I love me some veggie burgers. But I’m really interested in one that’s bright green. There’s lots of good stuff in this thing, though.

@NearerAndFarther that’s the first thing that came to mind for me.

This is Maggie Bocanegra. She’s an electric drummer from Mexico. Her playing is fire and her setup is super cool.

This song in particular is unreal. I love it so much. I’ve searched and can’t find out what it is. I’ve even tried Shazam.

Does anyone know what this song is?

@e thank you! I follow her on Instagram and TikTok, I just can’t find the name of the song. I also didn’t know the style, so this is super helpful. I appreciate it.

In honor of Jewish American Heritage Month, here’s a list of children’s books about Jewish identity and history.

Previously when I’ve shared this a number of people DM me to say they didn’t know it existed. This really surprised me, so I share it every so often.

If you might need it, tuck it away. If you know others who might, make sure they know.

We can feel vulnerable talking with friends and family. The 988 folks are compassionate, and enable anonymity and care when it’s needed most.

@Tattooed_Mummy U.S. and Canada. I should have mentioned this. I thought I did. I’ll update it.

Making videos is super fun.

Title screen that reads ‘round two, fight!’ Then there’s a clip of my scoring a goal in Rocket League as a bully my way through a cluster of cars. Then there’s a slow motion replay that shows two cartoon wrestlers fighting over top of the car pile up. It finishes with kung-fu film credits.

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin has introduced a joint resolution to codify voting rights in America.

https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/senate-majority-whip-durbin-reintroduces-constitutional-amendment-to-codify-the-right-to-vote/

It’s one of the most important resolutions on the docket. Without our voting rights fascism is all but a sure thing. Voter suppression is rooted in racism.

@stux this news is just awful. It’s like fascism is literally everywhere.

The Arte Museum in Dubai has an interactive exhibition that brings sketches to life. Visitor’s drawings are fed into a machine that digitizes them and animates them in a room-sized digital safari. They also fill the room with the scent of wet soil to amplify the experience.

More:
https://dubai.artemuseum.com/LIVESKETCHBOOK

Scene 1 shows two walls with sketched animals walking around in a night time safari. In the middle of the room people are drawing on paper in dim lamp light. Scene 2 shows a close up of someone working on their drawing. Scene 3 is a close up of the animated safari on the walls, with a large whale swimming in the air and singing its song.

Toxic masculinity and fear of emasculation are primary drivers of misogyny and violence against women.

Even the most vigilant and conscious men fall victim to this, because society has wired us that way. But we can work together to change that.

Awareness is curative.

@kiffr this has nothing to do with sexuality. This is about gender and the societal oppression of women (biological or transgender). Also, I’m not making an assumption or a judgment. I’m sharing someone else’s sentiment which is based on the factual existence of gender biases. So I’m not really sure I understand your question or implication.

markwyner,
@markwyner@mas.to avatar

@kiffr nothing about the sentiment I shared or my own statement was intended to be an absolute. If it was received that way, it’s poor articulation on my part, and I’m sorry.

In general, and not as an absolute, men are learning how to live in a society where women are empowered and in places of power. Biological, transgender, and homosexual men can all be victims to misogyny and emasculation. Not all men are misogynistic. But all men can be.

Two anthropomorphic dice facing each other. One is small and one is large. The small one holds a cookie up to its mouth to take a bite.

This is “Ro Ro Wreck Your Bout.” For a few years I had the pleasure of being her soccer coach. She was one of the best players I’ve ever had on my teams.

She recently got into roller derby and invited me to see her bout. It was so awesome. She’s an absolute beast. A brutal jammer.

And this sport is a great confidence builder for girls. It’s a place where they can realize their power and personality. I’m a new fan.

Two squads of girls getting ready for the beginning of a jam on a colorful checkered rink. One team is wearing black kits and one is wearing white.

Someone asked me about my posting a photo of someone else’s child. Just wanted y’all to know that I asked permission from her and her parents. I wholly appreciate the inquiry because that’s important. But they’re good.

markwyner, to music
@markwyner@mas.to avatar

My favorite artist right now is Marnie Stern. She’s absolute fire. Kind of a more punk version of Liz Phair, with flavors of Blondie and Deerhoof.

Three months back she released a new single. I’m hoping for a new record this year. 🤞🏻

Also, Rolling Stone rightfully included her on their list of 250 greatest guitarists of all time. I concur.

Politico's right-wing tilt has always been clear, but its hit piece on pro-Palestine protest funding -- called out by Rolling Stone, which did actual reporting that Politico couldn't be bothered to do -- was surprisingly tendentious. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/politico-israel-palestine-protests-biden-gates-1235015478/

markwyner,
@markwyner@mas.to avatar

@dangillmor thanks for sharing this. I don’t often see much from them, probably because their biased stories don’t find their way to my circles.

Anyway, good on Rolling Stone for calling them out. Also, what a strange time we’re in when a music publication has to call out a supposed journalism publication for biased content.
