rewatching "she-ra and the princesses of power" before it leaves netflix feb 20th (😡).

the line "wicked people destroy what they cannot control" really resonates right now.

Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest Video from Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, puts fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used to reach the Trump administration’s ambitious enforcement targets

I am fucking FUMING — but goddamn, I am so proud of this kid for having the wherewithal, the guts, and for refusing to delete the footage when threatened. He was arrested and charged for the footage alone

A pink card with black gothic text that says, "Why did this auction make me so sad?"

Hey, Crew. I've seen a lot of folks expressing feelings of embarrassment at their own reactions to the auction. "I thought I was over this" or "I shouldn't be so sad". But I'm here to say that NO ONE should be sorry to feel deeply about something. And yeah, it's about a show, but not /entirely/. 🧵

My point was encouraging respirator use in general, not bashing other types. I'm lucky if I see a surgical or cloth mask, and another respirator user is literally *maybe* a monthly occurrence.

I used N95 as a simple example most people are familiar with, not as a moral prescriptive.

"You have died of dysentery"

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.

Don’t go after him for addiction.

There’s whale heads, abuse tales and other atrocious acts you could have spoke on. It’s gross.

You know how screwy the news is these days? Two astronauts have been Gilligan Islanding the fuck out of the International Space Station for 52 days trying to fix their janky Boeing spacecraft, and I bet a lot of you just learned this right now.

Take no shit in 2025. Make hatred LOOK ignorant. Show it its cruelty. Be intolerant of bigotry. Don't abet a worsening.

Lose friends who insist only some people deserve dignity. Understand who has your back and who's only there because it's convenient.

Dig in. Set your jaw. Rewrite the narrative.

It's a new week, more or less a new year, and we have a few news items!

1) As of 1/1, the Seattle café is going tipless! We've seen this work great for other indies in our area, shopping etiquette will be less confusing, and all staff are getting a pay raise to compensate for this change.

(1/5)

And that includes wearing an N95 in public so you don't infect them with a mass disabling virus.

Hogfather million to one chance search Hi everyone, this is a huge longshot but wondering if any of you lovely folk might be able to help. My partner just told me that her dad (who sadly died more than 20 years ago) gave her a hardback copy of Hogfather, but it got lost in one of her moves not long after he died. I doubt we'd ever find it, but it would be an amazing New Year miracle if we could discover it and I could buy it back if it's still out there. It's signed in the front cover "To Anthea" and probably says from Dad or similar. Like I say, it's a million to one chance... Thanks for reading.

Copied (with permission) from a discworld group I’m in if anyone can help even if it’s just a share

the democrats had the votes to block this. biden had the power to veto it. democrats would have had the power to uphold the veto. democrats chose not to do any of this and as a result, a democratic senate and a democratic president passed and signed the first anti-lgbtq federal law in decades.

I was just telling my friend that he, Rhys, and Michael Sheen have been leaning the fuck IN to their status as 50-something sex symbols, and I for one have zero complaints.

happy new year crew!!! thank you for making 2024 bearable. love all of you lots and lots 💖🍾🎉

Please rideshare, cab, or call a sober friend/family member. Everyone make it home.

I survived because the dumpster fire within me burned brighter than the dumpster fire around me

happy new year, everyone. even in all the worst times in human history people have found joy, helped each other, and resisted the depredations of unaccountable power; and so can we. everything won't all be fine, but there will always be ways to make things better than they are.

Not Con O'Neill starting 2025 by murdering us all 💀💜

1. Vertical (mother to child) transmission of HIV in the US is close to being eliminated—one of the greatest public health successes in modern times

2. RFK Jr is an AIDS denialist, & I fear that putting an AIDS denialist in charge of the nation’s health could be a huge setback to progress

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.

It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.

Warning signs are everywhere.

One more reminder that webglaze serves all its users on the equivalent power of 50% of a single outdated data center GPU. Or you can run glaze on a modern laptop and glaze an image in about 2 mins. Unlike AI companies busy training the latest models, you won’t disrupt any power grids. I promise.
