People who hate furries are fuckin weird to me, man. I hear “ew a furry” and I’m just like “Oh that tells me everything I need to know about you, as a person.”

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Hi. There is an influx of government sites and I’m gonna use what little clout I have

To say

Don’t bait them.

pay them DUST.

Commit to boosting coverage of what they do, centering the voices of who they target .

In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them

I have decided to subscribe to bsky.app/profile/did:... and use it for blocking, not just muting. If there's ever a regime change, I'll reconsider, but right now I *do not want to see this fascist crap*.

i think twitter instilled a terrible habit within us that we need to engage with accounts we dislike but you'd be shocked how blocking and not engaging is the most radical thing you can do because not giving an account engagement, just shunning it out of existence, is genuine deplatforming

an illustration of book being pierced through by a sword, from the wound the thorns with red tips are growing, slowly changing into flowers, a red bookmark is there to symbolize blood.

No notes

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

Just thinkin' bout stuff. Photo from my collection, ca. 1940s.

Black and white photo of a little shorthaired tabby kitten sitting on a porch railing, looking kind of vacant and possibly depressed (I’m sure he was fine, it’s just that his gaze is turned downward in a way that would be interpreted as forlorn in a human).

Also: I know this is going to be nearly impossible for some people due to how fucked up things are, and if that’s you, I’m so sorry. It’s additional injury on top of everything else.

There’s a lot to be upset about, and I don’t advise putting your head in the sand, but it is really bad for your brain to be mad all the time on a purely physiological level.

If you possibly can, take time to put down the mad.

It will help you think more clearly and remember why you’re doing this.

a 3d render of clefairy with a sleepy cap on. she is holding onto a fuzzy purple blanket while holding onto the phone with her other hand. she is in the bedroom, cozied up in her bed, with some pillows and books on the floor, and sparkling lights to make the night peaceful.

A render of Porygon2 in a swimming pool. It is floating alongside a Psyduck floatie that is carrying a can of lemonade, along with a tube float and a ball in the pool. In the background, a few strands of palm tree leaves are visible behind the pool scene.

What happens to a chao when it gets sent away? A 3d render based on the Chao from Sonic Adventures DX when you try to send your Chao away forever. This Chao has a tear in its eye and is holding a bindle to prepare for its new life.

3d render of azumarill in a space suit, floating. surrounded by stars and curious cleffa, azurill is waving to a cleffa floating near by it. they appear to be on a moon, crater-like surface.
