I'm not even a furry, but I've always seen furries as a "friendly faction." They're an accepting community that pushes freedom of self-expression, freedom to be "weird" without shame or guilt. The exact mentality the right wing despises. The internet is a better place because furries are part of it

I just realized that even though I can't really feel anything in this stage of my life, I can at this particular moment feel love for my friends, and that's really nice. Tell your friends you love them. They deserve to hear it

Butterbutt. An older comic.
A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

An illustration done mostly with digital colored pencils. Ok, so we have a wooden coffin in the classic top-heavy hexagon shape. The coffin is propped up at an angle on nothing against a background of gray-blue paint splatters as a spooky sheet ghost rises out of it. Although it’s not a real sheet as it’s translucent and there’s nothing inside of it except a gape-mouthed green skull in the approximate head position within the sheet. The ghost is wearing a big. floppy, black witch’s hat and there’s a little brown bat hanging down from the wide brim. The ghost’s arms are extended holding a jack o’ lantern with a one-toothed frowny face carved into it. Popping out of the jack o’ lantern is a a black cat with green eyes balancing the cap of the pumpkin on his head. And on the stem of the pumpkin cap is a very serious-looking brown speckled owl. A series of spooky speech balloons is chained together around all this , each balloon containing one word and associating back tot he spooks and creatures named in the reverse order listed. The lettering in the balloons is red and drippy and reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

I’m listening to a podcast about AI psychosis and it reminds me so much of spiritualism in the early twentieth century: also a con, also preyed on people who were convinced it promised some eternal truths wrapped up in great personal significance.

Let's give quartz the crown it deserves. A classic, beloved since childhood, available in many beautiful colors (amethyst is quartz), the iconic shape you imagine if you think of crystal, and so much more. Vote quartz!

Phew, the news is dark. Here’s a moment of beauty to catch your breath 🌿
The sun sets in a layer of yellow sky at the horizon and the blue sky and pink clouds above and a line of trees silhouetted and a dark stone wall in the foreground. It’s very peaceful.

And media making it official policy to treat those attacks as fair game that they would not take seriously, report on, or treat as harmful — even when leveled at their own reporters. Now the White House points GamerGate at its targets daily, through the owners of the social platforms themselves.

Literally MeToo happened and a lot of guys responded in shock and horror because they hadn't realized how bad it was. That was nearly ten years ago. It is still that bad. It *needs* to change - and, men, we need you to do something about it. We can't do it all ourselves.

I love graphite SO much. BUT not as much as I love quartz. I really think this is quartz's year, and I think we need this. In a time of fear, pain, and uncertainty, let's celebrate the joy and wonder of being a kid falling in love with rocks and minerals for the first time. #teamquartz as always
