I'm a little late on this but if anybody in comics, and let's be real, /especially/ somebody who doesn't draw them, says let's embrace AI? they're a traitor and a scab and should never be trusted /ever/ again by the people who actually put the work in to making this genre and industry worth anything
We are Sakher and Reem. Two young people from Gaza who lost almost everything. For nearly two years, our lives have been nothing but war, displacement, hunger, and fear. We lost our home, our safety, our dreams, and the simple right to live like others our age… GFM: gofund.me/459d365f
Reem has a new donation link, please help her if you can and share this post.
I have mostly the same types of neurodivergence that Audra Winter has, but I did not get that Audacity. I think if all the rest of us AuDHD C-PTSD people got a tiny pinch of her audacity we would be a lot better off, but it’s definitely not doing her any good at that dosage.
The stuff in my compost box is settling when I go back to add more stuff and I think that’s a good sign.
😞I would stain it so badly.
Hi I am Reem ❤️ I started a donation campaign months ago, and many kind people helped me. But now that the number has grown, people think it’s “enough.” The truth is—it’s not. Life here in Gaza is still unbearable. Prices are impossible, and I am still left with nothing….. GFM: gofund.me/de96cb50
*once a thing has been relentlessly advertised to people with too much money and they get stuck in a sunk cost fallacy and need to sell it to more people so they aren’t left holding the bag when it turns out it was useless it’s hard to stop it because of all the money spent pushing it.
Okay so it’s a minor in creative writing, but I still feel like that involves lessons in basic self editing. I’m so confused.
You don’t have to publish everything you write, you shouldn’t publish everything you write. Trunk novels go in the trunk, please leave them there. You learn from trunk novels so you can write better stories for actual release.
Audra Winter has a creative writing degree . . . how do you get that without even learning basic self editing?
I’m confused, I’m worried, I just want her to log off, but I can’t look away. I’m worried she may be doing accidental tax fraud or something and I’m so confused about where the money came from that allowed her to start hiring all those artists. She’s hired more since it came out. WTF is happening?
My first thought when I saw this insect was, "oh, what a cute fuzzy little bee." But it's not a bee, it's a fabulous bee mimicking fly, a male Orange-legged Drone Fly. (Eristalis flavipes) PA #InverteFest

For two years, we’ve been trying to survive hell. Two years of running, hiding, starving, and hoping. We lost our homes. We have lost our universities. We lost our sense of safety, and parts of our souls that may never heal…..:: 🙏💔 GFM : gofund.me/459d365f
I am a mother from Gaza, I am tired of hunger and fear and I am trying to protect my children in this darkness. We have lost our home and safety, and I am looking every day for a bite that silences their hunger and medicine to save them.💔😔 gofund.me/5c4d18d8
Who knows if those were true, but it was horrific that she would even pretend to have done things like that and post about them.
The rescue owner’s Facebook page was full of stories of how she would stop people on the street and tell them their dog was sick or had died because they took them to the vet and they would break down crying. AC was not concerned at all.
Later this rescue was also trying to adopt out a dog that was child aggressive to the point that she would try to bite through her crate if she knew there was a child in the house and this dog had bitten several people. As far as I know that shit show is still going.
If you listen closely you can probably hear me screaming. A couple of years ago I reported a “rescue” to AC for discouraging vaccinations and using home remedies and shit and AC was on their side, thought it was fine to tell people not to vaccinate dogs and put colloidal silver in their eyes.
Six deaths from rabies have been reported over the last 12 months in the U.S., the highest number in years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Friends, I need you to step up today. Help me raise $50 and email the Bluesky moderators about my account: soma-eslam.bsky.social. They can’t silence me—I refuse to be erased. Stand with me, push back, and let’s make them hear us. I need you friends Please share 🙏 chuffed.org/project/1282...
Agree w this thread 100% And well-intentioned calls for progressives to empathize or offer advice and support to these guys miss this key point. They aren't looking for advice on finding a connection, getting women to like them. They're looking for someone to hand them sex mommy...
But there’s so much climbing nightshade and it’s so annoying. I look at the nightshade growing and I’m like “I’ll just pull out that little nightshade plant.” When I pull it it’s massive, it never ends, it’s like it’s growing as I pull.
I chopped so much compost today. I’ve been letting especially big weeds grow so I can put them in the compost and I got a huge milk thistle in there and a couple of really big lamb’s quarters because I feel like it shouldn’t just be climbing nightshade.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
"these weirdos who keep getting busted for crimes against children want to look in your kids pants under color of law and we oppose that" is the easiest possible policy position
I was lucky and I still couldn’t walk for weeks. My knees still hurt when it rains. Also three people died!
One of my sisters got real mad at me because I told her not to watch videos on her phone while driving. This was only a few months after I was in an accident caused by an intoxicated driver that destroyed three cars, killed three people, and injured everyone involved including me.
if you're a passenger and the driver is using their phone please don't stay quiet to avoid confrontation. family member, long time friend, coworker, doesn't matter, make it awkward. If they persistent ask to get out, find another way there. Not worth risking your life or being party to manslaughter
This is usually how it works. The really fun part is when we get told we’re exaggerating it by near complete strangers for the rest of our lives.
That's the bit that isnt clicking with the folks who aint following along: -> He *knows* vaccines work, and he still doesnt want people to have access to them <- His stated policy is to just let people die in droves. Get him gone. Now. #RemoveRFK
rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides
I’m 19 years old. And I feel like I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes in war I don’t want much—I just want to live like other girls my age. To feel safe. To go to university. To dream without fear. But instead, I wake up every day in Gaza surrounded by destruction, pain, and fear GFM: gofund.me/4e333f55
People who might be comfortable with their neighbors quietly disappearing aren't always comfortable when the grotesque human rights abuses involved are made public. They don't like to imagine themselves as the bad people you make them seem like when you point out what's happening. So keep doing it.
Thanks, I have a feeling this will be a very upsetting read.
Often I don’t plant things because I think they could become invasive even though they look really fun, like those pink and yellow dandelions, those look fun, but we already have one invasive dandelion species, we don’t need more. I can look at pictures of the fun dandelions, I do not need them.
I did not know this, and I am beyond disgusted now that I know. ACAB, especially the ones who sat around and let people bleed out.
This a great sub thread.
This is a really good thread.
The end result of "Move fast and break things" is usually just a lot of broken things.
Support nurseries selling native plants. “But commercial nurseries that sell hundreds of different invasives are actually the primary pathway of invasive plant introduction.” www.umass.edu/news/article...
We need laws about this shit and we don’t have many and we’re very unlikely to get them in the next couple of decades.
The thing about my seasonal allergies is that the season is all seasons and they randomly get worse or better for a couple weeks and also they make it really difficult to tell if I’m sick or not because my throat just always feels like that.
Gardeners don’t introduce an invasive species challenge, continues to be impossible. They don’t even think about it they’re just like “I introduced non-native worms, I got this plant that spreads and comes back every year.” Please stop, think about what you’re doing before you do it.
Having the choice to be private about your political views is also a privilege
"I'm apolitical" just means "I'm happy with the status quo," and "don't talk about politics" just means "don't rock the boat." Those of us who suffer under the status quo don't have the luxury of being apolitical, and those who don't suffer have an obligation to stand with those who do.
I’m tired in ways I can’t explain. Since the first day of this war, I’ve been running—between explosions, between grief, between survival and collapse. I’ve lost my home. I’ve lost friends. I’ve lost pieces of myself I’ll never get back I haven’t felt safe for a single moment GFM: gofund.me/f116bf44
The way they are like “tasty, but that’s enough, no more” when it’s an antibiotic so they have to take the full dose 😑.
Having to deal with this now because the boys have URIs again. Everyone is taking two antibiotics because they are old men and we want to knock it out fast. Jude and Ringo like one medicine and hate the other while Sheb likes the medicine that the others hate and dislikes the one they like.
🫵 you are a weird bug
Guys you have to just block everyone who seems like they might report Palestinians. If you don’t block them they will go to your page and report the Palestinians you repost. I know they are terrible people and it feels good to dunk on them, but you have to block them to keep people safe.
Someday I will have some nice dirt to reward me for my efforts.
I chopped a bunch of stuff for compost today, and I still have even more stuff to chop.
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 don’t forget them in your fight for inclusivity and progressivism!
We’re still alive. But it doesn’t feel like living. Every day, we wake up to a world that keeps forgetting us. We’ve buried parts of ourselves under collapsed homes, under broken dreams, under years of waiting for safety that never came…. 1/3 Donation 🔗 : gofund.me/459d365f 🙏💔
I know these requests are endless but if you have a little something pick a family and help
I don’t know how to scream anymore, because even my silence is tired. I’m not just a girl from Gaza — I’m a soul that’s been cracked a thousand times. I carry invisible wounds, and every day I wake up pretending I’m okay just so I don’t break down again. 🙏💔 GFM: gofund.me/4e333f55
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
I am a mother from Gaza 💔 My children sleep hungry every night, and I have nothing to feed them or warm them. The war took us home and safety, and even the bite became a distant dream. My heart breaks and I see them in pain and I can't do anything💔 gofund.me/5c4d18d8

My dog is fine if I go out the front door, but gets very worried when I go out the back door and I go out the back door more often lately because of the garden.
When it does happen, make sure your memes have alt text and your hashtags are pascal cased. I want to be able to like and share everything.
I don’t know what sexy watto means and I’m scared to look it up.
🎶I dreamed a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed🎶
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

All these articles keep saying Trump isn’t dead, but they haven’t dragged him out and shown him to me. If the president isn’t dead where is he?
Live your life in such a way that the mere rumor of your passing doesn’t make people unable to sleep due to sheer anticipation
This is like in Peter Pan where the audience tries to revive Tinkerbell with applause. Except, you know, the opposite.
Face of a guy who really wants to find all the ladies in the world at once and 2 antennae just aren't enough (he technically just has two antennae like normal god-fearing sawflies, they're just split at the base so it looks like he has four) #InverteFest
i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there
Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.
It is less a mass deportation regime as it is a mass kidnapping and indefinite detention regime
I don’t even care about the fallout, if Trump is really dead I’m gonna enjoy it.
In Gaza’s famine, I refuse to let my family starve or be forgotten.My mother is broken from loss,I’m fighting every day to keep them alive. $100 today can mean food, hope,survival. Stand with me—help me resist this cruelty and prove we will not be erased. Please repost chuffed.org/project/1282...
The thing about accepting Newsom's depravity against trans people or the homeless on the grounds of "Yeah, that's bad, but we have to beat Trump or it'll be worse." is that by accepting it, you mark it as acceptable, both within your mind and in the larger world around you.
Thank fucking god at least one publication has the courage and foresight to try to stop this narrative from spreading. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Not only is it an OP it’s a demonic one too, it literally makes you stupider, lazier, & it can cause you to have delusions or worsen already present mental health issues. Keep that shit away from me
Sam Altman really is saying (approximately) “everyone give me money and I’ll turn it into a wizard who will solve all our problems and then I’ll ask the wizard to make an even smarter wizard and it will just keep going forever.”
I really enjoyed More Everything Forever by Adam Becker—even when I was cringing at techbro and billionaire quotes. If you want to learn about the history of and problems with AI boosters it’s a good place to start.

When people say fiscally conservative, socially liberal this is what they mean - they want to decide the people who can be sacrificed based on bank account rather than skin colour. But they still want there to be disposable people.
We’re dying here 😭 Famine spares no one! There is nothing but poor quality canned food, it makes us sick and hurts our stomachs 😭 I swear my little daughter can’t accept it and refuses to eat it 😩 This link is our only hope to survive🙏🏻 Please help us… gofund.me/e87b8286 @mommunism.bsky.social 😭
Guess it’s time for your periodic reminder that mentally ill people are actually statistically less likely to commit violent crimes; more likely to be victims; and more at risk of hurting themselves than others. If you want to curb gun crimes curb guns. Threading some studies here!
I’m Sakher. I’m from Gaza. And I’m exhausted — physically, emotionally, spiritually. I don’t know how much more I can take. The world sees numbers. I live the names. I carry the screams. I walk through the ruins. I bury dreams. Every single day. We’re starving. gofund.me/f116bf44
I’m Reem, 19 years old, from Gaza. I’m not okay. I’ve been trying to stay strong… but inside, I’m falling apart. There’s no food. No water. No safety. Every day I wake up to the sound of war, and every night I go to sleep with an empty stomach and a heavy heart. gofund.me/4e333f55
I am a mother from Gaza tired and sick, with no strength left. My children eat only a little, and everything here has become so expensive. Sometimes I go hungry just to give them a small piece of bread, and still it’s never enough.💔 gofund.me/e53b4cdd
We are Sakher and Reem, from Gaza. You see Gaza on the news destroyed buildings, headlines, numbers. But what we live through every day is worse than anything shown on TV. We sleep hungry. We wake up to bombings. We walk through rubble just to find water. gofund.me/459d365f
Trans People: I'm not voting for anyone who would negotiate away my right to exist. Liberals on here: OH MY GOD WILL YOU CUT IT OUT WITH THE PURITY TESTS ALREADY JESUS STOP BEING SUCH A BABY DO YOU WANT TRUMP TO WIN A THIRD TERM THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT ACTUALLY I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE CAMPS
Upsettingly relatable.
A child whose parents refused to “give them the autism label” is still, inexplicably, autistic as fuck, it has been rumoured.
I’m so sorry.
As a trans/nb, even if Newsom's being a useful idiot he's not fun to root for. One thing Newsom stans aren't seeing (or are just ignoring): when people root for him now w/noreservations while he's *not* supporting trans people, then he has zero incentive to start listening to trans people *later*
Last year the birds ate the berries so quickly, this year they are just hanging there. I probably won’t risk it, maybe migrating birds will eat them eventually.
I have loads of it growing in my yard because it’s native and birds like it, but there haven’t been many birds this year. I have been considering making a possibly poisonous jelly. Info on this plant is so varied, but also people do eat it and it’s an important cultural practice for people who do.
People have died from this plant, usually from eating the greens too late in the year. Basically there are easier plants. At this time of year this one might only be good for bird food and compost.
It is too late in the year to consume it safely. For eating you have to find it in spring and cook it with multiple water changes. The berries are supposed to be safe only if they are ripe and you don’t eat the seeds, it might also be safer cooked into a (seedless) jelly. Be careful with this plant.
