No secret that USA christonationalists swear by their "calvinist work ethic". Imo, the fact that they share a cultural sphere is a cause enough: no euroamerican idea ever since christianity ever escaped its influence, from humanism to white supremacism.

I painted the nonbinary sea.

Religion has zero place in healthcare. Religious organisations should not be able to object to abortion, transition, vaccination, or any other form of medicine they may choose to have an issue with tomorrow. Enough of this nonsense.

Flawless logic, guys

It truly is amazing how awful and useless Google search is now.

Now that the pope has denounced AI and encouraged everyone to avoid it, that means people can now refuse it at your job on religious grounds. If they make them do it anyway, then the company can enjoy a lawsuit. :)

TRUE. while i genuinely cannot appreciate his work for its honestly failhorror values, that's one thing i can (albeit derogatorily)

Hey, New York Times, this is a ceasefire violation, not a “truce faltering.”

I'm finally posting the final version of this painting. I got to display it as part of a gallery exhibition. it was pretty cool 😄 painting space is fun. I want to do it more acrylic on canvas

"We already live in a world where you walk outside and there are billboards and signs that are obvious AI slop. That’s become part of our visual reality. To me, generative AI feels less like innovation than a symptom of a broader cultural and economic rot." King. 🙏

Online has often been a refuge but consider whether it still actually is. Maybe stick to private social spaces (servers, group chats) and try to deemphasize news flows and scrolls. Whatever it takes, we're gonna make it through this year, and they're gonna fall before us. Stay alive my love

Trans folks: as best you can, tune out the headlines, spend time with one another, build friendship and community. This wave is going to break: their political projects have never been less popular. Were gonna make it through this year and on the other side all our enemies will fall. Stay alive

If Mario is the Mickey of gaming, does that make Sonic the Bugs Bunny?

The problem with cis society is that they don't see anything wrong with forcing trans kids through natal puberty because they think natal puberty is "normal" and "normal" is the default and therefore good. Just like white people see whiteness as the default and therefore good.

I sincerely do not understand the fascination with AI in law, considering a single detail can sink entire cases.

A short rant about sci-fi weapons: Caseless ammo is not the future of guns. It is a technology that was abandoned because it sucks. The actual future of ammo is polymer-cased telescoped ammo, using electrothermal ignition instead of a firing pin.

• Have conversations with people who don't really follow this stuff, but have probably been exposed to the anti-trans propaganda saturating the mainstream media. rtie.org/resources/tr...

notinourname.org.uk needs a bump.

Cis women are strongly encouraged to sign the @nionwomen.bsky.social letter, and probably sign up for their newsletter too. The way that the anti-trans campaign masquerades as feminism is one of its grossest features. bsky.app/profile/kirs...

Soulslike boss that riffs on the Black Knight sketch from "Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail" where every time you hit a new phase you hack off a limb, and somehow it keeps getting harder. Most guides recommend cheesing burst DPS to skip the hopping-on-one-leg phase because it's plain unfair.

"I know some other late-diagnosed autistics had a much more stressful home life. At the same time, I didn’t have the understanding and support that I needed." We talked with autistic author and comedy writer @laurarichmond.bsky.social, at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2026/06/auti... #autism

The horn of Africa is grieving because their -Their farms are no longer yielding -Advancement of desert is alarming -Our major rivers are drying -Proliferation of pest and pathogens -Development of tropical diseases. -Our crop are dieing out. Climate change is a reality.

Trans people have always been on the frontlines in the global struggle against fascism. For years, trans people have been sounding the alarm that their very existence is under attack.

Anyways, agriculture becomes a superior form of subsistence to hunting and gathering somewhere around the Bronze age - we can see this from skeletal data (as well as the fact that Neolithic farmers lived shorter and less healthy levels than HGs) www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

This is, like, basically correct, with the real problem being the conclusion that agriculture is STILL a net negative for us It was absolutely a net negative for Neolithic peoples (who adopted agriculture mainly due to not having other options), but tech has made it better than the alternatives!

Honored to work with badass trans folks at TNN who are staunchly against "AI" in journalism.

Daily reminder #2 that EVERYONE has a rich history of leftism, you just don't know about it

ICYMI: A Tokyo suburb's plan to close four of its six libraries triggered a citizen revolt that ended with voters electing a Communist-backed mayor, flipping 6,000 votes from people who'd never supported the JCP before.

Daily reminder the fact that All People Are Equal is NOT to be confused with "all opinions are equal". Opinions are not people and they are made to be unequal.

my conspiracy theory around this stuff is that it's way too hard at this point to make literacy a proper class differentiator again what with the proliferation of education so the rich are trying to create a functional illiteracy epidemic to once again have the divide that served them so well

whenever i stumble upon a Youtube video who's thumbnail was very obviously AI generated i immediately think of this gem.

Just as the European members of NATO are creating their own nuclear umbrella, under France, the Eastern nations of Japan & S Korea are looking at ‘sharing’ nukes. The lack of confidence in US promises* is leading to a more dangerous world.

not a single denomination for any world religion other than Christianity. "evangelical" is not a denomination. Unitarian Universalists shunned. All Mormons are LDS now. Denies "belief coding" for atheist and inter-faith groups. Sectarianism is military policy now

American auto makers will have to compete or die and I am completely okay with that.

its hard to overstate how absurd how it is that every dipshit white guy now has a political opinion on how, when, and whether me and people like me should be legally allowed to receive healthcare

Links here where you can donate to support a trans woman who is facing felony charges for defending herself against fascists.

The loudest voices of outrage re: foreign interference come from Conservatives. Yet the Cons rely on or take advantage of foreign interference for many of their vile causes. Ex: the Klown Konvoy, AB separation, anti-immigration stance, pro-Big Oil views, MAGA playbook, anti-science, etc etc ...

NEW: There's a lot of anti-foreigner rhetoric in Japan these days. That doesn't stop foreign residents from doing what they can to improve their communities. Case in point: a 24yo Nepali combini worker in Kobe who was given an award for stopping fraud.

On 'splinter skills': "Often autistic ppl are really very good at things we’re good at. Mostly the skills are the result of putting a lot of work in because we’re interested in it, not that we always have much control over where our interest takes us." @stimpunks.org: stimpunks.org/glossary/spi...

The "Elvis sighting" thing is hilarious because the first career Elvis impersonators began working 20 years before the guy even died. I wonder why a public figure who has a whole industry of people who look and sound like him would generate an unusual number of posthumous sightings? It Is A Mystery.
