* Magic is done through fast and precise movements, so mages don't wear a lot of encumbering material. Tight athleisure for all!
* Magic carries a risk of discharge; cast a fireball, you might burst into flames. Chainmail bikini survives such treatment better than silk robes, + is easier to replace.

A cat looking very confused and unsure about scritches to the top of her head, which is attention but not quite what she'd like.

The one that's stuck with me was somebody blocking me for questioning their claim that it was anti-black to not support Kamala Harris over her support for Israel.

Cat blearily looking at the camera, debating waking up or going back to sleep and if he's annoyed I woke him.

Should he be annoyed I woke him up with scritches or happy for scritches...?

A tabby cat in the middle of a pile of cats standing up and looking at the camera while licking it's nose.

Gotta love it when you accidentally time things perfectly.

this remains the, like... central thing in all cases here.

the benefits of avoiding being cruel have nothing to do at all with if it is 'justified' or who 'deserves' it. the primary benefit is that you won't fuck yourself up. you won't turn your brain into a blade that demands blood.

Unless you're going to get them "a real job", you're just bullying them to homelessness and death. I will happily agree that I should be working right now, but that is not entirely under my control.

Including astronauts. Obviously, the Aldrin family did not name their kid Buzz.
Gus Grissom went by Gus because he didn't like his first name. NASA accepted that, and suggested he use his middle name instead. Virgil Ivan Grissom explained what a bad idea that would be during the Cold War.

Ooh, look at that stressed-out baby.

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

That's not a report, that's just a couple of assertions.
But OK, we can find other people killed by Trumpist authoritarianism.

Alternatively- Put up reports on the people killed by his regime. Keith Porter, Renee Good, etc, the deaths in Alligator Alcatraz, the estimated dead from DOGE gutting USAID, maybe the Gaza death toll. We can go on.

Yeah, I gotta respect the Patriots for still trying to get points with 2:21 left in the game and trailing 16 points.

so far tonight bad bunny has sung more reggaeton songs than the patriots and seahawks combined

Only in Philadelphia.

Speaking as a Seattleite, I am feeling this post.

Even if millions of white Americans understood the authoritarian nature of the threat, there is a visceral quality to the realization forced by the images of the public executions in the streets of Minneapolis that is different: We are all at risk. And if we don’t act, we are all implicated.

Best cat toys: brown paper, paper bags, gift wrap bows, empty boxes, and sometimes a ball or little mouse if they can't find anything else.
