Love. They're just trying to enrich and protect those they love at the expense of everyone else. You wouldn't kill for a new car, but what about the radiant smile and sparkling eyes of your special someone when you make them happy?

As pride month comes to an end it's time for the #PrideBookFair! You can grab the Big Bundle of Queer Awesomeness, and find The Potent Solution in the Fantasy bundle! Big Bundle > itch.io/b/3084/pride... Fantasy Bundle > itch.io/b/3076/pride...

The Right really is in disarray because they cannot seem to figure out if they should push “Zohran Mamdani is going to bring Sharia Law” or “Zohran Mamdani treats his wife with too much equality” as a smear campaign, so they are doing both.

The death toll of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza is now estimated at 100,000 The list is 1,227 pages long. The first 11 pages are names of babies dead before the age of 6 months. The first 381 pages are all children. archive.is/2025.06.28-0...

someone took screenshots of these posts which then went all over twitter and, apparently, many discord servers

Historically successful civil rights movements whose gains are also increasingly coming under fire in the US because the reactionary wing is going full scorched-earth. We've seen this with MeToo 'going too far', or even 'CRT gone wild'. Stop legitimizing right-wing framing as normal politics.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

please stop posting actionable threats on the internet

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

I'm gonna be alone forever

I'm gonna be alone forever, aren't I?

Love is the stupidest thing ever. Some random fuzzy feeling overrides everything else and determines if you wind up dying alone.

Saying no to bigotry, respecting other creators, and maintaining a healthy community were kinda my core values to begin with so i support this. …also ngl Vsona as a label is starting to grow on me…

I need you to understand that EVERY SINGLE ANTI-TRANS TALKING POINT IS A LIE. This is enough estrogen ester for 60 YEARS of HRT for a trans woman. The only other ingredient needed to prepare it for injection is... castor oil. This lifetime supply cost $68. We are not "in the pocket of Big Pharma".

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

there are cats older than ICE

#chainsawman #csm205 GOD DAMNIT FUJIMOTO HOW DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS? IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE IT HURTS.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

It’s tempting to think things like, “Well, at least these fascist authoritarians are incompetent clowns. Imagine if they were as efficient as the Nazis?” Except that the sadistic brutality of their tactics often obscures the actual history — that the Nazis were often shocking incompetent clowns.

jk rowling has set up a persecution fund so transphobes can drag trans women through the courts for the crime of... being gainfully employed. nick frost and the rest of them are directly contributing to that by making her money. fuck off with this cake-and-eat-it-too bullshit.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

anyway if you were going to start a massive protest in any city outside of california this is probably the best opportunity you'll ever get

ICE ran out of water in less than a day when confronted by a peaceful protest in LA. The fascist threat from trump is paper thin and 100% dependent on people not pushing back on it.

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

really illustrates just what a pathetic bit of theater this is there are simply not large scale riots going on, there’s a clusterfuck of an ICE operation that went badly in one place yesterday if LA was full on rioting I promise everyone would know

PASS IT ON: If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Look, I’m about as nonviolent as they come, but we have to…not say things like “the protests must remain nonviolent to have legitimacy” because then all Trump has to do is send in some guy with a brick.

Epic Games: Laid off 850 people last year Sells off Bandcamp after they unionize, briefly leaving them in jeopardy Allows Crypto/NFT games Still pushing into the Metaverse years too late Promotes GenAI content in Fortnite and their engine as the future of game development Tim Sweeney is an idiot

at this point if you are buying harry potter merchandise, it's no longer merely supporting a transphobe, you're directly funding genocide.

Meanwhile back on Twitter, one of the top posts today is hating on people with brown skin for being in a National Park, and comparing it to a hypothetical time when the crowd was whiter. It's so bad over there and I don't know why anyone who isn't an overt nazi or racist still posts there.

#csm204 #ChainsawMan So, is he the Fire Hybrid, or was Fire just inside him in general (like Future in Aki's eye)? Also, WOULD

We should have a memorial day for COVID. It is horrific that we as a society have done virtually nothing to remember the millions who have died. Rushing to forget what happened also makes it much more likely that we will continue to repeat our deadly mistakes.

I love VTubing but I hate being a VTuber. This community feels rotten and you suffer more for pushing back against the insane amount of hatred than when playing into it. I don’t want to give up on this space but damn is it hard to keep going. Hopefully one day things will be different..
