Another weekend, another community shattered by a gunman armed with an assault-style rifle — this time in Twin Falls, Idaho at an In-N-Out Burger, where three people were killed and seven others were wounded.
Don't worry about not fitting in, because fitting in isn't an important part of your life. Be proud of being different♡ Your life is shining🌈
"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care

Democratic Party establishment needs to recognize that they are not selling the whole vibe that they can serve & include everyone, when they won’t include or embrace the most effective wing of their own party, the democratic socialists.
Predictive policing sounds exactly like the way that traumatized (usually unwittingly abusive) people think of their own hypervigilance & coercion. It functions exactly the way that C-/PTSD does, scanning only for threats, with no self-awareness, or relational awareness.
I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

I am TERRIFIED to call people and I call my reps. Even just a simple 'I need you to appeal the KOSA act/Online Safety act or I'm voting against you' is enough of a sentence. it gets them scared, it gets them to act. This isn't just about 'porn', even tame stuff is targeted now. You might be next.
The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us
No human could ever be as comfortable as a little goblin dog in his momma’s cottagegorblin bed.
When a few concerned citizens band together, we're able to protect our communities and create a more perfect union. We're so proud to honor Bruce Springsteen with the Ralph Ellison Award for his relentless work using his voice and talent to defend our civil liberties.
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
I'm old enough to remember a time when you could work a min wage job and enjoy your life. Not any fuckin' more.

Oh my god they’re still in there! 🙀 & now they’re sleeping! There’s like at least 5!
Please enjoy this goblin blessing of a possum family in my grandma’s fig tree. My first time seeing a baby possum irl! They were much cuter than the camera captured. Like sweet, innocent, naive little kittens.

Alternative headline: Andrew Willson lays off everyone who worked on successful Battlefield 6 to steal all the wealth they created.
Despite its success, Electronic Arts rewarded some of those who made Battlefield 6 by laying them off. It's a different story for EA CEO Andrew Wilson.
we should charge the C-suite with fraud and theft if they take a tax credit meant to keep people employed and then cut staff anyway.
Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.

Huge Western cowboy fan. In 2023, I submitted my paintings to an Arizona gallery. The owner loved them, the. asked for a photo of me, then the racial slurs began. I was devastated. That became CHASED OUT OF THE WEST, a Western/Thriller/Action comic. Coming this August. Hope YOU'LL like it. ❌Racism
Frank has decided that he needs to be part of my shower times. Which means he needs a nest made for him. He’s always a little worried that it will end in him being put into the bath also.

It’s terribly hot in the LA Area. Smokey is lying on a cooling mat, between two box fans. Unfortunately my NPD grandma meticulously ensure the other caregivers turn off the ac in his room after I leave bc accomodating him makes her feel threatened, & there’s nothing I can do while he’s there.
Barnes and Noble says: "From beloved pets to loved ones lost unexpectedly, this relatable book, drawing on dozens of expert interviews, offers a fresh perspective on mourning." Order my book, it's out TOMORROW!
