I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia

Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

I’m having a vision: a power rangers rpm x digimon fanfic where the rangers morph alongside their digivolving partners. Scott with biyomon, Flynn gets iceleomon(wip), summer gets monzaemon(wip), ziggy gets betamon, Dillon gets blackgabumon, and I’m gonna give gem and Gemma black and whitechessmon.

The world has become a daily parade of horrors, and I cant even carve out a moment of joy in my silly space wizard stories because all the most interesting projects this decade have been casualties of dumb corporate succession politics.

I actually think it's extremely good and healthy to experience art that makes you uncomfortable. discomfort is not equivalent to real, tangible harm. at the very least y'all should recognize uncomfortable art's right to exist, and to carry on with your life without making it everyone else's problem.

I know I'm always banging on about this, but food banks can do so much more with your donation if you give money rather than food itself.

skáld @danglinghemmie.bsky.social · 16d

food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people

please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

I find it difficult to not get Richard’s route. I had trouble even before it was released. I basically have to avoid him to get anyone else’s route. Not a complaint, just wondering if it’s just me lol. #ExcA

Adrian Bird @bioagemage.bsky.social · 17d

I just finished Richard’s route. Gonna have to replay them all to be sure, but I’m thinking he’s beaten coach for the number two slot. I’ve loved this game since the moment I picked it up way back before Darius’s route was even finished. It’s an honor to be a fan of this amazing story. Thank you!

Powerful letter from a non-verbal autistic person. Give it two minutes of your night and feel your heart expand.

El Sargento García @elsargentogarcia.bsky.social · 19d

🥲 Alt text

To the Editor:
I am one of these so-called profoundly autistic people this article describes. I cannot utter meaningful speech, and as a result, I was branded for years as someone with an intellectual disability and an I.Q. of 40. All this time, however, I understood everything that was going on around me. I just could not show it to others because of my deranged relationship with my own body.
I am concerned about the creation of a separate category, called profound autism, for those of us with the most severe disabilities.
There are real differences between the sort of autism that I have and so-called Asperger's syndrome. But it does not help us at all to impose a hierarchy of lower and higher functioning. We need to figure out how to tap into the skills and insights of those of us who cannot talk, who make up anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent of the autistic community, depending on the estimate.
For me, the way out of this dilemma was learning to communicate by typing. I suddenly went from being seen as intellectually impaired to taking college classes. I was never low-functioning, and neither are my autistic brothers and sisters without the ability to speak. I was just misjudged and ignored, and I fear that my fate will be the fate of many others termed low functioning in this new schema.
