Absolutely AND we really need to stop the survivorship bias habit where we assume that the "system" is working ok just because "it" is stopping some major threats to democracy.

Hi. It's Autism awareness day. I'm aware that I'm autistic. :3

"But widespread layoffs, hiring freezes and resignations have shrunk the number of qualified scientists who can assist state labs...By July, the rabies team will be down to just one person with the clinical expertise to advise state and local officials, and the pox virus team will have none."

Fuck both Pats and Geno's. No native Philadelphian goes to get food at 9th and Wharton unless they're drunk or high and it's 3 am.

Love this and also it's so true youtube.com/shorts/8ihPX...

Mission.

Legit question: Is there any country, anywhere that will take a disabled person who will otherwise follow the law and keep to themselves/run a small fiber arts business? Asking for a friend. I'm the friend.

"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

I would like to like somewhere where there is actual accountability and laws mean something plz

Here's some art for any trans friends who would like it. Drop me a message if you'd like the high res emailed to you.

So I wrote a book. Though none of it comes into play in this book, the main character is queer and one of their family members is trans. There are signs. Trans visibility doesn’t have to be performative - we just need to be allowed to exist. Anyway I guess message me if you’d like to read it?

Starting your adventure can be pretty scary, but having those who love and support you can make all of the difference in taking that first step!💚🏳️‍⚧️ Happy Trans Day of Visibility! #ffxiv #ffxivart #tdov

Let’s turn lemons into civic engagement lemonade. As @pgh-dude.bsky.social points out, a draft of the Allegheny County Safety Action Plan is open for public comment through April 10. If you live here and care about pedestrian safety, I encourage you to take a look and provide your feedback.

Ever have a moment where the things you really want to complain and express are petty and vain and you *know* they are but they're just honest? The things I want are the pettiest, shallowest things in the world. And yet.

Society doesn’t care about the suffering of groups they deem lesser, because even in grief there’s a social hierarchy. Transphobia is rooted in misogyny and normalises the abuse of all women.. but I wish cis people cared about how transphobia harms trans people.

I read through the article and through the letters sent to these paypros and you guys should too (like please actually read them, don't rely on me). It specifically cites religious and political views but the language is wide open. This is good

Reminder that the OCC'S debankment findings specifically name adult entertainment. There's not only awareness but a will to call it out so let's push. Call your reps, etc www.occ.gov/news-issuanc...

Fuck it, have two pics of Tani living her best life.

I been telling y’all not to trust the data coming out of this administration and oh hey look, I was fucking right again 😒😒😒

I'm so tired of feeling like nothing more than a burden.

If this is you, I want you to know that the amount per work is very likely to be > $3000. Half that if you're splitting with your publisher.

Good morning. We're getting word that a (bullshit) deal on ICE/CBP funding might be moving this morning. That means you need to CALL your electeds ASAP and tell them no blank check for ICE or CBP: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

We as a society value resilience in people but do not talk often enough about the mental and emotional cost of said resilience; something is only strong until its strength is exhausted and resilient people are not unbreakable. Please check in on your "resilient" friends. They need you.

Oh, I like this: state law requiring ICE to waive supremacy clause immunity if it wants to contract with local agencies?

One day I will write my magnum opus on the suppression of disability and mental health in the black community. It will be intersectional. It will take our elders to task while understanding the environment they grew up in. It will exhort our generation who are now become the elders to be BETTER.

Me: Maybe I'm not autistic, autistic people have issues with sounds and shit from when they're young. I didn't show signs of that, right? Also me: Was apparently "afraid" of the sound of the wind rustling the leaves on the trees because it was too loud when I was a toddler.

KOSA, the KIDS Act, App Store Accountability Act, COPPA 2.0: Congress just pushed more regulation in the last two weeks than it has in almost a decade. That’s sending the internet scrambling to protect kids online (and choosing between privacy and safety)

Hey guys. I know times are tough - they are here too. My *first* appointment for OMM - effectively, chiropractic - is next month. I'm on an unpaid LOA, if you could help out at paypal.me/witchiebunny I would be super effing grateful.

Concentration camps. Use the term. Do not stop using the term until this current American regime falls and the camps are liberated. Then use the term in The Hague. This is Trumpism. This is white nationalism. This is he moral gutter into which America has fallen.

noticing every so often I need some days where I have literally 0 demands being placed on me for my mental health. This feels...childish. Wasteful/selfish. But I just know that there are literally days where I can handle 0 conversation. Knowing why my brain does this doesn't make it easier.

I do not remember the last time I drew Wryn from beginning to end like this. Tried some shading techniques I've *literally* never tried before. I know she's still off model technically but she's recognizable as herself and I'll take that for now.

Finally made one of these for pipin... rphub.co/ch/5146

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.

@tbskyen.com Hi. I am just finishing your most recent TADC analysis and your comments about taking what you love about media and using it to create and engage in the human condition vs. consumption based media; You get it. You *truly* get it and I just want you to know that's so amazing. Thank you.

Happy Friday guys! If you 1. have something you would like me to make, let me know or 2. would like to help, feel free to drop some funds over at paypal dot me slash witchiebunny. TBH, I am running on fumes, and we need rent so...uh, help?

They’re trying to ram through KOSA, a full Section 230 repeal, and a slew of other anti-LGBTQ censorship and surveillance laws under the guise of “cracking down on AI” and a ton of dumb leftists are falling for it.

For any true Democracy this will have to be reversed but which 2028 candidates will make the pledge?

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

Get your piece, folks. They owe every author who has ever published anything anywhere afaic.

Hey I need a sanity check. Person is at place 90 min away. Says at 12 they are on their way home. (12:24 to be specific). It is now 3:30. They are not home. I call and they say it's unreasonable for me to consider they might've gotten into an accident. IS IT?!?

When calling your reps, bring this up to them. It's not a hypothetical, it's a real and genuine threat.
