‘Soup’ was a slang term for drugs that were injected into a horse to make it run faster. A racehorse that was on PEDs was said to be ‘souped up.’ We now use the term to refer to anything that is enhanced.

Friend of a friend needs help

Hey. Im going through a big issue right now. I just got laid off my job right before being able to afford this months round of groceries. Its been about 3 days since I last ate and I am in dire need of help. My cashapp is $neonwulff87. Please repost so others can see. Anything helps

having blusky's set to make you click-through to see anything flagged as "adult content" is great, because it's like a little surprise present. 90% of the time its an anime girl in a bikini the remaining 10% someone is trying to insert an entire washing machine into their ass

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

also a traditional piece I did of Ka'Din once. maybe I'll refine this later. was meant to be slightly 'Appleseed' / 'Dominion Tank Police' in inspiration.

Hi my name is Julie and I want to see my son this Christmas. I lost my job in February and I was unable to be there for his birthday this year. Missing the holidays would mean it would be a year since we were in the same state gofund.me/4fd1c660a #helpsky #fundsky #MutualAid #MutualAidrequest

There was one thing that none of my mentors told me about life in a large bookshop.... The pages of 45000+ books slurp a lot of water out of the air 📚 The humidity in here is currently 25%. When the temperature drops, it can get down to 20%. Nobody warned me I'd need gallons of moisturizer 🙄

Only a person easily bribed would think that everyone else is easily bribed. $1776 to the soldiers. $1500 to you, to cover a lifetime of medical expenses. $2000 tariff refund. A man with billions of dollars thinks you can be bought for 2 grand.

... I guess this is why transmeds, the 'truscum' meangirls out there, get under my skin so badly. They look at this same suffering, and instead of seeing peers and siblings, they see scapegoats and outgroups to use as human shields. Being "one of the good ones" won't save you.

I guess I'm sorry I have to be political and confrontational about existence. I'm sorry to my few cis followers who don't understand why this porn artist has to talk about this shit. I wish we lived in a world where I could focus on drawing instead of fear of looking mourning.

Thinking about how we don't know what a non-traumatized autistic adult looks like because all of them are by being raised in an allo-centric society that treats them as failed people who need to be fixed. We were on the cusp of seeing what beauty might be found in a trans life without suffering.

They can burn out books, our history, our bodies. Being trans lives on. But I want better. I want better for me, for you, for trans kids. I want transness to not be mandatorily defined by struggle and suffering.

I take some solace in knowing this is a doomed path they walk. The real Nazis tried to erase us too and failed. You CAN'T kill the idea of transness. So many trans people invent it from base principles of their lives. But you can kill trans people, the idea lives, but my loved ones might die.

Time to give myself the radical pep talk my therapist was a little too liberal to say: Finding a way to use this looming dread as fuel. I draw my soft shapes and blushing faces because they deserve to exist more than any conservative ideal. Spite is an ugly fuel, but it burns all the same.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Indie Dev discovers the game they're making basically already exists, worried of being deemed a ripoff. Original dev responds.

“I already ‘knew’ it, but this article made me actually understand it.” Clear thinking encoded in clear writing gives a name and a shape to fuzzy experiences and feelings, making them being real and actionable. Exposition is a valuable contribution.

Work in progress but I already love it like this,, #wip #digitalart #ocsky #artsky

To capture funding and ride the wave of the AI bubble, a variety of institutions (commercial and otherwise) have pivoted to calling their machine learning applications "AI." The paper I am linking below explains what's going on here. But there's also more to it than that!

My apologies to anyone who has casually asked me what my ideal superpower would be, because I cannot be normal about the answer. #transfur #tfeveryday

an entire generation losing their minds that their children and grandchildren would DARE to do anything they don't understand and turning the full might of the world's imperial powers against the people they profess to love most

I’m running out of words to describe this ugly, vile piece of shit who’s squatting in the people’s house right now. Imagine the uproar if any other president before him had put out this message after Rob Reiner and his wife were brutally murdered. Fuck all the way off Donald Trump! 🖕

Look, I just have the thoughts and anxieties. It's up to the theory/philosophy perverts to invent the right words to actually say them. I'm just a silly lady with a headache and societal depression.

There's just something so sinister about how something will go from a very useful took for someone who's disabled, to being a whimsical thing for the masses, and then the people who actually need it are treated as just one of the whimsy seekers. There's probably a whole ass single word for this?

Struggling for words for this right now, but very bothered by how text-to-speech and markov chains were actually useful "AI" and how they're now being overshadowed by their shittier Plagiarism Hallucination Machine versions... And the life cycle of accessibility tool to toy/luxury.

Attempting yet again to draw all the people in my head. Here's Nell of Raemou, Keyah's illegal direct clone. She was once a tool of the Action Party (the fascists), made to be Keyah's evil twin, more or less. She was too rebellious, so her father shot her in the back and tossed her into space.

One of the best pieces of writing advice I got for my book was "assume a friendlier audience" I used to do a lot of posting on Twitter, and politically organizing with semi-reluctant community members -- and I didn't realize how much that shifted my writing style til I was working on the book

WATCH: Bystander disarms active shooter at Bondi Beach in Sydney

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Every day in trauma recovery, wake up & take time to identify what you want to feel. One of our biggest vulnerabilities as survivors is going on autopilot. Our autopilot was programmed by our bullies & abusers, & will steer us toward feeling like garbage. Take the wheel.

Green Arrow more than said "Fuck Ice" #GreenArrow #NoBorders #FuckIce #EmeraldArcher 1. This is how the story "Sanctuary" from Detective Comics #551-552 started. Back then was INS. The kid showed his passport after this, but his brother is not in the same situation.

yeah this is the part of Nate-style popularism that bothers me the most - the idea that having principles is not smart and not savvy and generally beneath them the result is treating public opinion as immutable because how can you change people’s minds if you don’t believe in anything yourself
