thank u for being one of the very few politicians who's willing to keep fighting for us in a time when so many who said they'd support us previously are throwing us under the bus to appease the fascists

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.

Hatsune Miku doing an upside down peace sign while winking at the viewer. She has 2 hearts on her left (our right) bang and one slightly larger heart in her right (our left). She has a gold crown hovering over her head while the date of her birth is seen on the upper right corner.

Trying out CrossCode, which has convinced me that games need to do away with silent protagonists and give me more monosyllabic goobers instead.

I would argue the ONLY reason bluesky got as large as it is now is because minorities got tired of dealing with the constant hate and doxxing we got on Twitter and this was the best looking alternative at the time

And I hate when these players joke and don't try/change their comp to troll. To me it seems like the thought process is we are so good that you don't deserve to fight us when we are trying (and I think this mentality goes for quite a few + players)I want these sets to be tough. It's all for practice

vulnerability is an enormous aspect of love and its hard to understand just how *physically* vulnerable our pets are and what it means for them

"Cats don't actually love you"

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don't you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it's helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

UPDATE FOR THOSE WHO CARE:

I will be going to San Diego this evening, where I expect to have internet access and short-term shelter. This is, however, a short-term arrangement, and for several reasons I suspect finding work, healthcare, etc. in San Diego will be more challenging than in many places

Hey so... did you know that the Mormon Church filed an amicus curiae brief on the 19th of September? Me either...

In short, "Giving trans people rights hurts us because it ruins our religious freedom to be bigots!"

Looking for some High Level Backline Analysis? Look no further! I fought against some of the BEST the western scene has to offer, and gave my thoughts on plays from both an individual and field wide POV! HOW did we even take a game??

People are kind of losing hope in the creators and players at the head of the community; not overtly but there are some things with a few people at the top that just bring everyone down. Moonlight struggling to perform as the fan-favorite team, kyo accepting the jackpot players, it all subtly hurts.

HANG IN THERE! 화이팅!

#art|#kpdh

Duffy and Sussy from Kpop Demon Hunters, depicted in a faux-ink painting illustration. Duffy, a blue tiger with red and yellow eyes, hangs from a pine tree branch with its lower body dangling in a futile manner. Sussy, a magpie with three yellow eyes and a gat, sits above, perched with indifference.
The caption reads: "HANG IN THERE | 화이팅! (fighting!)"
