Aesthetic: Ezra Wake (’The New World’, Black Sails fanfiction by @e-sebastian)

“He is slim, with dark eyes and hair. He has a nose that hooks a little. His face is strange in a way that James does not wish to examine. Not displeasing, just out of place.“ (https://archiveofourown.org/works/8254777)

This is my first fooray into trying to make graphics in, well, years – not sure whether I like it or not but, alas, here it is, a little Ezra Wake aesthetic (and a chance to use that shiny new tag for the fanfiction, #bsnw!). A little gift both for the writer of the story and for my fellow TNW enthusiasts 😉

The Associated Press defined ‘alt-right’ and the white supremacists are not going to like it

The AP’s standards blog just posted a piece about how to use the term ‘alt-right’ when writing articles. Considering the Associated Press provides the style guidelines for newspapers and magazines nationwide, this clarification is a big deal. Here’s the sweet and succinct “usage” section.

“Alt-right” (quotation marks, hyphen and lower case) may be used in quotes or modified as in the “self-described” or “so-called alt-right” in stories discussing what the movement says about itself.

Avoid using the term generically and without definition, however, because it is not well known and the term may exist primarily as a public-relations device to make its supporters’ actual beliefs less clear and more acceptable to a broader audience. In the past we have called such beliefs racist, neo-Nazi or white supremacist.

The Associated Press is ready to call a duck a duck and so should you.

gorgeous

The ACLU Couldn’t Keep Up With Everyone Trying To Donate After Trump Won

Yesterday: reblog ACLU’s press release/declaration of war/opening punch in the imminent constitutional bar fight, as a reminder that we are not helpless and there’s plenty of effective ways to push back. Watch slack-jawed as the post proceeds to rack up 10,000+ notes in a night.

Today: receive an even more dramatic reminder that not only are we not helpless, WE ARE LEGION AND WE’RE MAD AS HELL. Even the friggin’ ACLU drastically underestimated how eager the American public is to fight back against Trump, and they’re the ones who smashed a metaphorical wine bottle on their barstool and told him to say that again to their face.

Congresswoman Who Used To Receive Welfare Wants To Drug Test Rich People Who Get Tax Breaks

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) has had enough of the growing movement to drug test poor people who need government assistance. So on Tuesday, she’s introducing a bill that she says will make things fairer.

Her “Top 1% Accountability Act” would require anyone claiming itemized tax deductions of over $150,000 in a given year to submit a clean drug test. If a filer doesn’t submit a clean test within three months of filing, he won’t be able to take advantage of tax deductions like the mortgage interest deduction or health insurance tax breaks. Instead he would have to make use of the standard deduction.

Her office has calculated that the people impacted will be those who make at least $500,000 a year. “By drug testing those with itemized deductions over $150,000, this bill will level the playing field for drug testing people who are the recipients of social programs,” a memo on her bill notes.

Moore has a personal stake in the fight. “I am a former welfare recipient,” she explained. “I’ve used food stamps, I’ve received Aid for Families with Dependent Children, Medicaid, Head Start for my kids, Title XX daycare [subsidies]. I’m truly grateful for the social safety net.”

FUCKIN WRECK THEM
