I like this guy!

The very nature of monopoly

Steve is NEVER ordering from Amazon again!!! He bought some chicken feed for his chickens and as soon as it came Amazon wanted his feed back!!!

Mind you, I'm not sure you can really escape the Internet that way, anymore...

Well colour me shocked that when people’s basic needs are met they commit fewer crimes.

We're not, they are.

For some reason breweries associate otters with beer. It wouldn't surprise me if Steve has something to do with it.

I mean, they are otters, it goes without saying.

BREAKING NEWS: Steve tries his very best to resist throwing a pebble at Brad for being annoying.

In dark times it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel helpless. That is what your enemies want. Defy them. Deny them this, and let that be your first step toward denying them victory, and then seizing it yourself.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

We are worthy! Our desires define only a part of who and what we are. And that part, (pretty as it is), is our own business, nobody else's.

Miracles And Wonders 😊

I'd like to congratulate tech Bros, far right podcasts and just the manosphere in general for making a whole generation of young men talk and act like incels. Really, they accomplished a great thing! Terrible, yes, but great!

A couple hours ago I heard an economist on the radio use "The rising tide lifts all boats," to describe why chicken is so expensive now. Supply and demand, he cited; more people are buying chicken instead of beef, so the price went up. It's not how he put it, but in other words, it's gouging.

It's really been three months since the last time I logged on here? Probably more, actually. It's just that scrolling BlueSky alone takes hours.

Good luck, Xilimyth! 🤞

I might do a proper pride piece later but have the coloured sketch stream warm up! #art #furry #shark #latex #rubber #QVP

Now a word from our sponsor. LUNCH ... and now, back to BlueSky!

-thinks something clever- "I should post that on BlueSky, I bet it would get attention." -logs onto BlueSky- "Dammit! I know there was something I wanted to post! What was it..."

I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo. Look at that little guy go! 🔬🧪

Proud to have been told by the ticket person upon entry that we were the first fursuiters at the Revue in its 114 year history.

There are some who will hate you for who you are, for no reason other than you do not conform to their small minded notions. Do not let them sway you! You are a warrior, a person of honor and courage, not a puppet who bobs on the strings of their prejudices and bigotry.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

I wonder who will win? They seem fairly evenly matched intellectually?

So often we end up having things we don't want and wanting things we don't have.

Solidarity will break them.

There will always be someone who cannot see your worth, who will underestimate you, who will undermine you. Do not let that someone be you.

It should do that. But you know what they say about lies traveling the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

As of today I’ve removed Twitter from my phone and locked my account. Elon going all in on Generative AI, including enabling Grok to generate deepfakes OF MINORS is unconscionable. This year we ALL need to be louder than ever about this: GenAI is largely unethical and needs to be regulated.

Have a work selfie. Actually did the tiniest bit of makeup and work my new Spellcaster tailcoat and gloves from @darkcottagefashion.bsky.social~! Showing that life past 40 cast still be witchy and hot! #transisbeautiful

I loved this article from CNN. I feel sorry for the American families it's effecting, but hey, this is war. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuSz...

And now a word from our sponsor. CONCRETE Now back to BlueSky!

THIS!

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most. Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

You do not owe anybody your attention. The right to speak is not the right to be heard, it's only the right to try.

And now a word from our sponsor. ANTIDOGMATISM ...now back to BlueSky!

LIGHTHOUSES is now complete, and ready to share. As always, tips over on ko-fi.com/shapelessink are appreciated if you feel like it. Many thanks

And now a word from our sponsor. COLA Now back to BlueSky!

It's all about feeding America and taking care of people until the folks who had the struggle to scrape change to eat and get by are now being mocked by uppercrust white communities for losing their SNAPS. Unbelievably ghoulish I despise the timeline I'm in human compassion is dying out fast.

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.
