This is a truth so simple that if it is not self-evident to you, you desperately need to reconnect with your humanity.
Every techie and cyberpunk aficionado has failed if they've excluded furries. It's testament to the lack of imagination these "visionaries" truly have, creating a virtual world where your boring toon self goes to meetings instead of being a 50 foot big-tiddie dragon-woman who steps on cars.
The division has lost over $77 billion since its inception in 2020.

Looking for herbs/spice ideas for scrambled eggs and do a search to that effect.
The article I opened up listed "fresh herbs" as its third recommendation. Oh thank you.

Aging does not make women less beautiful and we shouldn't fall into that trap in any genre. Having expression lines, gray hair, changed bodies, should not be things thst someone is still attractive "in spite of" but BECAUSE of. Let's normalize beauty at any and every age.

The point here is not to praise white folks, but to valorize solidarity. We need to band together to get this shit outtt.
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Seeing the people walking to the protest outside my city apartment has my heart singing. Every type of person you can imagine. Just saw a middle aged white guy, looks like a blue collar type, alone but proudly holding an anti-ice sign? Amazing.
Guys, we got this. We can overcome this shit.
