EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic!

Petals, leaves, pollen, the water in the vase.

You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat.

I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.

In case you were wondering when's a good time to stand up for trans people, the correct answer is ALWAYS, but also how about RIGHT FUCKING NOW

The Conservative Party insists humans should go on banknotes. The British public demands banknotes be festooned with animals.

There is only one possible solution to heal a divided nation: furries on banknotes.

Pale orange background and pale periwinkle ground. Two figures embracing. One holds a sword that pierces them both.

Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.

NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention “believes that the U.S. is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. & globally”

There's no better example to understand the unethical nature of capitalism than the criminalization of squatting, especially squatting that aims for housing of homeless/poor people. They'd rather put plp to jail and leave others on the street, than allow to be seen that there's an alternative.

Enough already. Sex work is work, porn art is work, and work deserves to be paid for. It's time for the grown-ups to make those the rules.

Look so this isn't really OP's the point, but one of the weirdest things about the prequels *even at the time* was the disconnect between their /relatively/ astute politics & big-picture work on the one hand and their clunky writing & scene-work on the other

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.

My only published story so far just has a couple of gay dark lords but I write all sorts of queer stories for me and my friends, and explorations of gender and its transcendences are of special interest.

NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Lots of obvious ones like AI tolerance or sketchy rights deals, but my pet peeve is when a horror market says something that boils down to, "we have hard limits on what's too fucked up for us but we're not going to tell you what they are."

A black and white line drawing. The image shows a giant snake with a swastika for an eye. The snake is being killed by two medieval style knights, there are three downward facing arrows piercing the snakes neck. The caption reads: Teamwork.

societies typically talk about human cognition as working similarly to whatever is seen as the latest and greatest technology. that’s why we currently describe the brain as a roguelike deckbuilding game about characters making their way up a spire

the last few times iran has accepted a ceasefire, the US and israel have taken the opportunity to restock their weapons and then surprise attack iran again. "there's zero point in engaging in diplomacy with us any more" is what that strategy teaches

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
