This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

Bluesky's character count literally isn't long enough for how astonishing and out-of-pocket this woman was, lol. Like, there wasn't even room to add the bit about her being a master fencer who would humble your ass in duels for misgendering her

So if Unbound was selling books that had been crowdfunded, WHAT were they spending all of their money on? "[Unbound] is also reported to have spent more than £1 million developing a machine learning tool... It was never successfully deployed." HUNH.😑

As others are no doubt pointing out, the most infuriating and insulting thing about it is "I thought it was AI, it's a style it could do" is because it's a PLAGIARISM MACHINE and it STOLE the style of real working artists who have been developing their skills and signature look for YEARS >:(

just hit 200k followers and my campaign manager wants me to fundraise off it so instead of this corny post he drafted, I’ll just say,,,,, if everyone who followed me donated $2, we’d reach our fundraising goal of the quarter ($600k) and wouldn’t raise another cent after that 👀

A family friend thinks I’m living in fear because I mask They won’t visit because having to mask robs them of joy They’ve been sick for 2 weeks Today they admit it’s the worst flu of their life. Can’t get out of bed, eat or drink. I deserve a medal for not asking them if it impacted their joy

The joyful moment in RL when someone asks you to design buttons for their website and you go "sorry, not taking commissions atm, but I can send you contact info of artists who do". And their reaction is: "no, that would cost money." Bitch, did you think I would do it for free?

Goodreads the best place for thoughtful reviews like "I hate scifi but I read this scifi book anyway and didnt like it. 2 stars."

Unbound needs to see consequences, not only is all this fraudulent, they are also so shitty they wait till the due date of promised payouts to renege, thereby screwing over every writer who has actually budgeted for it. Beyond disgraceful and shameful, industry boycott should be the starting point

To be clear, this shields any research coming out of the NIH from independent peer review, which gives him total control to spread propaganda and makes any NIH study completely untrustworthy.

Do not give this woman a dime of your money. 1. Do not watch the new show. 2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts) 3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith. www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

The fundamental flaw of broken authoritarian narcissists (the core of the right-wing coalition) is that they view empathy as a finite resource, such that, if you extend it to one group, you can't extend it to another. They see all of life through a lens of scarcity, competition, & selfishness.

Worth repeating: this is exactly, word for word, what was used to argue against being gay when I was a teenager. “Oh it’s so sad, it’s so dangerous” when the people making it sad and dangerous are the homophobes/now transphobes

1. We have more info about California's transgender segregation/partial ban/displacement rule for the upcoming championships. If the trans athlete wins, the athlete underneath her will be given the same medal, unclear on if they will share the podium.

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.
