REAL COMPASSION? IS NOT EASY. IS NOT JUST FEELING SORRY FOR SOMEONE.

WHEN WE HELP OTHERS, WE GIVE TIME! ENERGY!

COMPASSION COST SOMETHING! DAT WHY IT MEAN SOMETHING! REAL CARING TAKE EFFORT AND SACRIFICE!

BUT WURTH IT! CUZ WHEN YOU HELP CARRY SOMEONE’S BURDEN, YOU BOTH GET STRONGER.

"When you bring the element of policing into a mental health crisis of any kind, the risks can increase exponentially — even becoming deadly: According to the Washington Post, over a three-year period, police officers shot and “killed the individuals they were called to assist” at least 178 times."

Lil Nas X faces felony charges of "battery" against an officer from an arrest during a mental health crisis in late August. I wrote about my family member's experience with police being sent during mental health episodes—still common for wellness checks—and how it ruined their life.

Why Lil Nas X's Arrest Is More Proof Police Have No Business Treating the Mentally Ill

"Police generally aren’t trained or qualified to respond to mental health crises."

This isn't like the average online petition btw, this is one of those things where if it gets enough signatures, the HOC absolutely must bring it to the floor for discussion. Incredibly important to get on this if you're Canadian.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

It's tragic in its way. Her ED is the *3rd* thing we ever learn about her, the first being her friendship with Freddy (her running to go check on him in the intro cinematic), the second being her particular love of music. And then her ED takes over with the Vanny Virus and her personality fades away

I find there's always at least one person following me who doesn't know this: The first kiss between two Transformers in TF fiction was between Arcee, a transgender (yes you read that right) lesbian, and Aileron, another female Autobot.

Also the original voice actor is a gay woman.

Arcee is ours.

Say what you will about Go-Bots, but Tonka and Hanna-Barbera had the right idea when it came to female characters: "they're fucking toy robots, kids aren't gonna care that some of them are girls".

The Canadian Parliament building illuminated in the colors of the Ukrainian flag in solidarity with Ukraine, commitment to democracy, and as a sign of eternal friendship and unity. Nearly 1.3 million Ukrainians call Canada home. #3E #StandWithUkraine

The image shows the Canadian Parliament building illuminated in the colors of the Ukrainian flag (blue and yellow) at night.

World Central Kitchen got fired on in Gaza by Israel, had members killed, and went back anyway because people shouldn't have to starve to death. This is an amazing humble bundle.

People see art they find gross or that depicts something that is wrong in real life and go nuts saying it's illegal. Bro. Rape and csem aren't illegal because they're gross, they're illegal because they harm people. Art of fictional characters doing gross stuff is not harming people.
