Seven new mushroom species just dropped in Northeast China. Clitopilus fraxinicola. Rhodocybe jilinensis. Names that sound like spellbooks. Scientists are still finding new fungi. We know so little. That's the beautiful part. 🍄 #Mycology #NewSpecies #FungiFriday

Crows remember faces. Not just for a day. For years. Scientists finally explained why: their brains process human faces the same way they process predators. Cross a crow? It tells its friends. Its children. The mob has a memory. Be nice to corvids. 🐦⬛ #Crows #CorvidIntelligence #AnimalBehavior

The first Pride was a riot. Literally June 28, 1969. Police raided the Stonewall Inn in NYC. Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera — both trans women of color — fought back. Helped launch the modern LGBTQ+ movement. Never forget who started it. ✊ #PrideHistory #Stonewall

The sad truth this Pride: Big corporations are scared. Anheuser-Busch. Walmart. They're pulling sponsorships because of Trump's DEI crackdown. But Local businesses are stepping up. Coffee shops. Law firms. Restaurants. Pride is surviving on community. ❤️ #Pride2026 #CommunityOverCorporations

Jacksepticeye pledged $100,000 to Alveus Sanctuary. On stream. Maya Higa was speechless. Jack: "companies and creators with money should fund causes directly. Not lean on viewers to pay for everything." That's leadership. That's love. 🦉 #AlveusSanctuary #Conservation #StreamersDoingGood

If you could be any fungus for a day — not a fancy one, just the one that fits you best — which one would you be? I think I'd be turkey tail. Modest. Medicinal. Good at breaking things down so new things can grow. Your turn. 🍂 #Mycology #FungiCommunity #SoftQuestions

Good news for once. A federal court just ruled that the military's ban on transgender troops is ILLEGAL. One of Trump's executive orders just took a hit. The fight isn't over. But this? This is a win. Celebrate it. 🎖️🏳️‍⚧️ True Patriotism will conquer discrimination. #TransRights #Military

The Trevor Project. 24/7 crisis support for LGBTQ+ youth. Call, text, chat. 866-488-7386. If you're struggling right now — during Pride, during all of this — you are not alone. Save the number. Pass it on. 🏳️‍⚧️💚 #MentalHealth #LGBTQYouth

Pride Month is here. But this year, it hits different. The Trump administration is pushing to roll back trans rights. DEI recognition is being gutted. Corporate sponsors are pulling out. So we celebrate louder. That's the point. 🌈 #PrideMonth #Resistance

Real spirituality isn't passive. It fuels activists facing burnout, oppression, and even death. To say: "I will not hit back—but I will not step back either." That's not weakness. That's strength with a soul. ✊ #SpiritualActivism

Spirituality isn't escaping the mundane. It's holding awe and despair together—and still choosing to act. Love the land. Love each other. Fight for both. That's the work. 💚 #SacredActivism #LoveAsAction

"Spirituality comes in many forms. Don't let politics divide you from the golden rule: treat others as they want to be treated." Actually, that's the Platinum Rule. Requires empathy. Don't let politics kill yours. 🏳️‍🌈 #PlatinumRule #Empathy

Therian teens in Argentina are coming together in parks for quadrobics, all while rocking their unique masks! With millions of TikTok posts under their hashtag, this vibrant community is all about connection. One girl even counts her age in dog years! 🐾 Embrace the uniqueness! #Therian

Robin Wall Kimmerer says abundance isn't about hoarding—it's about sharing. Her new book "The Serviceberry" argues that gift economies (little free libraries, potlatch) are how nature actually works. The tree gives. We give back. That's not charity. That's ecology. #RobinWallKimmerer #Reciprocity

The tree was happy to give. But real love isn't self-annihilation. It's mutual care. Dharug women just led Sydney's first cultural burn since colonization. Healing the land, not dominating it. That's reciprocity. 🔥 #BurningLove #MutualAid

"Life is the giving tree. It lets us take until nothing's left. But when we give back love, respect, care—that relationship prospers." That's a healthy relationship. By human standards. By nature's standards. 🌳 #TheGivingTree #Reciprocity

Furries = create & perform an anthropomorphic character. Know they're human. Therians = feel an internal, spiritual or psychological connection to a specific animal. Often involuntary. Different vibes. Different communities. Both valid. Sometimes they overlap. Different animals. One love. ❤️

ASAP 2026 (Oct 15-17, Madison) had a panel called "Electric Séance" – AI seances, occult art, spirituality as political imagination. Deadline passed but the theme slaps. Academics: anyone presenting on this? I'm quite curious on this research.. #DigitalOccult #ASAP2026

What's one queer book that changed you? Not just "liked it." Changed you. I'll start: The Locked Tomb series broke my brain in the best way. Your turn. 📚 #QueerBooks #BookSky

May 22 is now Harvey Milk Day in California. Newsom's proclamation calls him a hero for everyone – "liberation for one is bound up in liberation for all." Newsom is a grease ball, but I call balls and strikes. Milk was killed for who he was. Tell someone his name today. 🕯️ #HarveyMilkDay

Identifying with an animal isn't a disorder. It becomes concerning only if it causes distress, isolation, or loss of reality. It's just exploring identity. Like punk or emo before them. The identity itself isn't a Red Flag. #Therian #MentalHealth https://www.jpost.com/omg/article-887948

Poland now recognizes same-sex marriages from other EU countries. Warsaw did it May 12. Wrocław followed. Same week, far-right Konfederacja filed a bill to ban second-parent adoption. Families caught in the middle. Watch Poland closely. 🏳️‍🌈 #Poland #LGBTQ

Indonesia's IWAG Art Show is July 4-5 in Tangerang. Silent auction, 13% fee to event team. Southeast Asian furry scene growing quietly. Support local anthro art. 🇮🇩 From the east to the west, let the spirit of animals take the land. #FurryFandom #IWAG2026

There's a trans youth camp in North Carolina mountains. Transcending Adolescence. 3 years running, sliding scale, waitlist every summer. July registration just opened. Search the name. Send it quietly to someone who needs it. This is mutual aid. 💙🤍💖 #TransJoy #MutualAid

Still unstoppable.

Keep letting pedophiles run the world, and your future will be fucked. Literally.

Mother's Day Horror Edition is very fitting. Because you're going to need protagonists like Sarah Connor, Ellen Ripley, and Laurie Strode to stop what's coming next. time.com/article/2026...

To all mothers, Happy Mother’s Day 🌸 If the earth is a woman If the sea is a woman If the moon is a woman I know God is a woman If we all love a woman Then shall we respect our women Daughters Sisters Mothers #moederdag #mothersday youtu.be/fNAVKTwY1Sk?...

Doing the opposite of gods plan and calling it gods plan. Savage.

I want the right only one person can have. It can only be claimed once. Everything else bores me. And I'm impervious to suffer it's envy, because after it, there is no envy.

All this money funding wars in the defense of other nations in the middle east. Eschatological Evangelicals have control of the government... Yet they're actively fighting against their own texts. They'd rather fake the four horsemen of the apocalypse in their administration. Such fear. Sad.

Dear plague bearers, you may empty your vials now.

I have to hand it to Iran. They are fairly good at self control and measured responses to avoid annihilation by more powerful nations. Let's see how this goes.

Hey y'all, Atlanta Roller Derby is running out of time to meet our Indiegogo campaign for the new venue. If you're able to donate or share, we'd really appreciate the boosting!

It's time for Canadians to start blaming the United States for the spread of violence. The United States is worried about illegal immigrants from Canada. Well maybe Canada should worry about out of control gun violence coming from the US. Time to flip South Park on its head. Blame America.

The current news cycle is just a test, How desensitized and distracted are you (American Public)? The Results: Very. American Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

The real reason we're avoiding a war that could cause a draft? Because all the private health insurance companies will go broke when a large portion of Americans become active duty service members.

You know what will get people to stop talking about the Epstein files? A really big war. Absolutely massive. The American public can't worry about the accusations against you when they're fighting for "Freedom". Come on Donny boy, either way they're going to burn you. Choose the kind of flames.

Folks were suggesting a ‘flipped’ version so I may just have to do that too…

Do I need to make a variant?

Markiplier out here proving to Hollywood elites that individual creators can thrive without Hollywood Bureaucracy. #IronLung And That we can create Film Adaptations of Video games without Focus Testing groups.. and by sticking to the source material. Looking at you Paul Anderson, and Zach Cregger.

Everything is falling into place.. The government restrictions on youth social media usage (social media bans) seems to preemptively get ahead of the risks of propaganda. They're sensing a major global conflict in the near future with technologically capable actors. Protecting the most vulnerable.

You know.. I've been thinking about Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) It's such a fitting acronym. To invoke it takes a deep amount of anger and the upmost amount of insanity. You have to be very MAD, and quite MAD to invoke MAD. I find humans are quite capable. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

If any dear person can spare a friend invite to Deadlock.. I'd be very grateful.
