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.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

A blue death-feigning beetle (Asbolus verrucosus) climbs down some stone. These beetles are ridiculous and move like fake bugs, just unfathomably cute.

#insects #coleoptera #beetles #invertebrates #m43 #invertefest #invertober

A waxy, sky blue beetle is in frame with segmented antennae, reddish hairs on its feet, and rows of bumps along its elytra. It is hanging precipitously from a small cliff of stone to reach a lower level of stone.

And this really is emblematic of the new nihilist conservatism we have these days springing from the moldy crevices of the internet. To these people, everything is shit, nothing is good, nobody can be sincere, and equality is a joke. DEI must be a conspiracy because who could hope for better?

What must it be like to live your life through the lens of “No DEI?” Incapable of enjoying what appears to be a cute and cool little game about making a rocket factory. Terrified of seeing anyone who isn’t white and male in a lead role. Absolutely pathetic and devoid of joy.

Tbh this is why I'm for the total abolition of esports. When we start treating video games like a sporting event, we get the corrupt culture of one. The future of fighting games are with the fu/himejoshis. Not in a sports arena

Happy with this response. I checked the code of conduct and they now list the criteria that disqualifies a game for an achievement set, rather than just nebulously listing a set of 4 games that aren't allowed. RA is a really cool concept and I'm glad they didn't bend the knee to shitty folks.
