Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

I absolutely understand anyone who doesn't want to go to another site. But I'll probably be posting over here more once I feel better, not *just* because of the everything with the CEO, but also because I really like not needing to worry about an arbitrary 300 character limit.

Oh hey if the latest bullshit has anyone leaving here for mastodon I can be found here: pony.social/@estrogenand...

I mostly post the same things I do here but sometimes take advantage of the longer format.

Also I’m fully open about being a system unlike here where I haven’t oope.

As a late 80’s/early 90’s kid, I have equal Interest in both.

Which is a complicated thing because I have complicated feelings on UB overall.

Also, mutants go brr.

Look, my background is in worldbuilding, I could worldbuild circles around the trash that is HP lore.

Magical school book where the MC learns about powers by yearning so hard to be a woman that spontaneous magic transition happens - and erases her deadname from everyone’s mind before picking her new name.

Chaos ensues, and she is whisked away to an all girl’s magic school and sapphic hijinks ensue.

I think undoing the damage that has come is a more achievable goal than time displacement.

But I don’t see this conversation being productive anymore. Have a good day.

Mara in her final form. 24 hours with her fully realized power in this world? I would be a goddess for that day, and I would have some shit locked up and probably be able to make some permanent improvements.

If you could turn into your OC for 24 hours and could live their life for one day - which one of your OCs would you want to be and why?

I don’t love PVP, so want a good enemy AI, and every Factorio mod RTS mod I’ve tried has pathing and controls that makes Starcraft 1 Dragoons look like rangers.

I am encouraging everyone to consider not going to cons this fall and winter and to mask with N95s or better if you do. This year’s COVID variant seems to be *extremely* transmissible, waste levels are spiking.

Im so mad because I desperately want a good Factorio with RTS elements.

If only there was some way to remove the pollution of 500,000 cars! Some way of massing transit so people had to drive less! Maybe we could dream bigger than 500k, and *not engage in eugenics.* and! If we make the air cleaner, people with asthma will be better off too!

Sadly that’s impossible.

The people who are most vulnerable to the hard-to-breathe air that comes with climate change may inadvertently be adding to the problem, new research finds. https://cnn.it/4pWQMoh

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

Aliette de Bodard @aliettedebodard.com · 5d

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!

Putting aside everything else he’s done, Charles Xavier’s dream from day 1 has always been “if we appease the people in power hard enough and also hyperpolice our own community, maybe one day the ruling class will like us,” and then people are surprised queer people prefer Magneto.
