18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

Why would anyone, even white europeans who you would presume these motherfuckers don't want to harass, ever want to come here as a tourist ever again? The risk isn't worth it.

Books mentioning slavery, civil rights removed from shelves at Fort Campbell schools - ClarksvilleNow.com At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

My youngest read quite a few of those. I was just happy he was reading. I struggled massively with reading as a kid, so anything was better than nothing. He's an adult now and still reads for enjoyment, I call that a win.

I started doing that with the Home for the Holidays event because I had a mod related issue with the Halloween one. It's actually a really solid suggestion. ❤️

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

On this 1st day of #BlackHistoryMonth, let’s honor & remember all Black service members, from the Harlem Hellfighters of WWI, to the Tuskegee Airmen & the "6888th women" of WWII, & all those who fought and served before and after them.

Patriotic Federal workers, please try to keep your jobs. Take up a spot that might go to a MAGA. Follow WW2-era CIA advice and use your bureaucratic superpowers to sabotage evildoers. Be maliciously compliant.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Love it! Thank you for posting the full piece ❤️

I just realized how tense I have felt since I woke up.

So this is your reminder to relax your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and take some deep breaths.

Take care of yourself. Put your own mask on before assisting another passenger.

I've been using ten blue links to scrub my general net searches and then just using that to dig up reference pics. I used to love Pinterest, but I agree it's about useless now outside of things I pinned previously.

Glad to hear he's ok ❤️

I am a fan of SW, LoTR and anime (not what you were requesting, I'm sure). Try following "Trending: Art" it adds another category to your top bar with discovery and following. I've found some new artists and some old favorites. ❤️ Good luck 😁

My favorite of the X-Men ❤️

I have deleted the bird app and will slowly be transitioning away from the camera app and FB. For now I keep them because they are the only connection I have with some older family members but my interaction will mainly be the messenger feature.
