So this is just legitimate ragebait. The context was specifically about expanding the Nintendo IPs and the Nintendo Museum where they can see and use old hardware. Here's the question and answer

🚨BREAKING: Protestors show up as JD Vance, Trump, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller in prison chains.

I think they were my favorite costumes from the parade. 🤣

If the signs today are any indication of where the electorate is at, mainstream sentiments include:
-Abolish ICE
-ICE is fascist
-ICE would have arrested Jesus
-ICE should get Nuremberged
-Trump is a pedophile
-Free Palestine

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

Important note regarding my local No Kings: we suck at chanting, especially in unison. At one point, due to the size of the crowd and people not hearing each other, three distinct chants were going at once. Total cacophony.

I know this has been said a lot already but I can't get over how fucking juvenile the entire reactionary right is.

They don't care about anything more than owning the libs. They act like kindergarteners. It's just "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you!" over and over again from grown adults.

Keep up the blocking of the White House and all associated accounts.

They’re experiencing psychosis that “leftists are LOSING IT.”

Itagaki Tomonobu

Here was a guy who wore sunglasses at night— indoors— who wore at a minimum 87% black leather and always an obscure metal band t-shirt; a fit, razor-thin guy whose intense, brooding stare could cause brave men to flee and satellites to de-orbit. He looked like a dark anime character come to life, complete with a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his menacing grin, and it took no imagination at all to worry he had a diamond sharp katana ready at any time to separate the head and body of the poor programmer who missed a half millisecond of timing on a block controller. There was no detail of game design or mechanic that escaped him, no ambiguity in his vision of tightness and quality in the feel of a control or the animation of a character. He was the embodiment of the ideal of the hardest edge of combat design, utterly uncompromising and ruthless.
Also, he was the quickest to break a smile, always ready to make a stupid joke, the first ask after your loved ones and to be sure you were well, the very best of friends, the very kindest of fathers, and a very great human being who I very much fear we will not see the like of again anytime soon. I will miss him gravely.

Explaining my situation (reposted with alt text) ‼️💕

ko-fi.com/bmbrshblsh

#mutualaid #transaid #helpsky #disabilityaid #vtuber

To explain my situation;

I am a disabled trans woman, and while before I had been able to work just fine, last year before I lost my job I was in and out of doctors offices trying to figure my health out. All of this time off ended up costing me my job in the end, and I have been unemployed since. I deal with a mix of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, which makes my day to day living extremely difficult. I have been financially supported by both Twitch as well as donations since last year, and bills on my end have begun to pile up. I am currently 6000 dollars in credit card debt, and this month alone they want 300 dollars minimum. As well as payment plans I have been on since before I lost my job last year, namely my phone (which I am thankfully almost done paying off). I have been looking consistently for a job for months, especially with my 26 birthday early next year, meaning I will no longer have access to my Fathers insurance, which means unless I get insured I will be paying much more out of pocket for my medications including my hormones.

I want to explain all of this to you so that I can be more transparent about why I am asking for help so often, shit isn't easy right now. If you can send any sort of support, I would appreciate it so much. If not, that's okay. Just spreading the word is more than enough for me.

Thank you.

-Saphie

Don't only watch one type of anime

Diversify

Deliberately go out of your comfort zone

Some of my all time fav animes, were ones I read a description of, said "sounds dumb and boring", but turned out I really loved them

Experiment!
