It's the least our issues, but I'm going to put it out there: the US should also replace the people on currency with (our) native wildlife, including bats.

I propose Tadarida brasiliensis on the 100.

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong:

"Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. 
I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. 
The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. β€œPastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. 
Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge.
The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

I don't wish we could abolish gender, I just wish it were less an identity and more of a hobby. So you'd get people who are like "Oh yeah, l'm a woman when I have the time," or "I'm a man but I'm not very good at it yet" along with the CrossFit gender types who are SUPER INTO IT

In a seedy space bar on Qualor II, Worf approaches the strange-looking piano player (Dr. Teeth of the Electric Mayhem). Worf stands there staring at him as he plays. A can of suck salt sticks can be seen on the piano.

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.”

Bookday! It's my bookday!

Out today is BUTTERFLY EFFECTS, the fifteenth (15! How did that happen?) adventure in the InCryptid series, and the third book narrated by Sarah Zellaby. Sarah's adopted, which is relevant only because she's not human. She's still family. Biology is irrelevant.

Photograph of a fat white woman with blonde hair, wearing a full lolita coordinate and lounging on a couch. Her burgundy and white dress has short puffy sleeves and an enormous skirt trimmed with white chiffon. She is hitting a black vape with a bored expression on her face. A cloud of smoke in front of her face indicates she has done this recently.
