Senate Democrats are CURRENTLY negotiating a plan to INCREASE ICE funding by another 10%

Tis the season where I send 700 emails out to random people and hope they email me back. Career Day season :)

This is what people on Fox are like. People watch Fox because they like this.

"Nuance" meaning "cops encountered a situation regular Americans deal with every single day and responded with murderous gunfire"

Also, look: a sad fact is a lot of Americans cannot extend their empathy to all of humanity but can extend it to some people who are more similar to them. I agree this represents a moral deficiency but it's more urgent for us to take power than it is to correct the moral failing of many Americans.

Every ICE officer should be tried for crimes against humanity.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

Twitch suspended a VTuber after incorrectly assuming she was "under the minimum age required in your region." As she wrote, Twitch has her "tax information as an affiliate," so the false age flag makes zero sense

In a healthy society everything would have immediately gone on hold until everyone responsible for this was torn apart by horses in a public arena but what can i say this is not a healthy society

I don't know man I think the fact that a massive social media platform has a built in tool to take a picture of a child and put them in a bikini should be a society altering scandal especially in a society that has been repeatedly curtailing our civil liberties under the banner of "protecting kids"

Hands off Venuzela means hands off Cuba, Columbia, Iran, Somalia, Palestine, Yemen, Nigeria, fuckin Greenland - if you let ONE nation become an exception you let them ALL become targets for US imperialist pillage & ruin. Be angry & take it to a worthy space. Make them fear you as they should.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture. In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.

"How can you write pornographic fanfic if you're asexual?", we ask, as though your average allosexual fanfic author DOES have first-hand experience with getting railed by a werewolf with a two-foot cock.

Surely nobody is this stupid. *Yes*, we will say that: we will roar, screech, foam at the mouth and squeal, and if any notable says “Isn’t this a bit like the US kidnapping the leader of Venezuela” then our politicians and media outlets will unify to scream abuse at them, too. Yet again!

No one supports a war in Venezuela btw

I would like to direct all speeders to this chart

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

we should publicly execute billionaires in ways that scare people

jesus, he was younger than me. what a shocking loss.

If the US invested in child care and had national policies like paid leave comparable to other industrialized countries, we would generate $775 billion of economic activity a year. The question should not be, “how can we afford to do this?” The question is, “how can we afford not to?” Let’s do this.

There is ongoing scam happening posing as a black trans safe house in Texas. The fake org is "Black Trans Texas Connection." There is an IG page @blacktransscam that verifies its nonexistence by checking w local orgs in its supposed operating city of Houston. 👇

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

Please be aware of possible scams! My client, Mel Curth, is not seeking any donations at this time. She is grateful for your support and instead requests folks that want to help to donate to the local organizations of your choice!

*AAA game protag voice* I should beat my shit crazy style. Hmm. Lotion. Could come in handy later. Heh. Handy. Should probably beat off first. Should probably beat my shit before doing that. I'm not leaving until i beat my shit.

It's kinda heartbreaking to see so many artists being like "can I post about OCs and not just fanart?", "can I talk about other stuff?", "can I post often?" because the other hellsite literally punished you for doing...normal things you do as an artist - as a person, even.

"please welcome the voices of huntrix" no they're just huntrix now. they're huntrix and they fight demons

Day 4! I don't feel well bc Christmas is hard, so this is a bit of a cop-out as well. Oh well. #brushweek2025

liberals are finding new ways to be abnormal about transness and i'm so flummoxed

call us old fashioned but, if you've built a machine that makes child porn, we really don't care if can do anything else. unplug the machine.

Day 3! Wasn't feeling this theme super hard TBH, but the idea of a flower cloak was singing to me.

Day two! Went with sort of an old school Strawberry Shortcake/Raggedy Ann vibe bc my fiancé pointed out how the yarn hair can be played with. Get you a girl who can kick ass but also loves soft fluffy things. #brushweek2025

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.

Brush week day one!! Going to be drawing my transfem elf character, Valkyrie "Kyra," bc her hair being textured is going to force me out of my comfort zone with drawing hair. :) #brushweek2025

in case this wasn't clear looking at my posts, i have never used AI in my games and never will. any mistakes and missteps and oopsie-doopsies are purely human-made

I would like to articulate one of the BIGGEST misconceptions about cat breed genetics by talking about the NEBELUNG! An extremely rare breed with only SIX(6) in the whole US, and no breeders, yet one that thousands of folk online are convinced they own. Your cat is NOT any breed, and that's okay.

It's your birthday, Duane.

I cannot state any more baldly or clearly than I already have about what an immense menace RFK Jr. is. The number of preventable illnesses and deaths - of *babies* - will be horrific. This anti-vax crap is grotesque anti-science, and always has been.

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

The FDA is full of shit and I'm pretty sure doesn't have a valid legal basis for this but that's not going to stop them intimidating these small businesses.

Furry is closer to a Punk counter culture society than a fandom which is why hating Furries is extremely conservative brained behavior

I mean POTS is one of a huge number of reasons someone might use a wheelchair sometimes. More common ones are just not being able to stand for a long time or walk long distances. Sometimes people go with a wheelchair for better safe than sorry reasons.
