redraw of this piece from 6 years ago!! Changed the theming to be a bit more proactive. Because it's sad I can even do a redraw 6 years later.

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

Have you ever had a sleeping cat curl up against you and start gentle purring? That shit can heal you. (I'm on a sick day, this is recommended)

Just a reminder that anti-queer and anti-trans policies aren't actually popular.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

Being the elder Gen Z is such a weird concept. On one hand, you grew up in the early 2000s so you know niche stuff that most were not yet born into. On the other hand, you can relate to anyone younger cause we're still Gen Z yet reminded that you are in fact old

LinkedIn legit is the worst website for any networking or job searching. I stopped using it after a year of being laid off. It led me nowhere except "3 people seen your profile"

Passing, but at what cost 😔

Me and a course mate sit and have lunch together. During conversation, he finds out that Im trans

I blush and ask him if he didn't notice anything before, hoping to receive compliments

He replies that all the details he noticed before, he chalked it up to me being italian

Human clinical tests will need to authenticate its stability, safety, and protection levels in real-world situations. However, early results suggest that 04_A06 might ultimately play the role of a bridge between regular medication and the much-desired HIV vaccine.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

To be clear, ADF cooked up a case with fake facts, distorted medical research and fabricated harms to be able to gain the constitutional right to torture LGBTQ children.

That's what they want to do, to torture LGBTQ youth.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

The real reason why Bluesky is failing so bad at moderation is simply because they're scared of congressional investigations by Republicans and having to spend millions on lawyers they they don't have to defend against it. It's all political and about self preservation.
