I will say though, I hope now all of you out-of-touch European politicians sees that my country is under the sway of a megalomaniac bent on world domination, and that you will welcome American defectors with open arms. At the same time, you are not inspiring confidence.

I've decided to explore deeper refuge in my practice, and will extend my hiatus from most online spaces. For now I will only post on photography related pages as photography is a meditative act for me. Find me at: [email protected] rosehlacroix.wordpress.com www.tumblr.com/swordvixen

Above all else I must protect the part of me that can still love. If I lose that I have lost everything that matters. That part of me is very challenged right now by current events. I will be scarce online as I focus on sense restraint and reflection on non-ill will and Metta (lovingkindness).

Aegreth and mountain wyrms are part of my norse inspired dwarves fantasy setting. Mountain wyrms are..."dragons". They call themselves dragons. Humans and dwarves call them dragons. But they aren't dragons. They are basically big ratbirddogs that like to eat meat, drink beer, and be naked.

PASSAGE: THE AVATAR (1988) Acrylic on Canvas - 48" x 48" Initially inspired by a few notes from a Pink Floyd instrumental track, this came to me while floating in a sensory deprivation tank. 1/4

I may need an extended time of sense restraint after the news of the last few days. I find myself mentally capable of extremely sadistic acts of revenge, and that's not who I want to be regardless of whether or not the targets of those urges "deserve it." I will be focusing on art as meditation.

I find it interesting that any time they really really need someone to lie convincingly to the base, they send out JD Vance

Tell me you're a feminist, or you're not sexist and then tell me you expect me to nurture and comfort and excuse and forgive you because I'm a woman. Tell me you think my prices are a little much. Tell me why you never do this to men.

I think it's really essential that we don't let anyone erase Good's queerness considering how much the Trumpists are trying to leverage it against her (and her family).

The agent, Jonathan Ross, was dragged by a vehicle and injured during a June operation in the Twin Cities, court records show.

The Democratic Party: Malice or Incompetence?

Has anyone here have a resplendent quetzal character? Because they are so gorgeous, and I mean, they were revered by Mesoamerican civilizations, they are even part of the inspiration behind the Quetzalcōātl!

The New York Times described a harrassment campaign that helped drive a young trans woman to suicide as "online criticisms." Today on Assigned, @evanurquhart.bsky.social responds with contained fury to New York Times piece on the suicide of Lia Smith. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Man, this is an incredible piece

Sadly the cost of living is something that does get normie votes. I agree it almost feels like a distraction at this point but the average person doesn't care who's in power as long as food is on the table. Sadly this feels really cynical coming from the DNC who cut food stamps under Obama...

Imagine being such a terrible excuse for a person that even ICE won't hire you. And yet the applicant pool is so VILE over 90% of them don't get hired.

what I am really saying here is IF ICE ISN'T PAYING YOU TO DO PR ABOUT HOW BIG AND STRONG AND UNSTOPPABLE THEY ARE, STOP DOING IT FOR FREE

(yes obviously other federal/LE agencies will back them up, but I still think it's important for people to know that ICE is not some massive army. seeing some people on here buying into puffery about how all-powerful ICE is. it really isn't, they just target people who are even less powerful.)

ICE only has about 20-30,000 employees nationwide. Including desk jobs so there's even fewer armed. It's smaller than the NYPD. There's a reason they do their mega raids on one or two cities at a time, and it's not optics. It's because that's all the dudes they've got. Something to keep in mind.

Brazil banned twitter for like two minutes once and it seriously fucked up their user base for a second. It’s a dying old man and nobody wants to punch it.

This isn’t just Apple’s responsibility basically any country on earth could put pressure on them. They have a pedophile robot. Every nation on earth is complicit at this point. Nobody wants to do anything.

Honestly think that if you pulled twitter from the App Store and shut it down it would fuck up the entire right wing ecosystem at that point. Like the entire media apparatus would fall apart.

I'm not gonna lie: I miss NFTs. I never partook in them or anything, but it was a WILD time where people were spending MILLIONS on the shiattiest fursonas and getting angry when we right-click, saved them. It was like playing "got your nose," with grown-ass adults.

Every word, a stepping stone on an amazing journey.

and i'm guessing--i don't know for sure--but guessing that some large percentage of these were responding to mental health crises

nah i stand by this shit. Right Wing ideology has no place in society and i wont tolerate it existing in my life. Fix your fucking hearts.

I don't eat meat anyway, and I don't think I would eat meat from American processors even if I did, knowing what I know now about US food safety. ☠️

I have to say, I love this particular carnyx from Tintignac, because look at him with his big floppy ears!

Among the organizations named in this order are organizations that promote freedom of expression online and organizations that monitor hybrid threats such as anti-democratic disinformation and state-sponsored terror campaigns. The US government is fucking evil.

Perfection 🐗💖🦏

As said before: If you think respecting another's gender identity is contingent on behavior, then you think trans rights are contingent on behavior. If you think trans rights are contingent on behavior, then you don't think trans rights are inalienable, and therefore human, rights.

They're banning Plato. There's an episode of Rumpole of the Bailey where a professor is so enraged by the defunding of classical teaching that he murders the dean.

NANI!?

“Jesse Watters would like to have you on his show.” @AOC: “He has sexualized and sexually harassed me on his show.” (From @migrantinsider.bsky.social )

The median white voter having to wake up to "the talk" is a different kind of reality now.

We have another victim of the carceral state here in Boston who needs to be sent to his rest. Shacoby is supposed to still be here. Help his family send him off.

These people will fire and deport you for insufficiently glazing Charlie Kirk but openly celebrate killings against perceived ideological enemies.

I would never be the one to start that chant. I would never be the one to join that chant. But I wonder if tone policing people who are nominally on your side is holding the movement against tyranny back.

Here’s where it gets interesting. There are many people like Gilbert in federal prison whose sentences are illegal. Did you know that? Instead of rushing to ensure that thousands of people illegally separated from their families were set free, DOJ decided to fight and appeal.

everythiiing🎵 I have to saaay🗣️ would get me baaanned🎷 or on a liiist🎶

Look, I think Greenland should be fully independent. I will support Denmark and their allies inasfar as they keep America's grubby hands off the place. But when the smoke clears Greenland must be free.

Completely ignoring the indigenous people who were here for tens of thousands of years AGAIN. Just give them their #landback, okay?

600+ people still showed up for Legal Observers training in Minneapolis tonight. In addition to those currently on patrol. This minute. While the vigil is happening in South Mpls.

10,000 people honoring Renee Nicole Good at the site of her murder

One of my foxish IRL traits: I have a pretty decent cold tolerance. I don't mind snow. I kind of like it.

WIP rough pass for a little Wilbur & Harold short I've been working on the last couple of months! 😼
