To hold out is to be the seed that waits beneath the frost. I have seen the world remade from such small, stubborn things.

Rabbit from behind in an alarmingly casual pose
There was a rabbit digging a hole outside the window at dinner last night and at one point he took a break to do this, which feels like something people shouldn’t be allowed to see
it's longing for low tech high life
CCCC also describes going to the gym and eating well.
Casting a wide net is the same manipulative trick astrology and cold reads and mediums use.
Its social engineering. Its also a logical fallacy:

Could it be, a European country that actually has a sane approach to social media for once?

Psychologists and other literal mental health providers with advanced degrees (like doctorates!) cannot prescribe medications to the patients they see and treat in person but sure why not let an AI startup start people on psychoactive medications
A screenshot of the part of the accessibility settings with the option of “Require alt text before posting” selected
Reminder: including alt-text on your images is helpful in many ways! It increases accessibility, can add context/detail, makes search more effective, & can improve your reach (a lot of us won’t re-share images without alt-text). If you set it as required in accessibility settings, you can’t forget!
me reading this and my first thought is, we must stop exploiting animals, which includes keeping dogs and cats as pets
Can a trans person who does an enormous amount of unpaid work be wrong and not handle criticism well in the moment, and still not be labeled as "probably not an honest broker" the moment that happens
Beautiful crow against a black background
It seems to me that the time is ripe for a Bluesky thread about how—and maybe even why—to befriend crows.

There is a long philosophical tradition of civil disobedience from many different sources including Thoreau, Ghandi & Peter Singer. Alberta UCP Bill 25 will make it unlawful to teach about social change through the disobedience of laws.

People who use AI for "other stuff" are just the "sportsmen and hunters" of the bullshit gun debate. Any money going to this shit is evil.
Authors personal beliefs (no matter how horrible) can inform how or if you engage with their work, but they’re not that important or interesting. Authors personally funneling their enormous wealth from their work into a hate movement however—you have a duty to care about that.
"....and this would also negatively affect normal people"- Every article about the further marginalization of a marginalized group

Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent.
In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country.
This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎

Buncha folks have already righteously commented on the substance of the NYT's bullshit defensiveness on their demonstrable fuckery, but I wish also to comment on an adjacent problem, which is mainstream/legacy pubs assuming they are essentially immune to criticism or correction
Would you watch a TV show created by David Duke, who had loudly announced that any money he made off it was going into the Klan’s coffers?
No, you say? Only someone who was totally okay with racism would do that?
Then don’t watch Harry Potter.
I have X on my passport and 100% of my cis friends look confused when I say I can't travel to the US
Anohni!!!!
That drop-in centre is so good! New West must protect it at all costs
In recent days, AMA communications to the New York Times have requested a correction on their part to reflect the actual language the AMA used in response to their inquiry. Additionally, a letter to the editor has been submitted requesting a public correction—this was neither a policy change nor was it an endorsement of a position taken by another medical society. In addition, during Congressional testimony in mid-March, I had the opportunity to set the record straight stating to the Subcommittee on Health of the House Energy and Commerce Committee that there has been no change in AMA policy with respect to access to and provision of gender-affirming care. This will appear in the Congressional Record.
The American Medical Association directly responds to New York Times coverage mischaracterizing their posiiton on gender affirming care for trans young people.
