"People will cut off family over politics, it's so silly" Is it? Is not wanting to associate with people who will do Olympic-tier mental gymnastics to justify/dismiss exhaustively documented child rape silly, now? I say cut 'em off, and let 'em know why. That's some shit they deserve to sit with.

Moon and Mercury setting next to the Griffith Observatory just moments ago. Found a good spot to take photos. #Photography #Astrophotography

THE WINNER

If you’re going to be required to use a digital robot butler then surely you want that to mean that it will do work while you’re frolicking in meadows or relaxing with novels and tea, not that it will do work while you somehow go out and find other, harder work to do even more of, for the same pay

Hate to say it, but I'd even trust the boomers on Quora before I'd trust Chad Gibbity.

When you have a cleaning task you’re really dreading, set the timer on your phone for 15 minutes and clean for that long only spoiler: you’ll probably get it all done, it’s just that often it’s easier to get started when the task has a definite length

I went to art school... I had no clue this is what people meant by "warm ups". Like, a whole routine? Each part specific and functional? Dang. Probably would have less "forgot how to draw" days if I did these every time. I'm gonna try it.

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition

NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog. With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

There are people in the world who say that there are only two genders: male and female. But the heart and soul have much more personality. It's very sad that people who can't accept this sometimes utter very harsh words. You were born to live freely. Chiitan is an ally of transgender people🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

New fundraiser in my shop right now! Immdef provides free legal services to immigrants and are currently suing ICE for inhumane conditions at the Adelanto ICE prison.

The great thing about February is that it has only 28 days, unlike January which had 10,000

Obie the feral kitty showed up for breakfast this morning and is now snoozing in his warm house on the back porch. He was gone for a few days in a row, and I know eventually he won't show up again, so I'm always happy when he does.

Why do witches love Costco? Because you can buy so many things Imbolc.

Happy large boulder the size of a small boulder day for all who celebrate

I'm so tired

Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121. Call and leave a message. Then call again on Monday and talk to someone directly.

Habituating yourself to graphic depictions of horror may FEEL like moral practice. It is not. Moral speech and action is the moral practice.

Gentle (and likely unnecessary) reminder for friends experiencing freezing temps outside: Please bang on the hood of your car or blow the horn before you start it up the next few days if you go somewhere. You could save the life of anything sheltering up in the engine.

Its honestly heart warming to see the people of Minneapolis stand together, using the tactics perfected in LA, Chicago and New York and showing the rest of the country that yes, you can do more than sit idly by.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Finally, a flag worth fighting for.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

Obie the feral kitty was hanging out in his heated house on the back porch this morning, came out to get his breakfast, and went right back in. Stay warm, fuzzy lil buddy.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link. DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS. This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it! Stay frosty, friends.

I am home, the (indoor and feral) kitties have been fed, and now it is time to "accidental" couch nap in my burrito blanket after an extremely good weekend. 💚⚔️

it's the big day

I feel like panicking and I was not in control of this situation and I could see at least ten instances now where I’d made wrong decisions and being in control of the situation was really important because otherwise it was in control of me

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

Online shop update incoming this week! I'm going to be adding new prints, stickers, and even painted 3D bois!

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!

Hahaha I was looking through my old art folders and found this kitty dress up game from Twitter (back when it was still Twitter 🥲). Do you wanna play? 🐾

big day for redacted thoughts

Abolishing ICE is a moderate position imo

Fuck ICE

Everything feels terrible lately, which is why it's important to make time for the little things that keep you going. I have a lead on a used Pava A5 mandolin and I sure do hope it pans out! I would love to get my grubby paws on it for a test drive and take it home if it feels good to play.

THEY ARE GETTING SNOW NOSEYS

Important news it is snowing on the deercam rn! They are getting turned into little frosted cuppycakes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwLu...

*stares in SCA*

Woke up 1 minute before today's first meeting and my alarm must have gone off as I was falling asleep or something because I'm dizzy as heck like I woke up from a bad nap. Sure hope this goes away soon, I have bugs to fix!
