It's about Halloween time, but my lovely hun @marinathalassa.bsky.social and I got invited to a costume party. We had a lovely time, but the trip back was long. I swallowed my lovely hun down and let her relax and sway inside until we got back. (Commission art I got from @memento-mori.bsky.social )

love when someone you're campaigning against is like "yeah, it's working"

>They want the controversy ... to quietly disappear (Banging Pans Together) "I DON'T GET NO WORK DONE CUZ OF Y'ALL, Y'ALL AIN'T GON' GET NO WORK DONE CUZ'A ME!"

Let's keep showing them how profoundly irritating we can be, because they have an easy out. It's right there!

Do not be a doomer about this. Just call your New York friends and remind them to vote, and tell them to do the same. He is more popular and will win with good turnout.

Valve being privately owned and not publicly traded is 100% the reason they haven't shat themselves fatally. Every publicly traded company ends up shitting themselves to death to get more and more profit at the expense of existing. Like a tumor.

please yall, adult is for porn, graphic media is for isis beheadings. please stop labeling your porn as graphic media.

Also in red dragon phase! Will you let your mornings drag-on?! 💤🥱 sixthleafcloverstore.com/collections/... Get the t-shirt, hoodies and more: sixthleafcloverstore.com/collections/... #dragons | #fantasyart

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

thank god i found this

So, thing that's been bothering me. It's okay to say you are at your limit and you are tired. Please ignore people telling you it's some sort of privilege to only be tired *now*. Everyone gets tired. Do you think every resistance member was out 24/7? No, because that's not fucking helping anyone

NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post One: "abhorrent” Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation” www.gamefile.news/p/halo-ice-d...

if the government was actually shut down they would stop taking your taxes federal student debt would stop accruing interest Argentina wouldn’t get a $40Bn bailout Israel wouldn’t keep getting shipments of bombs and we wouldn’t blow up fishing boats but it’s not shut down at all.

Until SNAP is funded, here’s an ongoing list of Bay Area restaurants where SNAP recipients can receive free food. Just bring your EBT card!

What did people do before SNAP?” They died. Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival. They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Please don’t call this “a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans.” Call it what it is: Republicans intentionally not using the SNAP contingency fund—keeping hostage 42 million food-insecure Americans as a bargaining chip to push increasingly anti-democratic legislation.

I don't even live anywhere close to NY but genuinely please go vote

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life. It aids fascism.

Yall NEED to go vote. I literally do not care if you feel anxious or its hard to make time or, and this better not be you, "there will be enough votes it will be fine" We all watched as the current president beat who we -thought- would win by a tiny margin. DON'T BE THE ONE TO LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN

Microsoft is giving money to the ballroom project. They're all in on this administration. Corporations love authoritarianism. They thrive in times of kickbacks, back room deals, and encouraged monopolies. And when authoritarianism fails, the corporations survive and pretend to love democracy again.

If Microsoft do not make a firm statement against this soon, I'm pretty sure I'm upgrading them to Boycott For Life. This is utterly reprehensible and if they somehow endorse this naked, virulent bigotry, they are a valid target forevermore.

I really fear that we've lost all our momentum. Feels like I haven't seen any posts about this issue in a while, and it's STILL not resolved. Payment processors have been praying we'll stop calling and finally fall in line. Don't let the issue die. PLEASE keep calling!

And make sure that if you have multiple Google accounts, you do so for each one! Might as well disable any other apps that you don't use by default while you're in there too! No wonder my Drive's been sluggish recently...

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

important reminder: food banks usually prefer money to direct food donations because they can buy at discounted rates check with your local food bank to be sure but now is the time to help out

I miss the days of early Bluesky when we all agreed that putting screenshots of ragebait losers from other websites on each other's feeds was totally Bad and Uncool and behavior Best Left Behind

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

1. As SNAP benefits expire, 42,000,000 hungry people may turn to the USDA website. Now, the website blames their hunger on transgender people and immigrants. It's a cynical ploy, an an indication that anti-trans measures are a Trump priority for the shutdown. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people

He’s just going to make things up to try and stay in power, like all fascist authoritarians do. We will not abide it.

Every one deserves to eat. It’s that simple.

Tatsugiri moment Imagine getting commanded to get inside

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

I think about this a lot.

I hate how my family did this shit. I (seemingly/undiagnosed) have executive dysfunction or something. And any time I would do anything to help around the house without being asked, I was met with snarky comments. And wow did I never want to help again. Probably why I STILL struggle to do shit today

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

crazy how level design can have actual intention behind decisions to create certain encounters and not bringing in the original devs can mean you fuck up a lot of key moments!

its support for youtube has been down for a while but i think people should know about this site because it makes downloading videos from a ton of sites way easier than any other janky ad filled site :) cobalt.tools

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

🎯

This isn't national leadership. This is a tantrum of wounded and bitter men. Its simply division, cynicism and a civil war in slow motion. This administration is willfully and with every action destroying a union of states that is our republic.

We’ve already seen quite a few examples of ICE agents trying to kidnap someone and eventually giving up and running away because a crowd had gathered and shouted them down. That’s EFFECTIVE.

Please contact your representatives about KOSA! Phone calls, emails, letters, whatever option works best for you! But choose what works best and send a LOT of them until this legislation is put down!

Don't care if I get unfollows - but to anyone in the fandom who pulls a "i dont wanna talk about politics" - either as a community we talk, or the politics talks for us. I get it - it gets tiresome after a point. But this is where we are at now.
