For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

good time to consider the misinfo you've been fed abt movements like the earth liberation front. why they're positioned as both silly hippie bleeding hearts & also dangerous ecoterrorists.

anyway. comment! but don't expect it to save us. look for Indigenous-lead resistance. prepare for a fight.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

the fact that the Iranian government ALSO murders lots of Iranians does not make being bombed constantly somehow less shitty. i know this is apparently a hard concept for some

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,

1. Hating their government

2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

This part right here, is very important for everyone to understand

This all began with a concerned mutual reaching out to me, stating that they saw a notification that pointed at me using the Meta AI app and asking if my stance on generative AI had changed.
That’s when I learnt that Meta has been quietly using random people’s accounts to promote their app. The catch is… these people never actually downloaded the app. Including myself.

I just wanted to make this post to warn people. If you see a notification like that - know that it’s a lie, I never downloaded any AI app and never will. I’m an artist who values hard work and human effort, and generative AI repulses me to an unimaginable degree.

If you follow me on Instagram and you receive a notification about me joining or downloading Meta AI well, IT'S A FUCKING LIE. Meta is blatantly lying to us in order to make us download that fucking sludge-generator. I would never touch GenAI with a 10 foot pole.

Expanding to include all of these organizations.

If you donate $50+ to any of them and show me proof and a ref, I’ll draw you a digital icon or bust.

If you donate $100+, I’ll draw you a marker badge.

I don’t think people understand what’s this means: MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ARE BLOCKING ALL WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, CANES, INSULIN PUMPS, GLUCOSE MONITORS, CPAP MACHINES, NEBULIZERS, BEDS, CRUTCHES, COMODE CHAIRS, BED SORE PRESSURE PADS, CHAIR LIFTS, OXYGEN TANKS, BREATHING EQUIPMENT, to name a few.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Has always been strange to simultaneously be like "gender is immutable, unchangeable, innate, and readily apparent. It's impossible to misread, everybody can tell what gender a person is just by looking at them. Also, your ID needs a little letter on it so the police don't do a whoopsie daisy."

no one should be renewing their nitro because this is just kicking the can down the road. until these freaks realize it's not the entire fucking world's job to imperil their security or banking to babysit other people's stupid kids and drop this shit entirely, they should be hemorrhaging money.

β€˜Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, β€˜If it can happen to me, i...

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC.

I always thought the whole "they want you dead" thing was just hyperbole. But I guess this makes the entire raw milk, no vax, more asbestos stuff make a lot more sense.

It took nearly a year for this killing to become public, so one can only imagine that far more have been killed by ICE/CBP agents than we may ever know.

Science is not truth.
Science is finding the truth.

When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

A screenshot of a New York Post health article. The headline reads: β€œHow long diseases like measles and the flu linger in the air β€” after an infected person has left the room.” It is written by McKenzie Beard and published February 14, 2026, at 2:09 p.m. ET, with a note showing 17 comments.

Below the headline is a photo of a man in profile sitting on a couch, wearing a red shirt with a face mask pulled down under his chin. He is exhaling forcefully, and a visible cloud of fine droplets or aerosol particles is shown spreading through the air in front of him, illustrating airborne transmission. A caption beneath the image states that tiny droplets and aerosols can hang in the air and build up indoors even after an infected person leaves.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Police lie so often that lawyers have a term for it:

Testilying.

Keep that in mind when moderate Democrats say that ICE and CBP agents should be held to the same standards as police.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Especially when they had a data breach a few months ago and double especially because I don't trust these bitches when the govt. comes knocking at their door asking for data. Suck it.

I should hope I don't need to spell it out for some people saying its "just the porn" but I will. There's many reasons why its a stupid overreach but an obvious one is the US is currently under fascist rule. We really don't need anyone messing around with our IDs right now -

I would not call this a walkback at all, more like they are mansplaining to us that we are overreacting and what they want to do isnt that bad - still keep up the heat tho.

This falls under the same category as β€œomg Qanon was right the entire time!” where it’s cherry picking a few things that they were tangentially right about while ignoring that they were 100% complicit in propping up the exact same kind of shit they were supposedly against.
