Thanks to Janine Tattoos and @dyemadyarns.bsky.social for an awesome pop-up on Saturday to raise money for the queer youth drop in center in my city!! It was great to spend time crafting with some awesome people and add to my accidental space arm 🪡🌒 🧶

Small joy: I fixed my vacuum!! I’m injured in multiple places and my inability to do a lot has been stressing me out this weekend so I sat down and completely took the vacuum apart and managed to fix it and I’m proud of myself ☺️

The fact that they can't get a random sampling of citizens from any city to indict people for interfering with ICE seems more informative than any political poll, tbh

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

The best part of how Portland is handling this is they’re not only protesting, but also angering the goose steppers by not taking them seriously.

Pretty genius. Because even ICE & the national guard don’t want to be displayed as that asshole fighting people in cute costumes.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Love my undercut and am so tempted to expand it but I don’t love the gymnastics of multiple bathroom mirrors I need to do to trim it myself. Finally cleaned it up and found my bat gauges to celebrate spooky season and I’m feeling good 🎃🦇

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:

If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

Oregon is set to lose an additional $400 million in federal grants awarded for climate action and is among more than a dozen Democratic states losing federal funding after the Trump administration terminated nearly $8 billion for those states this week.

We're currently in an internet-wide moral panic around sex and particularly around kink. I am begging people to internalize that CNC stuff is most often just two consenting adults playing pretend together in healthy ways that can honestly help heal trauma!

bsky.app/profile/sage...

𝕊𝕒𝕘𝕖🍃 @sagegarnish.bsky.social · May 8

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

Consensual Non-Consent In Real Life

A 3 panel comic

Panel 1: Kink Negotiation

Blushing Person: I was thinking maybe we could try out some CNC play...

Person #2: Yeah, we can totally try that out, sweetie! We should plan out what we're willing to do!

Panel 2: "The Scene"

Person #2: The sex pollen.... it's... taking over. I... I can't...Hnngg....

Blushing Person: Noo! Please, you have to snap out of it!

Panel 3: Aftercare
Blushing Person: Thanks so much, that was fun. Let's do it again sometime.

[end of comic]

"The Scene" is the fantasy within a CNC framework.

Some fictional works tell a story depicting two (or more) characters following the process of doing CNC kink, just as they would in real life: Consent discussion, Kink negotiation, “The Scene", and Aftercare.

[image of a blushing person reading the above comic]

Some fictional works focus on “The Scene only. A framing device is not required, as the fantasy is contained fully within the story. This lets the reader engage in the kink the same way as if they were engaging in “The Scene" portion of the CNC play.

[image of a blushing person reading only “The Scene” panel from the above comic]

CNC play, and both sorts of fiction are normal and healthy!

A friend recognized the entertainment potential of the big AUTISM ANNOUNCEMENT graphic but replaced Kennedy’s face with a much better alternative:

A large graphic advertising “autism announcement” in all caps with a background of DNA helix silhouettes. The original photos accompanying it have been replaced by Bert from Sesame Street and a large pigeon.
