Know your protest rights and practice peacefully civil disobedience.

A three-panel political cartoon by Gritty20202, titled "Gritty is the Way," compares historical and contemporary events. Each panel features an authority figure saying, "I'm just following orders." The first panel, labeled "1830s American West," shows a U.S. soldier in a cavalry uniform with a Native American man in traditional clothing looking distressed. The second panel, labeled "1940s Nazi Germany," depicts a Nazi officer with a prisoner in a striped concentration camp uniform. The third panel, labeled "Present-Day USA," shows an ICE officer in a tactical vest with a distressed woman and child clinging to each other.

Abolish ICE.

Is t Frieren a delight? It really made me think about the nature of heroism and immortality

It’s a perfectly healthy choice to take your pills with 4 Thin Mints and a glass of milk, right?

I’m so sorry you had to say goodbye. Lynx was an amazing spirit, and she never knew a moment without love from the day she first claimed you. I’m sure she knew that. She will be deeply missed. It’s hard for me to imagine you and Aubrey without her

Love how gritty and chewed up Murderbot’s armor gets in the second promo image: I’m really looking forward to this.

I dreamed my doctor told me she couldn't see me anymore because it was illegal to treat trans people. And I know it was just a bad dream but I'm really becoming afraid that's going to happen soon, and I don't know what I can do to prevent it

Yay! It’s gonna be a weird transition but I’ll figure it out.

Getting up at the crack of dawn to go to a medical appointment isn’t all bad

Two white ferrets curled up together in a perfect yin-yang posture

This is Oak and Ronin. They’ve been best friends since the day I brought Ronin home. Now Ronin is in what are probably his last days. I’m heartbroken to think of losing him, and worried for Oak, who will have lost all his ferret friends. I need to figure out how and when to introduce new ferrets

Is there someone you know who needs care of any kind? You could bring a meal to a sick friend, or go to their house and do a load of laundry for them or something like that. I find doing for others gets me out of my head when I’m spiraling. For me this time it’s a pet who is in his last days 😢

I’m carrying on with the things that I can, and ignoring the media circus as much as possible

So if I don’t respond to posts expressing existential dread about what comes next, it’s not that I don’t care, and it’s not that I’m unaware; it’s that I’ve got my feed culled down to memes and medical discussion groups to keep me from sinking into a pit of panic and despair.

Friends, I love you. And I am just as scared as you are about what the incoming regime will bring. I’m disabled, queer, and trans, and my communities are in the crosshairs.

That being said, I also gotta keep on living, and to do that I need a modicum of optimism that we will make it through. 1

A tweet from the user 'mr trapple' states: 'before you clap remember these people also think all LGBTQ+ people are pedophiles. understand the actual goal here'. Below this, a tweet from Daily Mail Online reads: 'Pedophiles could be executed under new bills proposed by MAGA firebrand Anna Paulina Luna'. Below is a photo of Anna Paulina Luna standing at a podium.

Plus such a law could destroy the GOP forever.

Noooooo! Unfair

It is! Y’all need to come visit and see the sights for yourselves. That’s taken from the balcony off my bedroom :)

Me either. I keep trying to remind myself we have a community no matter what 47 does. We can turn to one another for strength and comfort. I’m here for you

Yeah, my thinking too. Nothing good lasts. Honestly I like discord’s redux of ye old message board format. Self-policing per community, dedicated communities to topics. Probably some shitty ones but at least they’re avoidable

So much! Absolutely formative artist for me

I’m not good at this format. I loved LiveJournal back in the day. I still love tumblr. Never liked Twitter so didn’t care when it got Xed. I tolerated FB because I had a lot of uses for it, but now it’s gone full evil. Now it’s here or nowhere for many friends, so here I am. I’m old and don’t wanna

He tucked himself in like this 🥹🥰

Thanks! I figured I had a critical mass of friends forming over here, so I’m gonna buckle down and learn this system’s UI and etiquette (and hope it’s less annoying that twitex)😅

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention
