Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Submissions are open through March 3rd for #TransRightsBundle2025! This year's bundle benefits Trans Ohio and the Kaleidoscope Youth Center! Submit your games here: itch.io/jam/ttrpgs-f...

I'd like to preface my comment by saying that IQ tests are still highly problematic and don't accurately measure a person's intelligence or usefulness to society. That being said, yeah, Musth was never as smart as he says he is. I'd wager 110 is still too high.

The committee on Science, Space, and Technology are collecting testimony of Federal employees fired in the past days. Please share with your colleagues and friends. The more testimony, the better we can argue against this injustice.

Real scientists are out there, and many are doing extraordinary outreach work. For example: Questions about volcanoes? Follow @volcanojess.com For [email protected] Anything about Mars? @tanyaofmars.bsky.social

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Went to a lefty art meeting tonight and man, I tell ya what, the political activist lefties and the scientists are all having the same conversations with slightly different details. Same comms problems, same challenges in messaging, extremely similar frustrations and enemies.

Loved this post from a postdoc who lived through the Bolsonaro years in Brazil: "The best 'fuck you' to fascists? Thriving. Publish that paper. Build that collaboration. Laugh with labmates. Science outlives dictators—but only if we stay in the fight." www.reddit.com/r/labrats/co...

I'm thinking about cleaning out my social media friend lists by posting progressively more controversial science facts over a hundred days and seeing who argues over what. #SickDayThoughts

“These stories should concern all Americans because they are our family members, neighbors and friends. No American can be proud of a government that carries out change in this way.” The American Bar Association speaks out. Please read and share. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Read all of these. Even the bits on drawing. If you understand how it’s drawn, you get better at writing what gets drawn. Yes, one of the is about Storyboarding for animation. Read it too. The concepts carry over.

I'm honestly really worried. I know they're trying to overwhelm us, and I'm doing my best to focus on one thing at a time, but all of my special interests are going to get hit hard by this wave of anti-intellectualism, and I don't know what to do about it.

I hate doing this, but I am desperate. I don't currently have a job, this is the longest I have ever been without employment in my entire life. It's just so hard for trans women to get hired. So if anyone is looking for a programmer with 20 years experience and doesn't care that I am trans, hmu

The longer this year goes, the more I think it was a mistake for the Jurassic Park movie to leave the part of the book out where the billionaire gets abandoned and eaten by his dinosaurs.

I'm depressed as shit, dealing with bad PTSD symptoms, very poor health, and feeling very alone right now. If you wanted to cheer me up, hitting my tip jar so I can deal with medical debt would help at PayPal.me/stompsite

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

It looks like I got a massive influx of followers for my political leanings. I definitely will keep trying to spread awareness of issues as I see them, but I also was planning to post more about things I enjoy as well. I'm still grateful-- just know what you're getting yourselves into. 😅

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
