Get offline for a day. Create something.

I'm serious.

You cannot endure our current reality in ANY timeline if you are constantly scraping your raw nerves across the jagged edges of the evil that people do. You need tangible, embodied reminders that we endure through hope and love, not despair.

I miss the old days when we would all agree that a drunken former Fox News host should not be allowed to unilaterally bomb boats in international waters.

I miss the days when folks would agree that without proof, that is a war crime.

4 more boats bombed today. More than 50 people dead.

“A screenshot of a webpage from fns.usda.gov showing a warning message in a brown box. The message claims Senate Democrats voted 12 times not to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), states there will be no benefits issued November 1, and accuses them of holding out for healthcare for illegal immigrants and gender-related procedures. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service logo appears at the bottom, along with a blue ‘Menu’ button.”

The official USDA site is blaming trans people for SNAP benefits expiring.

I just want to understand, genuinely, /why/ I get that feeling, especially when I also understand that it’s illogical and a waste of energy.

I don’t engage publicly in fandom fighting anymore, and when I do talk abt it it’s in a VC with 2-3 other people who will swiftly tell me if I’m being a twat about it.

to be clear, this isn’t about a specific one or anything I saw recently, I just think about how my brain works a lot (specifically the negative brain gremlins) so I can be a better person in the long run

Is there a psychological reason why I get illogically annoyed seeing a headcanon I don’t agree with or is this just going to end up being some deep-rooted issue implanted in my childhood that i need to go back to therapy to explore?

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

I hope fandoms know that when they’re mad at a review for rating a contentious entry too highly, they’re partly responsible.

When you’ve spent years getting mad over less than perfect scores, you help condition the attitude that certain series inherently deserve high baselines.

You wanted this.

He’s been refined a bit <3

I’m going to spoil the first part for you because you’ll see it and go “oh; it’s that they’re using AI images.”

No, no that is not what the major concern is. It is *A* concern, but it’s not even the worst part. Not even close.

All these discord updates and I still can’t have my silly join sounds on mobile 🙂‍↕️

As I slowly but surely make my way through TADC cast streams, I get more and more convinced that @alexrochonva.bsky.social was the only correct choice for EN Caine. The whole cast is perfect but his Caine is just perfection.

Sums it up nicely. Every time I see some "proship dni" in someone's bio I sigh heavily because most the time it doesn't mean anything at all.

Michigan Republican pushing pornography ban linked to porn site, records show - Detroit Metro Times A Republican state lawmaker leading a campaign to ban pornography in Michigan appears to have had an account on a pornographic hook-up website that promised users they could “find sex” and “get laid t...

Rep. Josh Schriver, the Republican currently pushing to ban porn in Michigan, used his email to register for account on the adult site Fling, the “world’s best casual personals for adult dating, sex, and swingers.”

Mr. "The Mouth and Anus Are Not Sex Organs" may have some explaining to do.

So an anime girl with prosthetics was labeled "explicit sexual content", & then we learn that prosthetics are commonly labeled this way, & then we learn that automod has been outsourced to this ai company, & THEN we learn that the ai company might be using all our images to train ai & mods go silent

I genuinely think Vie might be in my top albums of the year alongside Man’s Best Friend.

Thank you 🥹 It helps a lot knowing I can bounce off of the people around me, I think that reassurance and getting a view of myself from someone else is going to help me a lot.

I just have a very clear idea of what I want to look like when I feel masc and I worry I’ll never be able to achieve anything close

I already produce too much testosterone so maybe those things aren’t worth worrying about

I worry sometimes that if I microdosed T it would fuck up my hairline and make my voice too deep but that’s literally my only worry
