My cat Aki is having severe dental and gum problems. We’ve tried treatment before, but it didn't work, and she needs to see a specialist soon. I'm taking commissions to cover her medical bills 🐾 3 Sketch portraits 🐾 2 Half body (rendered) Shares are greatly appreciated! 🙏 linish.carrd.co

whoever wrote that article should be given all the op-eds henceforth, no more op-eds from anyone else anymore just from that one person

'professional agitator' 'external agitator' 'andolan jeevi' The language of the tyrant is the same in any tongue.

The Grand Mosque Makkah

Gosh that’s too bad. I hope that one of his aides turned the volume off quickly so he wasn’t bothered any more (envisioning him being followed around for the rest of his existence and beyond by a banshee that screams in anguish unceasingly and only he can hear).

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

Yup. We're not Nazi Germany yet, so maybe chill and organize instead.

More 黑警 word melds. I don't have anything to add except our protest art goes hard and also, boy, do HKers hate cops. Source: Telegram (Aug 2019)

The Weight of Words For HKers, language is our identity. We speak Cantonese. We write in traditional Chinese. And during the pro-democracy protests when it seemed like no one would hear us, we just made up some new words that speak our truth. Source: Telegram/ Ah-To (Dec 2019)

I hadn’t thought of General Hospital in years, but I’ve been watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Youtube and they showed an early episode and I suddenly wondered if it was still running and it is! “That is not dead which can eternal lie/and with strange aeons even death may die”.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Tiny star! Photo from my collection, no date/info.

It also can't hurt when you spend your transition staffing up to hit the ground running on fulfilling your campaign promises, rather than throwing yourself expensive parties and doing another round of sucking up to your big ticket donors.

You can, like, just do good. Good wins if you actually promise it and actually do good.

he's so perfect

45 years of all the most important people in the country getting it just right, exactly as all the smart people demanded, and yet everything is fucked and somehow it’s nobody’s fault, except perhaps for migrants and the left, who spent exactly no seconds in power.

excellent news, a second angle of the baby has dropped

I don't think their policy of murdering innocent mothers in the street is having the intended effect.

they'll kill you when you tell them you're not mad they'll kill you when you tell them you're furious might as well be furious

To blep whare no one gaz blept before

she sings for notre dame and never for babur's mosque we are alone here brothers and sisters we are alone where gods make their cruelest jokes i must never forget she never sings for us.

took a walk up my street

I like watching this Japanese guy’s series of videos about camping in a tiny camper he built himself but fir some reason he uses the most depressing saccharine music as a soundtrack. I just don’t get other people’s musical tastes.

Apparently it got up to 72 F today. A thing I’ve noticed is almost every January there will be a few days where temperatures will go up to spring-like numbers, then plunge back down for several more weeks of winter. And that’s what it’s going to do. Tomorrow will still be fairly warm, but rainy.

Hominid

My basic proposition is that for at least 45 years, Britain has been a kind of depraved but closely controlled Fallout vault experiment, and it hasn’t at all gone the way the scientists assumed it would.

gotta be some use for this at some point

It is always good to study how people protested against but also resisted and fought their fascist rulers, but now even more so than usual. There's so much to learn. Tage Nielsen's story: youtu.be/mRY6_PpUmiI?...

Blur front. Dune back.

My old house, along the front of the house. Kept spreading until bed was overfull! Click on photo to see my cat's friend, an elderly piebald deer, in the distance.

@rachelgoes262.bsky.social Look! Look! Vancouver Canada! Hang tight!

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

This. The term "conservative" is a better fit for AOC speaking out in defence of basic fundaments of the social order than for the fascist GOP intent on smashing & subverting it to fascism, or for the centrist Dems only concerned with protecting their own position at the centre of power & privilege.

As a young doctor I was put into use as much as possible during COVID. Probably did the most home checks and covid screenings on ill people in my region. Wore my mask for 3 years, didn't catch covid nor any respiratory infection once. Went to an amusement park after masking mandate: got covid.

It's too bad this country went insane about masks, seems like they can be useful

Cis writers: If you want to put a trans person in your story, just write a person and bring up that they're trans at *some* point within the story, ideally in a secondary way like having them mention HRT or something. If you want to write a story *about* a trans person, just like, don't.

Look, I don't know, but this slowly-reproducing and highly endangered species just had twins in the wild. Dian Fossey thought mountain gorillas would be extinct by 2000. So there's that. 🧪 www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

This is Jade, the sweetest, most wonderful lady at our local shelter here in Burlington, VT. She is such a love but she's been waiting for a home for months because she's older and diabetic (well controlled with medication). She deserves a loving home of her own. 😢 www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...
