for anyone who's been interested in me or my music over the last 40 years, I feel like my political stance has always been very clear.

Oppression fears artistic expression. I respect all musicians who use their platform to speak out against injustice, who promote compassion and equality and give voice to the voiceless.

I stand with my audience and fellow musicians who call for an immediate end to the atrocities and a free Palestine.

My teen did stage crew for a younger grade's musical, and their classmate who was the stage manager brought everyone on the crew flowers from her garden. If I miss anything about this school, it will be the sweet kids I've known since they were kindergarteners.

Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush? I wanted to be either/both of these two, and read my copy of The Jungle Book so many times as a kid. Look well, o wolves!
