I got to design debit cards at work today and the temptation to just add a very very tiny picture of my cats on low opacity was sooooo strong

Waking his ass up like he does mine every morning:/

A very sweet tabby cat laying in a cat bed with a white blanket covering his body. He looks very sleepy.

Worker owned things will have much better time existing when people will understand that “the rich/capitalists” doesn’t mean “anybody who gets paid (slightly more than me) for their work”

when I was defending itch I heard from a lot of - frankly to my shock - other queers who were like "it's a platform, platforms are the enemy" and until we're able to distinguish _as users_ the ways in which worker owned services aren't your enemy and deserve grace, we won't be seeing very many

One mythical day I will have more free time and teach myself how to make vtubers 🥺👉👈

It just seems really fun and I miss working w 3D software!

Lizard @lizmccownart.bsky.social · 5d

Thank you 😭 its such a complicated situation and it’s so hard to explain unless you’ve been in it

Lizard @lizmccownart.bsky.social · 5d

Yay!!!! That’s so exciting!!!!!!

We’ve been working on this for like 2 yrs now but this is the first time we’ve actually been able to get a dumpster out there. Now the whole first floor is much much better and we’re working on the basement next which requires a lot more sorting bc it’s newer stuff and can be donated

Lizard @lizmccownart.bsky.social · 5d

I unexpectedly spent all weekend filling up a 20 yrd dumpster at my grandparents house (semi-hoarding situation) so I did not get as much done this weekend as planned work wise 😭

We made 2 1/2 rooms livable again! Yay! But also I’m very sore lol

Ok I fully forgot about this but for like the first several acts I didn’t have flash installed on the computer I was reading HS with so I just fully skipped all the interactive stuff 😭 I just thought it wouldn’t load 😭

I really can not overstate how different I would have been without this stupid web comic and growing up alongside the characters <3

Rereading Homestuck >:]

This was my first major fandom (got me onto tumblr) and was also my first cosplay (Dave!) and got me into the convention scene (I table now). It also introduced me to the concept of being gay (raised conservative Christian and didn’t understand why I wasn’t into boys LMAO)

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you give a list of the prescriptions you take to a federal government that has directly targeted people with chronic illness, mental illness, disability, autism, etc, with the eugenic language of elimination and stated outright they’re everything wrong with the country.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.

This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause

How stable are the gender identities of younger children?
