FNAF creator Scott Cawthon's LGBTQIA+ stance is just as toxic as JK Rowling's, yet the majority of the fandom seems to have given him its seal of approval anyway. There's a sexy bear and fox, so that justifies feeding the hate machine? It's like furries eating at Chick-fil-A. I just don't get it.

I tried to get it. It's 48k for the year. 24k per shot. My insurance declined it but I'm going to try again. It's wild how capitalism keeps access to life changing medicine out of the hands if those who could really use it.

They'll likely appeal and seek a stay pending appeal. Also, they've fired a lot of people, so the wait is going to be long even if you have imminent travel. And frankly, I won't be surprised if the remaining feds just don't comply "by mistake"

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

want to work up your protest resilience? start by wearing a respirator (kn95, kf94, n95+) in your daily life, at the very least in public indoor spaces. fascists love spreading disease— it does their dirty work for them— so prevent it, & maintain your & your communities health in the process.

The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.
