FYI, coming up next week: a #SaveOurServices day of action led by unionized federal workers to reject the Musk coup, complete with rallies and social media action. More details at bit.ly/SOSaction, h/t @ericblanc.bsky.social

based on the power suit cuz i think the shoulders fit better

Marcille is a black mage who is forced to learn white magic bc her gf who was the whm is gone and the party said oh you’re a caster right

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

I just wanted to draw domestic vanco and slightly horny warwick #zaundads #vanco #silco #vander #arcane

THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT, FEO UL! It’s only sorta helping. But you mean well and we love that about you. This is why you’re number one in our heart. 💖 #feoul #finalfantasyxiv #ffxiv

Just a quick signal boost for those of you who understand what and who you support with your dollars matters.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

God, what an icon

Fight fight fight

"Take it from me, little witch. Any soul out there who tries to restrict the things you learn is only doing it to keep you square under their thumb."

They're good friends (A request I received in my Patreon mailbag, which is currently open for this month's submissions!) [ patreon.com/nyansarts ] [ ffxiv art | ffxiv comic | sahagin | kobold ]

I always learn something new from Colleen, at whose fingertips lie grand vistas of comics history unknown to me - and this one stands out for drawing a picture of a dominant talent in Japan (almost) completely unknown to the American market.

The ridiculous thing about transgender operations is of course the headline here but I feel compelled to mention that he is literally telling us he wants to bring back the Gilded Age

"It makes me sick to think of him profiting from such vile hate.”

Federal employees are now being told they will be fired if they do not reply to a guy who does not respond to the Moms of his kids.

Apparently we can submit public comments on US Passport form changes related to Trans people. It’s a small thing we can do, but these public comments have changed policy before. Read the top comments on how to go about it www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

Remember how in FF8 you could sing into a river on the world map and a creepy shadow man would tell you about a burned out village surrounded by forests and then you would find it and it’s just ruins you can’t explore and this has no greater meaning or quest, just tragedy Games should be weirder

We are going to have to start doing fucking wheatpaste flu shot campaigns in our neighborhoods, I'm not even kidding

In summation, a qualified Black man got fired and will be replaced with a white man who doesn’t meet the qualifications for the position.

Any countries building Starlink into their telecom systems should be thinking twice right now.

cryinggg I think this is the best portrait I've ever made in this game #ffxiv #myocs

STOP SPINNING THE BOSS

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

F**k That’: Federal Workers Say They’re Scared But ‘Digging In’ Amid Trump’s Chaos “Whoever wrote that email really underestimated who they were sending it to” Bravo to our union brothers & sisters in the USG for holding the line for all of us! www.huffpost.com/entry/federa... #solidarity

For those of you who have noted that Substack is basically a Nazi Bar and you’re looking for a place to move your writing to, the info in this thread may be an option worth looking into.

Hey folks, when I tell y’all that shitting on people in “red states” is white supremist classist bullshit because for the most part we’re practically hostages, this is what the fuck I mean. THIS is why “vote harder” doesn’t fucking work, here. #BlackSky #LeftSky

Japan’s Sexual Predator-Friendly System is not a tourist attraction Only 4% of rape cases are reported Prosecutors fail to indict 50% Journalist Shiori Ito sought justice after rape #BlackBoxDiaries documents that struggle Read and share if you care 🙏 ⬇️ tokyopaladin.substack.com/p/japans-sex...

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

Oh look, it's the exact thing trans people warned all the cis women would happen to them as a result of this discrimination. Countdown to black women being told they don't qualify as "genetic women."

Bocchi the metal

This is how it’s done.

feetcuffs is insane. do they think he's Jason Bourne

Update: The White House is already backing down on this. Keep calling your reps. Keep pressuring them. Along with your reps, the white house phone number is (202) 456-1111. Use 5calls.org to get all your reps in one place along with a guide. www.nysun.com/article/whit...

Senators are raising concerns with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem over reports of ICE agents harassing and detaining Native Americans who they mistakenly think are undocumented immigrants they're trying to deport. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...
