A purple caracal runs with its hands out front and grabbing menacingly. There is ink coming out of their eyes, mouth, paws, and tail. They wear a spiked collar.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Pretty easily? It’s not hard to take a well intentioned or pop culture reference and make it racist. People do that daily

Used some MLP base art and then transferred it to my own pony style (with mix of G1 and G4). This takes place BEFORE Daydream becomes an alicorn.

Swap scrolling and gaming until your eyes closed with reading a book before bed.

Not listening to an audio book. READ.

Reading is a skill so so important to expanding our horizons, fighting propoganda, and promoting literacy.

I need to be crystal fucking clear. This is NOT a pro-genAI post. It’s a “white people please process y’all racist past before making additional racist jokes”

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

This is a poster for ChocolateQuill's Caracaloween commissions. The picture is a wizard caracal casting a spell beneath a potion clearly made to look like a caracal with whiskers.

The text says: Indi's Caracaloween four.
Take the potion, drink it all, transform into a caracal! But beware, some risks apply. On tricks and treats you can rely. Thirty USD, plus ten to add clothes or a costume. Ten slots open. Completed by halloween.

The poster depicts a green turtle frog using a caracal potion to turn into a cute green caracal. The text says:

DETAILS. If ordered by october 18th, guaranteed october thirty first completion. If ordered after october 18th, November completion. Basic design and recognizable features retained! Art is a surprise. No works-in-progress. May have a spooky or silly twist. Cute chibi flatcolors. BUT BEWARE. Three of the potions came out...strange. Still caracal we think, but with a twist. Will you take the risk? Order on ko-fi.

I’m saying read, not listen, because it requires a different set of skills.
Having trouble focusing?
1. Read WHILE listening to the audio books
2. Pick a short book!

I also suggest books with mostly words - pictures are excellent analysis too but we need both skills!

It's important for people to understand that nothing we're going through is new for various communities; it's just being easily now amplified.

Not in an "I told you so" or a "wake up sheeple" kind of way.

Interrogate how it was so easy for you/people like you to overlook and adjust accordingly.
