I know I’m not really here much (I check messages/notifications though), but I wanted to share the gofundme of someone in the ME community. This is urgent life or death. I don’t have much energy to promote this, but I hope you all will take up the cause: gofund.me/8da0ebb46

At a school I worked at there was a sign next to the printer explaining that it can smell fear and sense when you are in a hurry. Truest thing I've ever seen

Hi I'm not on here very often anymore, it sounds like everything is going to hell? Cool cool cool

The fursuit commission application form is now OPEN! It is NOT first come first served so please take your time. The form will be open until Sunday, September 7. forms.gle/g9Qff5ckyMos...

This one is only for Blueskyers of a certain age.

this survey took less than two minutes yes, it's inane. do it anyway

when i say the washington post deserves neither your money nor your respect, i also mean wapo puzzles & diversions, and crosswords and all their podcasts

SFBayArea people and @postlandtrust.bsky.social do you know if this has anything a sturdy wheelchair couldn't go over? I would love to go and bring my dog on leash of course, and my kid. Or maybe skip the dog and kid and just bring binoculars. openspacetrust.org/hike/wavecre...

A moment from today--holding my girlfriend's hand while she gets touchups on a tattoo dedicated to her girlfriend. My girlfriend's partner drops in and comes to stand by her. Sunset over the river, golden light pouring into the tattoo studio, all of us chatting and laughing with the artist.

I’m unable to find the post on tumbler that read: “you don’t need ai I can drink a bottle of water and lie to you”

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3

Gotta say…

Also, it's been a while since I've done the periodic virtual blood drive, so: Blood supplies across the country have been critically low for years. If you're physically capable of donating blood (I'm not, sigh) please consider booking an appointment! www.redcrossblood.org

Periodic reminder that if you are in a queer marriage, you should look into what legal documents can ensure your and your spouse's security (e.g. medical power of attorney, legal will, transfer of deed on death) in an emergency.

Acting. I've loved community theater, but that's probably as far as I'll get given the, y'know, trans/disabled/fat/chronically ill combo. Takes hubris to say I think I'd kick ass at screen OR stage, but I do so think!

The true warrior knows that there is honor in going to therapy. How can you defeat your enemies in battle if you fear to fight the enemies in your soul?

there's a longer post that encapsulates this feeling, but I like the succinctness of this meme

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Trans folks ain't done shit to you

maybe there's still some good left in this world after all

Only EVERY SINGLE STUDY EVER DONE confirms that giving homeless people money is the best way to address homelessness. But we're not real data-driven at the best of times, and of course, these aren't the best of times.

THOSE PEACOCK PANTS!!!

@hugsboson.bsky.social testing

This was already discussed almost a decade ago. Men are the only ones demanding rippling muscles. Second photo also goes to show how the superhero body is now more dehydrated and eating disordered than ever.

The first chill breeze~ Every year, in the hopeless heart of endless Summer, there's a day when it breaks. There will be other hot days, but you have hope now. You remember what is coming. It's almost Hallowe'en

When it comes to the stupid transphobic culture war being agitated within the trans community creating a false divide between transfems and transmascs, I find it useful to ask Cui bono? Who benefits from a trans community being THIS splintered? Spoiler alert: this should set off psyop alarms

ACAB includes PawPatrol

Update, I have now seen like 4 episodes of this show and I never want to see it again

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

Nibling is a Paw Patrol enjoyer. I knew the dogs talked, but I did not realize that their barking is just their voice actors saying "Arf. Ruff ruff." But the robot dog has a normal bark sound effect? Somehow?

@polerin.bsky.social OH HI I didn't know you were on here!

I'm seeking a children's book about disability that is short enough to be read aloud as part of a longer event (a Unitarian service), with a story or insights you would want your kids to learn or understand. Thoughts in the comments, please? @mskellymhayes.bsky.social?

Might be "Santeria" by Sublime but really any Sublime song will do it ("What I Got" gets a pass though) Honorable mention to that fucking Christmas Shoes song

:)))) #art #illustration

I went to the pharmacy and waited for an hour and THEN they told me they didn't actually have any cromolyn. A bit crushing but I hadn't gotten my hopes up. However, they found another location that did have it, and today, for the first time in 6+ months, I was able to fill my prescription.

Jewish orgs Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Association are giving out interest-free loans to LGBTQ+ folks who need to re-locate but can’t afford it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE JEWISH. “The idea that people were having to pick up and flee their homes was something that resonated Jewishly.”

They were NOT able to get me any cromolyn in June, but a different pharmacy says they can get it tomorrow. Trying not to get my hopes up. I figured out how to lace my shoes to accommodate the edema. I can wear shoes again. I'm taking 12 daily doses of meds (32 pills, plus sprays and drops).

Cowardice: I’m scared of Trump and his voters and need to go-along to get along with my GOP colleagues; Moral rot: I know the difference between right and wrong, and actively chose wrong.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

I think I saw this on tiktok but someone said, "you may not need medicaid, but your local hospital does"

If you're reading this, whoever you are & whatever you're doing to try to make this world better, whether it's calling, protesting, providing mutual aid, making art, raising awareness, training & teaching people new concepts & skills, journalism, surviving through it all, or whatever else: thank you

If you care about Medicaid, I need your help. These kids are the best chance we have of saving Medicaid. Families are on the way to DC. We need to cover van rentals and hotel rooms. I will not, I will NOT, waste your money or time. Can you help get this donation link in front of your people?

because it has to pass again in the house everyone PLZ call and writer your congresspeople AGAIN and tell them they MUST votes against it. The current Medicaid bill lasts til Jan 2026, then it will kick 20 Million people off Medicaid. 40% of all children are on Medicaid. 70mill Americans total.

When Medicaid collapses - and it will, if anything even remotely like this bill goes through - our entire healthcare system will collapse. And I don’t mean the slow collapse that’s already in progress, I mean like, within months. The ENTIRE modern healthcare system is built on Medicaid/Medicare.

The Senate may vote on gutting #Medicaid soon!! Little Lobbyists kids need you to call your Senator now! ☎️ (202) 224-3121 "Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], I'm a constituent from [ZIP CODE], I'm calling to tell the Senator VOTE NO on any cuts to Medicaid!" PLEASE SHARE #PROTECTMEDICAID
