Danai Christopoulou | VILE LADY VILLAINS out NOW@danaiwrites.bsky.social · 12h agoI would really love to edit a Greek myth and folklore anthology written by Greek, diaspora and BIPOC authors. If any publishers or powers that be are listening. I’m shooting my shot.

Hi! Are you a furry who's recently begun transitioning, but haven't been able to afford to commission updated sona art? If so, I want to draw the new you!! I'm hoping to set up an entry form and gallery for this very soon, but I'd love to work with 1-2 folks in the meantime! DM if interested!! 🏳️⚧️🎨
It's amazing to be how many Serious Thinkers™ conceive of junkies as random spawn NPCs, like Aristotle thought rotten meat spontaneously generated maggots. These are people. They need food, housing, and medical care, including mental and physical health. If they can't have that, they have this.

A great day to remember that just because Pandora’s Box was opened doesn’t mean that it’s a good or moral thing to actively encourage the contents of said Box to get larger and more evil.
IMPACT: that company that was offering to buy books for AI companies’ training data — and probably destroy them in the process — says it will no longer offer this service following 404 Media’s exposure of it www.404media.co/ai-company-t...
Company Offering Printed Books to Train AI Stops After 404 Media Coverage
Citing backlash, ISBNdb removed its webpages about training AI, denied ever buying, scanning, or selling a book for AI training, and said the site was a "test of market interest."

RIP to Glen Hansard. He always seemed like a real one.
Look, processed food should not be in the same breath as regimented education. Should we make this world more accessible to people with ADHD? Yes. What would that look like? It certainly would include processed food.
Scott Bryan@scottygb.bsky.social · last wk.“While traits of ADHD undeniably exist – the question is why they exist. Is ADHD actually a neurodevelopmental disorder? Do people with ADHD have differently wired brains? Or does our world – with…processed food, and regimented education – serve as the catalyst for certain…patterns of behaviour?”
BREAKING: SAG-AFTRA, the actors union comes out in opposition to the Paramount-Warners merger. Plenty of actors & SAG members have been a part of our #BlockTheMerger coalition from day 1 but still, this is big. My hometown of Hollywood does not want this misbegotten mashup & neither does democracy

read this then notice that our US Democratic Party is doing just this. we have but 2 parties here: fascist or fascist-lite. if you think the Democratic Party is an “Opposition” party, you haven’t been paying attention. good luck to all
Mommy Microwave@mommy-microwave.bsky.social · 3w agoAs in France, the US, Germany, and elsewhere, the same goes for the UK: "Opposition" parties that only provide watered-down fascist alternatives to the far-right while doing everything to alienate, repress and ignore progressives and leftists in their country are foundational to the rise of fascism.
🧵 is now complete! I'd love for it to get 10K views before the end of the weekend, so please give it a watch! it actually has humorous moments!
Julia Serano@juliaserano.bsky.social · 3w agoBRAND NEW VIDEO: not only my most thorough take-down of these anti-trans talking points, but it explains why women & minority groups are often stereotyped as "contagious" & "excessively sexual." it compiles a decade of my work, so please watch & "like" & share so others see it! youtu.be/rJq9ran4Sdc
1/ Outrageous and unacceptable. The Namaygoosisagagun First Nation wasn’t warned of the blaze that burned their community to the ground and were not given supports to evacuate.
Winnipeg Free Press@winnipegfreepress.com · 3w agoOTTAWA – A small Ontario First Nations community that was burned to the ground by a raging wildfire on Monday is being deprived of the help it needs because the federal government doesn’t recognize it as a First Nation, the community’s lawyer said.
I’m sad and alone on my apartment but I would actually like to keep living here and I’m behind on June and July rent. Every little bit helps!
Chelsea M. Cameron (she/they)@chel-c-cam.bsky.social · 2mo agoAnother bad month. It’s looking like I need to say goodbye to Sass very soon and I’d like to do that here at home. Rent is also overdue. Any little bit helps! ko-fi.com/A356F63/goal...
The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply
Here's the list of anti rights groups in the UK as documented by Amnesty International.
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
Millennial Grey, a color palate dictated by the fact that millennials were unable to purchase housing and landlords enforced a neutral colour pallet. Enjoyed by nobody, the name was another attempt to blame Millennials for things older generations did.
100%. Don’t let TERFs colonize the narrative here. Most studies show that lesbians are far more likely to be trans accepting than almost any other group. It’s just, as queer ppl, we’re more likely to be in proximity to a lesbian transphobe than a straight one.
A secret third thing@secretthirdthing.bsky.social · 3w agoI rly need other trans women to stop accepting the lie that cis lesbians are in any sense uniquely transphobic. Literally cis lesbians support trans people more than other trans people do. Don't let your (very understandable) fears get in the way of having rly cool friends
These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...
Luke LeBrun@lukelebrun.ca · 3w agoThese photos of FNs community members fleeing their homes by boat are genuinely apocalyptic (Photo via Wayne Wastaken of Collins, Ontario, who says his “hometown is gone”) www.facebook.com/share/r/1ArN...
It’s officially time to say goodbye to Sass. I really don’t have the spare budget for the final costs, so if anyone could help me send my sweet kitty over the rainbow bridge. I would REALLY love to have her ashes returned to me, but that’s an additional cost. Thank you 💖 ko-fi.com/A356F63/goal...
As always, we have absolutely no leg to stand on in our criticism of the United States. If anything we are worse, because we have seen the results of US policy on health, food inspection, etc, and have not only refused to learn the lesson, we’re doubling down.
Daniel Munro@dkmunro.bsky.social · 3w agoWhile Canadians giggle with schadenfreude about explosive diarrhea in the U.S., recall that Budget 2025 includes ongoing expenditure cuts of $211M, $89M & $81M to Health Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada & the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, respectively. budget.canada.ca/2025/report-...
