We're watching the open web as it existed die in real time.

Whether it happens 6 hours from now, 6 days from now, 6 weeks from now, 6 months from now, or 6 years from now, it will be one of the largest worldwide celebrations in the history of the human race.

"Somebody has to do something, and it’s just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us."
-- Jerry Garcia (1942-1995)

i can’t stop laughing

A bipedal red fox paints a rainbow across the sky. They have a determined look on their face. To the right of the rainbow are segments of text from newspaper articles about grim news for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially trans folks. On the left, there are flowers on the ground, with butterflies flittering about. The discouraging words are illegible faint smudges.

Word.

Well, words.

Sesame Street Instagram: Big Bird snuggling a smaller bird. Offering comfort in Scary Times: After a violent event, children of different ages will have different needs. These age based strategies can help them feel safer and more secure.

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

in case you stan Pluto and you didn’t click through on my other post you really have to see this.

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art"

There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept.

You're using ai for concept art.

Every use of generative "AI" makes any given situation worse.

You're not helping, you're not adding something of worth, and you're encouraging shit to get worse.

"No see I made a funny picture of Kristi Noem with dead dogs and--"

Fuck off into the sun and roast your hairy asshole. Stop it.

And yes, I know that nothing costs less than saying this on Bluesky, where we mostly comfort each other in enraged haplessness. But I don't know what else to say. "Wait until the midterms" does not feel viable. We're a week into the new year, and...my God.

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

my political stance is and always will be that everyone should be cared for and given what they need to thrive and that nobody should be given abusable institutional power over others

Nobody asked for it Stop Forcing AI into Fucking Everything EVERYONE HATES IT

If you have an AI Generated pfp:

🔸 I will not give you the benefit of the doubt in any exchange.

🔸 I give more trust to a rando on the street than you.

🔸 I think you are sus (Derogatory).

🔸 Your opinion is probably bad. Just look at your pfp.

The thing people need to understand is that Nazis went home and hugged their kids, kissed their wives, and did human activities that most of can relate to. And they were still Nazis. A Nazi being nice to you personally does not absolve them of the harm they are causing.

EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's difficult to be creative when we're just trying to survive. But it does matter. Whether you make things professionally or as a hobby or even if you make something that you never show to anybody. It's good for the human soul to create.

Another fic finally, this time short and sweet. Attempt at breakfast in bed, anyone? (And a cute little allusion at the end, maybe.) – #Chaggie #Chaggi #HazbinHotelCharlie #HazbinHotelVaggie

And if you can please also donate to pet food banks. The ones in Chicago regularly run out on a GOOD month. (It’s why i went last week before the inevitable rush this month).

Please Go to the local pet food bank if you need to. They do exist and they will help keep your fuzzy loved ones fed

just now learning that JD Vance's brother also lost an election today in the middle of everything else, today rules

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

“Oh poor people can buy popsicles with food stamps” shut the fuck up the government gives perverts a trillion dollars in government money each year for pervert factories for billionaires the fucking popsicles are none of your fuckin business

Planning a short fluffy Chaggie fic where they go on a date to distract Charlie from some of her stress.

A lot of good Americans doing good American stuff today.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

Anyway, can’t wait for the second movie. God, I could already sorta tell from the trailer alone the sources they’re pulling from.

Some of yall take headcanons a little too seriously in my opinion. When you start attacking a creator for what you think their character should be, I think you need to step away and take deep breaths

Hard truth: Just because you don't like a piece of media? That doesn't mean it's bad. Sometimes, you just aren't the right audience. Sometimes, it really is just a matter of taste. Technical skill does exist in sexual adult content. I can't stress enough that skilled artists work on stupid shit.
