It doesn't matter how despicable a person is, mocking their innate physical appearance is always wrong.

Not because it's cruel to them, but because it perpetuates the harmful idea that innate physical appearance has anything to do with one's character / beliefs / actions.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Disabled folks feeling guilty for not protesting today: *it is not your fault* that organizers don’t make an effort to make protests accessible and don’t encourage masking

And despite what folks on Bluesky would have you believe, there are MANY ways to resist and protests don’t have to be your way

“well it’s only good if people actually put in the work in between these events”

yeah and how do you think they get the motivation to do that? sitting around and posting on the internet all day about how much everything sucks doesn’t seem to be very effective

If you are so concerned about stopping Trump and his administration. Then you shouldn’t be vote suppressing the Democratic Party in any fashion.

Would you like for me to design you a dogbold? I'm currently open for 1 commission slot.

Tell me the dog breed, or character, you'd like me to base yours on, and I'll make you a two sided ref sheet for 45 GBP. Want to add a headshot? That'll make it 55 GBP in total. Reply if you're interested!

Who allowed this!? 😼

A four panel comic
Sarah gestures towards Pesto, yelling: This cat is TOO CUTE!!

Sarah grabs Stef by the arms, yelling: Who ALLOWED this?!

Sarah balls their hand into a fist in the palm of their other hand, sternly yelling: Call the authorties!

Pesto looks head empty.
Sarah, off panel: SOMEBODY STOP HER!!

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Screenshot from Windows Settings>Privacy and Security>Text and image Generation.

We're still stuck with the NTFS file system, searching with Explorer is a joke and we have had the important underpinnings of the OS split between Control Panel and Settings since fucking 2012.

But no THIS was what Windows users needed.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

Watched James Gunn's Superman last night.

It had a few flaws, but overall it was an incredibly enjoyable experience.

Nicholas Hoult did a fantastic take on Lex Luthor.

part of why I keep harping on "transition doomerism is literally just body image issues going unchecked using dysphoria as an excuse to deflect from all concerns" is that I keep seeing transition doomer girls post selfies and looking like extremely normal women. Just incredibly normal-looking.

Your system might never be exploited, but given how many people are reluctant to move to Windows 11 or stand to reason hackers will zero in on Windows 10 as a target rich environment.

It's not a good gamble. Choose one of the above options quickly, please.
