I believe people should be treated with kindness and respect. Economically and politically I lean quite far to the left. I am also decidedly queer.

Even on projects that don’t feature AI, it’s often difficult to justify how little voice actors get paid for work on projects that sell in the millions

So it’s fascinating to see folks say β€œthey were compensated fairly” repeatedly on this occasion where we don’t even have the voice actors credited.

picture of an orange Norwegian Forest cat.  He is loafing with his arms tucked under himself, has golden eyes, and is looking up just a tiny bit to the left of the camera.  He is laid on a bed with a grey, white, and black checkered blanket.

New month means new kofi goal! The cost of living in Canada for a disabled diabetic is tough. So with limited funds, I rely on others to help with food/meds/etc. cat tax included.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

We don't cast off one segment of society to save ourselves. It's a betrayal of everything we're trying to defend. It's a cowardly kind of self-preservation.

If your plan for escaping this bank robbery involves deliberately killing a few of our fellow hostages, maybe sit this chat out for a while?

Gavin Newsom on Prop 50, Trans Rights, and How Democrats Can Win | Political Breakdown

Finally watched the Gavin Newsom interview & fuck. The moment he’s asked why he agreed w/Charlie Kirk about banning trans ppl in sports, he immediately says β€œBecause I believe that” & doubles down then has the audacity to say no one has defended trans people more.

Everyone deserves the amount of tasty, nutritious food that they want for their body. Yes, that includes treats. No, their size has nothing to do with it. It's a basic bodily autonomy issue. No one should be too poor to eat the food they want.

Regardless of how you feel about the state of COVID, a mass public gathering like FanFest is a breeding ground for all sorts of illnesses. Masking up minimizes the spread of all sorts of contagions.

Y'know how people talk about con funk or con flu? yeah, masking will help with that. please mask up.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos.

It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry.

We can't count on the government to protect us. They're actively inciting violence against us. We must protect ourselves and each other.

Now, more than ever, is the time for trans people to get prepared for self defense, and for allies to step in and help out when shit like this happens.
