Do good for others

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

It freaking begins. I said them going after trans people was their test to see how much they can get away with, and I'll say this again: They don't care where in LGBTQ+ you are, if you're not straight, they want you gone. Fight like hell.

They always gave her the best lines and best hats

And on the pedestal, these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away.

Periodic reminder that the fandom we get depends on who and what we support. The next four years are going to be rough. You should do all you can to make your space safe for LGBTQIA+ and BIPoC. Don't let your spaces turn into the Nazi Bar. Let's ensure 2025 has no fascists at our pool party.

Bought every LP that TWRP had at the concert! Time for a listening day. Already had Digital Nightmare, the rest are all translucent color vinyl and Together Through Time is a double 12" 45 which I wasn't expecting but is awesome! If they release The Longest Weekend on vinyl I'll get that too.

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

Do you remember? I remembered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2V1...

Takin' a Ride by Don Felder, from the Heavy Metal Motion Picture Soundtrack This one was fun ... this is the first time I've been able to go from not knowing a song to playing it competently in under 24 hours. And it's a nice groove too. youtu.be/vyB9AYt15GI

I've been working on covering this off and on for a couple of months now. There are a couple of fills that were giving me trouble, and of course "more practice" was the answer. I'm really excited to have finally nailed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlNH...

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

fuck around… and this is also why idgaf if people are coming out in mass chanting and yelling things into megaphones. That does nothing besides result in a bitch ass kettle and exactly what he says in the video.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023 www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

Just found this little critter outside our garage door. Always found it amazing how much these little guys look like a leaf!

New bass cover - "Rainbow in the Dark" by Dio I think I did pretty good considering I've only been playing for 3 months. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHEn...

I'm feeling grumpy, so in an attempt to change that I am posting these old fake Antiques Roadshow pictures that make me laugh

Speaking of learning to play bass, I thought I'd celebrate the end of the course by playing some good ol' 80s metal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=azcJ...

I played bass in high school briefly. Self taught, progress stalled, sold it... and for the last 25 years I've reminisced about how I used to play. In April I finally listened to that voice in my head. Today I finished a three month course, and I'm so stoked to be able to play again!

People make art under hellish conditions locked up in prisons as just one example. It's because making things affirms our humanity. So yes, make art during fascism. What are we fighting for? A free society FOR ALL where we can revel in beauty, culture and all good things.

Disabled people tried to warn you We screamed about the need to normalize masking for public health We begged folks to wear N95s in solidarity & make them harder to ban This is fascism. Far right groups like Proud Boys can fully cover their faces, while peaceful protesters are arrested for an N95

This is incredibly funny but, also, I hope everyone who is pro AI or a teacher that allows AI can see clear as day that the ultimate goal is to put the thumb on the scale of all of this shit. That's why they're forcing it on us. It's a joke.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

GSFTW staff can throw as many multi-day tantrums as they want—they can't change the fact that if you let Nazis through your doors with open arms (and they did), people will warn each other and decide not to come! They can't handle that, so they need to act like it's the fault of those who warned.

"I learned more about being a man from the gay community than I ever did from any straight man."

Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

🍀$8260.23 raised for Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge. 🔥638 Attendees. 🐾 A weekend spent in celebration of community. 🐦‍🔥 This is just the beginning. ❤️‍🔥You’ll be hearing from us soon…

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie Eight Weddings and Two Funerals

It's important to mention that #GSFTW was a litmus test for the #furry community to decide whether or not we would tolerate our spaces becoming unsafe in this climate when we need them most. In my opinion, the community as a whole passed with #Furggeddaboutit being the response to that.

anybody use any better apps? would like to find a low lift way to keep practicing languages

if you'd like to see a wide re-release of Hundreds of Beavers in theaters this year, one night only, in thousands of cities — repost this. we've got some doubters.

Thank you so much to both @furgeddaboutit.org and the bestie @starlacearts.bsky.social for rescuing me OTL the vibes are night and day here im sobbing everyone is so nice 🥹

seems kind of weird that the vice president of the united states is openly supportive of german neo-nazis!

Seems the "PR rep" for @gsftwofficial.bsky.social likes to threaten lawsuits, but when told "here is how to contact my lawyer" they block and run. Special thanks to @sotalo.bsky.social for more evidence that GSFTW is run by cowards who use legal threats as a cudgel with no intent to follow through

This is getting passed around the local chats this morning. Source unknown.

Reminder: Garden State Fur The Weekend (GSFTW, lame ass name) is a con run by chuds and nazi sympathizers Leadership has purged anyone not towing the line of allowing nazis in and has begin issuing hollow legal threats to anyone speaking out Spread the word, GSFTW is a nazifur convention

Someone knows who this man is and where he spends his time. He should be identified. And he should not feel comfortable showing his face in public after this.
