There's nothing I love more than diving into the worlds of cyberpunk and the dark future. But honestly, it's getting a little uncomfortable how much our current world seems to be mirroring those fictional dystopias. I keep having these double-take moments, pondering if our fascination with these themes has somehow become a self-fulfilling prophecy. What's your take? 🤔 #DarkFuture #CyberpunkReality #SciFiFan #SpeculativeFiction #SocialCommentary
The Future You Live In | #SocialCommentary #ShortFilm | Produced by George Alshevskij-Jones
A short social commentary film created by George Alshevskij-Jones during his studies at the University of Plymouth in 2024. This is his view at the current state of the world, at what it was and is today.
Is This Anything?
Mankind has mastered interplanetary travel, and has colonies on most of the planets in our system.
However! The Rich can afford to travel in stasis, while The Poor have to travel normally. So on the other planets, there's a clear visual delineation between those in power and the help - grey hair and an aged face.

24 artworks by Banksy: Who Is The Visionary of Street Art?
I. Unmasking the Enigma: A Deep Dive into Banksy's Street Art Revolution In the dynamic world of street art, few names are as resonant or as enigmatic as Banksy. A spectral figure whose identity remains shrouded in mystery, Banksy is a paradox of fame and anonymity, a revolutionary whose works have transformed public spaces and challenged societal norms. His art, often laced with potent political commentary and sharp satire (see 14 Great Banksy Street Art Photos and Quotes!), has left […]https://streetartutopia.com/2025/05/14/24-artworks-by-banksy-who-is-the-visionary-of-street-art/
The Post That Broke Me
A thoughtless comment about Dominican identity became the catalyst for an unexpected journey into memory, heritage, and the stories we choose to forget. What began as a simple observation about how Dominicans often embrace their Spanish roots while minimizing African and Taíno influences sparked a firestorm of criticism that changed everything about my writing and my understanding of cultural identity.
The backlash was intense—being called a traitor, uneducated, and a “pick me” for daring to suggest we might need to reclaim parts of our heritage. But one comment struck deeper than the rest: “Dominicans don’t need to reclaim anything. We already know who we are.” This assertion, contradicted by the same voices that elevate Spanish heritage while remaining silent about other influences, revealed a profound disconnection that I couldn’t ignore. It forced me to ask: What happens when we forget who we are? What becomes of someone taught not to explore their lineage? And what occurs when that person begins to remember?
These questions transformed “The Ordinary Bruja” from a lighthearted comfort story into something more profound. Marisol’s journey became a reflection of generational amnesia—the way communities cling to what’s acceptable while abandoning what makes them whole. Hollowthorn Hill evolved from a simple setting to a place of ancestral memory, calling to Marisol even as she runs from it. Her magic stopped being merely aesthetic and became necessary, ancestral, and complicated. The story now explores returning to yourself even when everything around you says it’s better to forget. Join me next week as we delve into the mothers—those complicated, often inadequate, always human women who shaped this story and our understanding of identity. Have you ever had to unlearn something about your own heritage? I’d love to hear your story as we remember together.

My Google-fu is failing me. Probably because I'm having trouble concisely describing what I'm looking for. But since humans have better insight than computers:
I'm looking for a political cartoon. It involves two anthropomorphic animals of the same species. I don't remember which though. Not even sure if they're feline or canine or what. I'm pretty sure they're both female. They're sitting in a living room/parlor and one is saying to the other something along the lines of
"I don't know what [small prey animal] is talking about. I've never had any problems with [Mr. Predator]."
🎩 Ah, the riveting thesis that poverty is a magnet for perverts! 🤦♂️ Who knew a plank with nails was the real hero of the story? 🙄 In a twist of “socio-economic insight,” we discover that the wealthy only have champagne problems while the rest fend off creeps with medieval weaponry. 🍾🔨
