Been learning more about black history in 17 days than the whole time I was in school.

Brothers: Bobby (bass, vocals), David (March 19, 1952-October 9, 2000) (guitar), and Dannis Hackney (drums, percussion). Death

“Death” were punk before punk was punk. Formed in November 1971 they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band.

Finished watching Halo. It's actually pretty good, I'm convinced the outrage was just a bunch of white boys crying online as per usual

We shouldn't be using "lesser of two evils". They're just evil. If R is a tank rolling down the street, D is the infantry around it. Both of them need to go.

Since I'm not going to let the 'EVERYTHING going on right now' get me down today, here's a thing that brings me joy:
Listening to old music (it was over 20 years ago, yes it is old) and seeing where samples came from

Park ranger fired after helping drape a transgender pride flag on Yosemite's El Capitan The ex-ranger said they plan to fight the decision, citing an executive order issued by President Trump that protects Americans’ free speech rights.

NEW: I spoke to SJ Joslin, a park ranger and wildlife biologist who was fired by Yosemite National Park last week for helping to raise a transgender pride flag on the park's iconic El Capitan rock face.

Texas Democrat Locked in State Capitol for Refusing Mandatory Escort Rep. Nicole Collier is one of dozens of Democrats who fled Texas earlier this month to block a vote on a Trump-backed redistricting plan.

Look, I’m glad the other women fell in line but let’s not pretend that whole thing wasn’t performative. They signed. They fell in line. Then Nicole Collier stood on business and embarrassed them into backtracking their punk out. It’s good but I want it highlighted who, as always, has to lead.

ALL of this. All of this a trillion times over.

Also being fetishized isn't fun. I shouldn't have to think about if I'm just a kink vending machine to them every time I interact with a white furry. Also VAs & hair in art, default is white, gotta go hunting for BIPOC VAs/artists to do it right

POC furries what laments do you have about the furry fandom? Lemme hear them. Let me lift your voices.

I only actually feel welcome in BIPOC spaces within the fandom. The fandom is full white liberals and fascists; the former will offer words and likes, and the latter wants to return you to being food/property. Neither of them are actually going to help with anything serious though.

So let's talk about the bluesky community guidelines

I did something most of you haven't done, which is read over the old and new versions with a fine tooth comb to compare what's been added and removed

I want to focus on talk like "of course bsky doesn't want to host sex pics of kids/animals"

To my fellow white furs, it is not enough to read and internalize these messages. When we are inevitably called in by our POC friends, we owe it to them not to become defensive. We must respect that they are attempting to preserve our friendship, not attack us.

Probably the greatest crime against the eyes is that buildings that have sunlight passing through them onto the street below don't replace those windows with stained glass. Yeah yeah money blah blah I don't care. Make with the pretty colors already.

DC man accused of throwing sandwich at federal officer released from custody Sean Dunn, accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal officer, is released on his own recognizance as the judge finds the felony charge excessive.

Subway sandwich guy has been released on his own recognizance.

His attorney argued the felony charge was excessive, and the judge agreed.

“They won’t overturn same sex marriage!”

That’s what we all thought about Roe. We didn’t believe it could fall, until it did.

Please don’t become complacent.

The right wing christofascists have seized power & want to undo decades of hard won civil rights.

Protect Obergefell

No actually. People should see these pictures.

No fucking cops or corpos at pride. Ever.

On the one hand: AI sucks, the internet is dead & corps are killing us all
On the other hand: We don't get a Rache Bartmoss without these ingredients.

Who's excited for tomorrow?

Yes, another shitpost animation.... I'm not sorry.

You should buy a gun and start training as often as you can. Get used to firing it without hearing protection. You know, for reasons. Constitutional ones, even.

Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.

This is horrifying beyond words.

There is a bill right now in the US trying to pass

It would make it illegal for any financial service provider to prohibit or inhibit any legal transaction

It's called the "Fair Access to Banking Act, H.R.987 in the House, S.410 in the Senate"

Call your representatives if you live in the US !!!!

I need someone (not me) to get into a horrible car crash that makes nationwide news caused by a driver having too bright fuckyouintheeyes headlights, just so we can finally get rid of those damned things

It's not enough. We need gators the size of lifted trucks, mosquitoes that can drink a gallon of blood in 2 seconds, and spiders large enough to eat large dogs.

Since 2021, Mastercard has been imposing strict regulations on platforms that use the company's financial services — and Steam appears to be their latest target.

Tell Mastercard to reverse this harmful policy at action.aclu.org/petition/mas....

Why are you using either of those though?
