If you are in the US and can become pregnant, I would strongly encourage you to seek out long-term contraceptive options if you can. Implants and IUDs, for example. Access to reproductive healthcare will likely continue to get worse.

It has been said before. I will say it again. The way this TTRPG “community” treats Black women, femmes & NBs is a fucking disgrace. What do we have to do to prove our pain is real? How much blood to we have to publicly spill? It’s a miracle some of us are still standing.

I just saw something on my tiktok feed about a newly discovered stop on the underground rail road so to speak. Y'all... might not want to announce where those are and might instead try to preserve places where people can hide and escape and move....

Had an old friend from high school that just moved back to Oz from the US claim that Australians lack ambition and there are no success stories outside of sports in this country. Fuck, most Americans I know are struggling to survive and have no thoughts of wanting to be the next muskrat

I don't know why the idea of developing concept art with AI is somehow meant to convince us that AI isn't replacing creative professions, when concept art is one of the single most creative and imaginative parts of the entire development process.

Can y'all just stop using the terms Nordic or Scandinavian to try to get away with cultural appropriation? "I want to claim it's 'exotic' and ancient but it has to still be white" seems to be the logic behind it and for some weird reason.

A 77 year old man sent a postcard to Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia that simply read: “You lack values.” Police showed up at his door. This is not only a first amendment violation but a clear sign of how fast the fascists are moving to censorship and constant monitoring.

They did this with crypto (black people) and NFTs (women)--and it was very funny. I still have immense levels of side-eye for Reese Witherspoon and Brie Larson for that NFT nonsense. Hov and Dorsey aren't slick either.

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.

ICE targets immigrants. RFK Jr targets the disabled, elderly & vulnerable. The whole regime targets marginalized people, those living in poverty and LGBTQ+ individuals. They’re targeting everyone who they’ve deemed “less than”. Everyone is expendable under fascism. It comes for all eventually.

The idea that protesters in LA shouldn’t give him a pretext for violence presupposes that he needs or cares about a pretext. If you protesters stay home, then he’s going to keep kidnapping people and use the lack of protests as proof that everyone agrees with him.
