he's probably met them before.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Dug up some old art and found this bobcat pencil sketch that I did nearly 20 years ago (ugghh) for a commissioned portfolio of Central California wildlife.

Dick Durben “ICE must be reformed”

Darryl Ayo “indeed. Reforms in two steps. Step one: eliminate the agency entirely. Step two: prosecute all violations of civil rights and constitutional law”

Wtf

the deployment of mRNA vaccine technology was a monumental leap in medical advancement and the crowning achievement of Donald Trump's first presidency but now his administration is scuttling it because their political coalition exists in opposition to the concept of expertise

Because people are philosophizing about AI again, here's another reminder that it's just math. And what is that math optimized for? Generally it's for plausibility rather than accuracy. These two things are not interchangeable, and neither thing is intelligence.

Three years gone, but not forgotten by your community. 🏳️‍⚧️💔

RIP Brianna.

We joined 140 feminist and LGBTQ+ organisations together to call on the United Kingdom to scrap ‘bathroom ban’ policies and ensure trans inclusion 🏳️‍⚧️🇬🇧 transsolidarityalliance.com @transsolidarity.bsky.social

Reform used exactly the same deceptive tactic in Caerphilly as they’ve been caught using in Gorton & Denton.

Breaking Electoral Commission codes has a maximum fine of £20K - Likely factored in to the cost of ‘doing business’ and drop in the ocean for a Party funded by the rich elite! 😣

Relationships between Jews and Christians definitely are the foundation of this country but perhaps not like that.

The crusades the Christian right in the UK worships so much were funded by expropriating a Jewish underclass while inventing blood libel & Jewish banker stereotypes that persist today.

Not trans, not a drag queen

A picture a friend of mine posted in a Discord. Its several Harry Potter books on Audible for an ad.

"In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

You cannot sell the concept of freedom, democracy, liberty, or diversity as a brand attribute when you simultaneously bomb/eliminate/evaporate children/people.

and, I can’t believe I have to say that: queer kids need online community, because they are far more likely to be isolated, get bullied and harassed in real life, so isolating them even more is -not protecting them-.
this is also -the point of age verification-.

You know you’ve fucked up bad when The Boss is writing protest songs about you

I think about this post a lot.

This is what epistemic vandalism looks like. Not just erasure, but insisting on a standard of communication that is by default dehumanizing, degrading and degendering, laundered as neutral language on pseudoscientific grounds.

Encoding bias into how we are even referred to.
