health insurers haven't taken in enough in premiums to account for a doubling of non-generic prescription drug costs. There would be an actual cash crunch, I think? We are being ruled by a mad king and ironically (?) he's threatening the meds that keep me sane. www.patreon.com/posts/139758...

Amid a flurry of disinformation and non-science-based medical advisories from the Department of Health and Human Services, a Democratic lawmaker Haley Stevens has indicated she is readying articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data… —Top Public Worry: Corruption —Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption —Top fear: Corruption —What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt” It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.

I have seen TWO seperate book excerpts on tumblr of unhinged shifter/animal romance novels. Nature is finally healing after omegaverse ate them all!!! I'm so happy!!! I've been SO SAD they further unfurried my mainstream furry porn I stopped even bothering to look.

If you havent joined in the effort yet, if you havent called any reps, or sent letters to paypros etc etc You can still hop on and help. Now is the time to try! Because we will only get out of this by trying! stop-paypros.neocities.org

Do you want to screen Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile in your town or city, unlike a cowardly major movie chain? Email us at [email protected]. We'll allow you to screen it for free. Yes, again, this is real.

It’s wild that Kate Nash, someone with industry/media support and a substantial fanbase, cannot afford to tour. We’ve built a system where the only profitable path for the majority of artists is absolutely not their art. It’s a system destined to kill bands before they even begin, and that sucks.

There's a Medicare telehealth cliff at the end of this month that will impact other health insurance plans beyond just Medicare. This post ⤵️ will walk you through how to effectively advocate for telehealth in ways that actually influence the outcome... www.patreon.com/posts/139596...

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Does anyone know what kind of fabric specifically they use for headphones earpads (as in, a googleable name for "extremely thin soft (fake) leather") because they do not even seem to sell earpad replacements for my very important gay skull headphones and i refuse to buy boring ones to replace these

Kimmel: "That's right. Follow the advice of Donald Trump and you too can look like a glazed ham with deep vein thrombosis."

Q: Do you support defund the police A: No Q: Do you support defunding the police A: Yes

Gonna have to double check this later when I have a minute, but if this is accurate that means Sinclair aired Jimmy Kimmel in Charleston SC despite owning the ABC affiliate here. Probably because Charleston is bright Smurf-ass blue and they didn't want to lose money.

"type of person who is Different isn't allowed because they're Unpleasant" is a fucking kids' cartoon plotline, it cannot get more on-the-nose than this

@pyreflydust.bsky.social you mentioned medibang android malfunctioning wrt transparency awhile ago, but i just tried to send a transparent png that is 100% exported right in my ipad gallery but will not upload as such in ANY app once I hit send and idk what the fuck is going on with it

If the teen daughter of two A-list stars had picked a media friendly cause to advocate for, I’d imagine their would be profiles and photo shoots of her in every women/teen-aimed magazine in the country. And yet.

So like Meta glasses probably require a login right? As in a facebook one with identifying info? Hypothetically, if you stole some off their faces couldn't you doxx them?

YES. AGH. willful misrepresentation can go either way. people can report porn they don't like and claim it's noncon just based on vibes, and people can swear up and down that the noncon they just posted is 100% consensual. and how do you moderate that? i wager: by cracking down in absurd ways 🙃

Tbh you can justify a lot of life choices like this by measuring in therapy appointment costs. Could 2 therapy match the joy of 12' skeleton? Not for me. In fact I just did the math out and the lost value of my 8 yr old car is now down to having cost me about 1 therapy a month. Totally worth it.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I'm actually kinda annoyed they folded so fast because I'm willing to bet some people who don't watch his show might've missed it even happened still and it won't even force then to confront what's happening. This was bad enough to deserve LONG TERM consequences for them and they might be let off.

The fact that Sinclair can throw its weight against *any national network* because it owns tons of their affiliates speaks to what media competition actually looks like in the United States. It's more or less one boss for every major TV channel, just managed in an obscure and opaque manner.

You look at every culture that's ever existed and the running theme is everyone pretty much just wants to play/dance to music, make art, eat stewed meat wrapped in flat bread, and tell stories about the shapes we find in the stars. Somehow we turned that into wars and overtime and profit margins.

No particular reason

New TOS censorship of fictional adult content is a massive overreach and makes this definitively not a free and open platform. It demonizes survivors and silences artists. Everyone is telling you a much healthier way is to give us better tools, like more robust labels, to moderate ourselves

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE

Uhhhh am I missing something or is this not just two minutes of Charlie Kirk getting thoroughly pwned (including by himself)???

i'm against the new TOS because no matter how uncomfortable you are with certain subjects, it's very easy to see how bad-faith interpretations of art could be weaponized, especially against marginalized artists, who are more likely to be targeted for harassment #bskycensorship

“Trey’s death evoked the collective memory of a community that has suffered a historic wound over many, many years and many, many deaths." Colin Kaerpernick is paying for an independent autopsy for Demartravion “Trey” Reed, a Mississippi college student who was found hanging from a tree.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

That doesn't really seem to matter to them though, does it. They decided it was trans people to blame. Not any one in particular, just the mere existence of trans people. Absolutely nothing to back that up, but it doesn't matter. They don't care about truth. Only extermination.

If you want to push back against censorship, here’s some actions to take. Censoring *yourself* is not the way. Please listen to those who are most affected (nsfw artists) and what they’re asking us to do which is not to be silent!

Oh jaywalking is legal in Massachusetts and I wasn't stupid for not knowing about it until my 20s I guess Sorry to inferior states where it's legal to hit pedestrians, here you have right of way if you make eye contact.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

Squinting in Middle East Studies

We once had a song called "the internet is for porn" and that's aging worse with every day.

I suspect even if you as a voter hate trans people, the fact that someone like Kamala Harris has so perceptibly turned the transphobia knob back and forth while looking to the audience for approval, showing she does not actually believe in anything, is way more offputting than the supposed wokeness

Also, Democrats have run many pro-life candidates in the South over the last 20 years. They almost always lose. This is not some novel idea! The fact that leading figures in the party are suggesting this is an original thought further illustrates the problem. abcnews.go.com/Politics/mis...

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

I'm sorry, worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable permission to my voice and likeness? For what now? In any manner for any purpose??? This is in academia/.edu's new ToS, which you're prompted to agree to on login. Anyway I'll be jumping ship. You can find my stuff at hcommons.org.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

"What do you expect Democrats to do!?!???'

Btw it's 76,000 now and going up every minute....

One of the sillier aspects of combating issues like this is that as the corpos start to realize they don’t actually have wide support, they start going silent. CS did the same after about the 3rd week The lack of feedback can have a pseudo-chilling effect on activists, don’t let it Do those dailies

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.
