waow! the colors, their gorgeous smile and hair, the fact that they love fossils…

in case you all forget that ICE isn’t the only enemy.

I don’t think all cops are bad because of the actions of a few.

I know all cops are “bad” because all cops, as a condition of their employment, swear to enforce all laws, including laws which are unjust and initiate violence on peaceful people. It’s the job they are sworn to do. Pledging to suspend morality and logic in order to unquestioningly impose the will of psychopaths and sociopaths on your fellow man is morally unacceptable.

So yes, all cops are bad, but not because of the actions of a few. There are good people, and there are cops who are otherwise good people. But there are no good cops.

having a clingy cat is both a privilege and a curse sometimes 😭 she loves to be Right There all the time and it’s so hard to get some space to get ready

the fossils are absolutely worth the trip, but i worry how much may have been taken down for censorship purposes (climate change, questionable history of anthropology, etc). there’s so much too see there, and i can’t even imagine what wonderful knowledge is held in the archives. here’s my fav rock!

how it started vs how it’s going! 3 months of shrimp keeping has been amazing so far and i’m thrilled with the growth my tank is showing. i started with 11 orange pumpkins (and later 11 blue dreams), we now have TONS of babies! can’t wait to see what another 3 months looks like! #ShrimpSky

shrimp tank from july 2025. a few orange pumpkin neocaridina shrimp are visible on a log, dragonstone, and baby tear plants in the front.

shrimp tank from october 2025. many neocaridina shrimp are visible throughout the tank, with a wide variety of colors and sizes. a lot of them are in the front left corner, on and around a stick of food. the plant life has also changed, with hardier plants surviving better across the months

i’ve got so many gorgeous wild types in my shrimp tank now, and they keep having more babies! it’s wonderful to see how many i have, but i’m so scared of sucking them up into the siphon when i do water changes (i thoroughly search my buckets afterwards for stowaways, don’t worry!) #ShrimpSky

a gorgeous green tinted wild type neocaridina shrimp peeks out from a hole in a dragonstone, sitting next to a large orange pumpkin neocaridina shrimp. a canopy of java moss hangs over their heads, and many little specks float around from a recent food tablet that was placed nearby.

a wide shot of the densely planted shrimp tank, with a huge variety of sizes and colors of shrimp visible. many babies can especially be seen feeding along the back wall, which has a denser coating of algae than the front and sides

another close up of a wonderful neocaridina shrimp peeking out from the dragonstone, this one a smaller blue dream. its eyes look very silly and googly. on the ledge above it, a teeny tiny baby shrimp sits facing right, and more orange and blue shrimps can be seen out of focus in the background.

reddit is very funny about shrimps climbing out of the water, i love r/ShrimpTank and r/DryShrimp

From shrimptank community on Reddit:

A caption reads “Stop them! “You missed your chance, pal!” If you see a Horrid Beast evolving, Push It Back In”

A shrimp attempts to climb out of “Their filthy Water” to “Our blessed Ground” being blocked by spears and an outstretched human hand.

of all the work i did as a studio aid at my university ceramics studio, the test tile wall is my proudest (and most satisfying) achievement. i selected and tested each glaze, then mixed 20 gallons worth of each of the nine glazes, and made the test tiles by hand using our class reclaim.

a diagonal view of the test tile wall i made, with circular glaze test tiles arranged in a grid displaying layering combinations. the tiles where the top and bottom glazes are the same are slightly larger than the others.

post a random picture or everything else will go bad in September no doom vibes from me, but i love these threads

two ghasts from minecraft, white octopus-looking monsters. they are facing each other, with one at mid-height to the other. the caption is “she ghastly on my nethers” referring to the nether, which is the world where the ghasts live

new tank setup with orange pumpkin shrimpies and kuhli loaches (and some hitchhiker snails that came with my plants) #ShrimpSky

a ten gallon rimless tank with several plants, a large rock with many holes, and a log tube. there is a moss ball on the layer of white sandy substrate in the front, which sits above dark gravel. there are a few bright orange pumpkin shrimp on the rock, the log, and the patch of dwarf baby tears. a loach is peeking out from the bottom right corner of the rock.

saw this without alt text, so here’s your reminder to Please Fucking Use Alt Text for images with text, since a lot of screen readers cannot read it!

They Will Call You Violent
If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because "violence" is an elastic term of. ten deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent.
Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of imprisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to "peaceful protest," they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

in honor of pride month, a double rainbow 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ pride must continue to be a demand for recognition and equity, not just a party where corporations temporarily cater to us to get our money. never forget that this movement was sparked by the hard work of those who had no other choice but to fight.

there is nothing intelligent about so-called “AI”, and i’m tired of it being referred to as such

A screenshot of a Tumblr feed showing a meme template: on the left side, a woman is grimacing overlayed with the text “artificial intelligence (ai)”. on the right side, the woman is making a curious/happier face, overlayed with the text “plagiarized information synthesis system (piss)”. Beneath the image, two replies read “your daily reminder” and “it’s official, genAI is now called PISS”
