How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I’ve been really enjoying sticker making of my work and hanging them around my neighborhood. Art can be shown everywhere. This whole world can be your gallery.

I bought the same kit with newer parts for 600 for a buddy, traded him for the older beater stuff he had and got $300 back lmao, it rules. The other day I found a deal on the 50/4 distagon and bought it via Klarna for shiggles (I hadn’t used pay-in-4 before but the spread of the cost is nice)

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, through the magic of the DealZone I got a Hasselblad kit for the least money I’m aware of anyone getting one for:
1x 500EL/M motorized body w/prism
150/4 Sonnar
250/5.6 Sonnar
2 film backs
All for $300.

My family was poor as shit and our apt complex had so many kids they had to run multiple bus routes to us, so I always rode the bus. Even when I was in behavioral ed/gifted program where the schools were further they’d run short buses out to us (which sucked socially lol)

It’s worse for everyone and it only exists because of fearmongering and paranoia, nothing real or concrete

Driving your kid to school should be a banned practice. It’s all hyper-individualist horseshit, it’s miserable to get stuck behind in normal traffic, it’s miserable to be in, it’s inefficient, it causes dangerous situations for kids and adults, and on top of it all, the bus ride is a social time!!!

Gravel Influencer @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 19h

The school drop-off line is indeed a microcosm of the worst driver behavior, but I'll just say that people who bike or walk regularly see selfish and violent actions everywhere on the road. If you're a driver complaining about other bad drivers, just think of how bad it is for people outside cars.

Patrick Wyman @patrickwyman.bsky.social · 1d

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

Alex Evertech Receives a Visit From A Mute Angel

A cardboard cutout representing a "stereotypical early 2000's furry" stands over a second cardboard cutout representing a "stereotypical circuit gay furry", who is asleep in a hotel bed. The first cutout is lit by a harsh spotlight, that fades into an unnerving halo. His eyes do not fully land on the viewer, the bed, or the second figure. He wears a pendant that reads "YIFF", mirrored backwards.

I love that one of the best albums of the year can either be called “Geese Getting Killed” or “Getting Killed by Geese”

Robert J O’Neill quotes it with
