Being a Republican in 2026 is sufficient grounds to be banned from furry chats and events and I’m tired of pretending otherwise.

i included this in my syllabi this year

(...Seriously, hard to imagine a better comment than this: "I thought this was a real winter Olympics post. I thought 'oh I only watched the women's crosscountry this year, I would have watched the men's too if I knew one of them was coming out as a furry' -_-"

Meanwhile, per earlier discussions: Werewolves on skis. www.tumblr.com/dduane/80855...

"I am very poorly today & very stupid & I hate everybody & everything" might just go on my headstone. www.npr.org/sections/kru...

It's really instructive when you replace "Millennials" with "middle-aged adults" in headlines. '"Middle-aged adults" are swimming in student debt and may never own homes.'

#BHM Day 8: Diego Bemba 🧶 This colorway turns to a figure whose presence in the historical record is both rare & quietly powerful: Diego Bemba, a Kongolese aristocrat from Soyo (in what is now the DRC & Angola), painted in the mid-17th century. It is exceptionally uncommon to know the 1/8 #yarnsky

When you see unhoused people asking for money what you should see is a fracturing of the social contract where an issue (housing) that should be addressed on a municipal or statuary level is instead foisted on individuals in a way designed o put callouses on their souls

Reminder that Steve Buscemi, National Treasure, used to be a firefighter, and when 9-11 happened, he pulled 12 hour volunteer shifts with his old ladder. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta... In case you want to know the first thing I remember about him. :)

hell yeah, erode that AI shit like a urinal cake - www.techpowerup.com/345893/micro... - blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/a...

Hand to God, I fight a never-ending battle to train the clerks at my polling site to stop referring to our voters as “customers.” Consumerism is *deeply* ingrained in the American psyche, overshadowing even citizens performing their duty and exercising their rights.

No notes 🤌🏻

i have been made aware that an Olympic figure skater for Kazakhstan does a Dune themed routine in a full stillsuit and he is now my personal hero

This is the coolest fucking form of solidarity I have ever seen. Bravo.

lifted from tumblr and posting here because holy shit this drives me insane

One of my favorite Trek podcasts is raising $ for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota! fugitiveframes.store/products/thi...

Im not trying to quote the books of sorrow or anything but one of the reasons i always pick up that collectible is a reminder. Ignorance is not a passive. It is a living, aggressive failure that angers the hearts of all who seek to evolve. Ignorance is chosen and i try to not choose that.

The most valuable cultural myth we have is that we can improve ourselves. It used to be in our public consciousness that this is what we strive to do. And have done before. Better people turned their shame into action. Small people use their shame as an excuse for nihilism.

The epigraph of my novel WILLODEEN is a quote from Greta Thunberg: "I have learned that you are never too small to make a difference." Words to remember this year. 💜🌿

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out. As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class. Here's what happened:

Ok guys, be careful about that kinky furry personality quizz that lately has been shared around Bluesky. It seems to be linked to malvertising. Give a read to this blogpost btw, very interesting investigation on that site.

The disease we have in this country right now is that we believe our sense of purpose is to make money. No. You make money as a reward for doing something with purpose. Like running a hotel, or running a restaurant, or selling products. You forget what you're in the business to do and you'll fail.

I updated my anti-ICE database this morning! If you have resource suggestions I missed, please reach out docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

What you of the CHOAM directorate seem unable to understand is that you seldom find real loyalties in commerce. When did you last hear of a clerk giving his life for the company? Perhaps your deficiency rests in the false assumption that you can order men to cooperate.

Alice Isn’t Dead: Don’t Tell Alice, a new sequel series, is coming April 13. Listen to the trailer: www.welcometonightvale.com

I saw a guy at the coffee shop with a shirt that said "I don't need AI, my wife knows everything". If it's getting to the "Dad shirt" point, this shit *might* be cooked.

DOG PARTY! 🎉 Keith Haring is one of our favorite queer artists, so we made a design inspired by his work. Don't forget, you're all just weird fucking animals. 100% of sales from this shirt are being donated to The Trevor Project. 💛 nomadcomplex.com/products/dog...

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now

I have loved this site for many years and I am thrilled that Aftermath has covered it. one of the best examples of Old Good Internet still extant

During Game2Give, people can donate $1.00 and I will give one of my cats a kiss next time I see them. So far I have raised $2.00 worth of cat kisses for the little lights. I cannot guarantee proof of delivery, but if I do capture any footage, I will post here.

I’ve been posting boards from the pilot on my Patreon. Here’s a lil peek.

I'm a coyote now lol. Shout out to my good friend (and now my coyote dad) @leaglem.bsky.social for making this possible. COYOTE TIME COMING SOON! More info in thread (later tho.. I'm gon sleep)-

ICE is a rogue, violent agency that moves with reckless disregard for human life & due process. It has no business in our communities & it must be abolished. The agents that murdered Renee & blocked her from receiving medical care on site must be held fully accountable.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

And actually in a small thread I can explain - there's a distinct throughline of leftist organizing from about 2001 to now that was protest-electoral in character and we've seen it doesn't work, but now we know exactly what will happen if we continue to try. I'll explain.

It's interesting to think that there started being a fairly insistent left wing strain in American politics since the W Bush administration which has only grown - and one of the dominant forces in US politics making sure it didn't win wasn't Republicans, but Dems. Hence leftists being sick of them.

valentine days commissions are open! Dm me if interested and check my pin post for prices :)

A swashbucklin' otter!

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

Happy New Year to everyone! This year is starting off a bit anxious because I'll have to work hard to grow my bsky account. Twitter used to be my social network with the most engagement, but it's getting worse and worse. I'm counting on ur help to get feedback and improve my work for you, my friends

I am honoured to announce I’ve been appointed as a member to the Order of Canada. Thank you to everyone for the support! I dedicate this to my late Mom who taught me so much about history, local independent media & research. I know that she would be, like me, screaming with joy! #orderofcanada

I have worn a mask in public for over 5 years. My husband has had profound, life-changing long Covid for over 4 years, and now our kid does as well. I can’t imagine I will stop masking unless their circumstances change. And for what it’s worth I haven’t had even a cold for the last four+ years.

the kind of person everyone should strive to be

open for Christmas commissions, DM me if you'd like a cute illustration of your oc, yourself, or your partner :v

Hes easy, that Christian Miller #ProjectSuperCrush

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷
