Stunning footage of a rare dark coloured deer, with estimates suggesting they make up less than 1% of all deer.

Reposting for visibility and also to explicitly say that Arcana Europa as a publisher should be avoided for it’s blatant Neo-Nazi and far-right affiliations. One look at their site or FB profile should tell you enough but it also gets worse the deeper you dive.

The rot in heathen spaces is so, so deep. I should expect it bc I’ve been around long enough to know better but ffs, @rettcon.bsky.social & I are currently engaged in a FB convo where people are being full-on Nazi apologists. One of them is a white lady with a “make good trouble” profile picture!!

Try to make sure as many folks see this as possible, but especially MAGA. A lot of the stages described in this video are already familiar. Draw those parallels. Make those points. You may not get far with them, but they are not your audience.

“The actions of those who are fighting for the inclusion of “Outsiders” are done out of love and a passion for the health of their community. They are building frith, not breaking it.”

An excellent article that I suggest every heathen who would consider themselves inclusive read.

Then you will have to explain for me both that perspective and how it relates to your original point. If it’s human and emotional, then why make such a direct tie in to the USSR?
Everything is human and emotional, so with that logic, literally anything can lead to fascism.

Garrett W @rettcon.bsky.social · Jun 17

Leftists are not all Leninist/Marxist. Leftist politics and the way the USSR was run in practice are not the same. And there were reasons the USSR became a fascist dictatorship that don’t have anything to do with leftism.

What aspects of leftism do you think lead to fascism?

Garrett W @rettcon.bsky.social · Jun 16

I may have misinterpreted your critique on FB. Are you saying the USSR was leftist and still led to a dictatorship, so people who are more left than liberals and criticize liberalism for leading to fascism aren’t self-aware of how Marxism/Leninism leads to fascism?

Garrett W @rettcon.bsky.social · Jun 10

Yes. And please spend more effort doing that than pissing people off telling them (from the comfort of your own home) that the way they are protesting is bad and wrong.

This wouldn’t even be a discussion if it was Ukrainian flags.

Texas ranks:

- Third-highest for drunk drivers < 21 involver in fatal crashes
- Second worst for % of drunk drivers involved in fatal crashes
- ALSO second worst for % of traffic deaths caused by drunk drivers

Here’s our Lt Gov being terminally uncool.

More importantly, he’s lying - no one can find a record of this supposed 22 year-old.

Unless the LG’s office would like to share his source with the press, all I can conclude is that he’s lying bc he’s paid handsomely by the liquor lobby.

Something everyone invested in the #NJGOV election should read, especially if they are part of a marginalized community. How can immigrant families or queer/trans folks believe what Sherrill says when she doesn’t even make the barest minimum of signals that she is good on her word?

Miche N @skirmiche.bsky.social · May 27

I don't expect an answer to this, but genuine question for @mikiesherrill.bsky.social's team: how are we supposed to take you seriously when you say she's been "standing up for what she believes in" when...

I maintain that the events surrounding NET last year look especially damning against the backdrop of our current political climate. Some people at NET are trying to make the event safer for marginalized folks, but if change from the inside had been enough, this wouldn’t have happened.

Almost a year ago, my partner and I moved up to New Jersey, leaving Texas after living there for years (15 yrs for me, most of his life for my partner). It was a really hard move - I loved a lot of things about Austin, I had a great support network there, and the move itself was grueling & EXPENSIVE

Now, some of our close friends are looking to make the same move, and they're doing it on much shorter notice than initially planned, due to factors outside their control. If you can donate anything to help them, I would be eternally grateful 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/help-glori...

My dear friends are looking to get out of Texas to escape the anti-trans legislation there. These moves from red states to blue are only going to increase in volume as time goes on. Donating (even a small amount!) and/or sharing is a way of fighting back.
