Fourteen Thousand. The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

Here's a really visceral example of why everyone should be upset about potentially privatizing the USPS-- whether you ship things, or have things shipped to you, you would be VERY effected. That price from UPS is the next "cheapest" international rate compared to USPS rates.

Hellbenders are North America’s largest salamanders reaching 2 feet long & weighing up to 5 pounds. Sadly, a Trump administration proposal would allow the activities that endangered hellbender habitat to expand unabated. Learn more: biodiv.us/4m3ZCia 📷: David Herasimtschuk/Freshwaters Illustrated

POTENTIAL PASTS: Blurring the line between speculative evolution and palaeontology, I'm designing a selection of hypothetical taxa that could have existed in prehistory! A highly aberrant herbivorous abelisaurid from one of innumerable islands totally wiped from the geological record.

I support trans rights; I recognise and respect trans people and their right to exist the same as others; I resent and object to the tired lies that bigots promote. Trans rights are human rights.

it feels like there is a very determined effort by games media/industry people in particular, and most of the audience in general, to simply not talk about Microsoft getting added as a priority target to BDS. not hard at all to guess why but it's still shameful www.bdsmovement.net/microsoft

submitted 61 days ago • 5 comments

the BDS requests on microsoft are extremely clear and also targeted. they aren't "uninstall windows now and change your entire life," they aren't even a huge ask for games media outside of like exclusive world of warcraft streamers. there is no reason for the near total silence other than shame

A 6,500-year-old hunting kit that contained pieces of a spear thrower and a boomerang, as well as wood- and stone-tipped darts, was found in a cave in West Texas near the remains of a small fire. It was also by a pile of well-preserved human waste — evidence of those who had once sheltered inside.

a thing that always drives me crazy in online discourse is when some popular personality or public figure is outed as a conservative and people are like "oh come on, they're not a bigot, they're just a regular old republican!" like. what values do you think the republican party holds, exactly

Having a rough time and all the vet bills took a huge chunk out of my money (and this ordeal is far from over). Mentally I'm not in a headspace to be doing commissions, but they also make the most money, so any ko-fis or sticker sales would really help out.
