Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. People are concerned. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

A verdant commission for @yrrufaton.bsky.social Forest Warden doesn't mind going on lonely patrols in overgrown places. In fact, it's where he feels most at home.

<sigh> I'm also seeing a lot of "The DNC isn't supporting (insert candidate here) and that means Ken Martin doesn't care about (insert demographic here)." I am imploring everyone to understand that the DNC does not support individual candidates in midterms! That's not what it does! Please!

For this Indigenous Peoples Day, your astonishing artifact is the earliest known Indigenous depiction of a European — a wood carving from Nunavut dated to 1350. 🧪🏺

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

reblog by aphony-cree

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

Addendum: people enjoy discussing things they're familiar with, and corporate media has the marketing economy of scale to make a lot of people familiar with their products. That can start a positive feedback loop. Achieving that social penetration as an indie project is extremely difficult.

If corporations aren't marketing to your community, it's because your community is too small* to be a profitable demographic. It's a matter of scale. -- * Social acceptance reduces the costs of marketing to marginalized communities, making such marketing more profitable and thus more common.

When people gripe about "organized" (institutionalized) religion, I think about the vices of disorganized religion: - refusal to interrogate their institutional, intellectual, and social genealogies - abuses inherent to small-scale societies - lack of wider networks or vocabulary

Weirdness itself doesn't keep corporations out of social spaces; the perception of weirdness stems from not being socially normative, which is mainly a function of scale and morality. Corporations will profit from anything legal that has a large enough customer base.

Please get competent editors. I don't mean copy editors (although those are also good), I mean people who will read your stuff and tell what is good and what is garbage that only makes sense to you.

I'm in the same boat. The only benefit it would give in, say, the workplace would be queer visibility, but we're not really struggling for that, and I feel it might inspire questions I don't want to address in that space.

"Keep furry weird" cannot exist when we continue to tolerate and excuse people doing these public harassment campaigns scrutinizing weird art for being the wrong kind of weird. No one wants to make weird art when they're afraid some 50k follower bara artist will rake them over the coals for it.

That's not an academic history of (Argentine) discourse about the islands; that's a present-day argument about the islands :P

Thing I want to read but 1) might not exist or 2) if it does, is hard to find: - an academic history of Argentine political/popular discourses about the Falklands/Malvinas Not a listing of the arguments, but a contextualized history of them: when and how did they arise, how have they evolved, etc.

Of Silk and Storm 🍂 A gentleman beneath stormy Alpine skies, dressed in silk and gold. My latest commission for Steppenfire from FA. I had so much fun bringing his character to life ❤️ #autumnflameart #furryart #anthroart #fantasyart #characterart #horseart #equineart #artcommission
Painterly fantasy illustration of an elegant anthropomorphic black Friesian horse in an ornate blue and gold outfit, holding a walking cane. His long mane and tail flow in the wind as he stands against a dramatic backdrop of sunlit Alpine mountains and clouds.
