You will never be pure enough. You will never be clean enough. A certain kind of person will try to bludgeon you to death with the bar of acceptability regardless of what you make or post.
So make or post whatever you want.

So I found out people are now harassing the maker of this mod and calling them a fucking pedophile and a zoophile for THIS.
What the fuck is wrong with people these days?
This is the tamest shit I’ve ever seen. Lola Bunny was racier than this in a G-rated film from the 90s.

PSA to avoid Uline like the plague for your packaging needs.
Clearbags has every specific bag and board you could want and there’s also good old BCW for comic & art sleeves on Amazon.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.
So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

![A Canva-mocked up call script re: calling electeds Trump Administration's actions in Venezuela
YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].
YOU: I’m calling [MOC] to demand they condemn the U.S.’s actions in Venezuela tonight. The Trump administration has carried out an illegal attack and capture of Maduro that is a clear violation of international sovereignty and will impact relationships will alienate international allies, and [ELECTED] must speak out about this.
YOU: I am also calling on [MOC] to:

2. Demand a legal written justification from the Administration,
3. Hold IMMEDIATE House/Senate Foreign Affairs hearings on the the decision-making, legality, and diplomatic risks of the Maduro operation,
4. Demand an immediate classified briefing for the Gang of Eight.
YOU: What happened tonight will have ramifications across the world in the days, weeks and months to come, and we need answers and action taken.

People be saying “you can’t put the genie back in the lamp/bottle/bag” when the literal most popular film about genies, Aladdin, ends with Jafar turning into a genie and getting shoved the fuck back into his new lamp.
Carry that energy into 2026. Make AI so unpopular that govts are forced to act.

The Grok reddit is just dudes giving each other advice and encouragement on how to commit digital rape.
There needs to be accountability for this. I don’t want to hear “the genie is already out the bag.” This shit needs to be destroyed.

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community
go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!
