Been making moves and hoping to be at a more financially stable place come August. Right now though, I'm going to need to some help to get me through the summer. Donate what you can. Even a repost helps!

I see Mr. Anime Avatar is very popular back on X. That makes sense. That makes all too much sense.

Gotta love it when political posters—who totally aren’t shut-ins sho do fuck all—decide they know better than somebody actually out on the streets doing the thing they post about.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

Here is Jamal from Gaza whose family lost everything and he is trying with all his might to rebuild their lives and help them with the crazy costs in Gaza and travel outside Gaza when the crossings open. I hope you support us. Your little support, even if it is $5

The fuck do you mean Diane Keaton died today???

When people in comics who committed identity fraud against their own company via yellowface say A.I. is bad, well that should say something.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

School book fairs should give huge discounts for students. Because kids deserve the excitement of going to a place you can buy books at and finding something you want.

B. Howler @bchoward.bsky.social · 1d

I spent $40 this week making sure my kids get books at the book fair. Not the smartest move given I work 2 jobs and constantly find myself having to budget just to get by, but fuck it. I’m not going to let my kids not have books.

The Online Safety Act was a disaster in the UK, and now they're trying to expand a similar bill to Canada. My Canadian friends, contact your MPs and tell them to OPPOSE this bill, bc if you thought the Discord leak was bad, this will be so much worse. #SaveSpeech

And I’ve been guilty of this to an extent, and honestly I just wanna be better because I wanna see you and so many others succeed.

I have no idea what to do but keep going though because to not write it all down would be a greater hell than never trying in the first place. I guess we soldier on or quit, and quitting isn’t an option right now.

B. Howler @bchoward.bsky.social · 1d

Sometimes it’s easier if I tell myself that while I’m making something for myself, there is always another weirdo out there looking for what you got to offer. But I get where OP is coming from. Hell, I even feel that with my own friends and close mutuals.

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

Porn actually gave an illustration of how to have sex. Not just where the body parts go, but things like foreplay and consent. It also helped me realize the desirability of many types of bodies. It was comforting for me, a fat person, who was often made ro feel like I wasn’t.

Jandri🔞 @jandri.bsky.social · Aug 15

It’s sad that the discussion around pornography is always framed as “it’s potentially harmful.” It’s also potentially healthy? What did you learn about yourself, your body, your gender, your preferences, your boundaries and your self expression through the smut you consume?
