its tough out there but so am i

It is not our job to determine if resistance is hopeless. It is our duty to render it effective, at all possible points, while we are alive. It is the future that will determine if our efforts were victorious, not the present. To act fully in the present means to never face defeat.

They did this stuff to Muslims after 9/11. It wasn't super effective but it did fuck over a lot of good people. Your best bet to deal with this is to learn from the people they did this to. Forming a popular front with people genuinely committed to undermining authoritarianism is essential.

Gooseworx, the mind behind The Amazing Digital Circus, literally warns about the inherent danger about it because of people like this

Did you know that the FBI actively recruits out of Mormon communities because they're "good and well connected" due to their "squeaky clean rep" requirements? You know, willing to cover for each other like a good ol' boy club. This winds up informing their policies in both a inf and formal capacity.

Been off the grid for a few days ’cause no signal — couldn’t even post😞 Gaza’s a nightmare right now… bombs non-stop, fear everywhere. If anything happens to me, just know all I ever wanted was to stay alive & chase my dream💔🙏 ur support is so helpful now more than ever! chuffed.org/project/layl...

Watching all the podcast bros walk back their fascist fanboying and Trump knob-polishing in the face of this administration's popularity crash would be more satisfying if I could believe they would ever be held even a little accountable for helping us get in this fucking mess in the first place.

Sama'a and her family are struggling. They desperately need our help finding shelter, as their tent is not enough to protect them from the sun. Please give what you can. gofund.me/db56c7ce3

Everyone has the right to love and be loved, regardless of gender. No one can infringe on the ability to express love Something so simple has become complicated in our world Let's all raise our voices to solve this problem and create a world where we can express love freely and openly. we have love♡

but also 30–50% of covid cases are asymptomatic, so test on days 2, 5, 7, 10, and 14 after known exposures, large events, and/or whenever you can if you’re not masking 2/2

the mysterious illnesses or unnamed viruses are likely covid— yes, even when you test negative. you shouldn’t eat or drink 1 hour before testing. RAT tests are not incredibly accurate. but you can increase your chances of getting accurate results by testing on day 2 & 5 on symptom onset 1/2

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

Knights of Guinevere pilot kicks incredible amounts of ass because it's not only a beautifully animated cartoon for an adult audience, it's also clearly made with head splitting, blood-in-mouth, screaming fucking rage

age verification laws are impacting everyone in Arizona and Ohio soon so if you see friends disappear from Bsky and other platforms, those laws are the reason why. Age verification is about getting your personal information and photo through uploading your ID. It is not about 'protecting children.'

this is christian nationalism on full display. this is the most consequential moment in our countries history. this cannot stand, if it does america is finished

KoG is our first-ever 2D show, so our production process was COMPLETELY new and so exciting - see for yourself!

FELLOW OHIO FOLKS!! CALL OUR STATE, LOCAL, AND FEDERAL REPS!! Censorship like this has no place in our state! And if they don’t listen, make sure they’re out of a job soon enough!

Reminder: Oppose and repeal all the age/ID verification laws. They're not protecting their kids but they are censoring you and demanding your personal info. Tell them to stop. Tell them to get rid of this shit.

Hey guys! This weekend, I'll be working on personal art and taking a break from comm work. So instead, I'll be doing our end-of-month Rough Sketch Raffle Stream next Saturday! So set your clocks for next Saturday at 3 PM PST!

Opening for $15 Sketch YCHs that I'll do in between work of the flat color YCHs Google Form: forms.gle/MCLrzifBBxcY...

Hey guys sorry for not being active much, I've been so busy. Would y'all be okay to fill out my survey for an assignment in school? I will be holding an art raffle as a thanks for answering it. The survey is linked in the thread🧵

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump. It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

$415 left to raise! Can you help us meet this goal? #MutualAid #DisabilityJustice #Abolition #Crowdfunding #Disabled #BlackMutualAid

When calling your reps denanding they block/repeal age/ID laws, mentioning how many of these laws on fact BLOCK CSA victins from support is something you should do! We can "think of the children" right back at them

Priti Akanksha Varma Cause of Death: Spear through the chest from a possessed Oath of Ancient Paladin. A Sheeralokh warrior as sturdy as the mountain, her stripes burn bright as magma. She knew this was a likely fate for a soldier like her, but she was not ready to move on. The cycle begins again

1) I'm so happy for them, they've got the right attitude and they clearly know what's important 2) these are the most italian people I've ever seen in my life

Spanish and Italian Navy are meeting Greek, Turkish, Egyptian and Libyan Navy to accompany the flotilla to Gaza. Nobody is talking about it in public but every private chat is talking about nothing else. I wouldn't be surprised if an attack on a NATO state is what will finally bring this to an end

He may play a CREEP but Mark Duplass is a stand-up guy, as Duplass Brothers Productions is teaming up with the Transgender Film Center to launch the Found Footage Fund for trans filmmakers.

I don't think he's managed to get online today. Please do boost and visit the link if you can. The journey really cleared them out financially and left them exhausted. They need to waterproof their tent pretty urgently.

Absolutly right! Love so much every sex worker and NSFW artist, I think our 2 worlds can mix and create incredible art together while we have fun and spread our respect and love! I'm also an artist and I draw some things too sometimes. We have to support each other always!

"It's gauche and uncivil to accurately describe me" is a core view of today's fascists

Been sick and couldn't do much work for the past few days. 🤒 Would be nice if Mud Ghost Estate Redux can reach 50 followers before the end of the month. www.kickstarter.com/projects/wha...

This is absolutely BRILLIANT They didn't listen to our feedback, now we need to ESCALATE Bsky is at 3.4⭐ - let's see how quick we can tank that! Don't know what to write? Copy/paste mine or use it as a starting point! #SaveSpeech #BskyCensorship

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

Let's make sure that we're remembering to do this too. It's been a whirlwind, but Jimmy Kimmel's return is a sign that we can still make a difference with payment processors too.

It is now official, anyone who says "LGB without the T" is a confirmed fed and should be treated accordingly.

Ewwww this is so totalitarian, get rid of this act/bill/WHATEVER it is ew ew EW

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

Autism as a term and diagnosis may be a 20th century concept, but BOY do I tell you if there's historical and written records of individuals displaying what are considered signs of the spectrum ALL over history.

Madison Carstens, a transgender woman from Seattle, was attacked by six men in a transphobic hate crime on Sept 2. She suffered a ruptured eardrum - that may have permanently damaged her hearing - and a severe concussion that will keep her out of work for weeks or months. Do your thing, fam. (1/2)

Personally, I believe we should talk about the payment corporation censorship in the same terms as Net Neutrality. Make it Payment Neutrality. Payment providers should not be able to discriminate based on what the payment is for. Ever.

Us not being able to sell MANHUNT suddenly makes a lot more sense this past week

Boosting this as I need help with this I got sick today so Im gonna be a bit slow with things. Id really appreciate if everyone could help me here. This sickness is really kicking the crap out of me...

Commission for @razefoxx.bsky.social Thank you for commissioning me! 🙇‍♂️
