Bingo.

The anti-Blackness on this site is omnipresent and uncontrolled, and it keeps getting worse. And every time it gets pointed out, white people keep deflecting to another marginalization they experience. But Black people still aren’t safe just being Black here. That’s that on that.

Instead of supporting trans people by harassing strangers, support trans people by supporting trans people. For instance, buying their books and reading their stories. Hey look, a thread!

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

In THREE MONTHS, France built a base to house the largest concentration of troops in Paris since WWII. It will accommodate 2500 troops, has mess hall, showers, etc. and is less than 30 min from each Olympics venue. Video includes interview of American soldier, one of non French reinforcements.

"Those moved on include asylum seekers, as well as families and children already in a precarious and vulnerable situation... removing them from their usual networks of healthcare and support." “The Île-de-France region has been emptied of the people that the powers that be consider undesirable.”

Hey, #PortfolioDay! I'm Morteraphan, concept artist and illustrator. Love to draw vampires, wolves and lots of flowers! 🗝️

Is it hard to get approved to write stories within Dnd and VTM etc? I think I prefer my own set up, but it would be good fun.

Couple minutes on the bad app and I'm battling stress again. It was so relaxing with my dog visiting yesterday, I gotta breath deep and try to get back to that mood. I really don't want my stress pain issues back. The world feels so unjust. Let's make it better. I'm here for #disabilityjustice

🦋Good morning Bluesky! 🦋 Are you an artist? Do you have a shop? Are your commissions open? Need more eyeballs on your work for one reason or another? Reply to this post and I will repost for the next few days. It’s time for an artshare! 🎨 #artistsonbsky #art #signalboost ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Young people care. They act.

Far too many cis people have opinions on "the trans issue" BECAUSE they don't know any trans people. Trans people are just people. Trans kids are just kids. They're being abandoned and some of them will lose their lives as a result. Please share the linked news article. Thanks.

Alt-text is what adds respect for your project.

I have been trying to think of ways to support legacies of artists after they pass, because I know so many people who are immensely talented, & in my group or friends, the temporary nature of life comes up a lot. This is a really great way to do it. Joyous Judy xoshdarkheart.itch.io/photobank-la...

I should probably avoid social media. The way the world is burning, it's only a matter of time my depression blows up, again. I don't mean stop caring or doing what I can. But the onslaught is quite heavy.

This is fachism. The amount of people needing help, because their government is not taking care of them, is alarming. What is a country for if not for it's people?

"I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight." — Malcolm X.

I have been feeling really guilty, I didn't know, that 30% of queer people in Finland have experienced a form of Conversion therapy. I do not have numbers on the types, though. It's disgusting. Finland is a disgrace.

This is accurate and doesn't get explain nearly enough.

I am not kidding. Social Security depends on young workers. Immigration is what keeps it going. These young recent immigrants are not drawing from Social Security right now! Once they start working, they pay INTO it! Why can't anyone SAY that?

Today I realised, I want to make art videos and music. I have no bandwidth for learning music softwares beyond very basics, so it will likely be the two things mushed together for my own, and maybe five other people's entertainment. But felt good to realise this. Also, I want to start dancing.

Found Cowboy Bepop finally, and gotta say, it has been as good as I expected, so far. Yeah, some things aren't right like weird close ups on boobs. Anyway, glad I found it. And glad some of us have moved on from chauvinist timelines. The music is really inspiring.

Was with family for Midsummer yesterday, and was able to just hang out a lot, listening to my show with ear plugs on while dog was napping or one of my family was watching something next to me. I always have dreams after where I try to get people to do that. It's what I miss having the most.

Are you offering your opinion on the discourse when you could be offering a discount to Gazan families?

Lots of people have asked me how to help accounts from Gaza on here- so here is one way! If you have something you'd like to offer to people if they donate to a Gazan GoFundMe fill out this form: forms.gle/VEBkn4V3P7aqRCF76 and I will put your benefit on this doc: docs.google.com/document/d/1tX0n…

Why are some protesters attacking cultural heritage and not the problematic things such as corporations, polluters, celebrity culture, tourism industry (rather than the sacred sites!) Is media focusing on the bad stuff only? The effect is negative. Nobody goes "wow, I will change" this way.

once again noting that if you want to do a disruptive, attention-getting climate protest, a thing you could do is shut down a prominent pro golf tournament instead of attacking priceless artistic or cultural artifacts

No, I don’t want to ‘check’ my writing with an AI tool which will demand I randomly ditch every passive. No, I don’t want AI to organise my work day. And no, I certainly don’t want a job making AI ‘safer and more accurate’. The best way to make things more accurate and safer is SABOTAGING that shit.

I can't remember a tech campaign this relentless.

I think I explained things wrong, as nobody replied, when I asked, whether someone like me who has no STEM knowledge can write scifi. I'm wondering, whether Iim thinking of the wrong genre? Is it futuristic fantasy or something? I mean even scifi books focused on romance seem to have some technical>

Everyone should go by their own timing, but I'd like to warn you off waiting until you burn out totally, as I did. (Not that everyone will). If I could go back to age 20, I'd try to learn to enjoy my own company faster, and avoid people who require too much of my energy. But we live and learn.

In my experience, survivors don't back down from trauma recovery because they're "cowards" or desire to "stay stuck." They get intimidated into backing off, because their conditioning convinces them they CAN'T recover-- and/or trying to do so is dangerous. It's bullsh*t. Resist.

My dog is visiting me with just one day between, and she is back in our routine. We had a break in visits as dad was having pains and I didn't want him to hurt himself. Tara can't be walked by me and mom due to health. Anyway, I think she got a bit annoyed I'm on my phone during nap time. Gotta go!
