[US politics, democrats, transphobia] The only message that trans people/critters should be giving Democrats right now about Gavin Newsome is: "our fate will be the same" There's no version of this where only we are affected and you aren't. Our fate will be the same. We are tying ourselves to […]

[Politics (no king protest, media)] I'm not really in a position to fix this, but I want to suggest again that the next No Kings protest also include some news offices as some of their protest locations? See if we can actually get some coverage this time around. #nokings

[Politics, dark humor] There are good things happening in the world, you just need to know where to look. For example, did you know that Markwayne Mullin drives without a seatbelt?

[politics (NYC), dark-ish humor] So, I just want to be clear on the NYT/Politico's narrative here. Zohran Mamdani leaves NYC. And immediately, as soon as there's no Zohran Mamdani in NYC - suddenly in his absence there's a spike of violence and a tragic shooting. And your conclusion to this […]

[Politics, Gaza (negative, obviously)] Everything is broken here, and I'm guilty of distractions and fatigue too, but also we're literally watching a genocide in real time in Gaza, and the "liberal" governments around the world seem to be being just as passive about it as the fascist ones […]

Respectability is bullshit, if you support games, support porn games. If you support workers, support sex workers. If you support humans, support humans that get horny. Puritanism is one of the greatest evils on a deeply poisoned planet.

[Tech nonsense, passkeys] I continue to be genuinely confused at how bad Microsoft is at promoting passkeys. If you told me that somepony at Microsoft was actively trying to sabatoge passkeys and encourage distrust about the project, I'm not sure how I would prove you wrong […]

[NYC Politics (snarky), Dem infighting] Look, I understand that parts of the Democratic establishment are upset about the NYC primary. But you have to understand: it's not the Democratic party's job to win elections. It's the job of progressives and activists to win elections. So don't get mad […]

[politics (-), news media] No Kings protest was great, it's good news that so many critters are mobilizing. Here's my minor suggestion: next time we all organize a mass protest, can we have a couple of protest locations directly in front of the front doors to the offices of the NYT, Washington […]

[US politics (+), democrats (-)] Faced with the prospect of a progressive winning, the Atlantic decides ranked choice voting is bad actually: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/06/new-york-mayoral-race-cuomo-mamdani/683146/ Their argument? All of its good qualities are bad actually […]

[US Politics, Art Giveaway] We're doing election doodles! Let's get Andrew Coumo out for good >:3 Post the following text thread on Bluesky or Mastodon (you can add more if you'd like), link me to it, and then give me a doodle request! <3 #politics […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

[US Politics, Democrats] Bullying works and we should do it to more politicians. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/us/politics/fetterman-senate-absence-mental-health-interview.html?smid=tw-share #JohnFetterman

[Politics, Dems/Media] First of all, fuck Biden (I voted for Kamala and would have voted for Biden even if he had been on active life support). Secondly though, okay, tip: Biden dropped out of the race, he is never going to run for public office again, and the fucker in the White House right […]

[US politics, Democrats] Note to Democrats, accepting foreign bribes is an impeachable offense. Like, you could just impeach. It wouldn't pass? Fine, do it anyway. You wouldn't get the votes to start proceedings? The speaker would shut it down? Do it anyway. Take a lesson from Republicans […]

If I was a passkey advocate this would make me furious. One of the big critique of passkeys continues to be vendor lock-in. And as evangelists try to convince critters that won't happen, here comes Microsoft with a completely non-technical push for its own authenticator app. Basically, "You can […]

[politics (-), economy/climate change] I know, I know, I know, I know, BUT.. These are the same people that when environmental activists were like, "maybe we should cut back on boiling the planet in service to the god of Consumption", responded with "they want you to live in a hovel and eat […]

[Politics (-), antisemitism, dark humor (joke)] ADL further clarifies that the Antisemitism Awareness Bill will not infringe on peoples' rights to give nazi salutes.

[Politics (-), deportations] Fuck both the fascists and the centrists who looked at the fascists and were like, "this is a key voting demographic, let's shift the overton window on this, normalize talking about immigrants like they're a problem." There are way too many paving the way for this […]

[politics, ableism, Elon Musk, humor] Hear me out though: is it possible that the only autistic person RFK Jr knows is Elon Musk? Because I don't know for sure whether he's ever paid taxes.

[politics, UBI] Behind every "we couldn't afford UBI" critique is the unwritten assumption that our economy can only function if a subset of the population *doesn't make a livable wage.*

[Politics (-)] Reminder that all of these MAGA fuckers running around turning into monks over the economy view changing economic models to address climate change as an existential threat. Us: "Maybe we shouldn't send all of our clothes to landfills and use plastic for everything" GOP: "The […]

[US Politics (-), humor/snark] oh my god, everyone freeze, stay calm. the woke mind virus is hiding IN YOUR 401K

[US Politics, covid/economy] Our national values are summed up in the fact that we were willing to expose children to a deadly disease to save the economy, and were willing to kill that same economy because we were worried some other countries weren't treating us "fair". It's tempting to say […]

Under-stated problem with RSS that I wish got a bit more attention, and one of the reasons that (while I've been planning to make one for a while) I still haven't gotten around to setting up an RSS feed: there is no benefit. I am going to eventually set up an RSS feed for my art, but the […]

[US Politics (-), snark] If we were back in Germany, John Fetterman would be the guy running around saying, "I obviously disagree with hitler on some issues, but this resistance is performative - if the german economy tanks will that not also hurt the Jews?"

[US Politics] https://mastodon.social/@QasimRashid/114116534421989041 The list of Democratic representatives who voted to censure Al Green for protesting during the State of the Union: Their phone numbers: https://mastodon.social/@QasimRashid/114116659687989562 Most representatives won't […]

[US Politics, infighting] I like to advocate for systems and for working within them, but the complete devolution of centrist talking points of Centrists and Progressive larpers into "Democrats don't owe you anything, it's your job to fix this" is really not doing a good job of convincing me […]

[US Politics] One of the big reasons why I did the sketch giveaways for voting in the German elections and one of the reasons why I'm looking to do more encouragement for voters abroad is that one country devolving into fascism is way better than every country devolving into fascism. If I had […]

[US politics, boycott] I agree with a few other takes I've seen what a general boycott today is pawbably not going to solve anything on its own, but that it: A) raises awareness that boycotts are possible B) increases political engagement C) might get the press to take notice All of those […]

https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/02/google-password-manager-finally-syncs-to-ios-heres-how/ So correct me if I'm wrong, but this still is not actual ecosystem transfer. Your passkeys are in GPM and you can't take them out of GPM. It's just that GPM also works on iOS now. > There’s no […]

[US Politics] If anypony is wondering how the US is doing, my apartment complex (which originally required proof that monthly salary was 3x rent in order to move in) is now advertising a credit service to split up payments into bimonthly charges instead of monthly charges and to set up payment […]

If you're a German citizen, let me know that you've voted this election or that you have a plan to vote, and I'll draw you a 5 minute doodle <3 Can be SFW or NSFW :3 Read more at https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11075799, https://aryion.com/g4/blog.php?id=84733, or […]

Cross posting this from my porn account because I want it to have more reach. If you're German, tell me the best way to offer art rewards to help turn out votes. Is there voter registration? Is there a youth turnout problem? What can I offer to help encourage more critters to turn up to vote […]

Any gay Internet animals want to explain to me why the button mappings on my Wacom remote keep randomly resetting and why I have to keep running the xsetwacom commands periodically as I draw? I'll give you scritches and pats and praise if you do. <3 The online documentation about this […]

[US Politics] So, if I understand correctly: it's inaccurate to say that Democrats aren't doing anything, and also we should stop calling Democrats because they're the minority and can't do anything […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

[US Politics, racism, snark] "DEI Critic", a phrase which here means, "person who thought that Hidden Figures would have been a great movie if it wasn't for all of the shoehorned Black characters."

[Palestine, US Politics] So.. at this point, which countries has Trump said that he *doesn't* want to take over?

I would add onto this: Signal is good, and you should use it if you can, and we should collectively demand that Signal update its threat models to better handle threats that many critters are facing. https://mastodon.social/@sarahjamielewis/113947471042678300 Signal won't ever be perfect for […]

My response to Apple’s statement on Hot Tub:

I understand that a lot of critters don't CW politics, whatever. Could you please CW the fucking watersports? Yes, Trump peeing into a fan is visually striking. I do not need to see it 20 times on my timeline. I'm going to try my best not to be mean about this, but you should not need to have […]

[US Politics, Dark Humor] I've checked in on a few Conservative media sources, and I regret to inform you all that by leaving office Biden has somehow become far more powerful than anyone could have ever imagined. I've heard he's going to be starting a trade war with Canada soon. Just […]

[US Politics, sarcasm/dark humor] A question we should be asking voters: to paraphrase the MAGA crowd, are you better off today than you were 10 days ago?

[Politics, bigotry] Hey, if you're queer and despairing, there's going to be a lot of work and bad stuff and everypony is going to have to help each other out, but I want you to start by repeating, like a mantra, over and over, "I am going to outlive this motherfucker." Hope and joy and […]

Can I make an unreasonable request? >w< I want a google forms alternative (for small numbers of submissions) that is both self hosted and requires very minimal serverside (or ideally no severside setup). I've looked at forms services that can be self hosted. Realistically, I am not going to […]

[US Politics, Gaza] Well, now that opposition to the Gaza genocide isn't happening during an election, and is purely aligned with resisting fascism, surely now everypony who assured progressives they'd be marching for Gaza day 1 as soon as the election was over will be out marching for- Oh […]

It's okay if people on here like Ubuntu, we do NOT kink shame them!!

[US Politics (-), Elon Musk(-)] "He has asperbergers, he's awkward." First off, it's 2025, call it fucking autism. Second off, *I* have autism. *I* am awkward and weird and miss social cues, and you don't get to use my identity to excuse fascism. Fuck. That. Bull. Shit. As an autistic […]

I've seen some renewed interest in Pixelfed recently. One of the things I've been working on is integrating Pixelfed into art support/subscriptions. Over at https://pixelfed.art/foxyoreos I have a supporter-only account for critters on Subscribestar. It's like having a supporter-only Twitter […]

[TokTok advice (non-political)] I know that this is not the right forum to reach critters back on TikTok, but if you're a professional creator on the app, you need to start diversifying. I'm not saying this as a political statement, I'm not saying this as an expert on TikTok or any shit like […]
