It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim β€œadult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

I can feel my eyes, and my brain, vibrating trying to focus on these mugs.

Vanderbilt Will Stop Providing Gender-Affirming Surgeries to Trans Adults The hospital cited β€œoperational limitations” for the decision.

Horrifying and also as predicted. This is genocidal shit. The only hospital in Tennessee that offered this kind of care. www.them.us/story/vander...

A cat trap with a blue towel over it, sitting between a brick wall and an AC unit. There are pine needles underfoot and some bushes ahead.

It's time for cat trapping! It's been a while so hopefully one of the not-yet-neutered regulars I feed will stroll right in for some sardines. #TNR

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?

Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey.

The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

I keep thinking about the people for whom $400K is a small number and how they are the reason people for whom it is a very big number have to hustle like this

Please keep circulating this so that people who have $500 to spare see it

Get in the van, y’all. We’re making homemade granola. Why? Because it’s easy to make, healthier and TASTIER than anything in the store. Did I mention cheaper? That too. Buy your almonds and pecans in bulk and you will use them because you’ll make this again and again.

We thought we were facing this month on no food stamps, but a tiny bit of income.

Turns out we're facing this month on no food stamps AND no income.

I am so tired of fragile little men starting wars. I am so tired of fragile little men making policy decisions that harm us all. I am so tired of fragile little men doing horrendous harm to children and expecting us all to forget about it. I am so tired of fragile little men with their tantrums.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Seriously, get off of X. Don't post there and don't spend time there. You will get exposed to propaganda and bullshit that will nestle into the corners of your brain EVEN IF YOU KNOW IT'S BULLSHIT. Stay away.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

Dear Malaysians in UAE or any other affected countries,

Please email the Malaysian embassy your details: full name, IC, passport, residential address, phone number, etc so in case anything the Malaysian Foreign Affairs know where you are, how to contact you, and coordinate evacuation if necessary.

Please share with other Malaysians overseas and stay safe. You are in my prayers.
