Just canceled my Paramount+ subscription. Thanks for the reminder, assholes.

Chose other:

"New Paramount is a corrupt company and is complicit in the rise of a fascist regime. I will never pay to support the spineless, gormless scumbags who chose to kneel to a dictator."

It is natural to know despair in dark times, to feel dread and uncertainty. But do not immerse yourself in doom. Seek out joy and light, wherever you can find it, to keep despair from being the only feeling you have space for.

That is DEFINITELY going to include racial minorities, because part of the anti-trans project has absolutely been cracking down on the femininity of anyone who doesn't fit the mold of white femininity sitting on the veranda and drinking lemonade.

The goal here is to eliminate trans people's ability to exist in public.

But note that it will also have the impact of being able to police anyone whose gender presentation does not match what they believe it is, because how do you even know someone is trans?

I know lots of you have strong opinions on this topic, so I hope this will be of interest:

"You are being asked to participate in a survey of romance authors and readers that is being conducted by Prof. Bridget Kies in the Film Studies and Production program at Oakland University."

I had a cat who loved to sleep under the covers. In the winter, he'd crawl under and put four little ice cubes on my leg, which would wake me up in a hurry! 🤣 As soon as they were warm, he'd turn and put his furry back to me

Greatness at last!

Those pink beans!

A book titled "Outdoor Pigs: How to Make them Pay."

those damned outdoor pigs can't keep getting away with this

Sam Altman has the opportunity to do the funniest thing...

If someone even casually references Harry Potter these days I just assume they are transphobic. Let it die.

We just want leaders with basic empathy for all humans.

And it is that simple. Stop "trading off" one human for another and take a stand on *humanity.*

I hadn't framed it that way until @smalladventures.net said it the other day but the truthiness has been rolling around my head ever since.

Ooh, this looks delicious! I'm going to have to try it

"Stop dehumanizing my friends and family and let them pee and play sports and go to college in peace" is not a "purity test" anymore than "Stop actively throwing puppies in the volcano" would be. It's a basic morality test that the majority of the Democratic Party is failing.

A Queer Shoulder to the Wheel A version of this piece was originally published in Flaming Hydra, an art collective I'm proud to be a part of. Then I let David loose to edit as he does so...

I'm so sorry

this entire thread is gold

Colorado in particular needs to shut up about Aussie spiders because we have multiple picturesque mountain towns with mine shafts full of radioactive brown recluses. If we ever get an IRL spiderman he's going to be some kid from Leadville who got bit playing in an unsecured uranium mine (4/?)

One more hat. Where do they keep going?

Black and white photo of a blonde, white toddler sitting in a toy wagon with “Oh boy” painted on the side. In the child’s lap they snuggle a shorthaired grey cat and both look at the camera.

Oh Boy! Photo from my collection, 1925.

Love Kestrel Land Trust! I've been on a couple of their educational nature walks, and both were really great

It’s a new day! Dont forget to call your reps about:

—mRNA vaccines and HHS being on the side of cancer, tuberculosis, and other deadly diseases
—POTUS’s many entanglements plus Epstein
—forced unscheduled redistricting and the threat to the rule of law
—wildfires and hurricanes without FEMA funds

All the shitty, awful technologies are going FULL SPEED AHEAD. Meanwhile, we have new vaccine technologies that could *literally cure cancer, a thing we've been trying to do since we found out cancer was a thing* and to that, RFK just mumbles "nah" through a mouthful of roadkill. This is the worst.

You can honestly tell when AI has been installed in something, because that thing gets worse. Basic shit like autocorrect, or closed captioning, is getting wonkier and wonkier because they let the environment-destroying chaos liar have a crack at it. But sure, let's let it control nuclear missiles.

i called Stripe today and got a busy signal, good job everyone

Oh shit, you aren't kidding!

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.
