Around 20% of hospital beds in the US are in Christianist facilities, most Catholic, that have happily been denying reproductive health care and gender-affirming care for decades AND enjoying a nonprofit status. Most people don't realize the stranglehold the church has until it's too late.
Louder for the people in the back.
You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, âLook at that, you son of a bitch
This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days
A sheet of expressions and sketched explorations of a new character of mine.
new oc i'm cooking... her name is willow, but it's billie or wills for friends âď¸
an illustration of Eddie Munson (left) and Steve Harrington (right) in the style of an 80s comic book. The illustration is cropped from their necks to their knees. Eddie is playing his red warlock guitar and wearing a "The Transexual Menace" shirt with a Baker pride flag hanging from his back pocket. Steve Harrington is behind him facing away from the camera holding his nail bat. It should be noted that Eddie has a tattoo of Steve's nail bat and Steve has one of Eddie's bats tattooed on himself. They are also wearing matching rings.
transexuals be upon ye
âI dislike social commentary. Like⌠I really hate it. When Iâm reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the authorâs political agenda is validated. I hate that,â Weir said. âI put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and Iâm not trying to affect the readerâs opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that.â âFor instance, as a lifelong Star Trek fan, itâs always bothered me that there is a presumed âresponsibilityâ within Star Trek shows to talk about social issues,â the writer added. âI just want to watch Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other.â
Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop.
Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything.
It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.
The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced
Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isnât living in a bubble. I donât need to know whatâs going on at X. I wonât be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.
Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.
www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
All those Discord alternatives that y'all are trying to push (Stoat, Matrix, Fluxer, Root, etc.) will have to comply with this as well if we don't stop this.
CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES EVERY DAY & TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON KOSA, SCREEN Act, & ANY OTHER INTERNET CENSORSHIP BILLS!

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
Heâs been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.
Say his name:
Tumblr post by user calebwittebane: its actually crazy how much local art events and other potentially interesting stuff i completely miss out on just because the orgs all post on instagram and facebook only. two standouts among the worst fucking platforms in the world with the most egregious ui and slop saturation, so dogshit that id be unable to use them regularly even if i wanted to. stop it you all. get on tumblr or something even orgs and collectives that used to have proper websites of their own now just put all their updates on fb and ig. stop! stop it! youre making me feel like an old geezer! ok well old geezers nowadays are very much on facebook... an ancient geezer. youre making me feel like A Ancient Woman
lifted from tumblr and posting here because holy shit this drives me insane
Block these grifter assholes.
I keep thinking âmy god the people theyâve killed seem like exceptionally good folksâ and I think the lesson there is that theyâre not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength
Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kidâs broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And thatâs not child abuse because a kidâs bones are their parentsâ property
People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day.
I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.
Every single fucking time, I swear.
Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago
listening to my own character playlists and being like wow this guy knows what hes talking about
