“We need so many people to care, so many people to say that, ‘I am willing to make financial and social sacrifices, professional sacrifices, in order to build a better world.’Whoever is questioning whether or not they should do that, I want them to know that they can, and it’ll be okay”

Apparently some people do not like cats! Weirdos. Lots of people blocking me too. I've never been this blocked before in my life, I must be winning.

Artwork of the cover art of "Magica Riot," featuring protagonist Claire in her purple magical girl costuming posing in front of the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon. Across the top, artwork of her and the other four main characters in a park is placed. Around the book art are placed several blocks of text: "trans protagonist," "entirely queer cast," "found family energy," "thrilling action," "music-based magic," "goopy monsters," "useless lesbians," "modern-day Portland." A quote from Strange Horizons Magazine calling the book "Brilliant trans joy" comes next. Finally, text at the bottom reads: "Recommended if you like Sailor Moon, Symphogear, Pretty Cure, Power Rangers"

Writing my queer magical girl rock band is now, officially, my job. So, if you'd like to support me, please consider buying a copy of the first book! The sequel is nearly ready for its big debut, so you're getting in on the ground floor of a new magical girl universe. 🥰 magicariot.com/buy

❤️Jane #Goodall leerde ons dat echt leiderschap betekent zorg voor alles wat leeft. Haar nalatenschap roept ons op tot compassie, en het stoppen met het laten lijden van dieren.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

Israel’s unlawful interception of Global Sumud Flotilla illustrates its determination to continue deliberately starving Palestinians in Gaza Responding to reports that Israeli forces have intercepted at least 39 vessels and detained dozens of crew members of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was attempting to break Israel’s illegal…

"This interception is not just about blocking aid; it is a calculated act of intimidation intended to punish and silence critics."

"The decades-long impunity for Israel's blatant violations of international law must end, nothing can justify genocide."

Bizarre Trump ramble to military seen as 'truly significant turning point' in presidency Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sparked concerns with his unusual order summoning hundreds of military commanders to Virginia for an all-hands meeting — but it the speech by President Donald Trump that...

Trump opens with a threat to the generals: "I've never walked into a room so silent … Have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud ... If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future. But you just feel nice and loose."

Autism is not a disease.
You can’t cure autism.

"Some people don’t care what we want. They want a cure for autism, and they spend a lot of time and money looking for it. This is bad for autistic people. People should spend time and money helping us live good lives."

Words by @autisticadvocacy.org.

I will never forget the story of “Cara”, a 16 year old who was bullied into removing her mask at school.

Staff and kids bullied her.

Her mom was immunocompromised and undergoing chemo, and Cara was trying to protect her.

She caught Covid & her Mom died.

We must be better than this.

Not #Cumbria but too good not to share!

About Stella: Stella was rescued 9 months ago from a neglectful situation. She was housed alongside her brother, Link, in a windowless garage that acted as a storage unit for the family for nearly 8 years. They had no air condition and only a singular heat lamp in the winter where temperatures could drop as low as -20F. They had been socialized enough to crave attention but spent the majority of their time in complete isolation and darkness. When the weather permitted, they could look out a screen door to an interstate road. Stella and her brother have since received veterinary care, a proper diet, and lots of snuggles! They live in a house with a large cat-patio that looks out into a lush garden. Stella loves basking in the sun while she watches the squirrels play and birds splash in the bird baths. My hope is that she recovers quickly and spends many more years discovering what it feels like to finally be loved.

Hi everyone, I hate asking for help but if you could please share this with the cat lovers in your life it would mean the world to me. This has been so devastating 😭

I will be live at 11am CST to talk about it ❤️

A three panel sketchbook comic between a woman and a cat. First panel: Woman: I have too many bones Cat: You have extra bones? Woman: No, I have the regular number but I’d like less Second panel: Cat: how many bones would you rather have? Woman: zero bones. Third panel: Cat: then you’d just be a slug Woman: yeahhhh, that sounds relaxing.

I’m back and forth in whether I’m going to post my daily comic here but I guess I’ll give it a shot.

Surely taking down the signs about climate change will keep the lobsters from disappearing from the Gulf of Maine
