if you encounter this cat at a crossroads and she asks if you’d like to make some sort of bargain, you may have many questions.

that is normal.

"how did she get here?"
"how does she talk?"
"why does she want my immortal soul?"

curiosity is natural.

but do not make the deal.

this is important.

Four-panel comic on a teal background featuring a fluffy black cat with sleepy eyes. In the first panel the cat says, β€œHuman, maybe it is not about getting everything we want.” In the second panel: β€œMaybe it is about learning what is worth wanting.” In the third panel the cat continues, β€œI’ve discovered that good naps, calm days and the company of my favorite humans are already very good things to want.” In the final panel the cat smiles and adds, β€œAnd snacks!”

Two-panel comic featuring a fluffy black cat with big round eyes against a blue-to-purple gradient background.

Panel 1: The cat looks directly at the viewer with wide eyes. Text reads: β€œWith everything going on right now…”

Panel 2: The cat gently closes its eyes with a calm expression. Text reads: β€œI hope life still leaves room for some goodness in your day.”

Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.

It shouldn't fall to trans people to explain to cis people why creating laws that effectively amount to "If you have or ever had a penis, you must behave this way; If you have, or ever had a vagina, you must behave this other way" is horrifically dangerous for everyone's rights.

overlooking a series of circular water filled tanks of a sewage treatment plant at night. 

lights line a long brick building on the horizon as a blue-black sky is stark behind a veil of thin puffy clouds in the distance.

good night, sewers.
good night, streams.
good night, operations and maintenance teams.
good night, settling tanks.
good night, stream banks.
good night, engineers, scientists, crews, managers, inspectors, analysts too.
a good night for us means serving with care.

good night, sewers, everywhere.

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.

An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.

It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
