I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

The BDS movement is calling for people to pressure Microsoft with divestment and exclusion from contracts, whenever feasible. We also call for boycotting Microsoft’s gaming products, with the following options as tiers of engagement: Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription. Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft and Call of Duty – flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft. Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard).

And I've obviously been saying this a lot lately, but BDS does not expect anyone to drop everything made by Microsoft all at once. They pick very specific targets in order to get as wide a coalition as possible, and in the case of Xbox, even suggest different tiers of engagement.

petplay: i am a great hulking shadow of a sea beast slowly whirling up towards you from the deep. you are a tiny merchant vessel failing to pelt me with riflefire before your crew falls to its knees in fearful prayer. Also I have a collar with a big jingly bell on it.

Learned a new type of stitch and managed 6 colors to sew this onto my sweatshirt

It's hard work being so intelligent, funny, attractive, correct, ethical, wealthy, pure, philosophical, humble, friendly, kind, skilled, fit, confident, reliable, responsible, humble, empathetic, considerate, lively, sensual, well dressed, and humble. Which is why I don't do any of that

Morally Erect The Tom Finland Foundation's soft spot for Nazi symbols raises hard questions.

I wrote an article for @readlux.bsky.social about my time at the Tom of Finland Foundation and the complexity of Tom's legacy.

Oops, I got mixed up from the results I was reading, but White Admirals are butterflies. The fuzzy antenna means these are definitely moths. Called 'Police car moths', they have the notable orange chest

And one more moth clinging to a stalk in the wind

Four white admirals sharing a bunch of flowers, they were there for quite some time and didn't mind people coming by to check them out

A duo of a type of moth called 'white admiral's

A bee and some more little orange butterflies sharing flowers

Wild rose, some kind of berries and mushrooms

I believe these are a type of butterfly called 'least skipper'

Photos I took at the @fabalbearta.bsky.social camp trip at Lazy M Lodge, starting with 1 lovely collie dog named Rascal, and 3 pics of one semi-wild/barn tabby kitty

I couldn't remember the name of that videogame with the little beans doing obstacle courses and I said "you know uh.. Fall Out Guys"
