Also: Americans ARE protesting, and the Epstein-class-owned media just fuckin' refuses to cover it.

If you ever go visit Rome and go see the spot Caesar got got, it's a really great bonus that it's currently a sanctuary for feral cats like this one, who get to laze about in the crumbling remnants of a fallen empire. As we all do, these days. D7200. May, 2024.

Bartender mentioned she was buying kinder eggs while in Europe, trying to get the pink triceratops toy. I do a quick search for 'kinder pink triceratops', go to the kinder page, and... uh... don't always just trust the web translation tool

It is so hard to be trans right now, y’all. Like, I can’t speak for everyone but I’m white-knuckling it pretty much constantly at this point. I hope cis people are understanding how much is at stake for us in this moment: It’s literally our right to exist as ourselves that is being stripped away.

the demo for my Castlevania-like "Lady Dracula" that i've been making since 2023 currently has less than 100 reviews. you can help me survive as a starving artist by trying it out (15-30 minute playtime) and leaving a brief (maybe a sentence) review here: store.steampowered.com/app/4044270/...

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative. 1. Cooking for your friends, and having potluck (of any size) with them 2. On-the-spot road trip games with loved ones 3. The old-man sigh cats do when they achieve total relaxation while lying across you

Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment. Beautiful.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail." People in my mentions: "Lmao are you REALLY a luddite? smh"

It would be *so* funny if it happened today, of all days.

To everyone who wants to vilify trans people: Trans people aren’t raising your rents or driving up your costs. To every trans person: We see you, we love you, you belong here, and you deserve to be who you are.

Speechless.

the universe is telling me to give voyager a chance

therapy doesn't fix your problems, but it makes you emotionally strong enough to put them in a headlock and give them a swirlie, and that's kind of awesome in and of itself. oh you you wanna make me cry thing in my head? get dunked you idiot. go towel off while I get back to loving myself.

Morning.

That's a fucking bar.

New from @midimyers.com, a take we’re quite honestly sick of having to argue. www.mothership.blog/you-know-wha...

ECONOMY: SHAMBLES OIL: $300 PER BARREL COUNTRY: ON FIRE REPUBLICANS: Hey man can i look in your child's pants? Just for a second man is it cool if i inspect your child's genitals. Just a quick little look man it's totally cool i just need to make sure you're not doing crimes. Just a quick touch man-

i cannot believe we are into year 2 of the groyper regime, the camps are open and the state is revoking id's, and we are still getting "oppressed minorities are kinda rude on the internet :/" hand-wringing yeah we're a little tense right now, believe it or not. fucking shut the fuck up about it

HOW MANY GOTHS HAVE BEEN ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL THIS WHOLE TIME

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

I live in the state of California, he's my governor, I voted for him in 2018, and he's the worst piece of trash imaginable. He hates the trans community, he's criminalized being homeless in a state where hardworking people are one missed paycheck from the street. He had Bannon on his podcast

Truly a perfect news alert

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

sooo psyched about this four-part series on silent hill! part 1 is, naturally, all about silent hill 1 www.mothership.blog/silent-hill-...

I'm one of the people who loves this time change, but it doesn't mean I'm not on my back foot a bit: Instead of pouring frozen berry mix into my breakfast bowl to thaw in the microwave, I poured in frozen shrimp. [at least I clocked it before I started the microwave]

Gavin Newsom is not going to earn the transgender vote Instead of yelling at transgender people, you can take one of two actions: 1. you can wager that your preferred candidate can win without the transgender vote or 2. you can use the two years ahead of you find a better candidate to promote

Hey, this is quite big! Hadn't checked the bill until now (PDF); it really is removing sex work related sanctions! Including sex work itself. ❤️ (Yes, minors and trafficking is still illegal. None on those is removed). There's apparently a hearing this Wednesday. leg.colorado.gov/bills/SB26-097 🤞

Mainstream America: We are obsessed with Heated Rivalry and Drag Race. We love them and can't get enough. American Democrat politicians: LGBT people are not culturally normal. We will not speak of them.

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now. PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

When it’s 630pm this evening and it’s still light out, it is legitimately one of the happiest moments of my year.

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say: If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD. You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it. I've made my calls today. You need to.

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

adding alt text. stand up for us before it’s too late, cis folks.

"The data labelers in Kenya described seeing footage of people naked, watching porn, and talking about crimes and protests. Faces are often blurred, the story said, but sometimes are visible, depending on the lighting."

Had to get some rough dental work done today, but at one point my dentist was like 'Wow, you have a really strong tongue, has anyone every told you that?". Ma'am. Don't ask a queer person that question in any kind of professional context.

To my Canadian friends, an acquaintance started a petition to allow US transgender citizens to claim refugee status here. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... If you’re Canadian please sign it. If you’re not, please share ❤️

The mechanic removed the back plate and inhaled through pursed lips. "Who did this?" "I did," the robot said. "How?" "I took one arm off, put in a wireless interface so I could still use it, and put it in a vice, then turned-" "OK. Why?" "I needed fixing." "You are allowed to ask for help."

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
