As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

Protect yourself.
Protect others if you're able.
Protect all creatures, great and small.
Protect your heart from heart pirates.
Protect mossy forests and the darkness, living and dead, that dwells within.

Looking looks like a great dog. I'm sure you will miss him sharply for some time. 💚

Awww such pretty heterochromia eyes! Huskies are a special breed and so are their people. My last soul dog (I've been fortunate to have 2) was an Aussie who was suddenly paralyzed at about the same age. I miss him every day.
My sympathy.

This made me think about cavemen vs astronauts.
"Do the astronauts have weapons?"

Ninjas or pirates = you get kicked out from any "art"discussion immediately.

Or as terry pratchett put it: you just add one dragon....

No. I probably won't be out for a while. Need to take it easy for a little bit. I've been pushing myself for a while and I need to recalibrate. (Wish I could do this with work also!)

Across East Java is a region known as the Ijen volcano complex, a series of composite volcanoes famous for spewing sapphire-hued lava.

While mineral deposits cause the coloration, in #dnd & #writing, the source can be fantastical.

Yeah that would have been a great show. It probably was ticket sales. Did you see the Shirley Manson tirade about how unprofitable it is? Circle Jerks this past week - can't confirm but heard they lowered price to pull more ppl in. And it's gonna get worse.

It's really hard for me bc I'm a People Pleaser but hey I'm All Good with others being consensual & sex positive but I'd rather go pet a dog or have an intellectual artistic salon or eat sweet savories or clean the bathroom (yes really) or read. But sometimes I feel really pressed to not be ace.

B&N has dropped their Best Books of 2025 list with 2.5 months left in the year so here's your reminder that "best" is arbitrary, time is a construct, and there are still a ton of good books coming out that shouldn't be ignored just because the credits are rolling early

I didn't figure out until - I dunno, abt 3 or so yrsago? - that that was what I was. I'm mid50s now. TBH I don't t often care to swap bodily fluids but I like other things (snuggling, aesthetics) & I have appreciated body positive performance, had celeb crushes, read 'smutty' bks etc.

The news in the world is awful, but it's almost Halloween, so let's talk about pumpkin enrichment for big cats.

This is Jinx the black leopard (Big Cat Rescue, Florida) enjoying shredding a pumpkin.

Those who prop up the dead for their own purposes and plans, especially by way of AI, deserve a special place in hell.

Using AI to replicate someone’s likeness from the grave is not only desecrating the deceased, it’s playing God while using code and a glitchy voice filter.

Alan Elrod @aselrod.bsky.social · 2d

Churches showing an AI Charlie Kirk telling congregants, through an artificial voice, not to let evil win is a new level of instrumentalizing the dead.

When Trump goes, I think we’re going to see the same thing. Visions and AI slop will abound. Prophecies and messages from beyond the grave.

Alan Elrod @aselrod.bsky.social · 2d

I wrote about how MAGA is being shaped by a politics of immortality, how Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom reflects this, and what it could mean for the future of Trumpism. Read at @liberalcurrents.com

Thread. This is BAD. TLDR - 'able-bodied no dependents get 3 months a year of SNAP after shutdown. No more.

Tallulah Parton @moet-chandon.bsky.social · 2d

1/4 I just found out the new SNAP rules for homeless people.

Firstly, all SNAP is cut off at the end of October until the shutdown ends.

But, once it does come back on the exemption for homeless ABAWDS is gone.
