Anyway, fuck you and your colonizer ass holiday. The genocide and oppression of American Indigenous people should not be celebrated.

I found a flea on Cinna no TOT
I gave them their second dose of meds, I think I caught the flea very early!

May I ask how soon should I start washing the blankets and everything, like 1-2 days from now after the meds are definitely in Cinna’s blood stream? :0

PLEASE

we're *all* begging you

full URLs don't belong there either

not only does it defeat the purpose of hashtags and links (clickable), it sounds like hell when read back

before you post alt text, ask yourself "how will this get read back to me via screen reader, and will it make sense?"

Do not put anything other than a description of what is in the media in your ALT text.

ROO! 💙✨ chaotic vtuber

@phroobin.gay

There's a starman waiting in the sky ✨
#OCart #OCsky #vsky #refsheet #phroobINK

A reference sheet showing Roo's vtuber in his true form; a being made from and of the stars. Their hair and body are made of the same substance which is a blue to teal gradient as well as having both stars inside and constellations where tattoos might be. They have large white eyes that glow, a matching smile, and a large star on the left hand side of their chin. A ring system orbits their head, with three planets on them. Matching ring systems circle both wrists. Their outfit is comprised of a dark teal button up shirt that is cropped to show his tummy, and features a star button, a deep v-neck, shoulder cut outs, and bishop sleeves. His trousers are a light blue-grey, and are mostly covered by thigh high stiletto boots in the same colour as his shirt.

To left side of the front and back illustrations is a star map of the constellations on their body. Text reads: "Fig. 1-6; 1, Gemini (shoulder, left); 2, Lynx (spine); 3, Monoceros (forearm, left); 4, Orion (abdomen); 5, Casseopeia (shoulder, right); 6, Canes venatici (lower back, left). Unpictured; 7, Crater (upper thigh, left); 8, Columba (upper thigh, left)." Beneath this is an image showing the three planets in more detail, with Phroob's head in between them. Text reads: "Planets orbit Phroob's head on a ring system like that of the planet Saturn. Why anything would rotate around their empty head is a mystery, though." In between the nude and clothed versions of the design is the colour palette in star shapes.

To the right of the illustration is an small cut in of his mouth, showing his blue tongue, and further to the right of that is text, though this will not fit in the description here so will be continued in the comments.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

Emily Atkin @emorwee.bsky.social · 1d

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water.

What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains.

And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

AI’s water problem is worse than we thought

A new investigation reveals how Amazon is amplifying Oregon’s nitrate pollution crisis.

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.

DCS 🔞 @darkchibishadow.bsky.social · 1d

Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.

Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.
