It is … asinine to discuss protestors knocking over a trash can, or spraying graffiti on a cop car, when the federal government is trying to take away Medicare from millions of people, deporting people to overseas prisons, tackling U.S. senators, and kidnapping people at immigration court hearings.

I agree with the "no kings" if it means seizing and redistributing the wealth of the billionaires, otherwise if you change the president tomorrow we are still fucking serfs

Interesting update from the person who first called it out in the forums: "@procyonloiter and I just had a 3-hour in-person talk with @loarie and I am delighted to say that it has completely alleviated my concerns around this entire issue."

I have completed an Art! This is an early 16th century Iznik design from a tile in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, featured as Pattern Study 3 in Esra Almahal's superb book on Islamic Biomorphic patterns. #islamicGeometricArt #biomorphicArt #humanArtist #NoAI #traditionalArt #watercolor #gouache

Gnome Plant sighting! These strangely beautiful plants are #Holomycotrophic, in that they get all their nutrients from fungi instead of photosynthesizing. Their fungi buddies are typically Russulaceae. I choose to see them as flowers grown by fungi vs fungi parasitizers. 🌱🍄📸 #RarePlants #Nature

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Painted a kingfisher for a friend in memory of their dad. Brought back memories of mine cos he had this porcelain model of one that I used to try (and fail) to draw. A bit happier with this one #birds #kingfisher 🪶

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Out of all small mammals, bats are especially poorly suited for these sorts of daft trinkets: long-lived (some species live into their 30s) and slow-breeding, their populations can easily get hammered. Please sign 🦇

I get that people are deeply annoyed by iNat right now, but despite its deep flaws, I hope people can see that a better iNat, both the site functionality and the community, is worth fighting for. Here's my personal perspective.

This hurts me more than twitter. I've recommended @inaturalist.bsky.social as a reservoir of animal references untainted by Gen AI. My current friend circle is from iNat. #InverteFest was born there. We don't know the details of this program but knowing they're enabling google's BS is painful.

Folks, if you're an iNaturalist user and especially if you are a monetary donor, please comment on their post and ask them to stop partnering with Google AI. It'll devalue and alienate the very scientists that have made the site great. They should be paying experts instead.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Probably don't need to worry too much about finding the appropriate form of anti-fascist protest because there is no form of protest that fascists will find acceptable
