When the Epstein 50th birthday book came out, nothing happened. People drew sexualized pictures of little girls in it and not a single person faced repercussions.
My greatest fear is that these files will release and the same thing happens: shocked disgust and then fucking nothing else #political
White women specifically in media concern trolling folks out of needed care is a theme not an aberration
Good cop/bad cop.
After direct help like money or supplies, the BEST thing white Canadians can do is focus inward on the bigotry woven into the foundation of your country and destroy it.
If you say there isn't any? You're a useless troll and more akin to the right wing than you might think.
If you're a white Canadian and the majority of what you talk about is how America is a shit country run by evil, take a step back and look inward.
What are you doing to fight fascism and bigotry in your country? Bc apparently you gotta actively fight that shit or it'll fester and grow.
Also an assumption that there aren't plenty of Americans already addressing the issues and putting in the hard work to get people to understand things.
You can support THEM, spread their words and their EXPERTISE (which you, average Canadian DON'T have) to help them AND other Americans.
Unless you have GENUINE help for us, shut up, you have a racist, bigoted country that's got fascists in its walls, too.
It's just starting to feel like a lot of y'all are ignoring your own issues by focusing on us.
Talking down to us isn't helping & isn't actual education for those who need it.
Our education isn't great, but it feels like there's an assumption we are ALL uneducated. Also that we need help via "advice" or explaining how their system works, when...that won't help. At all.
Think about whether you're posting to stroke your ego or actually contribute.
If I could never see a white Canadian talk about how the US system is bad in a condescending tone again, I would be at least 1% happier overall.
It's getting fucking frustrating and to the point I might yell at some of you.
My friend passed away last week and she wrote this fanfiction a while ago. The two of us actually met through writing, and so I guess what I’m asking for is for people to give it a read or a like.
Maybe it’s a weird ask but idk what to do in this scenario and I know she was very proud of this one.
“You can’t be mad at Democrats for not fighting because they’re the only thing we have to fight fascism” is an interesting political philosophy that I would like to unpack, not in the sense of giving it further examination, but in the sense of throwing it out the back window.
I've done this every damn time I hit Fall.
Except last time. Last time I only destroyed half of them bc I forgot I planted my crop of them on different days by accident. I'm only successful when I'm oblivious I guess lmaooo
Black and white charcoal drawing of a pregnant woman with arms folded across her stomach, eyes closed and mouth simultaneously covered and highlighted.
It’s a huge privilege to have my self-portrait included in the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Inaugural Drawing Prize exhibition: Revealing the Human, surrounded by such extraordinary work. Running until the 29th of this month, with many pieces available to buy: therp.co.uk/the-rp-inaugur…
I will only accept Craig as resurrected Bond if he uses the same accent as Benoit Blanc.
Screenshot of the horse breeder menu in Horses of Hoofprint Bay. This is how the feature looks and works in the engine/build already. Buttons on the left say Cover Mare, Buy Horse, Sell Horse and Board Horse. Two Windows are labelled "Select Mare" and "Select Stallion" and show options for each, showing the horses' strength and endurance stats as well as their age (in in-game rounds)
Screenshot of a rough digital sketch, dark brown lines on grey background, of what the horse breeder menu should look like. There are horses in individual stalls on the top left, an info panel on the bottom right, a side view of a horse on the top right, and an empty space with a question mark on the bottom left.
Sketch of what visiting the breeder should look like, from the outside: there is a 2d lineart drawing of a woman in a hoodie, her hair in a ponytail on the bottom left. A stable building stands slightly further back. Pasture fences run into the background behind the woman.
Screenshot of how the scene is coming together in-engine. One horse (in final in-game cartoon visuals) stands in the top right section of the screen, other horses' heads are visible in the top left section. A rough portrait sketch of a woman overlays the image from the bottom left corner. An info panel for the horse of the right is visible at the bottom right of the screen, showing the horse's name (Nelli), age, and stats. There is a "Buy Horse" button underneath a "Price: 2604" label
Another glimpse behind the scenes of making Horses of Hoofprint Bay: We're currently improving on the horse trader visuals. While parts of the game were polished for the announcement trailer, a lot of features currently still consist of sketches and placeholders! (see alt text for more info!)

if you ever want to know why these'll never stop, here you go
And if you're jealous bc "well, I'm in constant pain and yet I still work..." Maybe go see a fucking doctor, then? Or find a new one? Or complain to anyone BUT DISABLED PEOPLE about it because it's NOT OUR FUCKING FAULT.
Get pissed at your employer and insurance companies. Not your fellow victims.
The next time you try to get upset about a disabled person suddenly calling out of work or needing a reduced workload, understand how quickly symptoms can come on that make working near impossible.
Our lives are chaotic and unpredictable. Not by choice.
In the past I would've pushed through. Sure, I would then be in way worse shape, but...I'd just push through that, too.
If I had a job, I most likely wouldn't be able to work, at least not normally and with excessively reduced hours.
I wouldn't have known until after my walk.
Feel better after a shower, but it really puts into focus how easy it is to believe you can push through even with a lot of pain.
I was crying it hurt so bad.
Took a shower, stretched a tiny bit, got hot water on it. I'm still in constant pain, but I'm not crying.
It's really cool how I can feel kinda fine, no pain flares, and then I get done with my dog walk, lift my arm a little to hang up the leash and immediately have excruciating pain in my shoulder blade.
Super cool. The coolest.
I wanna scream.
Because it's so cool, you see.
Large science & public health accounts are sounding alarms over Canada losing measles-elimination status - good.
But the silence from them on long COVID has been striking.
Building trust as an infectious disease expert should mean caring about preventing all viral-induced illness
It's so cool that sitting US senators can talk about how they want all Palestinians to be murdered and vote to do it and if you post about throwing a tomato at them the Feds show up at your door because that's apparently a threat but trying to do a genocide isn't
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
I'm going to actively say at this point that I don't think people should donate to any Dem-run PACs. What guarantee do we have that they won't give the money to cowards to stave off primary challengers?
I mean, it rather feels like the reverse will happen.
Here’s my personalized feed for all my drawings for everybody who just followed for the artsy stuff and not depressed and educational rambles about our colonial and patriarchal society.
Pop-culture “facts” you need to unlearn:
1. Alphas rule wolf packs as supreme leaders
2. Testosterone is solely a male aggression hormone.
3. There is extreme sexual dimorphism in male and female brains

For peeps on the #Idaho Palouse: any bird observations?
I’ve continued to see a wide variety of small birds in typical numbers.
But ALL doves are absent 😢 Quail pop is ~dramatically~ decreased 😢 Virtually all medium sized birds are absent 😢
No raptors seen/heard, not even on highway power poles😬
"what's the point of standards" is a hilarious thing to say out loud where people can hear you
note that when someone talks about food aversion, or a caregiver of someone with food aversion talks about it, your common sense advice (make your own! Fake it with packaging! Buy this other brand!) isn't going to be helpful. It's not our first day. We've thought of it.
