Like if they someone says something about “the presence of deadly ice” and people don’t know if it’s about the weather or our government?
I feel like the better solution is probably for the government to stop being Nazis.

Frosty faces on the chickadees today. These tiny birds maintain a body temperature of 40C - that's a 70C gradient across only a few centimeters from the outside air to the bird's core! These little guys blow my mind. #birds 🌿

A few months ago I was curious to know how much Anna's Archive was charging AI developers for access to their massive library of pirated works for training - so I emailed them saying I was interested in buying access.
Here is their reply.

This. The question of trans rights is not exclusively about trans people - it's about whether people have the freedom to live the lives they want, or whether we must follow arbitrary and hierarchical social rules. It's about human dignity.
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

The concierge at my apartment, so apologetic, told me about the woman who demanded to know who lives in my unit and why they were ordering vulgar blankets. She took a package not addressed to her, opened it, and was offended to find a huge woven blanket that says BITCH DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A FUCK
