"No ethical consumption under capitalism" is a statement meant to prime a conversation about the inherent exploitation of the system. It is NOT an excuse to break boycotts or pursue employment with arms companies or some shit. In the kindest way, pull your head out of your ass.
The federal government wants fewer FOIs. Crikey wants more. We know filing FOIs can be daunting — so let us do it for you! For the next few weeks, we're accepting ideas for requests that we'll take, shape, file and then will keep you in the loop when we hear back. www.crikey.com.au/20...
He stares into my eyes all sparkly, "You contain multitudes" Me: 🥺yeah but how do I make them shut up
Another Father’s Day in the genocide. 700 days of relentless massacres, bombings, and torture. There has never been a weaker or more evil human population on this earth. We have earned for ourselves that distinction, to have allowed everything we have seen to continue for two goddamn years.
I need a smaller gargoyle, because it will be easier to take places where a gargoyle is needed, which is more places than you might expect
This is pretty great.
I am normally *very* protective of Irish culture, in particular rebel songs (I generally don't think non Irish people should be singing them). And I can only speak for the Irish part of this. But fuck if it doesn't slap.
I am absolutely going to be up tomorrow at 9pm cooking a meal for my dead uncle on the first anniversary of his death. We're going to eat well. Shit I should explain to my housemates that it's just me and him, I didn't think about it. Plus the meal is carb heavy I feel kinda inconsiderate now >.<
The Pain Is Upon Me, and I want to scream. I know the painkillers are there to help, but I'm already sick of taking them.
Huzzah! The world is good with more Auggie in it!
Only this BUCKET OF WATER that releases at 500 RETWEETS can save BUGLET from being blown up by a CARTOON BOMB
Post a random picture, or everything will go bad in September... or will it?
They did it again. JER is definitely a mad one for doing this cover, that's for sure. A fun and jaunty take on a silly yet sweet tune from Steven Universe.
They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning
“What do politics have to do with me?” 🤷🏻♀️🤷♂️ Got people in in your life who “don’t want to talk about politics” like I do? Here’s a killer response from Nato Green. 👩🏻🍳💋
Nothing quite like when the lotus chips are stale D: (derogatory)
You know how we keep saying the fascists are openly celebrating because they finally got a transfem mass shooter? Just to clarify, that wasn't hyperbolic or anything. In their own words: www.rawstory.com/owen-shroyer...
I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A. Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions. This what Fox News served.
It still takes you reaching to accept the hand. It may feel like a tiny bit, but you know how it is, the longest journey starts with a single step. I've been in similar situations myself. You're doing great <3
I'm so glad, and dare I say, so proud of you for getting out there and fetching that piece back. It's hard yakka <3 <3
Me, sending BPAL to a friend: "I hope he likes it, I think it's one he'll like, but I am nervous because it is a Very Niche set of notes. Him: "This reminds me of my grandmother's house. Thank you!" Me: "!!!!!! I WIN AT EVERYTHING. THAT'S IT. I'M THE BEST!"
It's the year 2025 and I'm so tired of having to say: - immigration is good - racism is bad - bodily autonomy is good - policing bodies is bad - consent is good - overriding or ignoring consent is bad Why are so many people determined to ignore these demonstrable facts?
Also you know just regular scrubbing. I prefer to use neutral hand soap and a toothbrush, but I'm a finicky collector.
Sadly, no. You can use a conditioner (I use Sunsilk) to help with their hair, and acetone removes a lot of sins, but don't apply it to anything painted, basically.
How clean do you want to get them? Also are you washing manes or nah? this is an area of my specialty
But I'm here now. Every haircut is like a reminder that I exist, and that even though I struggle with dysphoria in other ways, at least I can see me in my face nowadays, and that's fucking delightful.
I mean, not actively dislike, but I don't recall a time I liked having my hair down, and only really enjoyed having it up. I think I just resigned myself to being miserable about my hair forever, given that it looked even weirder at my shoulders. What a strange little creature I've been
Today I am absolutely consumed with wonder and identity euphoria with my short hair. Every time I look at pictures of me with my long hair down, my dysphoria rears up like a spooked horse, and I'm still wondering how it took so long for me to realise I didn't even like it? Fucking weird as shit.
I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
It'll give it a red hot go.
Obviously do not do that thing. Here are some gummies and a hot water bottle?
My dove, I highly doubt that.
fucking love that movie. Never seen it all the way through, but love it.
KRAMPUS ALREADY.
'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:
[to the tune of “Eleanor Rigby”] skydiving baby who are your parents that let you jump out of a plane? are they insane? skydiving baby tells me to worship the Lord or he’ll fall to his death wasting his breath
SOUND ON FOR WOLF HOWLS- old footage but a favourite. This was when Sansa was still with us and she often led the charge in a pack howl. Sadly she died of cancer at the end of last year and the place feels quieter without her now. Wolf Watch UK, where I am a volunteer member of staff
why.... why is he like this.
Ha ha suck shit, dude.
I hate being stuck in my frustration and distress, and it's only going to get worse because I missed my meds
In 1977, Disabled activists occupied the Federal Building in San Francisco to demand the passage of Section 504— legislation to protect against disability discrimination.When the building was cordoned off, in an effort to starve activists out, The Black Panthers *Broke In* to deliver them hot meals.
Super cool references

The reason fascists are able to exploit your "ew thats icky!" Response is because your sense of morality is tied to your sense of disgust. Things you find "gross" will also seem morally wrong, even if the logic doesn't hold up to scrutiny. But you *can* learn to recognize that response!
I'm sorry, but I need you to see this rock that looks like a sandwich that I just found on Instagram.
If we care about our right to express ourselves freely on this (or any) platform, sexual or non-sexual, we have to put in the work, and make a scene. They have to know we aren’t fucking around.
in Australia principled writers have pulled out of Bendigo Writers Festival after concerns of being censored about the genocide occurring in Palestine, while in the UK we have heroic authors withdrawing from the LGBTQIA+ focused Polari prize after it shortlisted a proud anti-trans "terf" author
Meanwhile in Australia; good trans news. Our Supreme Court told the director of our transphobe organisation, Binary Australia, that what she claims is 'advocacy work' against a trans woman is 'cyber bullying and harassment.' This transphobe just lost her appeal against an apprehended violence order.
Fuck yeah, delicious <3
genuinely brings me pleasure that no one respects this guy (least of all himself)
poem
Oh no, were you coming to our house AND THEN ALSO getting killed for meatballs?
If you want to be an ally to disabled ppl you must also be an ally to homeless ppl bc disability & homelessness are inseparable issues in our society.
affect = verb effect = noun But… ‘Effect’ can be a verb that means "to cause to come into being." - The strike effected change within the company 'Affect' can be a noun that refers to an observable emotional response. -His affect did not change after hearing the news
You tend to find them disguised as other things these days. Tradwives, skateborders, stock brokers...
That sounds like a deal! I also drank water today!
Ok for every like, he’ll get a forehead kiss. For every retweet, I’ll give him a treat. He got spooked today so…
because they don't tell you in the head or sub-head: the brand is DermaRite. there are specific products & batch numbers in the article
Btw you don't have to be in the US to yell at Stripe about this. One of their HQs is in the EU (Dublin), and they do business in 51 countries. Odds are very good you can give them hell about how they're potentially breaking your country's laws. That's dozens of lawyers they would need to consult.
This is what the audience for a Long COVID conference looked like today. Notice anything? 😷
Oh shit this is so perfect, look at her <3
I just don't want anyone to think I don't love them or care about them, is all.
Oh yeah, be set of *here*. You're good, old bean <3
Jealous again! Have fun!
It's OK my b, you can be set off about this, he's always like this.
LOOK AT HER. ISN'T SHE REMARKABLE?
None of this is true. "Druids" were still referenced in Medieval Irish Laws centuries after Patrick; The myth of snakes was attributed to Columba until the second Vite Patricus Patrick's own words (as found in the Confessio and Letter) bemoan his utter failure to make any inroads in Ireland.
I do love a trinket
All good! If it turns up, I'm here!
I don't wanna, like, call my specialists between appointments, but if this dizziness doesn't fuck off this week I'm going to to need to >.< uuuuuuuuugh
If you still have that brown box I mentioned a little while ago I will buy it from you. It's not much but I can help throw some money at the problem
Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.
I now understand about he/him lesbians. I have heard the gospel and I am amazed <3
I am another Antipodean that immediately likes you! You are great and didn't deserve to hear such awful lies about you.
Anja!??? What was that?? 😂
Please understand that if you air even a single ICE ad on your program, on your podcast, on your stream, you will never, for the rest of your mortal life, receive another dollar or another second of attention from me, or from millions of others. I promise you, it is financial suicide.
This is definitely me the second I get home and start putting on my comfy clothes.
I'm very sorry you do, babe, you deserve better. Tonight I was crying about the fact we were out of chicken kievs and had to have salmon cakes instead >.<
I'm on struggle street here. Had a couple of minor upsets combine so I'm barely treading water. Be REAL COOL if more minor upsets didn't keep happening! Real cool.
I wonder why I get worried about people not buying the stack of roleplaying books that I seem to accumulate once every few years. I put a stack up at 3am this morning, and they were all claimed by 10, with me standing dazed and confused in the dust left behind.
Real tempted by a Quest Sprout duffel bag.
Brace yourselves. It’s the 448th anniversary today of the documented and very real appearance of the Terrifying! Satanic! One-Eyed! ghost dog Black Shuck at two churches in Suffolk, where he wilfully murdered “two persons, as they were kneeling uppon their knees, and occupied in prayer”
Idk what to tell you, babes, sometimes a ttrpg, card game, board game, video game, or whatever actually ISN'T for you, and that's okay. You can, in fact, walk away without ever moving your fingers over your keyboard in a way that will come off so confidently wrong it's embarrassing! Amazing, right?
it's not always gonna be bleak
whoaa .... this is a huge protest. This is from the Sydney Harbour Bridge live traffic cam now.
I thought Van Helsing was good! Limited experience time!
There we go. First warmup project of slowly coming back to life and work done with. Yes, it's just a backpack. Is it comfy? So so. But the bigger thing was having a decent way to carry my flash portfolio through the Seattle Tattoo Expo without having too big of a bag going on.
Definitely some of the better werewolf stuff I've seen in movies, and that's saying something. In both directions.
Great work by PC Gamer showing MasterCard shares much responsibility for what happened to Steam www.pcgamer.com/games/master...
CONGRATULATIONS! UR A WIENER!
If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.
haven't drawn anything new for Lammas (yet) but here is a pic I felt worked well. Lammas Blessings!
I can understand the anxiety tho but we gotchu <3
You'll be OK babe. I had mine out in the 90s and the worst thing that happened to me was the fucking boredom and embarrassing crying because I didn't want to go home. You'll probably be out within 24 hours, the surgery's only gotten better since then.
That may be me confusing editions, but they've definitely been a lot of Good, hence the eagles.
Have some courage about your races, you tepid cowards. Even if you wanna keep Kenku mostly corvid, then that's cool, but eagle Aarakocra are so milquetoast. I'm watching a budgie Aarakocra in a friends' game and she *is amazing*. Get on our level, writers, it's not even that far to reach.
Man, why the fuck Aarakocra gotta be Neutral Good? I mean sure we can do Whatever The Fuck We Like in games, but canon presenting them as eagles and maybe parrots it's just, nah get fucked. Give me my vulture Aarakocra, my peacock Aarakocra, my woodpecker and magpie Aarakocra, of both types.
Hey, everyone who is calling Mastercard and Visa about the age verification BS. I think you should start aiming at YouTube as well.
