TODAY IS JUNETEENTH WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO MARK THE END OF SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES EXCEPT THAT IT NEVER ACTUALLY ENDED, IT JUST MORPHED INTO THE INDUSTRIAL PRISON COMPLEX WHERE MILLIONS OF MOSTLY BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE ARE USED AS FREE LABOR IN DANGEROUS WORK E.G. CONSTRUCTION AND FIREFIGHTING.

I've never participated in Artfight and I know some people use DNIs in silly-looking ways, but I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a DNI disclaimer. At its core it's literally just a boundary. It would also count as a DNI if you said "no TERFs". Boundaries should be respected.

for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"
