loser Democrats pivot to hatred when they know they’re losing so that they can point the blame at minorities when they lose. It’s an obvious pattern at this point. when these fucking shells start telling you they “have to compromise” they have already given up. They just want to deflect blame.

and he’s still being attacked for being too pro trans. Jesus, you are delusional. This DID NOT WORK, it just showed he can be bullied into hurting children. It showed him for a weak man and gained him zero right wing votes. You know this which is why you’re resentfully trying to bully us.

i am asking for literally one candidate. any candidate. to not come out and be like "we need to demonize and abandon trans people in order to win. don't you want us to win?" no fucker i want you to defend the humanity and rights of my fucking family and friends or you can eat shit and die horribly.

Does anyone know how to get a molar extracted quickly, no questions asked? got a cracked tooth that’s in agony and almost caused sepsis again that I need to get out immediately but the oral surgeon I was referred to can’t pull it until October 8th which could kill me if i have to wait that long

Heart echo came back with not great results, ejection fraction was already low and dropped another 5% in the last year. hoping it’s only a temporary but recoverable setback due to the generic medications fiasco bringing all my symptoms back but it’s impossible to know for sure right now.

Still have not heard a goddamn thing from my pharmacy or insurance about getting back onto brand name Entresto despite my cardiologist filing for medical necessity after shitty generics made my vitals and physical health go to shit immediately. currently unable to sleep, all HF symptoms returning.

Has anyone (or a friend/family member) had a negative experience with the Entresto generics (Sacubitril/Valsartan), my insurance forced me onto the generics recently and all of my more severe heart failure symptoms have immediately crept back in some way and my resting pulse has skyrocketed on them.

Studio 346 is a collection of artists, historians, & engineers joined in a common goal: to make our shared love & knowledge of railroading into a fun, meaningful experience. Since day 1, we’ve pledged never to use generative AI slop. Century of Steam always will be a game made for people, by people.

A poem on a paper background, surrounded by several roughly-drawn doodles of Rico and Dolores, Century of Steam's cartoon goat and deer mascots, respectively. The two of them are shown making various doodles and drawings of their own. The poem, in defense of human artistry against a pervasive deluge of AI slop, reads as such:

Art's an exclusively human endeavor,
Which sits at the crossroad of person and craft,
A people without craft is weary to weather,
A craft without people is soulless and daft.

To put onto canvas a thing by our hands
Comes with it a tangible part of our own,
So others may gaze at our self as it stands,
To know us and smile on what we have shown.

So long as real hands and real minds can assure,
Incredible works can be crafted and born,
Even if some hands are covered in fur,
And some minds are guarded by antler and horn.

But say I had sought out a local town baker,
To bake a confection I vaguely describe,
If I had told everyone I was the maker,
We'd all see the baker's betrayed by the lie.

So anywhere art is not crafted with care,
But stolen and churned into some unknown slurry,
Remember this warning to heed and beware,
Or else we may find ourselves lost in a hurry.

Do what you love, and love what you do,
But do it yourself, or it's not really you.

One of the worst parts of having heart failure is how much of your life you spend worrying about the looming inevitability of death to the point you wonder if you’re even able to make good use of the time you have here. How little time you even have left. It’s been… eating at me a lot lately.

newsom will continue to hurt trans people! he said he wants this! if you actually gave a shit about trans people you'd listen to them when they say this freak will continue to hurt our community immensely & shouldn't even get a tactical vote. for fuck's sake, we are not your fucking trolley problem

At the general, I pick babies in fire or not on fire because I don't control 51% of the vote. That's my choice.

i would rather watch gavin newsom be fed toes-first into a document shredder than vote for him in the 2028 general election if he becomes the nominee. fuck him and his trans-hating bullshit, and before anyone decides to be a shitlib and yell at me, fix your fucking stupid party and run someone else.

Happy Pride from Studio 346! A lot of our team is LGBTQ+ and allies who support them, and Century of Steam wouldn't be possible without their dedication. Railroading is our passion & we want to provide an informative, welcoming environment for all to enjoy it. Be safe, be loved, and be you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Rico has nonbinary flag colors on their bandana, and Dolores, a doe with antlers, has trans flag colors on hers.

i would just like one day where our shitty fascist government is not trying to kill everyone i love and care about, and one hour of people claiming to be our allies not being fucking annoyingly condescending about us losing our rights as humans
