Notice how they don't beat his ass when they corner him. They mock him, they get a bit rough with him, but they don't kick his teeth in for being an open, antagonistic Nazi in front of an entire class, baiting them. The restraint here is enormous, and their convictions are laudable.

This was crazy popular last year so if you wanted to tackle some of these this year here you go! #oc-tober

スグアオ Finally, it’s October! How about some vampire x werewolf action to start?

Doing @pyperhaylie.bsky.social 's Kinktober list, but I AM still randomly selecting the characters via a wheel of names spinner. I was a little surprised Peach came up so early, too, but Daisy, Rosalina and Pauline are still waiting in the wings...

I REALLY need folks to understand that having a functioning society doesn't mean that every little thing needs to make money. Sometimes the point is that it makes people's lives better and doesn't have to make record profits every year to be fucking worthwhile

OHIO: know your rights! This message from bluesky is a LIE! You, an individual, are NOT required by the law to verify your age. Bluesky is required to have you verify your age IF it detects that you are in Ohio. if it does not detect that you are there, YOU DO NOT NEED TO VERIFY! vpn use is legal!

the entire administration has Hitler strategic goals but youth pastor tactics and charisma

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID? It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

This is absolutely a lie. There is no reason shutdowns trigger layoffs. They never have before. Trump is simply using the shutdown as an excuse to take federal employees hostages and to further gut the government. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/shutdown-h...

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

Part 4. Actions have consequences.

whole bunch of pikachus because i love them

The tariff story isn’t just soybeans. It’s also your grocery bill. Farmers get a bailout. Shoppers just get higher prices. Trade wars don't just create pain, they ensure the costs are born by those without political power.

Happy fat bear week everybody 🐻

More WIP, make a humble offering, or offer up yourself to the nameless horned beast~ Big old mommy milkers on this big boy.

The President does not get to pick and choose which states should have “fair maps” while other states sit on their hands. While other states are determining whether or not they have fair maps, so will Maryland.

I’m glad ICE released Steve Held, who they grabbed last night in Broadview. Now, the government must stop trying to deport journalist Mario Guevara, the Atlanta journalist who ICE targeted in retaliation for his immigration coverage.

Hey so... did you know that the Mormon Church filed an amicus curiae brief on the 19th of September? Me either... www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24... In short, "Giving trans people rights hurts us because it ruins our religious freedom to be bigots!"

It's the spookiest time of the year.

No more cautionary tales in comics. No more GoT-style relationships that lead to discussions around ethics and consent. No more survivor-made media about their experiences. Censorship silences seeing *bad* relationships in media and debating, learning from, or relating to them in a healthy way too!

Stop exploiting survivors’ language to make points about morality. It’s beyond unethical to use us like that. Also, censorship means no media with child abuse or trafficking narratives can be created and that’s dangerous! People forget this ban doesn’t just impact erotic art. It’s everything!

THIS! People unironically think the reason CSAM is illegal is because "it's icky and makes me feel bad." The whole reason we switched from CP to CSAM is to unambiguously clarify that the material contains the abuse of an actual minor. Yet people will use terms like "csam drawings"with zero irony.

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work! Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too. That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

One last thing before I take a day off: apparently there's a push for age verification in the EU as well via specific apps. Call your MEPs and tell them NO TO INTERNET AGE VERIFICATION APPS. It is unsafe and will lead to mass data breaches. #savespeech #bskycensorship

On top of being subjective, unfalsifiable, and prone to abuse, it is profoundly absurd. It covers Back to the Future. It covers The Princess Bride. It covers The Amazing Digital Circus. It covers Knights of Guinevere. It covers the sentence "Suddenly, she kissed him."

Banning "depictions of non-consensual sex acts, even if fictional" is a stricter criteria than PG, a stricter criteria than E for Everyone, a stricter criteria than the FCC uses on public radio waves where you're not allowed to curse. It's an absolutely absurd standard for an open platform.

BlueSky, if you really are "an open social network that gives creators independence from platforms, developers the freedom to build, and users a choice in their experience", I have news for you. That means that you, the owners, moderators, and admins, have to learn to tolerate stuff you don't like.

I'm not surprised by the lengths they are willing to go to stop us from seeing the Epstein Files. Just look at how far they were willing to go to stop us from ever hearing from Jeffrey Epstein again.

Tried to Give this a go myself, as others have mentioned there is no option for "I do not use it" at a necessary point It does expect that every person that responds is using generative ai in their work If nothing else it shows that the "Impact of ai" is that it expects everyone is doing it

here’s how the rest of the #Eeveelutions react to bathtime… 🛁🫧✨

"Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?" is a question no sane PotUS would ever need to ask.

The old man left to stuff his face, leaving some kind of rodent behind.

This is why we have high blood pressure.

I lost it at “FUCKING KYLE!” #caturday

But what about white parents who are members of antifa, would they have to behead themselves? How can there be no white members of antifohhhhhh wait, hang on, you know, it's possible when these people say "antifa" they might mean something other than "antifascist".

Fascist regimes don’t start by saying “we’re fascist.” They start by outlawing anti-fascism.

Too many people have recommended Homeopaths to me.

If you see this, show us how you draw man tiddies! I LOVE drawing big man tits, it's my favorite subject

Not to get into the NSFW arguments, but I did a sketch study based off a statue in a famous museum. I just find it weird how when it’s not like a marble statue anymore, suddenly it becomes ‘Oh Noz NSFW’ , even in my own head 🤷🏻‍♀️ (I DID label this but who knows if auto mod gonna smack it as explicit)

This is fucking horrifying.

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism. ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees. One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help. He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

The Supreme Court greenlit racial profiling. ICE should not be able to stop and interrogate you just because of the way you look or the language you speak. It's an absolute outrage, and we're not going to stop sounding the alarm.

21 backers away from beating my backer count on the Abbadon kickstarter! Hell yeah, 20 is the next milestone for backers at 150 and we're £713 from funding! So if you think you might vibe with a JRPG inspired TTRPG made by a tiny developer check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/los...

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...
