It is thought by some that magic began to leave the world the day the last dragon died.
It is not known if she was ever given a proper name.

This dragon earned his name from his habit of hunting and feasting upon dead dragons, newborn hatchlings and even dragon eggs.

Tiny matching babies. ❤️ (Pic taken while they were taken out to be weighed.) They're adorable, but also it's ridiculous that mama's are still having new litters so late in the year. Spay/neuter and TNR are so important, I can't say it enough!

Two little ~6day old brown tabby kittens being securely held in two gloved hands. Their eyes are still closed and their ears are round little bumps on the sides of their heads.

An "ugly mud brown" dragon known for his taste for mutton and thus was given his name by the local smallfolk.

One of the three wild dragons residing on Dragonstone. A notably shy dragon, preferring to stay away from humans.

A perfect orange boi. He's not even technically available yet and already has interested adopters. ❤️

I'm holding an orange and white tabby kitten in my arms. He is about 3m old. He's looking at the camera with some confusion on his face bc we were struggling to get him to look in that direction.

This is an amazing mama cat. ❤️ She has two brown tabby neo kittens, but the white and black aren't hers. They came in yesterday from a situation where their own mama didn't come back due to construction. Mom cats won't always take in extra kittens, but this one is nursing all four like a champ. ❤️

Gorgeous black cat on her side in a shelter kennel, on an orange towel. She has a pile of two tiny brown tabby and two tiny white/black neo kittens curled up around her.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

"we all have different opinions" well guess what Kiera, the woman you're sane-washing is furiously advocating a world where trans people don't GET to have a different opinion

I mean imagine playing Umbridge while saying the real-life Umbridge is chill

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

Wes Streeting once against demonstrating that he knows fuck all when he accuses @bashback.bsky.social of trying to 'intimidate women into silence'. Contrary to his drivel, BASH BACK are one of the few groups openly fighting real systems of violence against trans people AND cis women in the UK!

A post by Wes Streeting, sharing an article about BASH BACK trans vandalizing the FiLiA 'feminist' conference in Brighton, with Streeting adding:

"This kind of violent direct action is disgraceful. It is designed to intimidate people - in this case women - into silence and it must not be allowed to happen with impunity."

Precious little girl who came in yesterday. She looks sad in this pic, but she's okay. ❤️ Little mini Lumi except not so round, lol.

Little torbie/calico kitten sitting up in a shelter transfer cage. She has a sad look on her face, but it's just the way she looks in the shot.

Absolutely wild that @commandersterling.bsky.social was ranting this week about how the word"cozy" has become pervasive in video games and I see this at my local library today

Poster at the library's video section advertising "cozy horror" movies; it's a collage of original posters for the films The Fog, Practical Magic, Misery, Werewolves Within, Let the Right One In, Hocus Pocus, Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton version), Scare Me, and An American Werewolf in London.

If you’ve seen a 1994 Trendmasters 10” Mecha-Godzilla figure, you might’ve been confused about what this alt back plate is for. The packaging makes no mention of it!

But that extra plate is so you can attach the Godzilla Force Garuda to create an American Super Mecha-Godzilla!

I’ve always loved GDC. I went every year for 13 years. I’ve made some of my closest friends at GDC. I met my wife at GDC. I’ve struck life-changing business deals at GDC. I’ve always been inspired, motivated and rejuvenated by GDC.

This AI slop promo video makes me hate GDC.

New TKDB protest for the 1st Nov

transkids deserve better!!

TRANSPHOBIA

ALL OUT AGAINST !!

All out against transphobia! On Saturday, November 1, TERFS intend to march in London, demanding trans exclusionary, discriminatory legislation, and threatening trans people on our streets.

We cannot let this happen unchallenged- they may have been emboldened by the Supreme Court Ruling, but so have we. Just a few days after ruling, we marched through Westminster to express our rage, be with community, and make it clear that we would continue to fight for trans liberation. That march was only the start.

We need as many people possible out again on the first of November, to show up for collective liberation and show the TERFS that they will never divide us. less

And assuming the BBC's quotes from the judge are accurate, he believes a trans woman who has sex with a straight man is by definition a rapist, as he does not believe it possible for straight men to be attracted to trans women without being deceived (which is rape now, but only for trans people).

Lee Hurley @hleehurley.com · 11d

If she'd been married and lied about being single or if she'd been a convicted abuser and lied about that she would not be going to jail.

People lie all the time before sex, during sex and after sex.

If you're trans, that's a crime.

She's been jailed - to be raped every night.

She's in a male jail. Despite living as female since she was 13.

Perhaps the likes of Chappelle, Ansari and CK felt there was less at stake because, by their own estimation, they have already suffered cancellation. Except that their exile from public life appears to include fresh Netflix specials and Grammy awards. Louis CK should count himself lucky; if he’d been caught with his dick in his hand in Najd, rather than Colorado, he may well have retained neither of those appendages (punitive limb amputation is an actual thing).
