It still surprises me when white trans folx decide to be racist assholes. Like, you’re pretty marginalized and you choose to punch down and choose your whiteness over anything in your life. It just doesn’t make sense.

Because I am a terrible influence, I am delighted/dismayed to inform people I have found a maker of gluten-free marshmallow fluff in Scotland. I'm sorry/you're welcome. phlump.co.uk

I...I have been keeping quiet on this but I was in a homeless camp in the 90s with a lot of Vietnam vets who had been put on the street by Reagan. They were there because they knew they were dangerous, and guns weren't anywhere near as available as now. Trump killed Vet M.H months ago.

(1/3) 📢 We’re proud to add our voice to the Women Against the Far Right Scotland by signing the open letter rejecting the far right’s racist rhetoric which only seeks to exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division. #WomenAgainstFarRight #Solidarity #OpenLetter

So got a rush of new followers, Hi I’m Des I’m a environmental artist who posts lots of references photos, learning woodwork and shares and try’s to highlight and support as many creatives regardless of medium long as it’s not generative ai nonsense so hope yea enjoy and cheers.

The worst part of racism isn't the racists, it's all your white friends who are either shocked or can't believe racism and microaggressions happen on a regular basis. I lived next to a racist neighbour in SW1. I'd tell friends what was going on: friends told me it was "energy related." Dafuq?

Some of you people thinking "British ID cards are fine" clearly have absolutely no Black friends, and it shows.

ANU's Professor van Haren, said: "Inhaled heparin is anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant. There's no other drug that has that unique combination."

While I do a slow recovery struggle back to what I hope is baseline - I am stubbornly refusing to accept this as my new normal without a fight - hubs and I are redoing the Boodwaah storage so I can finally have some space to store my paints and brushes. 3D printer is paying off, ngl.

So exhausting..

You are unintentionally gaslighting those of us who KNOW we would be disabled in ANY version of the world no matter how many changes might hypothetically be made to accommodate our differences. And please... PLEASE believe us. Thank you.

THIS is what "autism is a disability" means. If you have ever said to an autistic person that their autism wouldn't be a disability if the world were built for autistic people... I implore you... please don't.

Even if it doesn't feel disabling to every autistic person, THIS is why the classification matters. For those of us who absolutely ARE disabled by our brain wiring. And there are a LOT of us.

And even if no other humans existed on the planet with me, my brain would STILL be triggered and I would STILL be severely impacted by my brain wiring. The only universe where my autism isn't triggering and disabling is one in which I, myself, do not exist... not with this brain wiring.

I'm disabled by my autism because my brain is triggered into a state of extreme anxiety and distress by the mere existence of other humans. (People breathing "too loudly" near me is enough to give me heart palpitations.)

I don't know who needs to see this, but my autism would still be disabling to me even if society were completely reconstructed to meet every one of my social needs. I am not disabled by my autism because of social constructs...

Support @transrescueaction.bsky.social in paying the first-months rent of a trans couple in their relocation w/ a service animal. Venmo: @WeKeepUsSafeCA to help reach their goal!

I am uncertain if this is of interest to @lycomorpha.bsky.social but what the hell, it's rather impressive. youtu.be/03pPySnPI88?...

I have been screaming this from the rooftops, and I'd like to see a similar initiative here in the UK. We have to teach younger people to care about the elderly, to not see pensioners as a future inheritance payout, but as people. Compassion must be taught. youtu.be/XyshVLyqvjc?...

We have allowed the lazy, grifting Silicon Valley charlatans into the front door, & in doing so, we have learned just how many of our own colleagues & administrators simply are not interested in the actual business of education. It's incredibly demoralizing. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Ok, stop everything, there's this OTHER GUY that did BGs for Chuck jones!? (Thanks @andrevalente.bsky.social !!)

Re: the male loneliness epidemic, there is *still* not enough emphasis on how many heterosexual girls and women are staying single out of self-preservation, because the sexual norms that many heterosexual boys and men have adopted are exceptionally dangerous.

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

Finished them both up and got them out the door in time for Offspring's birthday and their partner got one as well (the one on the left). The lights are controlled from internal switches, and I had to try and remember my kindergarten-level Cantonese for blessings on the ribbon.

Haven't been able to work on my offspring's Rover Terminal for over a month as I have been fighting a hell of a flare and popping antibiotics like smarties, but I hope to finish painting and get the wiring on this weekend. Someone cover me for alt-text here, I'm struggling to stay upright atm.

Too many of you are showing that you've never been stopped and searched on the street. Your ID card discourse is myopic. Asking for your papers is one of those 'discretionary' things and guess who the police use their discretion on?

Cutting so many grants basically put Sydette out of business. (As planned actually. Govt wants to put Black women out of business. Esp consultants & researchers.) She's still gotta have shelter & eat. Anything does something for her. (& sales or Ko-fi would do a lot for Aji.)

"I don't see anything wrong with ID Cards therefore it stands to reason that you should drop your objections and have one" is not exactly the philosophical or political slam dunk that a depressing volume of 'clever' people appear to believe it to be.

The sketchbook hubs bought me has cotton-waste pages and is one of the weirder surfaces I've tried to paint or sketch on (though actual papyrus was definitely weirder!). It took a while to find mediums that would leave a mark, but was actually fun to figure out. And I have income now for paints.

I'm gonna say it because I don't give a shit: I want every single skin that voted for Jill Stein to tell me they are happy right now. Where did y'all go now that you won? Are you happy? Are our ancestors cheering right now? Address anti-black racism in the community. Shine a light on it, finally.

If you want to bore me with your small talk connection bs as the one Twue Way of Community, I need you to show me I can go about my Black business unbothered by you and yours. Otherwise take your coughing self away. You've not been my ally for years, and I wasn't the one who dropped that ball.

Buffalo are kin. "The Northern Arapaho Tribe recently passed a resolution designating buffalo as wildlife rather than 'livestock,' ensuring that the keystone species gains additional protections." ictnews.org/news/mountai...

Every time some privileged white person (it's usually white) tells people "too anxious to talk to strangers to grow up" I am reminded these people haven't worn a mask to protect immunocompromised people in years. And they aren't at all wondering if said person they're chatting with is a bigot.

This isn't a review of Silksong, since I physically can't play. Instead, this is a reflection of the Metroidvania genre, particularly exploring Silksong's failures and minor successes. Read my latest Access Designed on @ign.com here: www.ign.com/articles/hol...

What's crazy is just how many cameras there were, but no one came to her rescue. That part should've been immediate. That's a human life. Period.

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday. Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Quite. So many Labour people on this website visibly have no idea of just how bad things have got for ethnic minorities since they came on, and how their visible indifference lands.

I often start earlier and/or go much later, depending on the roll I’m on and whether the art gods are complying that evening or not 😊

I’ve always done my best sculpting between like midnight and 7am or so. So, I’ve arranged to live my life like that. As if I was doing night shift work. But permanently

GOOD

farage is going to do a lot more of these "migrants are eating swans" things. it's all about seeing what the media will engage with diplomatically. if you're a journalist and your response isn't to ask "are you on fucking glue" you've failed.
