Something I've come to grips with in the past year is you can grant people heaps of emotional grace, yet it's still not enough for them regardless of how authentically you live.

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

Literary cat on #caturday.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if they ran on the "Free Chauvin" message. 😳

Minnesota GOP convention just voted to stand for and hold a moment of silence for… killer cop Derek Chauvin. Can’t make this up.

The concept of “free speech zones” and “first amendment zones” is fucking bonkers. So you mean the full constitution doesn’t apply outside of the little square y’all decided on? And we’re supposed to just comply with that?

When hunger is the vibe, food is the move

Their new girlfriend is women

My sister in law Brittney recently passed due to the rare and very deadly leptomeningeal disease, where cancer spreads to the brain and spinal fluid. She wanted people to donate to research into the disease so other moms won't have to go through what she went through.

Did you see this??? An entire 50 PERCENT of Democratic voters under 30 want the party to MOVE TO THE LEFT on transgender issues. Comparing with other issues polled, it's second only to healthcare as an issue younger voters want to see the party move left on.

@mprnews.org goes long and deep on the political convention news, and I'm here for it. www.mprnews.org/politics/ele...

Gee I wonder why women and girls are less inclined to use tools that were popularized via their ability to create fake nude photos of women and girls

I wish I had a Maximum Overdrive tattoo.

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

The White House today announced it plans to make major changes in how the U.S. government manages research funding. https://scim.ag/43HgW4s

Pine City, Minnesota, is believed to have hosted the first rural Pride event in the U.S. two decades ago. This week, a local social group for lesbians unveiled a plaque marking East-Central Minnesota Pride's place in LGBTQ history.

That was my game of the year last year - insane how much silly fun it is to play and yet such a powerful, emotional story.

youtu.be/QnQ1oxr67MM?... The Another Crab's Treasure LP is off this week since we've arrived at a nice act break and I need a lil extra time to edit the backlog. In the interim, please enjoy this delightful diorama by my partner and this delightful lullaby by me!

Honestly, it's rad af that Obsession is now outperforming Mandalorian in theaters now. Backrooms is going to do it too!

‘El Tigre' co-creator Jorge R. Gutierrez has dropped out of Amazon’s new GenAI program after backlash “I will not be making a Punky Duck series. Actions speak louder than words” “My sincerest apology to those I upset. I promise to do better moving forward”

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

Strong Old Man Shakes Fist energy here at the Stately Manor, where our community newspaper put last week's grocery store fliers in this week's edition.

It's really a mystery why faculty are donating to the political party that isn't dismantling their academic freedom, subjecting them to censorship, and destroying their funding.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

I’ve watched every site I ever wrote for or shared an era with get bought up, stripped down, and robbed of everything that made it what it was. They buy sites because of their value, only to rip them apart until only carrion remains. Just to own it. Just to consume the medium. Parasitic cunts.

Visiting a holy site...

Btw I now have a separate account just for my FFXIV shenanigans, so I don't clog up this one. I WILL still reblog fat cats, tho. She's too perfect.

An NBC News investigation finds dozens of examples of criminals imitating ICE to rob and attack people www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Travesty. This woman was playing the game as Miyazaki intended.

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

This oral history was published in 2025 as part of our coverage of the fifth anniversary of the killing of George Floyd.

"This is an uprising": Witnesses narrate the six days after George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis

She's so regal

Seconded. Women and girls are expected to empathize, sympathize, and relate to male protagonists. It's simply presumed we will. I genuinely believe the binds of early misogyny could be loosened in young minds by expecting the same of boys with female protags.

Please PLEASE let Dreamworks' FORGOTTEN ISLAND be a good film and make Pixar eat their words, also enough with the "boys can't enjoy girl movies" rhetoric The boys that "can't" enjoy girl movies were taught & socialized to think that girl-focused movies are inferior and/or unrelatable to them

They should do that Jubilee show with the Pope. Like "1 Pope vs 20 Conservatives Catholics Who Just Converted."

Oh you two are on a date? Why won't you debate me instead.

Sitting down uninvited at another party's table at a restaurant to yell at them so they won't be in a bubble

The male ego is a disease

Therapist: "What would you say is your primary stressor right now?" Me: "The United States government."

“you just want to live in a bubble!” i mean it would be so cool if i could choose to live in a world without a bunch of screaming bigots, but i can’t. i don’t live in that world! the posts i read on the toilet aren’t my whole world, dude. go outside.

i don’t “live in a bubble,” i live here, in the united states of america in 2026. i live under the rise of fascism. even if examining right wing extremism weren’t my actual job, it would be unavoidable. i’m not “ensconced” in anything, i just choose not to spend my free time getting called slurs.
