This is the attitude I plan to be bringing into Pride this year. #pride #pridemonth

[US Politics, genocide] I very firmly believe that every Senator and Representative not calling for immediate removal right now should be tried for war crimes themselves after this is over. What is the line!?!?! We've dropped all pretense that this isn't a war. That makes it illegal. Period […]

[AI Bullshit, mild Mastodon critique] RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/116206874904164848 I always bring up auto-captioning as a (non-LLM) technology that is probably a net-win for accessibility, but that still led to Youtube ending up with *WORSE* closed captioning, because as soon as […]

I'm completely out of the loop on the Jirai thing, but I've seen a few critters post about being nice. If you're in that community, and Mastodon is missing features that you need, suggest them (and do research, obviously, but..). Many improvements on this platform come from new communities […]

[US Politics, preaching to the choir] "Just admit you want open borders" I do want open borders. Freedom of movement is a fundamental right. Even if it wasn't, the overwhelming evidence is that immigrants are good for American communities (documented or not). America didn't always police its […]

Is there a hashtag that charitable and volunteer organizations on the fediverse can use to request volunteer and hobby artwork/designs for promotional materials and signs? I'd like to have a clearer community I can point to (and a tag I can monitor) for organizations looking for help with this […]

[US Politics, Venezuela] RE: https://mastodon.social/@foxyoreos/115833081400682336 We are less than 24 hours into this shit and Trump has publicly in an official press conference floated the idea of doing this same thing in Mexico. I do not give a single fuck what anyone thinks about the […]

[US Politics, Venezuela] "Maduro is a dictator so-" You realize he's gonna do the same thing in other countries. He's not gonna stop. This entire administration has been him testing a line, not getting fucked for crossing it, and then testing the next line. You can trace literally all of […]

[politics, US begins bombing Venezuala] There is no curse strong enough to be suitable for this.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@foxyoreos/113665166323099226 Also I regret to inform you that after this post took off I tried to use petplay to get tech advice on this app multiple times and it didn't work, and I genuinely still feel betrayed by that. You all lied to me, you said I could get you […]

Sometimes Linux users on Mastodon can be intimidating or frustrating, so if you ever find yourself getting annoyed by one, here's my advice. Immediately reply with: "Down, puppy! Down! We don't jump up like that, it's not polite. Siit. Siiiit. Siiiiit." GOOD DOG! Who's a good puppy!? Is it […]

[Politics, Gaza (negative)] For Hillary Clinton to even *now* be downplaying Gaza after even some of the most argent pro-genocide excusers have flipped and polling consistently shows the narrative has flipped really gets at the core that this was never about polling or strategy or any of that […]

[politics (humor), self-care/food (vegan)] NYC, consider the consider the consequences: if Zohran Mamdani wins I am going to cook a big stir fry with tofu and rice and then drink an entire glass of water with a vitamin. #politics

[US Politics, Furry] RE: https://mastodon.social/@foxyoreos/115493306437418287 Also my offer for this election is that you reply to this post and let me know that you voted, I will tell you you're a good puppy/kitty/dragon/protogen and give you tummy rubs and affirmation and tell you how cute […]

[US Politics, Furry] Do you live in the US? Do you know what time it is?~ It's time for walkies to the polling place!! Awawaawaarawaarawf!!!! :3 (runs in a circle until I fall down) #politics #furry

[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 […]
