"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

There's always some dude who is like "Well, the right got Kavanaugh so why can't we have--"

BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT OUR OWN FUCKING KAVANAUGH, ZERO KAVANAUGHS IS ENOUGH KAVANAUGHS.

If I never have to read some person saying "what happened to innocent until proven guilty" about why some guy should still be elected to one of the most powerful positions in the country despite numerous sexual assault allegations it will be too soon

Reporting isn't a scavenger hunt. The story isn't always there somewhere, ready to be told, if you just look hard enough. You need people who want to talk.

This morning, when it was just one woman, a bunch of folks were like, "Sounds like a political hit to me." Now that there's 4 & y'all are mad.

Seeing a lot of hostility towards indie journalists who'd long heard rumors of Salwell's abuses but didn't report on them, & I'm sorry, but that's not how journalism works. This isn't sitting on a story for a book. You can't report w/o sources. You can't out victims who aren't ready to go on record.

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

saveusfs.org, launched on April 6th, contains multiple examples of identical or near-identical phrasing to this article by Jim Pattiz in Hatch, published just four days earlier on April 2nd.

Let's look at some examples.

AltNPS has been focused on the threat to the US Forest Service this week, and even launched a website in an effort to pressure brands to speak out. And that's great! There's just one problem.

They plagiarized the whole thing.

Buying direct from authors -or small presses- is a great way to support us. But there isn't a store with everyone's direct links on it so... Direct Sales Thread!

Indie Authors,
Describe your books, drop a graphic & a link to your direct store/ small press! (eg. Payhip/ Kofi/ Itchio etc)

Those institutions have been absolutely gutted under Trump, and not just because he asked.

Establishment and university leadership never likes getting protested, they were happy to gut and attack organized hubs of protest to "protect" their schools.

We are seeing the fruits of an intentional, structural gutting and undermining of traditional avenues of protest by young people.

Activists on campuses fought for the institutionalization and resourcing of movement space and studies (especially racial, cultural, queer, women's, etc).

I'm 40 been protesting and organizing since I was 16, I've organized a union consisting entirely of people in their late teens and early 20's, I professionally organized students for a decade.

I'm STILL around engaged young folks and families.

So here's my perspective (cont):

A Brief History of Whiteness

”Lily,” named after Lily Bart, is a new fintech company that siphons money from wealthy accounts who won’t even notice the withdrawals”

What if all the new tech companies were named after characters in Howards End

That is not to say I’m especially worried or am trying to say the heat shield is unsafe. I’m not saying that at all. But re-entry is a big risk. Remember, that’s how we lost Columbia.

For all the “spaceflight is normal” folks, a reminder that this is only the SEVENTH vehicle NASA has ever tested with humans (two of which were SpaceX and Boeing) and the second coming in from the moon. It’s not normal or routine at all. This is a test flight, which is inherently risky.

Artemis II's last test: Will its heat shield work? Excess charring on Artemis I's heat shield had NASA racing to understand what went wrong—and to ensure the technology was still safe for the current crew's high-speed reentry.

I can say without hesitation that this is the HARDEST article I have ever written, but I am incredibly proud of it.

If you have questions about Orion’s heat shield, given the issues with Artemis I, I hope I can provide some answers:

Oh yeah I’ve got that [post-nasal] drip.

I like how many ppl are like"this is a dog owner thing specifically" when this "I want mine fuck you" attitude is literally the bedrock of the anti masking and maga movements

To be fair, that's true too!

Yes, "TACO Tuesday" was fitting. But let's not forget that this was deeply disturbing. He said he would annihilate an entire civilization. Majority innocent. Real people. Real lives. This was no joke and nothing to joke about.

The exact people who say ‘but you’re alienating half your audience!’ Are making burner accounts to post homophobic sewage on every article talking about Starfleet Academy.

Make your art.
Not art you think will mean bigots don’t hate you in public

There are only two categories of iron in the world: Your absolute best friend for life, or your nemesis

Good news, no more procrastination needed. My iron has decided to malfunction 😭

My entire costuming history is me trying to make myself regret my life choices

a woman says " well that 's a design flaw " in a dark room Alt: Captain Nahla Ake says *blink* "well that 's a design flaw"

Well, my first version will be at least. I have two other fabric options and I'm going to make all three to see which I like the best because I do not understand how her uniform jacket works from the tv show.

Of course, because it's Star Trek, it's a structured jacket made out of @#*%ing neoprene.

Because of course it is

Am I procrastinating on actually making the muslin for my Nahla Ake jacket by shitposting on Bluesky about it? Yes. Yes, I am.

(It's my first proper structured jacket draft, y'all. It's SCARY)
